To date 17 435 377 Life Healthcare shares have been disposed by the Company and its remaining investment in Life Healthcare after the open market disposal amounts to 16,949,903 or 1.63% of the total issued Life Healthcare shares. 2. RATIONALE The disposal is part of Mvela group`s overall unlocking strategy to realise value for its shareholders. The sale proceeds have been utilised to pay down certain debt of portfolio companies and a Capital Gains Tax ("CGT") obligation of R46,8 million arising from the unbundling of the Life Healthcare shares. 3. CONSIDERATION RECEIVED The total cash consideration received in respect of the open market disposal is approximately R91,1 million net of all transaction costs. 4. JSE CATEGORISATION In terms of the JSE Listings Requirements, the aggregation of the open market disposal and the initial disposal is categorised as a category 2 transaction. 5. FINANCIAL EFFECTS The unaudited pro forma financial effects of the initial disposal and the open market disposal (collectively the "Disposals") set out below have been prepared to assist Mvela Group shareholders in assessing the impact of the Disposals on the Company`s historical earnings per share ("EPS"), headline earnings per ordinary share ("HEPS"), net asset value per ordinary share ("NAVPS") and net tangible asset value per ordinary share ("NTAVPS"). The pro forma financial effects are the responsibility of the directors of Mvela Group and are provided for illustrative purposes only. The pro forma financial effects have been prepared on the basis that the Disposals had been fully implemented on 1 July 2010 for Income Statement purposes and as at 31 December 2010 for purposes of the Statement of Financial Position. The pro forma financial effects do not purport to be indicative of what the consolidated financial results would have been had the Disposals been implemented on a different date. The material assumptions are set out in the notes following the table. Due to their nature, the pro forma financial effects may not fairly present the financial position, changes of equity, results of operations or cash flows of Mvela Group after the Disposals. The net value of and the after tax profits attributable to the net assets of Life Healthcare are R228,667,954 and R33,467,865, respectively.

R46,8 million of the proceeds received from the open market disposal will be used to pay down CGT obligations. 4. Interest paid has been reduced by R6,1 million as a result of the disposal proceeds applied to interest bearing debt. Taxation of R2,4 million claimed in respect of this has been reversed. 5. A profit on the Disposals of R33,5 million has been recognised being the difference between the fair value of Life Healthcare shares at 1 July 2010 of R13.55 per share and the net proceeds received on the Disposals of R275 million. 6. A deferred taxation liability of R27,065,419 as at 1 July 2010 has been set off against the CGT incurred on the profit from Disposals. 7.
