2017 wherein they were advised that all suspensive conditions to the Transaction had been

Sasfin ordinary shares (“Shares”) at R51.00 per share in terms of a specific issue of shares
for cash (“Subscription”); and
- Sasfin would make an offer to repurchase all or some of the Shares held by Shareholders
(“Repurchase Offer”) at R51.00 per share in compliance with all of the applicable
requirements for a scheme of arrangement in terms of section 114 of the Companies Act, 71

Shareholders are advised that in terms of the Subscription, 8 107 662 Shares were issued to
