MMG - MICROmega - Changes to the Board of Directors MICROmega HOLDINGS LIMITED (Registration number 1998/003821/06) (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) ISIN code: ZAE000034435 Share code: MMG ("MICROmega" or "the Company") CHANGES TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS MICROmega has appointed Mr Dave King as Executive Chairman of the Company, with immediate effect. Mr Greg Morris, the outgoing Chairman stated; " It is well known that Dave King was the founder of the MICROmega Group and that he still retains a beneficial interest in the Company as a result of a significant minority shareholding via an offshore trust that is managed by HSBC. It is also well known that Mr King has been engaged in litigation with the State for almost 10 years. While there have been numerous attempts to settle this litigation there is no real prospect of an imminent settlement that can meet the interests of all parties." Mr Morris continued; " Over the last couple of years Mr King has required less time to devote to his legal matters and MICROmega has been able to utilise his services on a consultancy basis to assist with new business opportunities that Mr King has identified for the Company. Mr King advised me last year that he would be in a position to devote his attention to normal business activities of the Company from January 2011 and after discussions with my fellow board members I extended an invitation to him to rejoin the board of directors as Executive Chairman. This will provide me, as Group CEO, with more time to devote to growing the existing businesses and to take advantage of the strong platform that has been put in place over the last few years. Mr King will focus on new business opportunities as have been identified by him and Mr Duncan Carlisle will remain as Group Managing Director spending more of his time in growing our international businesses in South America and China." Mr Morris concluded; "MICROmega now has a strong and effective executive team with a common culture and the addition of Mr King to this team positions the Company well for both organic and acquisitive growth." 17 January 2011 By order of the board MICROmega Holdings Limited Sponsor Java Capital Date: 17/01/2011 16:39:04 Supplied by www.sharenet.co.za Produced by the JSE SENS Department.
