POSTING OF SUMMARISED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CHANGE STATEMENT
AND NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING


Posting of Summarised Annual Financial Statements and Change Statement

Shareholders are advised that the company’s summarised annual financial statements for the year
ended 30 June 2015 were distributed to shareholders on 17 December 2015. The full integrated report is
available on the company’s website: www.beige.co.za.

The audited consolidated financial statements included in the summarised annual financial statements
and the integrated report contain a re-allocation within categories of the cash flow statement presented
in the reviewed results announcement published on SENS on 1 October 2015. The re-allocation arises
from the treatment of the clawback offer, the proceeds of which were treated as a cash flow event in
the reviewed results, but have been treated as a book entry in the audited results as the shareholder and
preference share loans were moved from borrowings to equity. The re-allocation, which is set out below,
does not affect the net cash flow of the company.

Audit Opinion
PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. the Group’s independent auditors, have expressed an unqualified, but
modified audit conclusion, containing an emphasis of matter on the condensed consolidated provisional
financial statements, as set out below:

Emphasis of Matter
“Without qualifying our conclusion, we draw attention to Note 26 to the financial statements which states
that the group incurred a net loss of R80,6m during the year ended 30 June 2015 and, as of that date, the
group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by R123,9m. This, along with other matters described
in Note 26, indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the
ability of the group and the company to continue as a going concern.”

A copy of the audit opinion is available for inspection at the company’s registered office.

The company continues to enjoy the support of its holding company, The Lion Match Company (Pty) Ltd,
which has injected a further R50 million into the company as at 30 November 2015.

Notice of Annual General Meeting

The Lion Match Company (Pty) Ltd, 20 Mahatma Gandhi Road, Point, Durban, KwaZula-Natal, 4001, to
transact business as stated in the notice of the annual general meeting. The notice and proxy of the
annual general meeting was posted to shareholders on 17 December 2015, together with the
summarised audited financial statements.
