     Shareholders of GPI are referred to the detailed terms announcement released on SENS on
     Tuesday, 13 May 2014 (“the Announcement”) relating to the proposed divestment of shareholdings
     in Sunwest International Proprietary Limited (“Sunwest”) and Worcester Casino Proprietary Limited
     (“Worcester”) (“SunWest and Worcester Transaction”), the proposed divestment of an effective
     5.6% shareholding in Afrisun KZN Proprietary Limited, trading as the Sibaya Casino and
     Entertainment Kingdom (“Sibaya Transaction”) and the proposed divestment of a material
     shareholding in GPI Slots Proprietary Limited (“GPI Slots Transaction”) (collectively referred to as
     “the Transactions”).

     In accordance with the Announcement, the outstanding pro forma financial effects of the
     Transactions are disclosed below.

2.   PRO FORMA FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE TRANSACTIONS

     The consolidated pro forma financial effects of the Transactions, as set out below, are the
     responsibility of the directors. The consolidated pro forma financial effects are presented in a manner
     consistent with the basis on which the historical financial information has been prepared and in terms
     of the Company’s accounting policies. The pro forma financial effects have been presented for
     illustrative purposes only and, because of their nature, may not give a fair reflection of the
     Company’s financial position post the implementation of the Transactions.

     The table below sets out the pro forma financial effects of the adjustments on the Company, based
     on the interim financial results for the six months ended 31 December 2013 and on the assumption
     that, for calculating the net asset value per GPI share and net tangible asset value per GPI share,
     the adjustments were effected on 31 December 2013. In respect of the earnings per GPI share and
     headline earnings per GPI share it is assumed that the adjustments were effected on 1 July 2013.
