TRADING STATEMENT: YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

Paragraph 3.4(b) of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited requires
an issuer to publish a Trading Statement as soon as it is satisfied that
a reasonable degree of certainty exists that the financial results to be
reported on next will differ by at least 20% from those of the previous
corresponding reporting period.

RMH’s sole investment is its 34% interest in FirstRand Limited
(“FirstRand”). Shareholders are referred to FirstRand’s Trading Statement
released on SENS earlier today.

Guidance for the increase in RMH’s basic earnings per share (“EPS”),
headline EPS and normalised EPS are as follows:

to most accurately represent underlying operational performance.

not been reviewed and reported on by RMH’s external auditors. RMH’s
results for the year ended 30 June 2013 will be released on SENS on or
