Notes

1.   All dates and times are subject to change. Any change will be released on SENS and published in the press.
2.   Shareholders are referred to paragraphs 5.18 to 5.21 of the circular (which contain a summary of the dissenting
     shareholders’ appraisal rights) regarding rights accorded to Andulela shareholders, the exercise of which may
     affect the finalisation date and/or the implementation date.
3.   Andulela shareholders should note that as transactions in shares are settled in the electronic settlement system used
     by Strate, settlement of trades takes place five business days after such trade. Therefore persons who acquire
     Andulela shares after the voting last day to trade will not be eligible to vote at the general meeting.
4.   If a form of proxy is not received by the time and date shown above or not less than 48 hours before
     recommencement of any adjourned or postponed meeting, it may be handed to the chairman of the general
     meeting not later than ten minutes before the general meeting is due to commence or recommence.
5.   All times given in this circular are local times in South Africa.
6.   # The last date for fulfilment and/or waiver of the suspensive conditions to the disposal agreement is 31 March
     2014. The finalisation date, the implementation date as well as the date for the termination of listing of the
     consideration shares will depend upon the date of fulfilment and/or waiver of the suspensive conditions. The date
     for the fulfilment and/or waiver of the suspensive conditions may be extended by Andulela and the purchasers
     until such later date as may be agreed in writing between Andulela and the purchasers. Accordingly, the
     finalisation date, the implementation date as well as the date for the termination of listing of the consideration
     shares may be earlier or later than that indicated in the timetable above but any such change will be released on
     SENS and published in the press.
