ANNNOUNCEMENT REGARDING:
- COMPLETION OF THE B-BBEE TRANSACTION WITH WOMEN INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
   HOLDINGS LIMITED (“WIPHOLD”); AND
- THE DEALING IN SECURITIES BY AN ASSOCIATE OF DIRECTORS

1. INTRODUCTION

   Sasfin shareholders (“Shareholders”) are referred, inter alia, to the circular dated 21 August 2017
   (“Circular”) regarding the Transaction (defined below) and the announcement dated 16 October
   2017 wherein they were advised that all suspensive conditions to the Transaction had been
   fulfilled.

   In terms of the Transaction:

   -   Wipfin Investments Proprietary Limited (formerly known as Sinvest Investments 245
       Proprietary Limited) (“Wipfin”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of WIPHOLD, would subscribe for
       Sasfin ordinary shares (“Shares”) at R51.00 per share in terms of a specific issue of shares
       for cash (“Subscription”); and
   -   Sasfin would make an offer to repurchase all or some of the Shares held by Shareholders
       (“Repurchase Offer”) at R51.00 per share in compliance with all of the applicable
       requirements for a scheme of arrangement in terms of section 114 of the Companies Act, 71
       of 2008 (as amended) (“Companies Act”) as read with section 115 of the Companies Act.

   The Subscription and Repurchase Offer (collectively “Transaction”) were indivisibly linked.

2. THE SUBSCRIPTION AND RESULTS OF THE REPURCHASE OFFER

   Shareholders are advised that in terms of the Subscription, 8 107 662 Shares were issued to
   Wipfin and listed on the exchange operated by JSE Limited on Monday, 30 October 2017.

   In terms of the Repurchase Offer, which closed on Friday, 27 October 2017, Sasfin received
   acceptances in respect of 9 949 074 Shares, equating to 122.7% of 8 107 662 Shares (being the
   maximum number of Shares that could be repurchased in terms of the Repurchase Offer).
   Accordingly, the formula referred to in the Circular was applied so as to ensure that only
   8 107 662 Shares were acquired by Sasfin in terms of the Repurchase Offer.

   Following the successful implementation of the Transaction, Wipfin now holds 25.1% of the
   Shares in issue.
