DISTRIBUTION OF SUPPLEMENTARY CIRCULAR AND NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

1.     INTRODUCTION

1.1.     Shareholders are referred to the Company’s SENS announcement dated
         10 November 2017 (“Announcement”) and to the circular distributed to
         shareholders on the same date (“Circular”), advising that AEEI’s
         board of directors had approved a proposal to list its subsidiary,
         AYO Technology Solutions Limited (“AYO Technology”), on the JSE,
         subject to market conditions (“Listing”).

1.2.     Subsequent to the distribution of the Circular, AEEI has determined
         that it wishes to undertake a broad-based black economic empowerment
         (“B-BBEE”) transaction in terms of which AYO Technology will issue
         shares to a B-BBEE consortium prior to the Listing (“B-BBEE
         Consortium Share Issue”). As a result of the B-BBEE Consortium Share
         Issue, the number of shares that will be issued on Listing has been
         reduced (“Share Issue”).

1.3.     As stated in the Announcement, 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.

1.4.     In addition, the B-BBEE Consortium Share Issue, when aggregated with
         the Share Issue, will constitute a category 1 disposal by AEEI in
         terms of the JSE Listings Requirements and, accordingly, requires
         the approval of AEEI Shareholders.

2.     DISTRIBUTION OF SUPPLEMENTARY CIRCULAR

2.1.     Details of the Share Issue and the B-BBEE Consortium Share Issue are
         contained in a supplementary circular that will be distributed to
         shareholders today (“Supplementary Circular”). The Supplementary
         Circular has been issued to provide additional information to the
         Circular in relation to the B-BBEE Consortium Share Issue and to
         amend the number of shares that will be issued on Listing. 
         Accordingly, the Supplementary Circular should be read in conjunction
         with the Circular and incorporates all information in the Circular
         by reference, as amended by the content of the Supplementary
         Circular.

2.2.     The Supplementary Circular incorporates a notice convening a general
         meeting of shareholders (“General Meeting”), in order to consider
         and, if deemed fit, to approve the B-BBEE Consortium Share Issue and
         the Share Issue.

2.3.     The Supplementary Circular will also be available on the Company’s
         website at www.aeei.co.za. In addition, copies of the Circular will
         be available for inspection, in English only, during normal business
         hours until the date of the General Meeting at the Company’s
         registered office and at the offices of its sponsor, PSG Capital, at
         1st Floor, Ou Kollege, Stellenbosch and 2nd Floor, Building 3, 11
         Alice Lane, Sandhurst, Sandton.

3.     NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

3.1.     Notice is hereby given that the General Meeting of shareholders will
         be held at at AEEI’s head office, at Quay 7, Breakwater Boulevard,
         East Pier, Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, Cape Town at 10:00 on Monday,
         18 December 2017, at which General Meeting AEEI Shareholders will be
         requested to consider and, if deemed fit, to pass, with or without
         modification, the resolutions set out in the notice of General
         Meeting attached to the Supplementary Circular.

3.2.     AEEI Shareholders holding 82.02% of the issued share capital of AEEI
         have provided irrevocable undertakings to vote in favour of the
         resolutions to approve the B-BBEE Consortium Share Issue and the
         Share Issue at the General Meeting.

3.3.     For the avoidance of doubt, the general meeting referred to in the
         Circular on 8 December 2017 will no longer take place and has been
         replaced by the General Meeting referred to above.
