GENERAL ISSUE OF SHARES FOR CASH

1. Introduction

   At the annual general meeting of shareholders held on 24 July 2012, the requisite majority of shareholders
   approved an ordinary resolution authorising the directors to issue up to 50% of Company's issued share
   capital for cash in accordance with the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited (“JSE”).

   On 15 October 2012, Sherbourne issued 110 000 000 ordinary shares at 3.332 cents per share resulting in
   net proceeds received of R3 654 200. (“the general issue”). The general issue was implemented at the 30
   day weighted average traded price of Sherbourne shares for the 30 business days preceding 9 October
   2012, being the date that the price of the issue was agreed. The JSE approved the issue of the shares on
   12 October 2012.

2. Rationale for the general issue

   The general issue of shares for cash was implemented to raise capital for identified acquisitions and future
   acquisitions.

3. Financial effects of the issue

   The table below sets out the unaudited pro forma financial effects of the issue on the loss, headline loss,
   net asset value and net tangible asset value per share. The pro forma financial effects have been
   calculated on Sherbourne’ results for the six months ended 30 June 2012. The unaudited pro forma
   financial effects are provided for illustrative purposes only and because of their nature they may not give a
