Update in respect of completion of the Annual Financial Statements of the Company BLUE FINANCIAL SERVICES LIMITED Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa Registration Number: 1996/006595/06 JSE Code: BFS ISIN: ZAE000083655 (“Blue” or “the Company” or “the Group”) UPDATE IN RESPECT OF COMPLETION OF THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE COMPANY Shareholders are referred to the various announcement published on the Stock Exchange News Service (“SENS”) of the JSE Limited (“JSE”) between 26 June 2013 and 27 May 2015 (”May 2015 SENS”), whereby shareholders were updated on the developments at Blue. The SENS announcement released on 31 March 2015 advised shareholders that the Group will have to approach the High Court of South Africa to obtain confirmation in respect of its rights and ownership in assets previously thought to have been sold to Leonox Investments (Pty) Ltd (“Leonox”) in terms of the relevant securitisation transactions. Senior counsel has subsequently advised that the rights and ownership in the assets is clear and therefore no application to the High Court of South Africa is required. The Company is currently in the process of quantifying the effect of the re- recognition of the assets on the financial statements of the group for the various previously published and outstanding financial periods and will provide further updates on the matter in due course.
