Shareholders are hereby advised of the final terms of the aforementioned transactions.

All terms defined in the Terms Announcement and Further Announcement shall bear the same meaning in this

1.  THE SECTOR TRANSFER

1.1   On 15 December 2014 the JSE approved ConvergeNet’s application for the transfer of the Company’s listing
      from the “Computer Services” sub-sector to the “Investment Companies” sub-sector of the JSE.
1.2   The Manco has irrevocably agreed to acquire issued ordinary shares in the Company from ASOF (26 285 489
      shares for a total consideration of R52 570 978, constituting 9.29% of the total ordinary issued shares of
      the Company) and Citygate Securities Limited (2 500 000 shares for a total consideration of R5 000 000
      constituting 0.88% of the total ordinary issued shares of the Company) at a purchase consideration of R2.00
      per share with effect from 30 January 2015, subject to the Transactions being approved by the requisite
      majorities of shareholders at the general meeting, as referred in paragraph 9 below.         Following the
      conclusion of the aforementioned acquisition, the Manco will hold 10.17% of the issued ordinary shares of
      the Company. Shareholders are advised that the listing of Stellar Capital Partners Limited (as referred in
      paragraph 5 below) (“Stellar Capital Partners”) pursuant to the Transactions is dependent on (i) the Manco
      holding at least 10% in the issued ordinary share capital of Stellar Capital Partners and (ii) the
      appointment of a full time CFO and CEO by no later than 31 January 2015.


 2.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

      As stated in the Terms Announcement and the Further Announcement, the MRI Acquisition and the Goliath
      Gold Acquisition are regarded as Category 1 transactions in terms of the Listings Requirements.       In
      addition, ASOF is a related party of ConvergeNet as defined in the Listings Requirements. Accordingly,
      the proposed acquisitions by ConvergeNet of 29.78% of MRI and 4.99% of Goliath Gold from ASOF are
      categorised as related party transactions and require fairness opinions by an independent expert (the
      “Independent Expert”). The Board appointed BDO Corporate Finance Proprietary as the Independent Expert
      to determine whether the terms and conditions of the aforementioned acquisitions are fair to
      shareholders.   The Independent Expert has considered the terms and conditions of the aforementioned
      acquisitions, and is of the opinion that such terms and conditions are fair to shareholders on the basis
      set out in their fairness opinions included in the circular referred to in paragraph 9 below.


 3.   EXTENSION OF DATES FOR FULFILMENT OF CONDITIONS PRECEDENTS

      Shareholders are advised that the dates for the fulfilment of the conditions precedent to (i) the
      Disposals, Tellumat Acquisition and Private Placement and (ii) the Digicore Acquisition, MRI Acquisition
      and Goliath Gold Acquisition have been extended to 28 February 2015 and 31 March 2015, respectively.

          Following the Board’s proposal to change the Company’s name to “CQ Capital Partners Limited”, as referred
          in the Terms Announcement, the Board has subsequently resolved to propose that the Company changes its name
          to “Stellar Capital Partners Limited”.      ConvergeNet has reserved the name “Stellar Capital Partners
          Limited” with the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission in accordance with section 12 of the
          Companies Act.


 6.       UPDATED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL EFFECTS

6.1       The table below sets out the updated pro forma financial effects of the Transactions on ConvergeNet.

6.2       The pro forma consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the twelve month period ended 31 August
          2014 and pro forma consolidated statement of financial position at 31 August 2014 have been prepared for
          illustrative purposes only, based on current information available to management, in order to provide
          information about the financial results and position of the Company. Due to its nature, the pro forma
          financial information may not fairly present the Company’s financial position, changes in equity and
          results of operations or cash flows after the Transactions, and are based on the assumptions that:

           -    for the purpose of calculating earnings per share and headline earnings per share, the Transactions were
                implemented on 1 September 2013; and
           -    for the purpose of calculating net asset value per share and net tangible asset value per share, the
                Transactions were implemented on 31 August 2014.

6.3 The pro forma financial information has been prepared using the most recent financial period of the Company
    for the twelve month period ended 31 August 2014 in terms of the Listings Requirements and guidelines
    issued by the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants.

6.4 The accounting policies of ConvergeNet have been used in calculating the pro forma financial effects. Save
    for the accounting policy noted below, the accounting policies used are consistent with previous accounting
    policies used by ConvergeNet and the accounting policies have been applied on the same basis.

    Accounting policy with respect to Investments in Associates:

    In accordance with par 18 of IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures”, the Company does not
    account for its investment in associates in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method.
    Instead, the Company has elected to measure its investments in these entities at fair value through profit
    and loss.

    Refer note 1 below for the rationale for adoption of the aforementioned accounting policy.

Notes and assumptions:

1.     The amounts set out in the “Before” column have been extracted from the reviewed interim results of the
       Company for the twelve months ended 31 August 2014, as published on SENS on 4 December 2014.

Investments in Associates:

IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures par 18 provides that “When an investment in an associate or
a joint venture is held by, or is held indirectly through, an entity that is a venture capital organisation, or
a mutual fund, unit trust and similar entities including investment-linked insurance funds, the entity may
elect to measure investments in those associates and joint ventures at fair value through profit or loss in
accordance with IFRS 9 or where the Company has not yet adopted IFRS 9, in terms of IAS 39 [our addition]”.

As IAS 28 does not provide guidance on which entities qualify as “similar entities” to venture capital
organisations, the Company took guidance from a previous version of IAS 28 wherein it was stated in par BC 12
that –

   “The [International Accounting Standards] Board decided not to define further those ‘venture capital
    organisations and similar entities’ excluded from the scope of the Standard. Apart from recognising the
    difficulties of arriving at a universally applicable definition, the Board did not want inadvertently to
    make it difficult for entities to measure investments at fair value. However, the Board decided to clarify
    that the reference to ‘similar entities’ in the scope exclusion includes investment-linked insurance funds.”

The board of directors of the Company have additionally considered the key characteristics of a venture capital
organization and are satisfied that:

-   Investments will be held by the Company for short-to medium term.      The directors do not interpret this
    requirement to mean that the Company should speculate in securities to comply with this requirement as it
    has been clearly stipulated in paragraph 3.8 of the Circular that the Company will only acquire of dispose
    of its investments in accordance with a long-term capital appreciation strategy. The Company, however, does
    not intend on holding any of the investments indefinitely which view is supported by its investment strategy
    to apply a flexible investment approach relating to the timing and duration of investments;
-   The most appropriate point for exit is actively monitored. The Company will actively engage with investee
    companies in relation to their corporate activity and other strategic initiatives.     It is this inorganic
    growth strategy which will differentiate the Company from other trading companies. The board of directors
    will actively monitor the performance of all investments and as such elect to exit investments, by way of
    implementation of corporate finance strategies, on optimal pricing terms, whether those are attained in the
    short or medium term; and
-   The investments form part of a portfolio, which will be monitored and managed without distinguishing between
    investments that qualify as associates or joint ventures and those that do not.

The directors are comfortable that IAS 28 does not preclude the Company from accounting for investments in
associates and joint ventures at fair value through profit and loss, as the board of directors of the Company
is also satisfied that that the Company will measure and evaluate the performance of substantially all of its
investments on a fair value basis following completion of the Transactions.

The Company will provide investors with fair value information in each set of annual and interim financial
results and will measure substantially all of its investments at fair value in its financial statements
whenever fair value is required or permitted in accordance with IFRSs as summarised above.         Further, the
Company will also report fair value information internally to the entity’s key management personnel (as defined
in IAS 24), the board of directors, who will use such fair value as the primary measurement attribute to
evaluate the performance of substantially all of its investments and to make investment decisions.      This is
evident from the fair valuation of the investment portfolio which will be conducted on a quarterly basis.

The investments in Tellumat (Associate), MRI (Associate), Goliath Gold (Associate) and Digicore (Investment
designated as at fair value through profit and loss as the Company will not have significant influence over
this investment), as described in notes 2 to 5 below, have therefore been accounted for at fair value in
accordance with IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (“IAS 39”) par 14 as follows:

2.  The Contract Kitting Disposal and SCS Disposal for a total purchase consideration of R95.119 million and R5
    million, respectively, settled by way of the issue of new shares in Tellumat such that after the Contract
    Kitting Disposal and SCS Disposal the Company holds 30% of the issued ordinary shares of Tellumat.      The
    investment in Tellumat has been accounted for at fair value of R100.119 million in terms of IAS 39 par 14.
    This implies a valuation of R333.73 million for the combined entity incorporating Tellumat’s existing
    business, Contract Kitting and SCS. Transaction costs of R 3 300 000 have been expensed in the statement of
    comprehensive income.
3.  The acquisition of an additional 30.32% of the issued ordinary shares of MRI by way of issuing 12 636 332
    new shares in the Company. The investment in MRI has been accounted for fair value of R25.273 million in
    terms of IAS 39 par 14. This implies a valuation of R0.10 per MRI share. Transaction costs of R300 000
    have been expensed in the statement of comprehensive income.
4.  The acquisition of an additional 21.77% of the issued ordinary shares of Goliath Gold by way of issuing 32
    084 871 new shares in the Company. The investment in Goliath Gold has been accounted for at fair value of
    R64.17 million in terms of IAS 39 par 14. This implies a valuation of R2.00 per Goliath Gold share.
    Transaction costs of R800 000 have been expensed in the statement of comprehensive income.
5.  The acquisition of 19.26% of the issued ordinary shares of Digicore by way of issuing 59 615 963 new shares
    in the Company.   The investment in Digicore has been accounted for at fair value of R119.23 million in
    terms of IAS 39 par 14. This implies a valuation of R2.50 per Digicore share. Transaction costs of R1 600
    000 have been expensed in the statement of comprehensive income.
6.  The issue of 75 000 000 new shares in the Company at R2.00 per share in respect of the Private Placement.
    Interest revenue of R7 674 000 has been accounted for in the statement of comprehensive income at an
    interest rate of 5% per annum, which represents the return currently earned by the Company on its call
    account with First National Bank. Cash will be utilized to acquire further investments and also deployed
    towards working capital requirements.
7.  The issue of 1 385 000 new shares in the Company to settle underwriting fees in the amount of R2 770 000.
    This cost has been accounted for as a deduction from equity, net of any related income tax benefit in terms
    of IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation par 35.
8.  The issue of 1 140 000 new shares in the Company at R2.00 per share to settle private placement commitment
    fees of R2 280 000. This cost has been accounted for as a deduction from equity, net of any related income
    tax benefit in terms of IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation par 35.
9.  It has been assumed that the Transactions were implemented on 31 August 2014 for purposes of compiling the
    statement of financial position and on 1 September 2013 for purposes of compiling the statement of
    comprehensive income.
10. Anticipated tax consequences in relation to the Transactions have been taken into account.
11. All adjustments, other than transaction costs described above, will have a continuing effect.
