Results of Annual General Meeting (AGM)

Merafe is pleased to advise its shareholders that all the ordinary and special
resolutions proposed in the Notice of the AGM (“Notice”) tabled at the Company’s
AGM held on Friday, 8 May 2015 were passed by the requisite majority of votes cast
by shareholders, with the exception of Ordinary Resolution number 4. Subsequent to
the posting of the Notice, Mr Brian Harvey tendered his resignation from the Merafe
board on 28 April 2015. Ordinary Resolution number 4 was accordingly withdrawn.

Shareholders are further advised of the developments regarding Special Resolution
numbers 1.1 to 1.8 - Approval of fees payable to non-executive directors. The AGM
notice outlined the proposed fees for the financial year ending 31 December 2015,
which were arrived at following the consultation with independent experts regarding
an appropriate fee structure.

The Board of Merafe has resolved to limit the fee increases to 5,5% on average
(excluding the Audit and Risk Committee which has no fee increase), due to concerns
which have been raised by certain shareholders. Accordingly the actual fees paid
will be limited to this level of increase, notwithstanding that approval for the
proposed fee structure as set out in the AGM notice may have been given as per the
votes cast by shareholders.
