Trading statement

ATTACQ LIMITED
(previously Atterbury Investment Holdings Limited)
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)
(Registration number 1997/000543/06)
JSE share code: ATT ISIN: ZAE000177218
(“Attacq” or the “company”)


TRADING STATEMENT


In terms of the JSE Listings Requirements, entities are required to publish a trading statement as soon as
they are satisfied that a reasonable degree of certainty exists that the financial results for the period to be
reported on next will differ by at least 20% from the most recent financial results for the previous
corresponding period.

As announced on 18 March 2014 in its interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2013, Attacq
has adopted net asset value per share as its relevant financial results measure for determining whether or not
a trading statement is required. Attacq does not consider earnings-based financial metrics to be a suitable
measure of performance in light of the company’s capital growth business model. Notwithstanding that net
asset value per share is now Attacq’s relevant financial results metric, consideration of earnings per share
and headline earnings per share is also included in this announcement given that forecast earnings per share
and forecast headline earnings per share were provided in Attacq’s prospectus issued on 14 October 2013
(“Attacq prospectus”). In the subsequent financial periods, net asset value per share will be the only
financial results measure used for determining whether or not a trading statement is required.

Accordingly, shareholders are advised that Attacq anticipates that its net asset value per share as at
30 June 2014 will be between 22% and 27% higher than for the comparative net asset value per share as at
30 June 2013. Similarly, earnings per share and headline earnings per share for the year ended 30 June 2014
are expected to be between 30% and 35% and between 290% and 310% higher respectively, than the
forecast provided in the Attacq prospectus.

The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been reviewed or reported on by
Deloitte & Touche, Attacq’s external auditors. The financial results of the company for the year ended
30 June 2014 will be published on or about 30 September 2014.
