ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING A GENERAL ISSUE OF SHARES FOR CASH

1.    Introduction

      SacOil has issued 2,777,777 new ordinary shares of no par value in the share capital of the
      Company (“SacOil Shares”) at an issue price of R0.27 per ordinary share (“the Issue Shares”),
      thereby raising a total cash amount of R750,000 (“the Cash Issue”).

2.    Details regarding the Cash Issue

      The Issue Shares were issued to a “public shareholder” and not to a “related party” as defined in
      the JSE Limited Listings Requirements.

      The Issue Shares have been issued at a 4.6% discount to the 30-day volume weighted average
      price of SacOil Shares as traded on the exchange operated by the JSE Limited (“the JSE”) for
      the 30 business days immediately prior to the suspension of trading of the SacOil Shares on the
      JSE and AIM Market (“AIM”) of the London Stock Exchange (“LSE”) on 31 May 2013.

      The Cash Issue has been implemented in terms of the general authority granted to SacOil’s
      directors to issue shares for cash, which was approved by SacOil shareholders at the
      Company’s general meeting held on 30 May 2013, and in compliance with the limitations related
      thereto. The Issue Shares rank pari passu with the existing SacOil Shares in issue.

3.    Application of proceeds of the Cash Issue

      The proceeds of the Cash Issue will be utilised to fund the Company’s working capital
      requirements.

4.    Financial effects of the Cash Issue

      Based on SacOil's annual financial results for the year ended 28 February 2013, the unaudited
      pro forma financial effects (“Financial Effects”) of the Cash Issue on SacOil's loss per share
      (“LPS”), headline loss per share (“HLPS”), net asset value per share (“NAV”) and net tangible
      asset value (“NTAV”) are set out below.

      The Financial Effects are prepared for illustrative purposes only, and because of their nature,
      may not give a fair presentation of SacOil's financial position or the effect and impact of the
      Cash Issue. The Financial Effects are the responsibility of SacOil's board of directors.
