Taste awarded best corporate reporting and communications by IAS TASTE HOLDINGS LIMITED Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa (Registration number 2000/002239/06) Share code: TAS ISIN: ZAE000081162 (“Taste” or “the Company”) TASTE AWARDED BEST CORPORATE REPORTING AND COMMUNICATIONS BY IAS At an awards function held last night, Taste was awarded the Best Corporate Reporting and Communications Award in the Retail Services Sector by the Investment Analysts Society of SA (“IAS”) for the 2013 year. Taste is a South African-based management group that owns or licensees a portfolio of mostly franchised, category specialist and formula-driven, quick-service restaurant and retail brands. This year has seen Taste’s recent signing of an exclusive master franchise agreement with Domino’s Pizza and the acquisition of the 15-year-old Zebro’s Chicken brand. Taste’s CEO, Carlo Gonzaga, has also received the Award for Excellence in Franchising by the Franchise Association of South Africa (“FASA”). “Being inducted into the FASA Hall of Fame is indeed an honour. This is not just an award for myself, but I believe that it should go to Taste, our franchisees, support staff, our loyal customer base and everyone who has played such an integral part of making this Company the success it is,” explains Gonzaga. The IAS award is the latest in a long list of awards for the Company and there is little doubt that 2014 still has many exciting things in store for Taste. “Past winners of this category have been Mr Price, Bidvest and Tongaat Hulletts, so we are in good company,” explains Gonzaga "I am positive for the year ahead and I am looking forward to the future successes of our dedicated teams," concludes Gonzaga.
