Logicalis appoints former Logica and BT executive as CEO

Datatec Limited, (JSE/AIM: DTC, "Datatec" or “the Group”), the international Information and
Communications Technology (ICT) group announces that it has appointed Gary Bullard as Chief
Executive of Logicalis Group, its IT solutions and managed services division, with effect from 1
March 2014. Gary will succeed Ian Cook who is retiring as CEO. Ian will become non-executive
Chairman.

Gary has substantial international experience in the IT and telecoms industry spanning more than
25 years.

In his most recent role he was UK CEO and President of Australia, Middle East and Asia for Logica
PLC, now part of CGI, Inc., the Canadian based global IT services company. Prior to this, Gary
was Managing Director of BT PLC's corporate business unit and President, BT Global Services.

Gary has also held senior executive positions in IBM including General Manager, IBM Global
Services EMEA and General Manager, IBM Global Solutions, a $12bn unit based out of New York.

Gary, who will join Logicalis in December 2013 as CEO designate, is also a non-executive director
of Rotork Plc (LSE: ROR).

Jens Montanana, Datatec's Chief Executive commented:

“I am delighted that someone of Gary’s calibre and international industry experience
is joining us to lead Logicalis which has become a significant global business with
revenues of over $1.5bn and profits in the first half of FY2014 up 45% to some $33
million.

“We look forward to working with Gary as Logicalis continues to show good organic
growth bolstered by its recent acquisitions.”

“On behalf of the Datatec Board I’d like to thank Ian for his considerable contribution
over the last ten years during which Logicalis has transformed into a significant
international brand serving over 20 countries. I am therefore very pleased that he
will continue to support the business as non-executive Chairman.”
