TENDER OFFER - DISTRIBUTION OF CIRCULAR

INTRODUCTION

Shareholders are hereby advised that Quantum is making a voluntary pro rata tender offer to
all shareholders to repurchase up to 11 080 481 ordinary no par value shares in the share
capital of Quantum (“Shares”), constituting up to 4.99999% of the issued Shares of the
Company (“Tender Offer Cap”), from its shareholders, on a pro rata basis (together, the
“Tender Offer”), thereby creating a liquidity event for its shareholders wishing to dispose of
some or all of their Shares. The Tender Offer will also reduce the ongoing administrative costs
associated with housing a large number of shareholders (to the extent that they sell all their
Shares).

In terms of the Tender Offer, each shareholder is entitled to sell up to 4.99999% of the Shares
registered in such shareholder’s name, rounded down to the nearest whole number (“Basic
Entitlement”) on the record date of the Tender Offer. Shareholders are also entitled to sell
additional Shares held by them in excess of their Basic Entitlement to the extent that other
Shareholders tender less than their Basic Entitlement. Any such excess tenders will be
satisfied, on a pro rata basis, in proportion to all amounts tendered in excess of the Basic
Entitlement (rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares), subject to the Tender
Offer Cap.

The Shares will be repurchased at a price per share equal to the volume weighted average
traded price of the Shares for the 10 trading days ending Friday, 3 August 2018, plus a
premium of 5%.

DISTRIBUTION OF CIRCULAR

A circular (“Circular”), detailing the Tender Offer, will be distributed to shareholders today,
Thursday, 19 July 2018.

The Circular is available in English only. Copies may be obtained during normal business
hours from the registered office of the Company and from the offices of the Company’s
