The definitions and interpretations commencing on page 6 of the Circular have been used in this SENS

Altron shareholders are referred to the announcement released on SENS on Thursday, 9 February

a) the collapse of the Company’s historical dual share capital structure and the removal of the Venter

b) the repurchase by the Company of all of the issued N class shares in consideration for the issue
of 9 A class ordinary shares for every 10 N class shares;
c) the subscription by the Venter Family for a new high voting share which will entitle the Venter
Family to exercise 25.0% plus one vote at any shareholders' meeting for as long as the Venter
Family owns, directly or indirectly, in excess of 10.0% of the A class shares in the Company;
d) the introduction of VCP as a new strategic partner, which is expected to be a catalyst in driving
shareholder value creation by accelerating the Company’s growth initiatives within its core IT
operations; and

4. CHANGES TO THE BOARD
In compliance with Section 3.59 of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited Shareholders are
advised of the following changes to the Board:
Antony Ball and Samuel Sithole have been appointed to the Board as non-executive directors, with
effect from date of implementation of the Restructure.
- Antony Ball, co-founded Capital Partners, South Africa’s first independent private equity firm. In
1998, Capital Partners merged with the investment banking interests of Capital Alliance Holdings
Limited to form Brait SE. Mr Ball served as Brait’s Chief Executive Officer for nine years, during
which time he played a key role in the raising, management and organisation of Brait’s private
equity funds and led numerous investments covering industrial services, technology,
manufacturing, media, agricultural services and chemicals.
- Sam Sithole is the Chief Executive Officer of Value Capital Partners. He was an Executive
Director of Brait SE from June 2008 until September 2016, where he spent most of his years as
the Financial Director of the Brait Group and later as Executive Director: Capital and Treasury.
The above period included extensive corporate and group re-organisations, as well as engaging
in both local and international markets for new capital for the group. Mr Sithole was also an
integral part of the investment team from 2011 until 2016, when Brait transitioned into an
investment company, a period which saw the company grow its market capitalisation over 10
times within a four to five year period. Mr Sithole was also a partner of Deloitte, where he spent
six years as an audit partner and departed the organisation as Business Unit Leader for the
Financial Services Audit practice in their Johannesburg offices.
The Board welcomes Antony Ball and Samuel Sithole and looks forward to their contribution.
5. REVISED SALIENT DATES AND TIMES
To the extent that certain conditions precedent to implementation of the Restructure are fulfilled earlier
