UCS - UCS Group Limited - Results of General Meeting, Remaining Conditions Precedent and Expected Timing of the Unbundling UCS GROUP LIMITED (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Registration number 1993/002253/06) Share code: UCS ISIN: ZAE000016150 ("UCS") RESULTS OF GENERAL MEETING, REMAINING CONDITIONS PRECEDENT AND EXPECTED TIMING OF THE UNBUNDLING 1. Introduction UCS shareholders ("Shareholders") are advised that at the UCS general meeting held on 31 March 2011, the ordinary and special shareholder resolutions pertaining to the disposal by UCS of all the shares in and claims held by UCS against certain of its subsidiaries to Business Connexion Group Limited ("BCG") ("the Disposal") and the subsequent unbundling of the consideration shares received from BCG pursuant to the Disposal to Shareholders ("the Unbundling") ("the Transaction") were passed by the requisite majority of Shareholders present or represented by proxy. The special resolutions have been lodged, for registration, with the Companies and Intellectual Property Registration Office ("the Registration"). 2. Remaining conditions precedent to the Transaction Shareholders are referred to the announcement published on the Securities Exchange News Service on 29 March 2011 and in the press on 30 March 2011 regarding the allotment and issue of 25 033 334 A ordinary shares ("the A Shares") to UCS at their par value of R0.0059 which increased the consideration for the Disposal by an amount of R147 696.67. In terms of an addendum to the sale of shares and claims agreement, entered into between UCS and BCG on 31 March 2011, a further condition precedent to the Transaction is that by no later than 29 April 2011 (or such later date as may be agreed to in writing between UCS and BCG), the A class ordinary shares in the issued share capital of BCG have been listed on the JSE Limited ("JSE") and the JSE has provided written confirmation that the A Shares to be allotted and issued to UCS will be listed on the JSE on the allotment and issue thereof ("the Additional Condition Precedent"). While unconditional Competition Commission approval for the Transaction has been obtained, certain conditions precedent, being primarily the Additional Condition Precedent and the Registration, are still to be fulfilled ("the Remaining Conditions Precedent"). 3. Expected timing of the Unbundling The Unbundling entitlement ratios and the Unbundling date will be confirmed on the expected finalisation date which is currently Thursday, 5 May 2011 ("the Expected Finalisation Date"). The Expected Finalisation Date is based on the assumption that the Remaining Conditions Precedent will be fulfilled on 29 April 2011. The finalisation date will change should the Remaining Conditions Precedent be fulfilled before or after 29 April 2011.
