WITHDRAWAL OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT 
AND NOTICE OF ADJOURNED ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING



WITHDRAWAL OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT

Shareholders are referred to the cautionary announcement dated 9 May 2013 and the subsequent
renewal of cautionary announcement dated 21 June 2013, and are hereby advised that the investigation
into the fraudulent acts perpetrated by senior members of management in a non-core segment of the
Group, which has now been discontinued, have been concluded.

The Group has determined that the net effect of the adjustments required to account for the fraud is a
decrease in earnings per share for the financial year ended 31 December 2012 of 2.4 cents (2011:
decrease of 2.5 cents) and a decrease in the net asset value per share at 31 December 2012 of 4.9 cents
(2011: decrease of 2.5 cents). As the adjustments are not material to the Group’s results on either a line
by line or an overall basis, the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012 will not be
reissued. These minor adjustments will be incorporated into the results for the financial year ended
31 December 2013, as well as in the interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2013.

Preventative measures have been implemented to avoid a recurrence of the fraudulent acts and the
appropriate disciplinary action has been taken against those involved, including the appropriate action to
recover the loss.

Accordingly, as the investigations into the fraudulent acts have been concluded and the financial effects
thereof have been determined, caution is no longer required to be exercised when dealing in the
Company’s securities.
