Director's dealing in securities

HUGE GROUP LIMITED
(Registration number 2006/023587/06)
Share code: HUG ISIN: ZAE000102042
(“Huge” or “the Company”)

DIRECTOR’S DEALING IN SECURITIES

Shareholders are hereby advised that the Company has entered into
an agreement (“the Agreement”) in terms of which Huge shall acquire
75% of the issued share capital of Accknowledge Systems Proprietary
Limited (“Accknowledge”) for a purchase consideration of R3 750 000,
to be settled by the issue of 468 750 new Huge shares (“the
Transaction”) at an issue price of R8.00 per Huge share.

Accknowledge develops, maintains and supplies the WebAccounting
Accounting Software Suite (“WebAccounting” or “the Accounting
Software”). The Accounting Software is developed locally in South
Africa and was released to the market in 2005. Huge has been using
WebAccounting to keep its accounting books and records since 2008.
WebAccounting is a critical piece of software technology for Huge
Telecom Proprietary Limited (“Huge Telecom”), a subsidiary company
of Huge.     Huge Telecom’s billing and rating engine, HIVE, and
WebAccounting are integrated pieces of software. The directors are
of the view that owning Accknoweldge is not only important for
controlling this proprietary intellectual property, which is central to
Huges’ Back Office functions, but also because it will be more cost
effective than acquiring and customising a third party product.

James Herbst (“the Director”), an executive director of Huge, holds
13.354% of the ordinary shares of Accknowledge and is accordingly
one of the sellers in terms of the Agreement. As a consequence, the
Director will receive 62 598 Huge ordinary shares when the Transaction
is implemented. The consideration ratio in relation to the aggregated
related party aspects of the Transaction is below 0.25% and as such the
Transaction is not considered a related party transaction. In addition,
neither the Director nor any of his associates have entered into any
related party transactions with Huge in the last twelve months.

The Transaction creates an obligation to make the necessary
disclosures in terms of paragraphs 3.63 to 3.66 of the Listings
Requirements of the JSE Limited in terms of directors’ dealings
announcements.

Accordingly, the following information is disclosed in respect of the
acquisition of Huge ordinary shares by a director of the Company:

Nature of interest:           Direct beneficial
