DEALING IN SECURITIES BY DIRECTORS, PRESCRIBED OFFICERS AND COMPANY SECRETARY OF ALTRON
AND ITS MAJOR SUBSIDIARIES: ALLOCATION AND VESTING OF 2017 AND 2018 SHARE APPRECIATION
RIGHTS (“SARS”) IN TERMS OF THE ALTRON 2009 SHARE PLAN


Introduction / Rationale

Shareholders are referred to the Company's SENS announcement dated 03 November 2020 and its
subsequent circular to shareholders, issued on 03 November 2020 ("Circular"), regarding the Bytes
Technology Group Limited demerger and the separate listing of Bytes Technology Group plc. The Circular
provided shareholders with information regarding the post demerger impacts on the Altron Group,
including but not limited to the remuneration and benefits of directors and/or prescribed officers and/or
the Company Secretary.

Shareholders were specifically notified of certain adjustments to be made to the awards granted to
participants under The 2009 Altron Share Plan (“Plan”) in order to place the participants in the same
position as they were in prior to the demerger. In accordance with the rules of the Plan, there will be no
variation in the remuneration receivable by the executive directors. However, as a result of a negative
strike price on vesting given the recent rebasing of Altron’s share price (which are as a consequence of
the recent demerger), the Board has approved that certain adjustments be effected to the existing
awards. Such adjustments as recently approved by the Board includes the reducing strike price of existing
awards, accelerated vesting of awards granted under the 2017 and 2018 schemes, adjusting the
performance criteria for the remaining vesting period in respect of existing awards made under the 2019
and 2020 schemes and applying extended vesting to shares issued to compensate for the negative strike
price.

Accordingly the following awards previously made to directors and/or prescribed officers and/or the
Company Secretary of the Altron Group have been adjusted in accordance with the provisions of Schedule
14.3 and are now disclosed below in terms of paragraph’s 3.63 – 3.74 of the JSE Listings Requirements:

Shareholders are advised that the adjustments above do not amend the Share Plan in any way and the
adjustments are effected as a result of the negative effect of the strike price due to the rebasing of Altron’s
share price which came about as a consequence of the Bytes demerger. In order to ensure that Altron’s
employees are remunerated fairly and in line with Altron’s Remuneration Policy, the Board has considered
the performance criteria and the other measurements set out in Altron’s Share Plan Rules.

Other than for the above-mentioned adjustments made to the awards granted to participants under the
2009 Altron Share, there will be no variation in the remuneration receivable by the executive directors,
prescribed officers and Company Secretary of Altron. The new share allocations in respect of the 2017
and 2018 SARS will vest in three years in accordance with the Plan rules.
