The repurchases were made in terms of the general authority granted by shareholders at the
AGM and were effected through the order book operated by the JSE trading system without
any prior understanding or arrangement between the Company and the counterparties. The
general repurchase of ordinary shares has been complied with in terms of paragraph 5.72(a)
of the JSE Listings Requirements.

The Company is entitled to repurchase a further 5 704 695 ordinary shares (16.98% of the
ordinary shares in issue as at the date of the authority), in terms of the current general
authority, which is valid until it’s next annual general meeting.

As at the date of this announcement, the Company held 106 240 ordinary shares in treasury,
which shares exclude the shares that are the subject of this announcement.

The ordinary shares were repurchased from excess working capital resources of the Company
and the interest that would have been generated for the group’s banking facility is minimal.
OPINION OF THE BOARD OF THE COMPANY

The board of SilverBridge has considered the effect of the repurchases and is of the opinion
that, for a period of 12 months following the date of this announcement:

-    the Company and the Group will be able, in the ordinary course of business, to repay
     their debts for a period of 12 months after the date of the board approval;
-    the consolidated assets of the Company and the Group will be in excess of the
     consolidated liabilities of the Company and the Group for a period of 12 months after the
     date of the board approval;
-    the Company’s and the Group’s share capital and reserves will be adequate for the
     purposes of the business of the Company and the Group for a period of 12 months after
     the date of the board approval; and
-    the Company and the Group will have sufficient working capital for ordinary business
     purposes for a period of 12 months after the date of the board approval.
