Settlement of the Métier purchase consideration, issue of additional shares and notification of

1. Settlement of Métier purchase consideration and issue of additional shares
    1.1. Shareholders are referred to the circular dated 30 November 2012 and the subsequent
         announcement dated 28 February 2013 in terms of which Sephaku advised shareholders
         that it had entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares in Métier Mixed
         Concrete Proprietary Limited (“Métier Mixed Concrete”) (“the Acquisition”) from KJ Capes,
         the JTR Trust, RS Thompson and WM Witherspoon (collectively, “the Sellers”).
    1.2. The total purchase consideration in respect of the Acquisition was an amount of
         R365 million, settled as follows –
        1.2.1.   On the closing date of the Acquisition:
                 1.2.1.1.   an initial cash payment of R110 million;
                 1.2.1.2.   the issue of 5 million Sephaku shares at an issue price of R6 per Sephaku
                            share, amounting to R30 million (“First Tranche Consideration Shares”);
                            and
                 1.2.1.3.   the issue of 11.1 million Sephaku shares at an issue price of R9 per
                            Sephaku share, amounting to R100 million (“Second Tranche
                            Consideration Shares”).
        1.2.2.   On 1 December 2014:
                 1.2.2.1.   a final cash payment of R125 million, adjusted for any uncollected debtors
                            (“Final Cash Payment”); and
                 1.2.2.2.   the issue of an additional number of Sephaku shares (“Additional
                            Consideration Shares”), but only if the Second Tranche Consideration
                            Shares multiplied by the 60-day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”)
                            of the Sephaku shares at 30 November 2014 (which is limited to a
                            maximum of R9 and a minimum of R4 per share) is less than R100 million.
    1.3. Shareholders were advised in the announcement of 28 February 2013 that the First Tranche
         Consideration Shares and the Second Tranche Consideration Shares were issued on
         28 February 2013, following fulfilment of all conditions precedent to the Acquisition.
    1.4. Shareholders are hereby advised that Sephaku yesterday settled the remaining
         consideration owing and accordingly has made the following payments:
        1.4.1.   a cash payment of R117 million (being R125 million less R8 million relating to an
                 uncollected debtor) to the Sellers in settlement of the Final Cash Payment; and
        1.4.2.   4 429 196 Additional Consideration Shares have been allotted to the Sellers at the
                 60-day VWAP of 643.488 cents (calculated as the difference between the minimum
                 required payment of R100 million and the Second Consideration Shares multiplied by
                 the 60-day VWAP of 643.488 cents).
   1.5. It is expected that the Additional Consideration Shares will be issued and listed on the JSE
        on or about Friday, 5 December 2014, following receipt of the requisite JSE approvals.
