CONCLUSION OF DEBT REFINANCING AND RESTRUCTURING PROCESS

The board of directors of Metrofile Holdings is pleased to announce to shareholders that it has
successfully concluded its debt restructuring and refinancing process, with the new term facilities
effective immediately. This process has resulted in total debt facilities of R720 million comprising:

   •   R200 million bullet facility (5-year term)
   •   R200 million amortising facility (5-year term)
   •   R200 million revolving credit facility (“RCF”) (5-year term)
   •   R120 million general borrowing facility (on demand); will be temporarily increased by a further
       R85 million until 30 September 2019

In line with Metrofile’s intensified focus on improving cash management, the new efficient debt structure
will result in the group’s effective cost of debt improving from 3-month Johannesburg Interbank Agreed
Rate (“JIBAR”) plus 2.75% to the following:

  Gross debt/EBITDA       Bullet/RCF (3-month JIBAR plus)         Amortising (3-month JIBAR plus)
          >2.50x                         2.95%                                  2.65%
       >2.00 < 2.50x                     2.75%                                  2.45%
          <2.00x                         2.55%                                  2.25%
