LAUNCH OF THE MTO TO THE MINORITY SHAREHOLDERS OF MUTLU AKU


Shareholders of Metair (“Shareholders”) are referred to the following announcements
released on the Stock Exchange News Service on:


    -   11 December 2013 pertaining to the acquisition by the Metair Group of the Mutlu
        Sale Shares in Mutlu Aku and the remaining shares in Mutlu Plastik, a category 1
        transaction in terms of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited; and


    -   19 December 2013 pertaining to Metair’s application (acting through its subsidiary
        Metair Aku Holding A.S ("Metair Aku")), in terms of Turkish regulations, to the
        Capital Markets Board of Turkey (“CMB”) in respect of a mandatory tender offer
        (“MTO”) to the minority shareholders of Mutlu Aku (“MTO Transaction”).


The CMB has approved the MTO Transaction subject to the following conditions:


   -    The MTO price will be expressed in the Turkish Lira in an amount equal to
        USD 4.1185 per share ("MTO Price"), which will be finally determined using the
        higher of the Forex Buying rate quoted by the Central Bank of Turkey as at
        11 December 2013 and the Forex Buying rate quoted by the Central Bank of Turkey
        announced on the business day immediately before the commencement date of the
        MTO Transaction.


   -    If the launch of the MTO is delayed beyond 13 February 2014 (being 45 business
        days from the date of transfer of the Mutlu Sale Shares and the remaining shares in
        Mutlu Plastik to Metair Aku which occurred on 11 December 2013), the MTO price
        will be adjusted to include interest which will be calculated as 30% higher than the
        weekly LIBOR rate as announced by The Banks Association of Turkey, for every day
        that the launch of the MTO is delayed.

If all the shares offered under the MTO is accepted, then the total consideration payable by
Metair Aku will amount to USD 58 million.
Shareholders will be advised from time to time of developments pertaining to the MTO.
