NOTIFICATION IN TERMS OF SECTION 45(5) OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2008 (“THE ACT”)


Notice is hereby given that, in terms of the provisions of section 45(5) of the Act and pursuant to the special
resolution passed at the annual general meeting of the company held on 11 April 2013, authorising the
company to provide direct or indirect financial assistance to related or inter-related parties, the board of
directors (“the board”) has resolved in terms of section 45(2) of the Act to authorise Austro to provide
financial assistance to persons and entities who are related to Austro (which includes certain of its
subsidiaries), which financial assistance exceeds one tenth of one percent of the company’s net worth.

Austro’s bankers provide credit facilities at a group level to facilitate trade within the group. Financial
assistance takes place when cross-sureties are provided by Austro and those of its operating subsidiaries to
secure these facilities.

In accordance with section 45 of the Act, the board is satisfied and acknowledges that:

   (i)    immediately after providing such financial assistance, Austro would satisfy the solvency and
          liquidity test as provided for in section 4 of the Act, and

   (ii)   the terms under which such financial assistance is to be given are fair and reasonable to Austro.
