             capital of the Company (“Ordinary Shares”) through (i) a fully marketed secondary placing; and (ii) a specific
             repurchase of Ordinary Shares by Tsogo Sun for an aggregate consideration of ZAR2.8 billion (the “Repurchase”)
             on the terms, and subject to the fulfillment and/or waiver of the conditions precedent (“Conditions Precedent”),
             set out in the Announcement and the Circular.

      2. FULFILMENT OF CONDITIONS PRECEDENT AND FINALISATION OF THE REPURCHASE

             On 5 August 2014, Shareholders were advised that all resolutions required to implement the Repurchase had

             Shareholders are hereby advised that all Conditions Precedent to the Repurchase have now been fulfilled and
             that the Repurchase has become unconditional. Tsogo Sun will accordingly on 21 August 2014 give the requisite
             written notice to SABSA to acquire the 133 584 599 Ordinary Shares (“Repurchase Shares”), that are the subject

             The Repurchase will be completed on Thursday, 28 August 2014 and an application will be made to the JSE
             Limited for the termination of the listing of the Repurchase Shares, which is expected to occur on or about
