1. Introduction

   Gijima Shareholders (“Shareholders”) are referred to the announcement released on the Stock
   Exchange News Services of the JSE (“SENS”) on 21 November 2014, wherein Shareholders
   were advised that Gijima has proposed a fully underwritten renounceable rights offer of 1 000 000
   000 (one billion) new ordinary shares (“Rights Offer Shares”) at a subscription price of 10 cents
   per Rights Offer Share (“the Subscription Price”), in the ratio of 503.9867 Rights Offer Shares for
   every 100 ordinary shares (“Gijima Shares”) held in Gijima at the close of business on Friday,
   5 December 2014 (“the Rights Offer”).

2. Conditions Precedent

   Shareholders are further referred to the announcement released on SENS on 14 November 2014,
   detailing the results of the general meeting and confirming, inter alia, that the special resolutions
   were passed by the requisite majority of votes.
   The special resolutions have been filed with and registered by the Companies and Intellectual
   Property Commission on 25 November 2014. All conditions precedent to the Rights Offer have
   thus been fulfilled.

3. Rights Offer Circular

   The Rights Offer circular containing full particulars of the Rights Offer and accompanying form of
   instruction for use by certificated Shareholders will be available on the Company’s website from
   1 December 2014 and posted on 2 December 2014 to certificated Shareholders recorded in the
   share register on 5 December 2014. Certificated Shareholders must complete the form of
   instruction and lodge it with the transfer secretaries indicating how they wish to participate in the
   Rights Offer.

   The Rights Offer circular containing full particulars of the Rights Offer, will be distributed on
   9 December 2014 to dematerialised Shareholders (who have elected to receive such documents)
   recorded in the share register on 5 December 2014. Dematerialised Shareholders will not receive
   a printed form of instruction, but will have their accounts updated with their Rights Offer
   entitlement by their Central Securities Depository Participant (“CSDP”) or broker. Holders of
   dematerialised Gijima Shares are required to notify their CSDP or broker of the action they wish
   to take in respect of the Rights Offer in the manner and by the time stipulated in the agreement
