RIGHTS OFFER FINALISATION ANNOUNCEMENT

1.   Introduction

     Texton shareholders (“Shareholders”) are referred to the declaration announcement released on the Stock
     Exchange News Service (“SENS”) on Wednesday, 2 September 2015 relating to a partially underwritten rights
     offer to Shareholders recorded in the register of Shareholders on the rights offer record date, being Friday, 18
     September 2015 (“Rights Offer Record Date”), to raise an aggregate amount of up to R986 million (“Rights
     Offer”).

     Texton is pleased to announce that the terms of the Rights Offer have now been finalised and all the conditions
     precedents relating to the Rights Offer as set out in the declaration announcement have been fulfilled.

2.   Terms of the Rights Offer

     The Rights Offer will consist of the issue of 100 000 000 new Texton shares (“Rights Offer Shares”) in the ratio
     of 36.22312 for every 100 Texton shares held on the Rights Offer Record Date (“Rights Offer Entitlement”), at
     an issue price of R9.86 per Rights Offer Share.

     The Rights Offer Shares will rank pari passu in every respect with the presently issued ordinary shares in Texton
     and therefore the issue price of R9.86 per Rights Offer Share includes entitlement to receive the dividend declared
     for the second six months ended 30 June 2015 of 50.09 cents per share.

     Shareholders are advised that certain Shareholders have elected to irrevocably subscribe for 36 239 574 Rights
     Offers Shares in terms of the Rights Offer Entitlement, representing 36.2% of the aggregate Rights Offer Shares.

     In addition, Luna Group Proprietary Limited, an investment and trading group which has over 39 years of
     investment experience and forms part of Dr. Christo Wiese’s larger group of companies, has irrevocably
     undertaken to subscribe for up to 41 940 878 of the Rights Offer Shares which are not taken up by Texton
     Shareholders recorded in the register of Shareholders on the Rights Offer Record Date (“Excess Rights Offer
     Shares”).

3.   Actions required by Shareholders

     Certificated Shareholders:

     If you are a certificated Shareholder and wish to subscribe for all or part of your Rights Offer Shares to which you
     are entitled, you must complete the form of instruction in accordance with the instructions contained therein and
     lodge it, together with the amount due in the lawful currency of South Africa, being the South African Rand, with
     Computershare Investor Services Proprietary Limited (“Transfer Secretary”), so as to be received by the Transfer
     Secretary by no later than 12:00 on Friday, 2 October 2015.

     Once received by the Transfer Secretary, the acceptance is irrevocable and may not be withdrawn. If payment
     for the Rights Offer Shares is not received in full on or before 12:00 on Friday, 2 October 2015, the Shareholder
     will be deemed to have declined the offer to acquire Rights Offer Shares pursuant to the Rights Offer.
        Dematerialised Shareholders:

        If you are a dematerialised Shareholder, you will not receive a form of instruction. You should receive notification
        from your CSDP or broker regarding your Rights Offer Shares to which you are entitled. If you wish to subscribe
        for all or part of your Rights Offer Shares to which you are entitled, you are required to notify your duly appointed
        CSDP or broker of your acceptance of your Rights Offer Shares in the manner and time allotted in the custody
        agreement governing the relationship between yourself and your CSDP or Broker.
