FINALISATION OF AGGREGATE ORDINARY SHARE SCHEME CONSIDERATION AND PAYMENT OF
COMPLETION CALCULATION AMOUNT


Astrapak Shareholders are referred to the ‘Fulfilment of Outstanding Condition Precedent and Finalisation
Announcement’ released on SENS on 5 June 2017 (“Finalisation Announcement”), and to the circular to
Astrapak Shareholders dated 7 April 2017 (“Circular”) (and using the terms defined therein unless otherwise
stated) regarding, inter alia the Offer by RPC to acquire, either itself or through RPC Nominee, all of the Astrapak
Ordinary Shares, excluding the 12 837 424 Treasury Shares and 1 258 594 Astrapak Ordinary Shares held by the
ASOS Trust, being a total of 121 035 232 Astrapak Ordinary Shares, as well as the voluntary repurchase by
Astrapak of all of the Preference Shares in issue from the holders thereof, both by way of schemes of arrangement
in terms of section 114 of the Companies Act proposed by the Astrapak Board to the Astrapak Shareholders.

As set out in the Finalisation Announcement, Astrapak Ordinary Shareholders were advised that as a result of the
Existing Litigation Matters having been finally determined or settled prior to the date of such announcement, the
relevant Agterskot Litigation Consideration of R40 million, or 33.05 cents per Ordinary Scheme Share, was to be
paid to Ordinary Share Scheme Participants in accordance with paragraph 3.2.5.5.1 of the Circular, together with
the Ordinary Scheme Minimum Consideration of 640 cents per Ordinary Scheme Share, on 19 June 2017. The
aforementioned aggregated payment in the amount of 673.05 cents per Ordinary Scheme Share is being effected
today, 19 June 2017.

Astrapak Ordinary Shareholders are hereby advised that the Ordinary Share Scheme Consideration has now been
finally determined at 768.807 cents per Ordinary Scheme Share. Given that the Ordinary Share Scheme
Consideration, which has been calculated in accordance with the Ordinary Share Scheme Completion Documents
as referred to in the Circular, exceeds the Ordinary Share Scheme Minimum Consideration of 640 cents per
Ordinary Scheme Share, the Completion Calculation Amount, less the Denver Property Amount, representing a
net amount of 35.347 cents per Ordinary Scheme Share, will be paid to Ordinary Share Scheme Participants in
accordance with paragraph 3.2.5.3.1 of the Circular on 27 June 2017.

Astrapak Ordinary Shareholders are reminded that as the purchase price in respect of the Denver Property was
not received prior to the Ordinary Share Scheme Conditions Fulfilment Date, the Denver Property Amount,
representing an amount of 60.410 cents per Ordinary Share Scheme Share, will accordingly only be paid to
Ordinary Share Scheme Participants upon receipt thereof by Astrapak in accordance with paragraph 3.2.5.4.2 of
the Circular.

As set out in the Finalisation Announcement, Astrapak Preference Shareholders were advised that the Preference
Scheme Consideration of R100.00 per Preference Scheme Share was to be paid to Preference Share Scheme
Participants on 19 June 2017. Such payment is being effected today, 19 June 2017.

Astrapak Ordinary Shareholders further received one Master Plastics Limited share for every one Astrapak
Ordinary Share held as part of the Unbundling and Listing of Master Plastics Limited on the Alternative Exchange
of the JSE Limited on 24 May 2017.
