DISTRIBUTION OF CIRCULAR AND NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

1.     INTRODUCTION

1.1.     Shareholders are referred to the Company’s SENS announcement dated
         20 October 2016, advising that AEEI’s board of directors has approved
         a proposal to list its subsidiary, AYO Technology Solutions Limited
         (“AYO Technology”), on the JSE, subject to market conditions
         (“Listing”).

1.2.     As a condition to the Listing and in order to provide AYO Technology
         with additional capital to fund its further expansion, it is proposed
         that AYO Technology will, on the date of the Listing, issue shares
         to eligible investors by way of a private placement, such new shares
         representing, following their issue, up to 51% of the issued share
         capital of AYO Technology (“Share Issue”). AEEI’s shareholding in
         AYO Technology will, as a result of the Share Issue, reduce from
         80.03% to not less than 49%. The Listing remains subject to the
         approval of the JSE.

1.3.     The Share Issue by AYO Technology will constitute a category 1
         disposal by AEEI in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements and,
         accordingly, requires the approval of AEEI shareholders. AEEI will,
         today, distribute a circular to shareholders, detailing the Share
         Issue and the manner in which it will be implemented (“Circular”).
