Net1 Announces Dismissal of Class Action Lawsuit by U.S. District Court

Johannesburg, September 18, 2015 – Net1 (NasdaqGS: UEPS; JSE: NT1) today announced
that the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York has dismissed the
purported securities class action litigation originally filed on December 24, 2013, against
Net1, its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer.

“We are pleased with the Court’s decision and believe that its opinion confirms our assertion
that this case was without any merit,” said Dr. Serge C.P. Belamant, Net1’s Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer.

The Court’s order allows the plaintiff to file a further amended complaint on or before
October 16, 2015, failing which the action may be dismissed with prejudice.
