POSTING OF CIRCULAR RELATING TO SCRIP DISTRIBUTION OR CASH DIVIDEND ELECTION

Shareholders are referred to the Company’s unaudited interim financial results for the six months ended 30
June 2016, published on the Stock Exchange News Service (“SENS”) on 11 August 2016, in which they
were advised that Mpact’s board of directors had resolved to declare an interim distribution of fully-paid
Mpact ordinary shares of no par value (“the Scrip Distribution”) to ordinary Shareholders (“Shareholders”)
recorded in the register of the Company at the close of business on the Record Date, being Friday, 9

Shareholders will, however, be entitled to elect to receive a cash dividend of 30 cents per ordinary share of
no par value held on the Record Date, being Friday, 9 September 2016, in respect of all or part of their
ordinary shareholding, instead of the Scrip Distribution (“the Cash Dividend”).

Dividend (and including a Form of Election) will be posted to shareholders today, Monday, 15 August 2016
(“the Circular”). The Circular is also available on the Company’s website, www.mpact.co.za.
