Divisional update Eqstra Holdings Limited (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Registration number 1998/011672/06) ISIN: ZAE000117123 Share code: EQS ("Eqstra" or "the Company") DIVISIONAL UPDATE The Contract Mining and Plant Rental division of Eqstra ("MCC") has been awarded a significant new contract with Sedibelo Platinum Mines. The five year contract commences in April 2016 with a value of R4 billion (four billion Rand). The project will utilise an initial R150 million worth of standing equipment. Justin Colling, MCC CEO said: "This is a significant win for us given the current environment facing the commodity sector and the pressure this has placed on mining firms. I believe our unique approach to shaping our contracts to our clients' needs and partnering with them during these demanding times allows us to deliver the best possible results." The contract increases MCC's order book to approximately R15 billion (fifteen billion Rand). This also reduces the division’s excess assets to less than 10% of its total asset base. CEO of Eqstra, Jannie Serfontein added: "I would like to thank the Sedibelo team for entrusting us with this contract and Justin and his team for this valuable win. This affirms our 2020 strategy of becoming more flexible in our service offering and reducing and deploying assets efficiently."
