TRADING STATEMENT

Sun International Limited is currently finalising its results for the six months ended
31 December 2014, which are expected to be released on the Stock Exchange News
Service of the JSE Limited (“SENS”) before the end of February 2015.

In this regard, shareholders are advised that in comparison to the results of the
corresponding reporting period of the previous half year (“last year”), provided to the
market in a SENS announcement dated 24 February 2014:

   -   Earnings are likely to be between 826 to 859 cents per share, which is 155% to
       165% higher than the 324 cents of last year; and
   -   Headline earnings are likely to be 359 to 375 cents per share, which is 10% to 15%
       higher than the 326 cents of last year.

The difference between earnings per share and headlines earnings per share is largely
attributable to the profit realised from the sale of a significant portion of the group’s
shareholdings in the group’s operations located in Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia and
Zambia.

Diluted adjusted headline earnings, which the board considers the most meaningful
measure of the performance of the Company, are likely to be between 401 and 417 cents
per share, which is 20% to 25% higher than the 334 cents reported last year.

The improved performance is predominantly due to restructuring initiatives across the
group, in particular South Africa, and an improvement in Monticello casino revenue which
was up 18.2% as the property continues to recover from the smoking ban implemented in
Chile in March 2013. Profitability was negatively impacted by the results of the Ocean Sun
Casino in Panama which is in its startup phase.

Casino revenue in the group’s South African operations is up 5.4% in comparison to last
year. The Group’s EBITDA increased by 14.5% in comparison to last year.

The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been reviewed
and reported on by the Company’s external auditors.
