Barloworld finalises disposal of its Australian motor retail operations for R1.3 billion

Barloworld is pleased to announce that it has sold the remainder of its successful Australian motor
retail interests to a company owned by Nick Politis, a respected Australian automotive businessman.
The transaction is effective 31 March 2014 and follows the sale of the Ferntree Gully dealership
which was concluded on 31 October 2013.

These transactions were concluded at net asset value plus a premium for goodwill and realised
combined net proceeds (after settling outstanding debt) of approximately AUD130 million (R1.3
billion). The cash will be used to reduce Barloworld group net debt in the short term and to fund
strategic growth opportunities in the medium term.

The disposal is below JSE thresholds and this announcement is for information purposes only.
