   The table below sets out the unaudited pro forma financial effects of the Acquisition, on Datacentrix’s
   earnings per share, headline earnings per share, net asset value per share and tangible net asset value
   per share.

   The unaudited pro forma financial effects have been prepared to illustrate the impact of the Acquisition
   on the reported financial information of Datacentrix for the six months ended 31 August 2012, had the
   Acquisition occurred on 1 March 2012 for statement of comprehensive income purposes and on
   31 August 2012 for statement of financial position purposes. The unaudited pro forma financial effects
   have been prepared using accounting policies that comply with International Financial Reporting
   Standards and that are consistent with those applied in the annual financial statements of Datacentrix for
   the year ended 29 February 2012.

   The unaudited pro forma financial effects, which are the responsibility of the directors, are provided for
   illustrative purposes only and, because of their pro forma nature may not fairly present Datacentrix’s
   financial position, changes in equity, results of operations or cash flow.

        of Datacentrix for the six months ended 31 August 2012.
     2. The amounts in the “After the Acquisition” column reflect the financial effects of the Acquisition on

        purposes and on 31 August 2012 for statement of financial position purposes.
     3. The purchase price will be settled by way of a cash consideration of R45.75 million, funded from
        existing cash resources.
     4. The effects on basic earnings per share and headline earnings per share are calculated based on
        the assumption that the Acquisition was effected on 1 March 2012.
     5. The effects on net asset value per share and tangible net asset value per share are calculated
        based on the assumption that the Acquisition was effected on 31 August 2012.

   Further to the cautionary announcement released on SENS on 14 December 2012, shareholders are
   advised that as the pro forma financial effects of the Acquisition have been disclosed in paragraph 1
