RECM AND CALIBRE LIMITED

Registration number 2009/012403/06
Preference Share Code: RACP
ISIN: ZAE000145041
(“RAC” or “the Company”)


SUBMISSION OF RESOLUTION TO RAC PREFERENCE SHAREHOLDERS AND UPDATE ON ASTORIA
VOLUNTARY OFFER


Holders of RAC participating preference shares (“RAC Shares”) (“RAC Shareholders”) are referred to
the announcements released on SENS on 4 and 17 May 2018 regarding the submission of a firm
intention to the board of Astoria Investments Limited (“Astoria”) to make an offer to acquire all the
issued ordinary shares of Astoria not already held (the “Voluntary Offer”) and an update on the
posting of the documents pertaining to the Voluntary Offer.

The board of directors would like to provide RAC Shareholders with the following further update:


1.      THE DISTRIBUTION OF A SHAREHOLDER RESOLUTION

In terms of the intended Voluntary Offer, RAC Shareholder approval is required for the issue of
additional RAC Shares, to be used as the top-up share consideration, if applicable (the “Top-up Share
Consideration”) (the “Resolution”).

A circular, together with the proposed Resolution in terms of section 60 of the Companies Act, 71 of
2008 (the “Act”), a voting form and a form of proxy (the “Circular”), will be distributed to RAC
Shareholders today, 29 June 2018.

A copy of the Circular is available on the Company’s website: www.racltd.co.za.


2.      CHANGE IN ISSUE PRICE OF RAC SHARES UNDER INTENDED VOLUNTARY OFFER

RAC announced its annual financial results for the year ended 31 March 2018 on SENS on
20 June 2018. These results confirmed the year-end net asset value (“NAV”) of 2 777 cents per RAC
Share. Accordingly, RAC will be amending the issue price of RAC Shares under the intended Voluntary
Offer to 2 777 cents per RAC Share as opposed to the previously announced 2 800 cents per RAC Share.
The result is that accepting Astoria shareholders will, if the Top-up Share Consideration becomes
applicable, receive a greater number of RAC Shares than was previously anticipated.

RAC has today notified the Astoria Board and the Mauritian Financial Services Commission of this
intended amendment to the issue price for purposes of the Top-up Share Consideration.
