4.1.    BRIEF OVERVIEW OF PSG KONSULT

        PSG Konsult is one of the largest independent intermediary
        financial services providers in South Africa, having, as at
        28 February 2014, 193 offices throughout South Africa and
        Namibia, with 1 841 employees, of whom 618 are financial
        planners,   portfolio  managers,   stockbrokers  and  asset
        managers, plus professional associates (accountants and
        attorneys), servicing more than 150 000 clients.

        As at its most recent financial year-end on 28 February
        2014, PSG Konsult had total funds under management of
        approximately R112 billion and total funds under
        administration amounting to approximately R235 billion.

        Over the course of the previous financial year, PSG Konsult
        restructured itself into three operating divisions, namely
        PSG Wealth, PSG Asset Management and PSG Insure. By
        utilising the synergies between these divisions under a
        simplified organisational structure, PSG Konsult is able to
        offer a holistic, integrated financial solution to its
        clients.

        PSG Konsult is a subsidiary of listed PSG Group Limited and
        was incorporated on 14 July 1993.

4.2.    RATIONALE FOR LISTING

        PSG Konsult’s rationale for the Listing is:
       -   to allow PSG Konsult access to capital markets in order
           to raise equity capital in the future, when required;

       -   to provide Shareholders with a liquid, tradeable asset
           within a regulated environment, with a market-
           determined share price;

       -   to give the general public an opportunity to acquire an
           equity stake in PSG Konsult and thereby share in its
           potential success in future;

       -   to enhance PSG Konsult’s ability to implement
           acquisitions and other transactions, involving the
           issuing of Shares as consideration;

       -   to raise PSG Konsult’s profile, to reflect its position
           as a leading independent financial services group; and

       -   to incentivise employees and align their interests with
           those of Shareholders through the allocation of options
           for listed Shares.

4.3.   PSG KONSULT IS A MARKET LEADER

       PSG Konsult is a market-leading financial services
       provider. In this regard, PSG Konsult is proud of the
       following notable milestones, achievements and industry
       awards:

       - PSG Wealth received Business Day Investors Monthly’s
         “Stockbroker of the Year” award for 2011, 2012 and 2013;

       - PSG Asset Management is a market leader with top quartile
         investment returns having been recorded across the entire
         domestic flagship range of its funds, which include the
         PSG Equity, PSG Flexible and PSG Balanced Funds over six
         months, one year, three years and five years up to 28
         February 2014 in the respective Morningstar categories;

       - PSG Insure has received the Portfolio Administration
         Award for Performance Excellence at the 2013 National
         Santam Broker Awards and National Broker Award for
         Performance Excellence in Personal Lines.

4.4.   LISTING ON JSE

       The JSE has granted PSG Konsult a listing by way of
       introduction of all its issued ordinary Shares on the JSE
       main board under the abbreviated name “PSG KST”, share code
       “KST” and ISIN ZAE000191417 with effect from the
       commencement of trade on 18 June 2014. PSG Konsult will be
       listed in the “Financial Services” sector.

       Shareholders are advised that their Shares may only be
       traded on the JSE in dematerialised form. Shareholders who
       wish to trade their shares following the Listing will first
       need to dematerialise their Shares into an account held at
       a suitable service provider. This can be either one of the
       CSDPs that offers a trading service or a JSE-registered
       Broker. The process takes a few days, depending on the
       volumes of certificates to be authenticated. While such
       Shares are undergoing dematerialisation, the Shareholder
       will be unable to trade them.

       Shareholders who previously held unlisted Shares, who
       qualify to receive listed Shares, and who wish to trade
       their Shares on the JSE, should instruct their Broker or
       CSDP to liaise with Computershare Investor Services
       Proprietary Limited, the Company’s appointed transfer
       secretaries, in order to arrange for their current listed
       share certificated allocation, to be appropriately
       dematerialised and credited to their account.
       Computershare provides each such Shareholder with a
       statement of holdings, which, together with a signed
       transfer instruction form, must be surrendered to the
       Shareholder’s Broker or CSDP. The Shareholder’s Broker or
       CSDP will then need to send those documents to
       Computershare to dematerialise the Shares. Computershare
       can be contacted through their call-centre on 0861 100 634
       or at www.computershare.co.za.

       Shareholders are also referred to the Company’s letter to
       them dated 20 May 2014, containing further details on how
       Shareholders should go about dematerialising their Shares.

4.5.   SHARE CAPITAL

       As at the Listing Date, the total authorised share capital
       of PSG Konsult will comprise 3 000 000 000 ordinary no par
       value Shares.

       On the Listing Date the issued share capital of PSG Konsult
       will consist of 1 262 046 111 ordinary no par value Shares,
       while the stated capital of PSG Konsult will amount to
       R1 321 823 928. As at the Listing Date, 357 875 Shares
       will be held in treasury.

       On the Listing Date all Shares in issue shall rank pari
       passu with each other in all respects, including in respect
       of voting rights and dividends.
