REPORT ON PROCEEDINGS AT ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING (“AGM”), DIRECTOR APPOINTMENT
AND INVESTOR DAY

Shareholders are advised that all ordinary and special resolutions as
proposed at the Company’s AGM held on Friday, 22 November 2013, were duly
passed by the requisite majority of votes.

The board is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr LL Von Zeuner as
independent non-executive director, effective 22 November 2013. Mr LL Von
Zeuner retired as deputy group chief executive of Absa Group earlier in 2012
following 32 years of service. Mr Von Zeuner is a non-executive director of
Telkom, Edcon, Afgri Limited and CSA where he serves on several board
committees. He also serves on sport and organised committee bodies. He holds
a Bachelor of Commerce degree in Economics from the University of
Stellenbosch and has completed several international training programmes.

The Board reported that the Contract Mining and Plant Rental division has
made good progress in improving overall contract management effectiveness.
The division however traded under difficult circumstances as certain sites
were impacted by three weeks industrial action as part of SAFCEC’s two year
national wage negotiations. The industrial action reduced operating profit by
approximately R135 million. The Fleet Management and Logistic division
recovered well following the termination of loss making activities. The
Industrial Equipment division reported subdued sales in a SA market that
decreased by 21% year-on-year. However the annuity nature of the business,
strong aftermarket sales and the business diversification continue to
underpin results.

INVESTOR DAY

Eqstra will host an Investor Day Friday 29 November 2013, at which the
Company’s executive team will give a comprehensive overview of the strategy
and operations of the Company to analysts, fund managers and investors at 61
Maple Street, Pomona, Kempton Park. The consolidated presentation will be
available on the Company’s website at www.eqstra.co.za from 8:00 on Friday 29
November 2013.
