Share incentive schemes and dealing in securities by directors

Datatec Limited 
 (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)                                   
(Registration number: 1994/005004/06)                                            
ISIN: ZAE000017745

Share incentive schemes and dealing in securities by directors 
 
Datatec Limited (“Datatec” or the "Company", JSE and LSE: DTC), announces the following in relation to the Share 
Appreciation Rights Scheme 2005 (“SAR Scheme”), the Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") and the Deferred Bonus Plan 
("DBP").  These share incentive schemes are subject to the rules originally approved by shareholders at the Company’s 
annual general meeting held on 16 August 2005 and subsequently amended and approved by shareholders at the 
annual general meeting held on 14 September 2011. 
 
1) SAR Scheme and LTIP – May 2012 grants ? outcome 
 
The Share Appreciation Rights (“SARs”) and LTIP awards granted in May 2012 have not vested following an evaluation 
of the Company’s performance against prescribed conditions in accordance with the rules of the SAR Scheme and 
LTIP.  Accordingly, the SARs and LTIP awards granted in May 2012 have lapsed. 
 
2) DBP – May 2012 grants – settlement of matching shares 
 
In relation to the May 2012 grants under the DBP, 84,855 Datatec shares have been transferred to participants in 
accordance with the rules of the DBP. 
 
Under the terms of the DBP, participants may purchase Datatec shares ("pledged shares") and hold them for three 
years ( “performance period”) after which time the Company will issue or transfer shares ("matching shares”) to the 
participants, subject to performance conditions being fulfilled.  
 
Two participants, who are both directors of Datatec, purchased pledged shares in May 2012 and remained in the 
employment of the Company during the performance period, during which period the corresponding performance 
conditions were fulfilled. Consequently, they are entitled to receive matching shares amounting to 50% of the number 
of pledged shares purchased plus additional shares in lieu of the dividends notionally accruing to the matching shares 
during the three year performance period.  Full details of the transfer of matching shares are disclosed below, in 
compliance with the JSE Limited ("JSE") Listings Requirements, and the AIM Rules:
