PSG - PSG - Reunert And PSG Undo Joint Ventrue In Quince Capital PSG Group Limited Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa Registration number 1970/008484/06 Share code: PSG ISIN code: ZAE000013017 ("PSG" or "the Company") REUNERT AND PSG UNDO JOINT VENTRUE IN QUINCE CAPITAL Reunert Limited ("Reunert") and PSG Group Limited ("PSG") have agreed to end their joint participation in Quince Capital Holdings (Pty) Limited ("Quince") formed in May 2007. The subprime crisis has the potential of greatly increasing the cost of funding to Quince necessitating exploring alternative ways of financing the business. Such evaluation of funding options has led the partners in Quince to conclude that it would be in the interest of shareholders to undo the joint venture. Consequently, Reunert will acquire all the shares not owned by Reunert in Quince for approximately R420 million, being the original amount invested by the exiting shareholders (including PSG), plus the retained profit in Quince attributable to these shareholders for the period 2 May 2007 to 31 January 2008 payable in cash. Simultaneously, PSG, Michiel le Roux and management will purchase their original investments previously sold to Quince, i.e. Quince Property Finance (previously ZS Rational) and Quince Scripfin, from Quince. They shall continue to develop these profitable companies and explore further opportunities. The aforesaid is subject to the finalisation of formal agreements between Quince Shareholders, as well as shareholder and regulatory approvals (to the extent required) and, if approved, will have an effective date of 1 February 2008.
