AND - Andulela Investment Holdings Limited - Update on the acquisition by Andulela of Gibbsteel (PROPRIETARY) Limited ("GibbSteel") ANDULELA INVESTMENT HOLDINGS LIMITED (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Registration number: 1950/037061/06) JSE code: AND ISIN: ZAE000125894 ("Andulela" or "the company") UPDATE ON THE ACQUISITION BY ANDULELA OF GIBBSTEEL (PROPRIETARY) LIMITED ("GibbSteel") Shareholders are referred to the announcements dated 1 February 2011 and 18 March 2011, and are advised that the agreement referred to therein in relation to the acquisition by Andulela of Gibbsteel ("the transaction") was amended to reflect a change to the Tangible Net Asset Value ("TNAV") of the transaction and the purchase consideration. Due to the changed purchase consideration revised Financial Effects are shown. TRANSACTION PURCHASE CONSIDERATION The transaction purchase consideration of R51 million based on TNAV at the date the agreement was originally signed, has increased to R95 million resulting from an increase in value of plant and equipment, based on a sworn fair market valuation. The proposed value adjustment will be subject to a Due Diligence review, the outcome of which will be reported to the board of Andulela. Accordingly the cash portion of R35 million rand remains unchanged but the balance of the purchase consideration payable in Andulela ordinary shares at an issue price of 40 cents per share will increase from 40 million to 150 million Andulela ordinary shares. CLASSIFICATION OF THE TRANSACTION The transaction remains a category 2 transaction as classified in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements.

Because of their nature, the unaudited pro forma financial effects may not give a fair presentation of the company`s financial position and performance and may not be comparable with the previous announcement in this regard which covered the six months ended 30 June 2010. The unaudited pro forma financial effects have been compiled from the audited consolidated financial statements for the 18 months ended 31 December 2010 and are presented in a manner consistent with the format and accounting policies adopted by the company and have been adjusted as described in the notes below:
