ONGOING DISCUSSIONS                                                             
Further to the announcement dated 27 October 2010 in which shareholders were    
advised of arbitration proceedings between Reckitt Benckiser (SA)               
(Proprietary) Limited ("RBSA") and Cipla Medpro in relation to a  claim of      
approximately R300 million by RBSA (which was subsequently increased to         
approximately R332 million) and a counter claim of approximately R280           
million by the Company arising from a manufacturing agreement entered into      
in 2003 and relating to the temporary closure in 2007 of its factory in         
Durban by the Medicines Control Council ("the Claims"), whilst it was still     
named Enaleni Pharmaceuticals, shareholders are advised as follows:             
*    The Arbitration proceedings (which commenced in Cape Town in April     
         2012, and which have run for some 7 weeks) have been settled by        
         agreement between the Company and RBSA;                                
    *    The agreement was approved by the Company`s Board ("the Board")        
after consultation with and on the recommendation of its external      
         legal counsel;                                                         
    *    The salient terms of the agreement are:                                
         -    The Company will pay a settlement amount of R80 million to        
RBSA in full and final settlement of certain of RBSA`s            

              claims, such settlement amount to be paid in three tranches       
              as follows:                                                       
                   R30 million by 3 July 2012;                                  
R30 million by 31 July 2013; and                             

                   R20 million by 30 January 2014;                              
         -    The Company will abandon its counter claims against RBSA          
              (which includes receivables reflected in its books as due by      
RBSA, in the amount of R37 million), and RBSA will likewise       

              abandon the remainder of its claims.                              
    *    As such, the settlement is a full and final settlement of the          
         arbitration proceedings and all and any claims between the Company     
and RBSA;                                                              
    *    The amount to be paid represents compensation by the Company to        
         RBSA for the higher cost to RBSA of procuring alternative supplies     
         of the products the Company would otherwise have supplied to it,       
had its manufacturing facility not temporarily closed for the          
         reasons above, and whilst it underwent a necessary upgrade to          
         international manufacturing requirements and standards.                
The Company has sought specialist accounting advice on the appropriate          
accounting treatment of the above settlement.  Such advice is that:             
    *    Notwithstanding that evidence as to the actual potential extent of     
         the liability only came to light after 31 December 2011 and the        
         finalisation of the provisional financial statements  for the          
period ending 31 December 2011 ("Provisional Financial                 
         Statements"), the underlying potential liability to RBSA was in        
         existence at 31 December 2011;                                         
    *    The Board had not, as at the date of approval of the settlement        
agreement, approved the integrated annual report, including the        
         group annual financial statements ("Integrated Report"), for the       
         period ending 31 December 2011;                                        
    *    The appropriate and correct accounting treatment for the               
settlement is to:                                                      
         -    Account for the settlement in the accounting period ending 31     
              December 2011; and                                                
         -    Restate the Provisional Financial Statements for the period       
ending 31 December 2011, which were released by the Company       

              on SENS on 15 March 2012.                                         
Shareholders are advised that the Company expects earnings per share ("EPS")    
and headline earnings per share ("HEPS") for the year ended 31 December 2011    
to be between 20% and 25% lower than the EPS of 80.8 cents and HEPS of 80.8     
cents as disclosed in the Provisional Financial Statements.                     
The above information has not been reviewed or reported on by Cipla Medpro`s    
auditors and the Company will accordingly, on or about 29 June 2012, issue      
revised Provisional Financial Statements for the period ending 31 December      
2011. The Company`s draft Integrated Report will be revised to reflect the      
above changes as a matter of urgency.  These changes will cause the             
finalisation and issue of the Integrated Report to be delayed and the           
Company will use its best endeavours to issue it within the six month period    
ending 30 June 2012 as required by the JSE Limited Listings Requirements.       
Further to the renewal of the cautionary announcement dated 20 June 2012,       
shareholders are advised that discussions continue which, if successfully       
concluded, may have a material effect on the price of the Company`s             
securities. Accordingly, shareholders are advised to continue exercising        
caution when dealing in the Company`s securities until a further                
announcement is made.
