LAB - Labat Africa Limited - Joint clarification announcement by Labat and Aurora Empowerment Systems (Pty) Ltd LABAT AFRICA LIMITED Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa (Registration number 1986/001616/06) JSE code: LAB ISIN: ZAE000018354 ("Labat" or the "company") JOINT CLARIFICATION ANNOUNCEMENT BY LABAT AND AURORA EMPOWERMENT SYSTEMS (PTY) LTD ("AURORA") Shareholders are referred to recent press articles which have implied that Aurora will list by 30 July 2010. The directors of Labat, in conjunction with the directors of Aurora, would like to clarify the comments made in such articles. Shareholders are referred to the firm intention announcement released by Labat on 7 April 2010, which set out the terms of the transactions entered into by and between Labat, Link Private Equity and Investments (Pty) Ltd ("Link") and Aurora, which transactions provide for Labat to dispose of its existing business to Link ("disposal") as well as the transaction which will result in Aurora acquiring control of Labat through the acquisition of an initial 45.7% shareholding in Labat from Link ("change in control"). The draft circular to shareholders in relation to the disposal and the change in control has been commented on by the JSE Limited ("JSE") and the Securities Regulation Panel. Discussions are ongoing relating to certain matters and a further announcement will be made as soon as these are finalised. There are no agreements in place between Labat and Aurora in relation to the acquisition of new assets by Labat from Aurora. There is also currently no intention to list Aurora on the JSE. Aurora will merely become the controlling shareholder of Labat once the change in control is unconditional.
