Brait wishes to advise shareholders that a circular, including a
notice of Extraordinary General Meeting (a''EGMa''), has been
distributed together with the annual financial statements today, 3
July 2012 (a''Approval Circulara''). The purpose of the Approval
Circular is to furnish shareholders with information relating to the proposed resolutions and to convene the EGM.
Brait intends entering into a new capital raising programme in
order to make capital available for investment purposes without
causing dilution to the ordinary shareholders. The capital raising
will be in the form of listed Preference Shares, to be issued over
a period of 18 (eighteen) months for a maximum number of 20 000
000 (twenty million) Preference Shares. The detailed terms and conditions are set out in the Approval Circular.
1. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF
ASSOCIATION (a''ARTICLESa'') OF THE COMPANY, AUTHORITY TO ISSUE
PREFERENCE SHARES AND WAIVER OF PRE-EMPTION RIGHTS
Shareholders are advised that the Company intends increasing
its authorised share capital by way of the creation of 20 000
000 (twenty million) cumulative, non-participating Preference
Shares with a nominal value of Euro 0.01 each (a''Preference Sharesa'').
Accordingly, it is proposed that the Companya''s Articles be
amended to reflect the new authorised share capital and to
record the rights, obligations and privileges attached to the Preference Shares.
In conjunction with the proposed creation of the Preference
Shares, it is proposed, that shareholders provide the requisite
authority, subject to certain conditions, to issue and list on
the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the stock exchange operated
by the JSE up to 20 000 000 (twenty million) Preference Shares
over a period of up to 18 (eighteen) months from the date of
publication of the prospectus to be issued in terms of the
offer for subscription of the Preference Shares by way of a private placement.

disapplication of pre-emption rights by way of a separate
resolution insofar as these rights relate to the Preference Shares. 2. NOTICE OF EGM
