South African Constitutional Court issues further directions for SASSA tender process
Johannesburg, February 18, 2015 – Net 1 UEPS Technologies, Inc. (NasdaqGS: UEPS; JSE: NT1)
today provided a further update on the SASSA tender process.
Further to the directions provided by the South African Constitutional Court (“Court”) as described
in the Company's press releases dated February 6 and 11, 2015, SASSA advised the Court on
February 13, 2015, that it was not in a position to file an amended draft Request for Proposal
(“RFP”) with the Court by February 13, 2015, and asked the Court to grant SASSA the following
order:
1. SASSA is afforded an extension until May 15, 2015, to file an amended draft RFP pursuant
to the further objections raised by Cash Paymaster Services (Pty) Ltd (“CPS”) (a subsidiary
of the Company).
2. SASSA is required to circulate the proposed amended RFP to all the affected parties by
May 15, 2015.
3. The deadline for the submission of bids is extended to June 15, 2015.
4. Any further and other relief that the Court considers just and equitable.
On February 17, 2015, AllPay (a respondent in the current Court proceedings) gave formal notice to
the Court that it intends to oppose the application brought by SASSA on February 13, 2015,
(described above) and awaits the Court’s directions in this regard.
The Court issued the following directions today:
1. AllPay and CPS are invited, if they are so inclined, to file affidavits by Friday, February 20,
2015, in response to SASSA’s application for an extension to file an amended draft RFP.
2. Further directions may be issued.
