CHANGE IN DIRECTORATE

In compliance with paragraph 3.59 of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, the board of directors
of Pinnacle (“the Board”), wishes to advise shareholders that the Chairperson, Ms Mashile – Nkosi
has resigned as a non-executive director of the Company with effect from 27 October 2014. The
Deputy Chairman of the Board, Mr Ashley (Oshy) Tugendhaft, said: “After evaluating her board
commitments, other board positions and activities Ms D Mashile-Nkosi has reluctantly decided that
she will have to resign from the board. Having served the Group as a non-executive director and
Chairperson for more than three years, we thank her for her valued contribution to the Pinnacle
board and wish her the very best.”
We further wish to advise shareholders that Mr Tugendhaft will act as Chairman of the Company
until such time as a new Chairman has been appointed.

Further, Mr HMP Ferreira, in addition to his overall executive responsibility as Head of Distribution
for the Group, has taken on the day to day operational responsibility as CEO of Pinnacle Micro (Pty)
Ltd, a major subsidiary. As a result, he has decided to step down from the Board with effect 27
October 2014, in order to focus his energies on the successful outcome of his additional
responsibilities. The Board thank him for his ongoing contribution and commitment to the Group.
