Remgro Limited launches an offer of bonds exchangeable into Mediclinic
International plc shares

Remgro Limited (“Remgro”) today announces an offering of GBP 300 million in aggregate principal
amount of senior, secured, guaranteed bonds due 2021 (the “Bonds”) exchangeable into ordinary
shares (the “Shares”) of Mediclinic International plc, which may be increased by up to GBP 50 million
at the option of Remgro before pricing (the “Offering”). The Bonds will be issued through a subsidiary
of Remgro, Remgro Jersey GBP Limited, (the “Issuer”) and will be offered via an accelerated
bookbuilding to institutional investors.

The Issuer's obligations under the Bonds will be unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by
Remgro and will constitute direct and unconditional obligations of the Issuer and will be secured, as
described in the Terms and Conditions of the Bonds (the “Conditions”).

The Bonds will be marketed with a coupon of 2.125 - 2.625% per annum payable semi-annually in
arrears. The initial exchange price of the Bonds is expected to be at a premium of between 30% and
35% above the Reference Share Price (as defined below). The coupon, initial exchange price and the
exchange premium for the Bonds will be determined following the accelerated bookbuilding, which is
expected to take place today, 15 March 2016 (the “Pricing Date”).

The reference share price represents the volume weighted average price of the Shares on the London
Stock Exchange between launch and pricing of the Offering (the “Reference Share Price”).

The Bonds will be issued at 100% of their principal amount and, unless previously redeemed,
exchanged or purchased and cancelled, will be redeemed at 100% of their principal amount on the
maturity date of the Bonds.

Upon exchange of the Bonds, the Issuer will have the discretionary right to deliver an amount in cash,
instead of the Shares, as described in the Conditions. Upon redemption of the Bonds, the Issuer will
have the option to deliver a combination of Shares and cash, as described in the Conditions.

Settlement is expected to take place on or about 22 March 2016 (the “Closing Date”) and it is intended
that an application will be made for the Bonds to be included for trading on the Open market
(Freiverkehr) segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange within 90 days following the Closing Date.
The net proceeds from the Bonds will be used to partly refinance the loan facility provided to Remgro
in connection with the combination of Mediclinic International plc and Al Noor Hospitals Group plc.

Remgro expects to announce the final terms of the Offering upon completion of the accelerated
bookbuilding later today.

Under the terms of the Offering, Remgro will agree not to issue or sell any Shares for a lock-up period
ending 90 days following the Pricing Date, subject to customary exceptions.

Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc and Rand Merchant Bank, a division of FirstRand Bank Limited
(London Branch) are acting as Joint Global Coordinators and Joint Bookrunners on this transaction.
