Protection for Whistle-Blowers

Altron stakeholders are referred to Section 159 of the Companies Act No. 71 of 2008, as amended (“the
Act”), which requires the company to, inter alia, establish and maintain a system to allow them to make
disclosures contemplated in terms of this section of the Act and the Protected Disclosures Act No. 26 of
2000, as amended, confidentially and to act on them, as well as routinely publicise the availability of this
system to its stakeholders.

Altron recognises that unethical behaviour in the workplace, which often goes undetected and
unreported, presents an ever-increasing problem which may result in substantial financial losses to the
organisation.

The company is committed to the principles of honesty, integrity and accountability in all its dealings,
which ultimately protects the name and reputation of Altron.

In collaboration with Deloitte Tip-offs Anonymous, an independent service provider, Altron has
established a confidential fraud and ethics whistle-blowing hotline for all its stakeholders to report any
unethical behaviour anonymously.

Accordingly, Altron wishes to extend this service to all its stakeholders and encourages them to make
use of this facility as and when necessary.

How will it work

-     Altron has been allocated a unique FreeCall telephone number – 0800 20 53 52.

      Written submissions may also be reported through the following channels:

      -     FreeFax: 0800 00 77 88
      -     FreePost: Tip-offs Anonymous, FreePost KZN 138, Umhlanga Rocks, 4320
      -     Email: tim@tip-offs.com
      -     Website: www.tip-offs.com

-     The whistle-blowing hotline operates 24 hours a day and trained operators will respond to calls in
      all the official languages, by guiding you through specific questions.

-     Callers may choose to reveal their identity to Tip-offs Anonymous, which will assist with further
      investigations. However, this information will not be revealed, unless they choose to reveal it to
      the company.

 -    Information gathered will be analysed and reported to a designated senior official in the company
      who will confidentially investigate the matter.
