FULFILMENT OF SCHEME CONDITIONS


Shareholders are referred to the joint announcement released on the Securities Exchange News
Service of the JSE Limited ("SENS") dated 20 September 2013 which advised shareholders that all
resolutions were passed by the requisite majority of Mvelaserve shareholders entitled to vote at the
Scheme Meeting convened on the same day to consider resolutions proposing a scheme of
arrangement between Mvelaserve and its shareholders in terms of section 114 of the Companies Act,
71 of 2008 ("Scheme").


Further to this, Mvelaserve shareholders are advised that the last 2 (two) remaining conditions to the
Scheme have been fulfilled, namely:


    -   the granting of unconditional approval of the Scheme by the Competition Tribunal, which
        unconditional approval was granted on Wednesday, 23 October 2013; and
    -   the issue of a compliance certificate by the Takeover Regulation Panel.


Therefore all conditions precedent to the Scheme, as detailed in the circular issued to Mvelaserve
shareholders on 23 August 2013 (“Circular”) have been fulfilled and accordingly the Scheme is now
unconditional. In terms of the Scheme, each Mvelaserve shareholder will receive R9.20 in cash for
every Mvelaserve share held (“Scheme Consideration”).


The expected timetable for the finalisation and implementation of the transaction will remain as
published in the Circular:
                                                                                                 2013
