Specific Repurchase of 358 280 MICROmega Shares MICROmega HOLDINGS LIMITED Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa (Registration number: 1998/003821/06) Share code: MMG ISIN: ZAE000034435 (“MICROmega” or “the Company” or “the Group”) SPECIFIC REPURCHASE OF 358 280 MICROmega SHARES 1. BACKGROUND TO AND RATIONALE FOR THE SPECIFIC REPURCHASE On 10 June 2014 MICROmega, through a nominee, entered into a sale of members interest agreement (“Acquisition Agreement”) with Mr Leon Smith and Mrs Vanesia Smith (“the Sellers”) for the acquisition of their collective 50% members interest in and any claims they might have against Mubesko Africa Proprietary Limited (“Mubesko”), prior to its conversion from a closed corporation to a company. In terms of the Acquisition Agreement, the Sellers were, inter alia, issued 358 280 MICROmega ordinary shares (“Option Shares”) and granted a put option thereon, whereby in the event that the MICROmega share price on 30 November 2015 was less than the average closing price of MICROmega shares for the 30 day period preceding 8 July 2015 (“Option Price”), being the date of publication of the audited financial statements of Mubesko for the 12 month period ended 31 May 2015 (“Publication Period”), the Sellers had the right but not the obligation to sell the Option Shares to the Company at the Option Price (“Specific Repurchase”). Accordingly, given that the MICROmega share price on 30 November 2015 of R14.40 was less than the Option Price of R18.84 and the Sellers exercised the Put Option on 25 February 2016, the Specific Repurchase is required in order to effect the exercise of the Put Option. 2.

Accordingly, in terms of paragraph 5.69(b) of the Listings Requirements, the Sellers (who collectively hold 366 076 MICROmega shares), and their associates will be excluded from voting on the Specific Repurchase. The presence of the Sellers will however, form part of the quorum at the general meeting. 3.
