Update regarding the issuing of the integrated annual report of the group for the year ended 31 August 2013 CONVERGENET HOLDINGS LIMITED Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa (Registration number 1998/015580/06) Share code: CVN ISIN: ZAE000182440 (“ConvergeNet” or the “Company” or the “Group”) UPDATE REGARDING THE ISSUING OF THE INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GROUP FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2013 The board of directors wishes to provide shareholders with an update regarding the progress and status of completion of the integrated annual report of the Group for the year ended 31 August 2013, which is, in accordance with section 3.19 of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited (the “JSE”), due to be issued today, 28 February 2014. During the year ended 31 August 2013 and in the months immediately thereafter, the Company announced and implemented a significant restructuring of the Group which included, inter alia, the sale of various subsidiaries, including but not limited to Sizwe Africa IT Group Proprietary Limited, Telesto Communications Proprietary Limited and X-DSL Networking Solutions Proprietary Limited as well as the closure of the Company’s head office (the “Restructure”), as detailed in the circular to shareholders dated 20 September 2013. Further to the Restructure, the Company’s previous auditors, namely Advoca Inc., were replaced by PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. (“PwC”) with effect from 2 January 2013. The Company continues to work with PwC to ensure compliance with the additional disclosure matters required by International Financial Reporting Standards in the preparation of the integrated annual report as they relate to the Restructure. Notwithstanding the challenges experienced in the process which are attributable to the short time lapse between the announcement of the Restructure and the financial year-end of the Group, the Company was able to issue its reviewed condensed consolidated annual financial statements on 13 December 2013. The Company wishes to inform shareholders that it will not be in a position to issue its integrated annual report on 28 February 2014. However, the Group remains confident that the outstanding disclosure matters will be resolved by no later than 31 March 2014, and a further announcement in this regard will be made in due course. The Group maintains its commitment to meeting the high standards of compliance set by JSE and other regulatory bodies in the protection of stakeholder interests.
