Cautionary announcement Eqstra Holdings Limited (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Registration number 1998/011672/06) Share code: EQS ISIN: ZAE000117123 (“the Company” or “Eqstra” or “the Group”) CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT The Benga Coal Mining Contract (“Contract”) that operated in Mozambique for the past five years as part of Eqstra Mozambique Limitada, a wholly owned subsidiary of Eqstra, concluded on 31 December 2015. Eqstra shareholders are advised that Eqstra Mozambique Limitada has signed a memorandum of intent with Minas de Benga Limitada (“the client”), for the disposal of all plant and equipment assets (“the proposed sale assets”) used in the provision of mining services under the terms of the Contract to the client. The intention to enter into these negotiations was previously discussed at the September 2015 annual results presentation of Eqstra. The proposed sale of the assets is in line with Eqstra’s stated strategy to reduce its exposure to the mining industry. The proceeds of the proposed sale assets would enhance the Group’s cash liquidity position. The proposed sale of assets in terms of this Contract is material to Eqstra and, if successfully concluded, the proposed sale will constitute a Category 1 transaction for the Company in terms of the JSE Limited Listing Requirements, requiring, inter alia, Eqstra shareholder approval. Upon signature of the proposed sale agreement a further detailed announcement will be published. Shareholders are therefore advised to exercise caution when dealing in Eqstra securities until a further announcement is made.
