ONELOGIX GROUP LIMITED
(Registration number 1998/004519/06)
Share code: OLG ISIN: ZAE000026399
(“OneLogix”)

ACQUISITION AND WITHDRAWAL OF CAUTIONARY

INTRODUCTION

Shareholders are advised that OneLogix (Proprietary) Limited ("OneLogix") a wholly owned subsidiary of OLG, has
concluded an agreement (“the agreement”) for the acquisition of 40% of the entire issued share capital of Drive Report
(Proprietary) Limited (the “company” or “Drive Report”) from Louis Benjamin Swart (the “seller”) (“the transaction”).

OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY

Drive Report uses data from video and caller reports to create a focused risk profile of a driver, enabling fleet operators to
establish an accountable and structured solution to driver management.

Drive Report is a unique system which links South Africa’s vast national network of cell phone users to a dedicated 24/7
call centre, allowing them to report any untoward or unsafe driving practices of fleet vehicles marked with the highly
visible Drive Report sticker, displaying the now famous 0860 555 999 number.

All reported incidents are logged by Drive Report and processed through its powerful driver-profiling software, giving
fleet managers detailed intelligence on every driver in the fleet.

With real-time response to on-road incidents using SMS and e-mail messaging to key management personnel, Drive
Report gives fleet operators the power to pro-actively reduce incidents of dangerous driving and vehicle abuse while
transmitting a strong message of social responsibility to other road users.

RATIONALE

Drive Report is a business in the high growth phase of its life cycle. Road safety and cost optimisation are currently key
drivers in tjhe logistics and transport related industries. Two of Onelogix’s existing businesses namely Atlas Panelbeaters
(commercial vehicle panelbeater) and QSA (transport financial software) will complement Drive Report as they operate in
similar markets.

SALIENT TERMS OF THE TRANSACTION

OneLogix has agreed to purchase shares comprising 40% of the entire issued share capital of the company (“Drive
Report equity”) with effect from 10 December 2012 (“effective date”) for a purchase price of R20 million in cash.

At the effective date, a significant tender for the provision of a vehicle driver camera monitoring solution (“tender”) is
pending. Should the tender be awarded to Drive Report, the consideration payable by Onelogix for the transaction will be
increased by R9 million payable in cash within five business days from the date of the agreement (“tender contract
date”) entered into between Drive Report and the issuer of the tender.

The agreement contains warranties and indemnities that are typical for acquisitions of this nature.

There are no conditions precedent to the transaction.

THE CALL OPTION

The seller has granted OneLogix a call option (“call option”) in terms of which Onelogix will be entitled to purchase 9%
of the issued share capital (“call option shares”) of Drive Report from the seller after the expiry of 36 months from the
effective date.
In the event that Onelogix exercises its call option, a third party shall have a first right of refusal to acquire the call option
shares. If the third party exercises its first right of refusal, the call option will lapse. If the third party does not exercise its
right of first refusal, the call option shares will be sold to Onelogix in terms of the call option.

The purchase price for the call option shares payable by Onelogix will be R4 500 000 in cash, unless the tender referred to
above is awarded to the company in which event such purchase price will be R6 525 000.
