DEALINGS IN SECURITIES BY THE DBW PLAN, DIRECTORS AND THE COMPANY SECRETARY
Datatec announces annual grants under the terms of its Deferred Bonus Warrants
("DBW") Plan.
Participants in the DBW Plan have deferred a portion of their FY26 bonus which is
used to purchase Datatec shares "Bonus Shares" which will be held in escrow until
vesting. The Company has made a co-investment equal to the amount of bonus deferred
in the form of a grant of share appreciation rights ("SARs"). The number of SARs
awarded was determined by the Remuneration Committee based on an estimate of the
fair value of the SARs at the date of grant in relation to the market value of a
Datatec share.
Bonus Shares purchased and the SARs granted in terms of the DBW Plan are subject
to an employment condition and only vest with the participant if they remain in
employment with the Company for approximately three years to the vesting date on
1 June 2029. In addition, there is a two-year, post vesting holding period which
applies to the Bonus Shares and any shares arising from exercise of the SARs
within two years of vesting.
The DBW Plan is required to purchase a total of 273,113 Datatec ordinary shares
in the open market in respect of the Bonus Shares due to the participants who have
deferred part of their bonuses. The number of shares to be purchased was calculated
based on the Rand value of bonus deferred divided by R74.45 being the 30-day
volume weighted average share price on 26 May 2026, the date of the Group's FY26
Results Announcement. Bonus Shares of participants who are Directors and the
Company Secretary are as follows:

J P Montanana Director 200,000 Direct beneficial 14,890,000
I P Dittrich Director 45,710 Direct beneficial 3,403,110
S P Morris Company 10,961 Direct beneficial 816,046
Secretary
The shares to satisfy participants' bonus deferral, including the Directors and
Company Secretary as set out above were acquired in the market on 22 and 23 June
2026 with prior clearance at an average price of R 93.0145 per share and a total
transaction value of R 25,520,378 as shown in the table below.

SARs in respect of Datatec ordinary shares were granted in terms of the DBW Plan
on 22 June 2026 with a grant price of R74.45 being the 30-day volume weighted
average share price on 26 May 2026, the date of the Group's FY25 Results
Announcement. The value of the grant is shown in the table below based on the
actuarial value of the SARs awards which is the same as the share value noted
above. The value to a participant is however nil until and if the SARs vest and
are exercised. On vesting and exercise of the SARs, a further announcement of the
value received by the participants will be released.
