ACQUISITION OF SHAREHOLDING IN RSA TANKERS TRADING AS UNITED BULK

INTRODUCTION

Shareholders are advised that OneLogix (Proprietary) Limited ("OneLogix") a wholly owned subsidiary of OLG, has
concluded agreements for the acquisition of 60% of the entire issued share capital of RSA Tankers (Proprietary)
Limited t/a United Bulk (the “Company” or “United Bulk”) from Tanker Solutions (Proprietary) Limited (the
“Seller”) and all of the Seller’s claims, including claims on loan account against the Company (“the transaction”).

United Bulk is one of the leading specialised bulk liquid transporters and describes itself as South Africa’s premier
tanker operator, being specialists in the bulk liquid road transportation of hazardous materials and liquid petroleum gas
as well as food grade road transportation, including milk and wine throughout Southern Africa.

The business of the Company complements OLG’s existing specialised logistics operations, being vehicle logistics
and abnormal loads logistics, and is largely non-cyclical as it operates in and across many industries. The transaction
is expected to be earnings-enhancing and the Seller will remain well vested with shareholder aligned interests of 40%.

SALIENT TERMS OF THE TRANSACTION

OneLogix has agreed to purchase shares comprising 60% of the entire issued share capital of the Company and all
claims which the Seller has against the Company (“United Bulk equity”) with effect from 1 December 2012
(“effective date”) for a purchase price of R55 million. The purchase price is subject to downward adjustment should
the net asset value of the Company calculated on the basis of the effective date accounts be less than R17 million.

The purchase price will be settled in cash on the closing date, being the latter of the third business day after the date on
which the last of the conditions precedent are fulfilled or waived (as the case may be) or the third business day after
the day on which the effective date accounts are delivered to OneLogix. The agreement for the acquisition of the
United Bulk equity contains warranties which are typical for acquisitions of this nature.

The Seller and a key executive of the Company have agreed to a restraint of trade in favour of OneLogix for a period
of 36 months commencing with effect from the effective date.

The transaction is subject to fulfilment (or waiver) as the case may be of the following conditions precedent by not
later than 17h00 on 31 March 2013:

1.    the shareholders and board of directors of OneLogix and the Company passing all such resolutions as may be
      required to approve and implement the transaction;

2.    executive employment agreements having been concluded with certain key executives;

3.    the shareholders agreement between Onelogix, the Seller and the Company having been entered into and
      becoming unconditional in accordance with its terms;

4.    OneLogix having procured all such approvals for the transaction as may be required by the JSE; and

5.    OneLogix having procured all such approvals for the transaction as may be required by the Takeover
      Regulation Panel and Competition Authorities.
                                                                                                                          2

Notes and assumptions:
1.    The numbers presented in the “Before the transaction” column were extracted, without adjustment, from the
      audited financial statements of OLG for the year ended 31 May 2012.
2.    The transaction is assumed to be effective from 1 June 2011 for statement of comprehensive income purposes
      and on 31 May 2012 for statement of financial position purposes.
3.    The amounts set out in the “Pro forma after the transaction” column were calculated by consolidating the
      audited financial statements of OLG for the year ended 31 May 2012 and the audited financial statements of
      United Bulk for the year ended 30 September 2012, subject to the assumptions and adjustments set out below.
4.    The “Pro forma after the transaction” column has been based on the following statement of comprehensive
      income assumptions:
      a.    The purchase price of R55 million will be settled in cash.
      b.    Amortisation of intangible assets of R1.8 million (net of deferred taxation) was recognised.
      c.    Finance income of R3.3 million is assumed not to be earned as a result of using R55 million of cash to
            fund the transaction.
      d.    Finance costs of R3.5 million will be eliminated on consolidation of the shareholder’s loan.
      e.    A profit on sale of property, plant and equipment of approximately R222 000 (net of taxation) was
            deducted from basic earnings for purposes of the headline earnings calculation.
      f.    An impairment of plant and equipment of approximately R35 000 (net of taxation) was added back to
            basic earnings for purposes of the headline earnings calculation.
      g.    Estimated transaction costs of R0.4 million were expensed in accordance with IFRS 3 (Business
            Combinations).
      h.    A non-controlling interest in respect of 40% of the net profit of United Bulk for the year ended 30
            September 2012 was recognised on consolidation.
      i.    With the exception of the recognition of transaction costs, all adjustments have a continuing effect.
                                                                                                                        3
5.    The “Pro forma after the transaction” column has been based on the following statement of financial position
      assumptions:
      a.   The purchase price of R55 million will be settled in cash.
      b.   OneLogix recognised a fair value adjustment on plant and equipment of R14.4 million (net of deferred
           taxation).
      c.   An amount of R12.8 million was recognised as goodwill and an amount of R12.8 million was recognised
           as identifiable intangible assets. Deferred taxation of R3.6 million has been recognised in respect of the
           excess which is attributable to being an intangible asset. The allocation between goodwill and identifiable
           intangible assets as a result of the excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the net tangible
           assets acquired will be finalised in terms of IFRS 3 (Business Combinations) in the first reporting period
           subsequent to the transaction.
      d.   A non-controlling interest in respect of 40% of the equity of United Bulk as at 30 September 2012 was
           recognised on consolidation.
      e.   Estimated transaction costs of R0.4 million were accrued and expensed in accordance with IFRS 3
           (Business Combinations).
