TRADING STATEMENT

Shareholders are advised that SPAR experienced a challenging trading period for the
17 weeks ended 26 January 2013, with turnover at R15,8 billion growing 10,7% on a
comparative basis against the prior year. This performance continues to reflect
positive volume growth and moderate levels of food inflation. High fuel costs
continue to have some impact on the group’s profitability.

The group’s financial results for the six months ending 31 March 2013 will be
released on SENS on or about the 15th May 2013.
