      (“Afrimat” or “the Company”)



     REVISED OFFER TO INFRASORS HOLDINGS LIMITED MINORITY SHAREHOLDERS



1.   REVISED OFFER (“Revised Offer”)

     Shareholders are referred to the announcement released on SENS on 5 March 2013 (“Initial Offer”) and
     the unconditional mandatory offer circular posted on 22 April 2013 which stated that the unconditional
     mandatory offer to Infrasors Holdings Limited (“Infrasors”) minority shareholders was expected to close at
     12:00 on Friday 7 June 2013. Afrimat has decided (with the prior approval of the Takeover Regulation
     Panel) to extend the Initial Offer’s closing date with the Revised Offer’s closing date being 12:00 on
     Friday, 5 July 2013.



     Afrimat has also decided to increase the offer consideration for the Infrasors shares from 35 cents per
     share to 65 cents per share, which is at a premium to the current JSE price of the Infrasors shares, in
     order to encourage minority shareholders to accept the Revised Offer. The reason for this approach is to
     simplify the incorporation of Infrasors into the Afrimat stable.



     Infrasors shareholders who accepted the Initial Offer, prior to the increase in the offer consideration will
     be paid the increased offer consideration reflected in this Revised Offer. Infrasors shareholders who have
     accepted the Initial Offer should note the amended salient dates for payment of the offer consideration
     detailed in paragraph 5 below.


2.   FUNDING OF THE REVISED OFFER CONSIDERATION

     Afrimat has confirmed to Infrasors that sufficient cash resources are available for the payment of the offer
     consideration in terms of the Initial Offer and the Revised Offer, and, as required in terms of the
     Companies Act and the Companies Regulations, 2011, The Standard Bank South Africa Limited has
     provided the necessary guarantees to the TRP to satisfy the full offer consideration payable in terms of
     the Initial Offer and the Revised Offer.
3.   INFRASORS INDEPENDENT BOARD

     The Infrasors Independent Board will consider the terms of the Revised Offer consideration within the
     required period and will in due course announce to shareholders its views thereon together with other
