                                     SHARE BUYBACK

1.   Introduction

Shareholders of Grit (“Shareholders”) are referred to the announcement published on 19 December 2017,
advising that the Board of Grit passed a resolution on 18 December 2017, authorising the repurchase of up to
1,750,000 shares in the Company (“Buyback shares”) representing 0.84% of the total issued shares of Grit as
at the last practicable date, being 31 January 2018 (“Buyback”).

2.   Rationale for the Buyback and Board’s recommendation

It is the Board’s view that Buyback shares repurchased at a discount to their net asset value is an efficient use
of Grit’s cash. In the absence of any other mitigating factors, the Buyback is generally expected to be value
enhancing and will benefit the Shareholders as a whole given that the pricing at which the Buyback will be
effected is less than the intrinsic value of those shares, with the result that the net asset value per share post
the Buyback will be increased accordingly.

3.   Buyback Period

The timetable from the opening till the closing of the Buyback operation is as follows:

     Commencement date of Buyback                                               6 March 2018
     Closing date of Buyback                                                    17 June 2018

The above dates may be subject to change.

Any changes will be announced on the website of the Stock Exchange of Mauritius Ltd (“SEM”) and on the Stock
Exchange News Service (“SENS”) of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (“JSE”). In accordance with the
Securities (Purchase of Own Shares) Rules 2008 (“Buyback Rules”), because the Buyback will be less than
5% of the Shares in issue as at the last practicable date, the Company may terminate the Buyback at any time,
irrespective of whether any or all of the Buyback shares have been repurchased, which termination will be
announced on the SEM website and on SENS.

4.   Buyback price

The Buyback will be undertaken subject to the availability of Shares at the JSE Buyback Price for Shares held
on the South African Register and at the SEM Buyback Price for Shares held on the Mauritian Register during
the Buyback Period, and that those shares so purchased shall be cancelled.

The Buyback will be undertaken at a price which is maximum 10% below the net asset value per share of the
Company at the time of repurchase and not more than 5% above the weighted average of the market value of
the shares for the five business days immediately preceding the date that the repurchase is effected on the SEM
and on the JSE.
