POSTING OF CIRCULAR RELATING TO SCRIP DISTRIBUTION OR CASH DIVIDEND ELECTION

Shareholders are referred to the Company’s audited financial results for the year ended 31 December 2014,
published on the Stock Exchange News Service on 3 March 2015 (“Results Announcement”), in which they
were advised that Mpact’s board of directors had resolved to declare a final distribution of fully-paid Mpact
ordinary shares of no par value (“Scrip Distribution”) to ordinary Shareholders (“Shareholders”) recorded in
the register of the Company at the close of business on the Record Date, being Friday, 17 April 2015.

Shareholders will, however, be entitled to elect to receive a cash dividend of 66 cents per ordinary share of
one cent each held on the Record Date, being Friday, 17 April 2015, in respect of all or part of their ordinary
shareholding, instead of the Scrip Distribution (“Cash Dividend”).

The Cash Dividend will be paid only to those:

       -   certificated Shareholders whose Forms of Election to receive the Capitalisation Shares, in respect of
           all or part of their shareholding, are received by the Transfer Secretaries on or before 12h00 midday
           on Friday, 17 April 2015; and
       -   dematerialised Shareholders who have instructed their CSDP or broker accordingly and in the
           manner and time stipulated in their agreement with such CSDP or broker.

The number of Scrip Distribution shares to which each of the Shareholders will become entitled pursuant to
the Scrip Distribution (to the extent that such Shareholders have not elected to receive the Cash Dividend)
will be determined by reference to such Shareholder’s ordinary shareholding in Mpact (at the close of
business on the Record Date, being Friday, 17 April 2015) in relation to the ratio that 66 cents bears to the
volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of an ordinary Mpact share traded on the JSE during the 10-day
trading period ending on Tuesday, 31 March 2015.

Shareholders are advised that a circular, setting out, inter alia, the terms of the Scrip Distribution and Cash
Dividend (and including a Form of Election) will be posted to Shareholders today, Monday, 23 March 2015
(“the Circular”).

The salient dates for the proposed Scrip Distribution and Cash Dividend, also contained in the Circular, are
as follows:
