CHANGES TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS – NEW APPOINTMENTS

GROUP CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

The board of directors of Astrapak (“the Board”) is pleased to
announce that, after a comprehensive search process, Robin Moore
has been appointed as Group Chief Executive Officer with effect
from 5 November 2012.

Robin has extensive leadership experience in both rigid and
flexible plastic packaging manufacturing. Since 1985, Robin has
been employed by Nampak Limited (“Nampak”) in various senior
capacities. In Robin’s early years at Nampak he was involved in
the Liquid Packaging and Tufbag operations before transferring to
the United Kingdom to manage BlowMocan - Nampak’s original UK
acquisition in 1995. Between 1995 and 2002, and more particularly
following Nampak’s acquisition of Plysu PLC, Robin managed the
Liquid Plastics Division and established it as the leading
producer of Plastic Milk Bottles in the UK. This culminated in
Robin being appointed as Managing Director of Nampak Plastics
Europe Limited until he elected to return to South Africa in 2004.
Since then, in his role as Managing Director of the Nampak
Flexible Cluster, he has been heavily involved in restructuring
its various operations.

Robin’s significant flexible plastic manufacturing experience will
be of great value to Astrapak in rectifying the underperformance
in recent years from the Astrapak Flexible Division.

Robin holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of
Cape Town and is a member of the Institute of Packaging.

GROUP MANAGING DIRECTOR

The Board is, in addition, pleased to announce the appointment of
Manley Diedloff as Group Managing Director reporting to the Group
Chief Executive Officer, also effective 5 November 2012. Manley
will assume day to day responsibility for various Astrapak
operations under the guidance and leadership of Robin.

Manley was previously the Group Chief Financial Officer and
assumed the role of Acting Chief Executive Officer on 1 June 2012.
The Board wishes to express its gratitude for Manley’s service as
Acting Chief Executive Officer and for the significant progress
made on various strategic initiatives whilst it completed its
search for a permanent Chief Executive Officer.
ACTING CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER

Gene Lapan will continue to serve as acting Group Chief Financial
Officer under the guidance of Manley Diedloff whilst the board
completes its review of this position.

The board is delighted with the appointments of Robin and Manley
and wishes both of them the best of success in their new roles
within the Astrapak Group.
