Further Trading Statement

Mpact Limited
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)
(Registration number 2004/025229/06)
JSE share code: MPT ISIN: ZAE000156501
(“Mpact” or “the Company”)

FURTHER TRADING STATEMENT

Shareholders are referred to the trading statement released on SENS on 24 January 2013 advising
that Mpact expected its earnings per share (“EPS”) and headline earnings per shares (“HEPS”) for the
year ended 31 December 2012 to exceed the previous corresponding period by more than 20%.

In the same announcement, the Company undertook to issue a further trading statement once there
was further clarity on the specific range of the improvement in EPS and HEPS.

Accordingly, shareholders are advised that Mpact expects EPS, HEPS and underlying EPS for the year
ended 31 December 2012 to be within the ranges shown below:

        EPS (cents)                                       185 to 192       (2011: 54.9)

        HEPS (cents)                                      184 to 191       (2011: 54.3)

        Underlying EPS (cents)                            188 to 195       (2011: 102.9)

The increase in EPS over the comparable prior period is due to lower finance costs, as a result of net
debt having been substantially reduced as part of the capital restructuring prior to listing in July 2011
as well as improved trading performance.

It is anticipated that Mpact will release its results for the year ended 31 December 2012 on SENS on
or about 7 March 2013.

Shareholders are advised that the financial information on which this trading statement is based has
not been reviewed and reported on by the Company’s external auditors.
