Sp. z o.o. (“Euro Driveshafts”), registered and operating in Poland. Propshaft Rebuilders is known for
delivering premium automotive solutions to the South African market. The established national footprint
incorporates a head office in Johannesburg and branches in Durban, Pietermaritzburg and Cape Town.
Euro Driveshafts likewise is one of the biggest suppliers in Central and Eastern Europe with newly
established branches in UK, Spain and the Ukraine.

Invicta’s position as one of the leading firms in the automotive and power transmission component
industry is further enhanced by the acquisition of the Driveshaft Parts Group, which will form part of ESG.

In terms of the categorisation rules of the JSE Limited's Listings Requirements the Acquisition falls below
the threshold for announcement on SENS. Nevertheless, the board of Invicta deems it appropriate to
inform its various stakeholders of the Acquisition.
