until details of these acquisitions are published, shareholders are advised to continue to
exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company. The above funds, or a
portion thereof, will be applied towards the above strategic acquisitions and will be
invested in cash and other low-risk alternatives until such time as they are applied to
discharge any purchase consideration due for the acquisition/s.

In addition to the information required in terms of paragraph 11.22 of the JSE Listings
