ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING THE SALIENT DATES AND POSTING OF THE OFFER CIRCULAR
ANNOUNCEMENT BY ATON GMBH (“ATON”)

Shareholders are referred to the announcement released by ATON on Monday, 9 April 2018, regarding the
salient dates and posting of the offer circular (“Offer Circular”) in relation to the offer to acquire all or a portion
of the Murray & Roberts’ shares held by Murray & Roberts’ shareholders, other than ATON or its affiliates,
on terms as set out in the Offer Circular (“Offer”).

The independent board of Murray & Roberts (“Independent Board”) is required to post its response circular
by no later than Wednesday, 9 May 2018, as specified in the Takeover Regulations published in terms of
Section 120 of the Companies Act 2008, as amended (“Response Circular”).

The formal recommendation of the Independent Board will be set out in the Response Circular. The
Independent Board has, however, communicated to Murray & Roberts’ shareholders its view that the Offer,
as construed, materially undervalues Murray & Roberts based on its prospects. The Independent Board’s
view remains that a fair value price range for control of Murray & Roberts is between ZAR20.00 to ZAR22.00
per Murray & Roberts’ share. ATON’s minimum level of acceptances is such that would give it 50% plus one
share of Murray & Roberts’ total ordinary shares in issue and therefore control of the Company. Accordingly,
the Independent Board guides Murray & Roberts’ shareholders to take no action regarding the Offer.

The Independent Board, together with its advisers, will continue to update Murray & Roberts’ shareholders
on all matters relevant to the Offer.

Responsibility Statement

The Independent Board accepts responsibility for the information contained in this announcement and
certifies that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, the information contained in this announcement is true
and nothing has been omitted which is likely to affect the importance of the information.
