DECLARATION ANNOUNCEMENT AND TERMS OF THE CIG FULLY-UNDERWRITTEN RENOUNCEABLE
CLAWBACK RIGHTS OFFER



1.   Introduction

     CIG shareholders (“Shareholders”) are referred to the announcement dated Thursday, 11 August 2016 relating
     to the acquisition by CIG of the entire issued share capital of Conlog Proprietary Limited (“Proposed Acquisition”),
     wherein Shareholders were advised that CIG would undertake a fully-underwritten renounceable claw-back rights
     offer of R750 million (“Rights Offer”) to part fund the purchase consideration payable in respect of the Proposed
     Acquisition.

     At the general meeting of Shareholders held on 15 September 2016 the requisite resolutions were passed, placing
     the unissued shares of the Company under the control of the board of directors of CIG (“Board”) to allow CIG to
     issue the Rights Offer Shares as set out in paragraph 2 below. All other conditions precedent of the Proposed
     Acquisition are now fulfilled and the Proposed Acquisition is now unconditional.

2.   Salient terms of the Rights Offer

     CIG proposes to raise R750 million through an offer of 38,860,102 Rights Offer shares (“Rights Offer Shares”) at
     a price of R19.30 per Rights Offer Share (“Rights Offer Issue Price”) in the ratio of 23.80682 Rights Offer Shares
     for every 100 existing shares held on the record date for the Rights Offer, being Friday, 11 November 2016.

     The Rights Offer Issue Price represents a 19.75% discount to the closing price on Thursday, 27 October 2016.

     Application will be made to the JSE for the listing of the letters of allocation and the Rights Offer Shares on the
     securities exchange of the JSE as follows:

         - letters of allocation in respect of 38,860,102 Rights Offer Shares will be listed from the commencement of
           business on Wednesday, 9 November 2016 to the close of business on Tuesday, 22 November 2016, both
           days inclusive, under the JSE code: CILN and ISIN: ZAE000227526; and

         - 38,860,102 Rights Offer Shares will be listed with effect from the commencement of business on
           Wednesday, 23 November 2016.

     The Rights Offer Shares will, upon allotment and issue, rank pari passu with all other shares of the same class.
     Excess applications will be allowed.

3.   Rationale for the Rights Offer

     As set out in the SENS announcement dated Thursday, 11 August 2016, the purchase consideration for the
     Proposed Acquisition comprises three elements:

         - R700 million, payable on the closing of the Proposed Transaction;
         - a R50 million deferred payment, payable on or about 31 March 2017; and
         - to the extent the earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation exceeds R150m a payment of
           up to a maximum of R100 million will be paid on the basis that for each additional R1 of earnings before
           interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation an amount R5 of additional purchase price will be paid on or
           about 31 March 2017.
     CIG will use the R750 million proceeds raised from the Rights Offer to settle the R700 million payment on closing
     and the R50 million deferred payment with the balance of the purchase consideration to be funded from CIG’s
     internal cash resources.

4.   Underwriting

     CIG has entered into an underwriting agreement in respect of the Rights Offer with Pinecourt Advisors Limited, up
     to a maximum value of R250 million and Investec Bank Limited, up to a maximum value of R500 million
     (“Underwriting Agreement”).

     Further details of the Underwriting Agreement will be set out in the Rights Offer circular dated Tuesday, 8
     November 2016 (“Rights Offer Circular”) expected to be distributed to certificated Shareholders on Thursday, 10
     November 2016 and to dematerialised Shareholders on Tuesday, 15 November 2016.

5.   Excess applications

     Shareholders will have the right to apply for any excess Rights Offer Shares not taken up by other Shareholders,
     subject to such rights being transferable upon renunciation of the letters of allocation, and any such excess shares
     will be attributed equitably, taking cognisance of, inter alia, the number of shares and rights held by the Shareholder
     at the time of allocation, including those taken up as a result of the Rights Offer, and the number of excess rights
     applied for by such Shareholder.

     If you are a certificated Shareholder and you wish to apply for excess Rights Offer Shares, you must complete the
     form of instruction attached to the Rights Offer Circular in accordance with the instructions contained therein, and
     enclose payment for such additional Rights Offer Shares with your subscription. The completed form of instruction,
     together with payment, should be lodged with Computershare Investor Services Proprietary Limited so as to be
     received by no later than 12:00 on Friday, 25 November 2016.

     If you are a dematerialised Shareholder and you wish to apply for excess Rights Offer Shares, you must instruct
     your Central Securities Depositary Participant (“CSDP”) or broker, in terms of the agreement entered into between
     them and their CSDP or broker, as to the number of excess Rights Offer Shares for which you wish to apply.

6.   Conditions precedent

     The implementation of the Rights Offer is subject to the JSE granting a listing for the letters of allocation and the
     Rights Offer Shares on the securities exchange of the JSE in respect of the Rights Offer.
