Ratio applicable to the scrip dividend Datatec Limited (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Registration number: 1994/005004/06) ISIN: ZAE000017745 Share Code: DTC ("Datatec” or “the Company”) RATIO APPLICABLE TO THE SCRIP DISTRIBUTION Shareholders are referred to the Company’s unaudited interim results for the six months ended 31 August 2015, published on the Stock Exchange News Service (“SENS”) on 21 October 2015 in which it declared an interim Scrip Distribution with a Cash Dividend alternative. A circular setting out the terms of the Scrip Distribution and Cash Dividend alternative, including a Form of Election, (“the Circular”) was posted to shareholders on 5 November 2015 as announced on SENS on the same date. In addition, the Circular is available on the Company’s website, www.datatec.com or www.datatec.co.za. Shareholders are advised that the number of Scrip Distribution shares to which each Shareholder will become entitled pursuant to the Scrip Distribution (to the extent that such Shareholder has not elected to receive the Cash Dividend) will be determined by reference to such Shareholder’s ordinary shareholding in Datatec (at the close of business on the Record Date) in relation to the ratio that 105 ZAR cents bears to 5964 ZAR cents, representing the volume weighted average price of an ordinary Datatec share traded on the JSE during the 30-day trading period ending on Thursday, 12 November 2015. The ratio of Scrip Distribution shares to which each Shareholder will become entitled pursuant to the Scrip Distribution (to the extent that such Shareholder has not elected to receive the Cash Dividend) is therefore 1.76056 Scrip Distribution shares for every 100 ordinary shares held on the Record Date: 100 x 105 ZAR cents 5964 ZAR cents = 1.76056 If the application of this ratio gives rise to a fraction of an ordinary share, no fractional entitlement shall arise and the result of such calculation will be rounded up to the nearest whole number where the fraction is greater than or equal to 0.5 and rounded down to the nearest whole number where the fraction is less than 0.5 (the “Rounding Provision”). Example of Scrip Distribution entitlement: This example assumes that a Shareholder holds 1000 ordinary shares at the close of business on the Record Date and does not elect to receive the Cash Dividend in respect of all or part of their shareholding. New ordinary share entitlement = 1000 x 1.76056% = 17.6056 new shares (then apply the Rounding Provision described above) = 18 Scrip Distribution shares in respect of the 1000 ordinary shares held.
