ACQUISITION OF JACKSON AND BUFFELSHOEK


INTRODUCTION

Shareholders are advised that OneLogix, through its wholly owned subsidiary OneLogix Proprietary Limited
(“OneLogix (Pty) Ltd”), has concluded an agreement to acquire four specialised logistics companies (known as
“Jackson and Buffeslshoek”) from Jackson Group Proprietary Limited (“Jackson Group”) and Jacques du Randt
(“Du Randt”) (collectively “the sellers”) as further described below.

OneLogix (Pty) Ltd has concluded an agreement with the Jackson Group to acquire:

-   74% of the entire issued share capital of Jackson Transport Proprietary Limited (“Jackson Transport”) and
    100% of all amounts owing by Jackson Transport to the Jackson Group;
-   74% of the entire issued share capital of Jackson Fleet Proprietary Limited (“Jackson Fleet”) and 100% of all
    amounts owing by Jackson Fleet to the Jackson Group;
-   74% of the entire issued share capital of Buffelshoek Transport SA Proprietary Limited (“Buffelshoek
    Transport”) and 100% of all amounts owing by Buffelshoek Transport to the Jackson Group (Jackson
    Transport and Jackson Fleet are together referred to as “Jackson”); and

OneLogix (Pty) Ltd has concluded an agreement with Du Randt to acquire 74% of the entire issued share capital of
Buffelshoek Fleet Proprietary Limited (“Buffelshoek Fleet”) and 100% of all amounts owing by the Buffelshoek
Fleet to Du Randt and/or the Jackson Group, (Buffelshoek Transport and Buffelshoek Fleet are together referred to
as “Buffelshoek”),

collectively “the transactions”.

RATIONALE FOR THE TRANSACTIONS

Jackson and Buffelshoek are leading logistics operators within the refrigerated fresh produce, industrial food and
related markets both within the South African and greater Southern African region.

The specific nature of the business together with its leading market position complements OneLogix existing
specialised logistics operations (such as vehicle, abnormal load and liquid bulk logistics) and represents the
continued and systematic progression of the group's acquisition strategy of further reducing dependence on the
auto-logistics component (Vehicle Delivery Services (“VDS”) and Commercial Vehicle Delivery Services (Pty)
Ltd (“CVDS”)) of the business. Jackson and Buffelshoek exhibit a good balance between cyclical and non-cyclical
demand and the acquisition is expected to contribute positively to the group. Du Randt, a respected entrepreneur,
will furthermore remain well vested with shareholder aligned interests of 26% in Jackson and 16% in Buffeslhoek.


TERMS OF THE TRANSACTIONS
The aggregate purchase consideration for the transactions is R110 million and will be settled through the issue of
R20 million worth of OneLogix shares at the 30 day volume-weighted-average-price on the date of signature of the
purchase agreement being an issue price of R6.14 per share and the balance of the purchase consideration through
a cash payment of R90 million.

The purchase consideration has been calculated on the basis of the consolidated net tangible asset value of Jackson
and Buffelshoek as at the effective date, being 1 March 2015, subject to a minimum amount of R37 million.
Should the net tangible asset value calculated on the effective date be less than R37 million, the purchase
consideration will be decreased by an amount equal to the difference between R37 million and the net tangible
asset value calculated on the effective date.

The purchase agreement provides for warranties and indemnities that are normal for transactions of this nature.
