TRADING STATEMENT

 In terms of the JSE Listings Requirements, companies are required to publish a trading
 statement as soon as they are satisfied that a reasonable degree of certainty exists that the
 financial results for the period to be reported on next will differ by at least 20% from the
 financial results for the previous corresponding period.

 As detailed in our SENS announcement dated 5 May 2020, the final outstanding condition
 precedent to the disinvestment of our ownership in the Fleet Management and Logistics
 business (‘’Fleet’’) (“Transaction”) was not fulfilled and accordingly, the Transaction has not
 become effective. Due to these circumstances transpiring after the date of our interim result
 period as a subsequent event, the Transaction was still required to be recorded as held for
 sale at 29 February 2020. As required by IFRS 5, enX was required to cease depreciation
 and amortisation and assess the carrying value of the held for sale assets in terms of the
 Transaction value. The post-tax depreciation and amortisation for the six months ended 29
 February 2020 would have amounted to R204.1 million.

 The financial information in the table below record Fleet as an asset held for sale.
 Shareholders are advised that the company anticipates results for the six months ended 29
 February 2020 (‘’current 6 months’’) to differ by more than 20% compared to the six months
 ended 28 February 2019 (‘’Prior Year’’), as follows:


                                  Current 6             Prior Year           Percentage

    Diluted EPS                  161.9c to 168.9c          70.2c            130% to 140%
    HEPS                         162.5c to 169.6c          71.2c            128% to 138%

    HEPS                          30.1c to 33.6c           35.4c             (5%) to (15%)

  Discontinued operations
    EPS                          132.4c to 136.0c          35.8c            270% to 280%
    Diluted EPS                  131.3c to 134.8c          35.3c            272% to 282%

The current 6 months range for the enX Group’s EPS, Diluted EPS and HEPS would have
been 50.3c to 57.4c, 49.9c to 56.9c and 49.5c to 56.7c respectively on a like-for-like basis had
Fleet not been treated as an asset held for sale and the post-tax depreciation and amortisation
of R204.1 million had been recorded. This can be compared to the prior year EPS, Diluted
EPS and HEPS of 71.2c, 70.2c and 71.2c respectively.

Further details will be provided in the condensed unaudited consolidated interim financial
results due for release on or about 27 May 2020.
