POSTING OF CIRCULAR RELATING TO SCRIP DISTRIBUTION OR CASH DIVIDEND ELECTION

Shareholders are referred to the Company’s unaudited interim financial results for the six months ended 30
June 2015, published on the Stock Exchange News Service (“SENS”) on 12 August 2015, in which they
were advised that Mpact’s board of directors had resolved to declare an interim distribution of fully-paid
Mpact ordinary shares of no par value (“the Scrip Distribution”) to ordinary Shareholders (“Shareholders”)
recorded in the register of the Company at the close of business on the Record Date, being Friday, 4
September 2015.

Shareholders will, however, be entitled to elect to receive a cash dividend of 30 cents per ordinary share of
no par value held on the Record Date, being Friday, 4 September 2015, in respect of all or part of their
ordinary shareholding, instead of the Scrip Distribution (“the Cash Dividend”).

The Cash Dividend will be paid only to those:

-   certificated Shareholders whose Forms of Election to receive the Cash Dividend, in respect of all or part
    of their shareholding, are received by the Transfer Secretaries on or before 12h00 noon on Friday, 4
    September 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, 4 September 2015) in relation to the ratio that 30 cents bears to
the volume weighted average price of an ordinary Mpact share traded on the JSE during the 30-day trading
period ending on Thursday, 20 August 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, Friday, 14 August 2015
(“the Circular”). The Circular is also available on the Company’s website, www.mpact.co.za.

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