Shareholders are referred to the announcement released on the Stock Exchange News Service (“SENS”) on 7
July 2014 by Tsogo Sun (the “Transaction Announcement”) regarding the proposed disposal by SABMiller plc
(“SABMiller”) of up to its entire 435 247 904 ordinary shares in the share capital of Tsogo Sun (“Ordinary
Shares”), through two conditional transactions, namely:

    1. a fully marketed secondary placing to selected South African and international investors (the
       “Placing”), and
    2. a specific repurchase by Tsogo Sun of Ordinary Shares for an aggregate consideration of ZAR2.8 billion
       on terms and subject to the fulfilment and/or waiver of the conditions precedent in the repurchase
       agreement entered into between SABMiller and Tsogo Sun.

As described in the Transaction Announcement, the board of directors of Tsogo Sun is recommending that
Tsogo Sun shareholders vote in favour of a resolution authorising the provision of a loan facility of ZAR200
million (the “Executive Loan Facility”) to select members of the Company’s executive management (the
“Executives Participants”), to facilitate their acquisition of Ordinary Shares.

In accordance with paragraphs 3.63 to 3.66 of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, shareholders of Tsogo
Sun are informed that Messrs MN von Aulock, J Booysen, RB Huddy, FV Dlamini, and GD Tyrrell have agreed to
acquire Ordinary Shares from SABMiller at the price determined in the Placing (“Placing Price”), subject to a
maximum Placing Price of R26.40 per Ordinary Share and accordingly each entered into separate share
purchase agreements with SABSA Holdings Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of SABMiller, (the “Share
Purchase Agreements”) on 14 July 2014. The Placing Price and the exact number of shares to be acquired by
the Executive Participants will be determined on or about 18 July 2014 and will be announced on SENS. The
Share Purchase Agreements are conditional upon inter alia the requisite shareholder approval regarding the
Executive Loan Facility being received.

Clearance to deal has been obtained from the Chairman of the Company in respect of each of the Share
Purchase Agreements.
