GENERAL ISSUE OF SHARES FOR CASH (“Cash Issue”) & NOTIFICATION IN
TERMS OF SECTION 122 OF THE COMPANIES ACT 71 OF 2008 (“the Act”)

CASH ISSUE

1.   Introduction

     1.1   Shareholders are advised that, in terms of a general 
           authority to issue shares for cash granted to the
           directors of the Company at the annual general meeting
           held on Thursday, 28 June 2012, the Company has issued
           390 000 000 (three hundred and ninety million) ordinary 
           shares for cash, representing 25.70% of the issued ordinary
           share capital of the Company net of treasury shares, at an
           issue price of 1.97 cents per ordinary share (“Issue Price”)
           to Pop Up Trading 39 Proprietary Limited (“Pop Up Trading”)
           being a public shareholder as defined in the Listings Requirements 
           of the JSE Limited (“Listings Requirements”). Pop Up Trading is
           a party related to Mr. Tony Pinfold (“Mr. Pinfold”) who is a
           current shareholder of the Company.

     1.2   The Issue Price reflects:

     1.2.1   a discount of 7% (seven Percent) for Nutritional Holdings’
             ordinary shares on the JSE for the 30 (thirty) trading days
             prior to 13 February 2013 being the date on which the
             negotiations regarding the Cash Issue were entered into; and

     1.2.2   a premium of approximately 7% (seven Percent) for Nutritional
             Holdings’ ordinary shares on the JSE for the 30 (thirty)
             trading days prior to 25 February 2013 being the date on
             which the board of directors of the Company resolved to issue
             the shares.

     1.3   The total consideration to be paid by Pop Up Trading to
           the Company for the shares issued is R7 700 000 (seven
           million seven hundred thousand rand).

     1.4   The funds raised by the Company pursuant to the Cash
           Issue for Cash will be applied towards working capital
           and expansion of operations.

2.   Pro Forma Financial Effects of the Cash Issue

     2.1   The unaudited pro forma financial effects of the Cash Issue,
           for which the directors of the Company are responsible, are
           provided for illustrative purposes only to show the effect
           thereof on basic profit and headline loss per share as if
           the Cash Issue had taken effect on 31 August 2012 and on net
           asset value and net tangible asset value per share as if the
           Cash Issue had taken effect on 31 August 2012. Due to their
           nature, the pro forma financial effects may not give a fair
           presentation of the Group`s financial position and performance. 
           The unaudited pro forma financial effects have been compiled from
           the unaudited condensed consolidated interim results for the six 
           months ended 31 August 2012 and are presented in a manner consistent
           with the format and accounting policies adopted by Nutritional 
           Holdings and have been adjusted as described in the notes below:

    Notes:

    1. The “Unaudited Before the Cash Issue” column information
       has been extracted from Nutritional Holdings’ unaudited
       condensed consolidated interim results for the six months
       ended 31 August 2012.

    2. The once-off effects relating to basic loss and headline
       loss per share are based on the following assumptions and
       information:
       2.1    the Cash Issue will be effective 28 February 2013;
       2.2    R7 700 000 was received in terms of the 390 000
              000 shares issued;
       2.3    no adjustments have been made to reflect any
              benefit (income or interest earned/saved) to be
              derived from the proceeds of the Cash Issue, in
              terms of the "Guide on Pro Forma Financial Information" 
              issued by the South African Institute of Chartered
              Accountants dated September 2005.

    3. The  effects relating to the Statement of Financial
       Position are based on the following assumptions and
       information:
       3.1   the Cash Issue will be effective 28 February 2013; and
       3.2   the actual number of shares in issue (net of treasury
             shares) will increase by 390 000 000 as a result of the
             Cash Issue.

    4. The  weighted average number of shares in issue has not
       changed because they were issued on the last day of the
       reporting period.


NOTIFICATION IN TERMS OF SECTION 122

As a result of the Cash Issue and in accordance with section 122 (3)(b)
of the Companies Act and section 3.83(b) of the Listings Requirements,
shareholders are hereby advised that the Company has received formal
notification in the prescribed form that Pop Up Trading has acquired
a 25.70% interest in securities in the Company such that the total
interest in the securities of the Company held by Pop Up Trading 
(including Mr. Pinfold’s 6.71% shareholding in the Company) has 
increased to 25.79% of the total issued share capital of the Company
net of the treasury shares.
