ANNOUNCEMENT

1.   Introduction

     Shareholders are referred to the announcement released on 
     SENS as well as the circular posted to shareholders on Monday,
     25 February 2013 regarding (i) the adoption of a management
     incentive plan proposed to incentivise senior management of
     the Company and its subsidiaries, to align the interest of senior
     management with those of the shareholders of the Company and to
     ensure continuity of senior management (“the Management Incentive
     Plan”) and, (ii) the implementation of an odd-lot offer in terms 
     of which shareholders holding less than 100 ordinary shares (“Odd-lot
     Holders” and “Odd-lot Holdings”, respectively) were given the option
     to either sell their Odd-lot Holdings to TMG (or any wholly owned
     subsidiary nominated by TMG) for an offer consideration or retain
     their Odd-lot Holdings (“the Odd-lot Offer”) (“Circular”), which
     Circular included a notice of general meeting (“Notice of General
     Meeting”).

2.   Results of General Meeting

     Shareholders are referred to the Circular and the Notice of General
     Meeting included therein and are advised that, at the general meeting
     of shareholders held today (“the General Meeting”), all of the proposed
     ordinary and special resolutions pertaining to the Management Incentive
     Plan and the Odd-lot Offer, as contained in the Notice of General Meeting
     were passed by the requisite majority of shareholders present and voting
     in person or by proxy.

3.   Finalisation and determination of the Offer Consideration

3.1.   Given that shareholders have approved all resolutions pertaining to
       the Odd-lot Offer, the Odd-lot Offer is now unconditional and will

       published on SENS on 25 February 2013 and in the Circular.

3.2.   In terms of the Odd-lot Offer, Odd-lot Holders who elected to sell
       their Odd-lot Holdings to TMG (or any wholly owned subsidiary
       nominated by TMG) will receive the offer consideration determined 
       to be R15.59 (fifteen rand and fifty nine cents) being the volume
       weighted average price of ordinary shares of the Company on the JSE
       Limited for the 5 (five) trading days prior to Wednesday, 27 March 2013
       (“the Offer Consideration”).

3.3.   The Offer Consideration will be paid to Odd-lot Holders who elected 
       to sell their Odd-lot Holdings in accordance with the mechanisms set
       out in the Circular.

3.4.   The Odd-lot Offer will open for acceptance from 09:00 on Thursday,
       28 March 2013 and will close at 12:00 on Friday, 19 April 2013.

       will be released on SENS in line with the timetable contained in
       the Circular.

3.6.   All shares repurchased in terms of the Odd-lot Offer will be 
       repurchased by a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and 
       will be held as treasury shares.
