FINALISATION ANNOUNCEMENT AND RATIO APPLICABLE TO THE SCRIP DISTRIBUTION

Datatec shareholders (the "Shareholders") are referred to the announcement regarding the
Company's audited financial results for the year ended 28 February 2025 and declaration of a cash
dividend with a scrip distribution alternative released on the Stock Exchange News Service
("SENS") of the JSE Limited ("JSE") on Tuesday, 27 May 2025, in terms of which the board of
directors of the Company notified shareholders that it had resolved to declare a gross final cash
dividend of 200 ZAR cents ("Cash Dividend") per Datatec ordinary share ("Datatec Ordinary
Share") held on the record date, being Friday, 18 July 2025 ("Record Date"). Shareholders were
advised that they would be entitled to elect to receive a scrip distribution of new, fully paid Datatec
Ordinary Shares in proportion to their ordinary shareholding in Datatec on the Record Date instead
of the Cash Dividend ("Scrip Distribution" or "Scrip Distribution Alternative").

A circular setting out the terms of the Cash Dividend and the Scrip Distribution Alternative, including
a Form of Election to elect to receive the Scrip Distribution Alternative, was distributed to
Shareholders on Wednesday, 4 June 2025 ("Circular").

The number of Scrip Distribution shares to which each Shareholder will become entitled pursuant to
the Scrip Distribution (subject to their election thereto) will be determined by reference to such
Shareholder's ordinary shareholding in Datatec (at the close of trade on the JSE on the Record
Date) in relation to the ratio that 200 ZAR cents bears to the volume weighted average price
("VWAP") of a Datatec Ordinary Share traded on the JSE during the 30-day trading period ending
on Monday, 7 July 2025, less the amount of the Cash Dividend, provided that, where the application
of this ratio gives rise to a fraction of a Datatec Ordinary Share, the rounding principles will be
applied. The 30-day VWAP "ex" the Cash Dividend at close of trading on the securities exchange
operated by the JSE on Monday, 7 July 2025 was 6230.00697 ZAR cents per share (being
6430.00697 ZAR cents minus 200 ZAR cents). The ratio of Scrip Distribution shares to which each
Shareholder will become entitled pursuant to the Scrip Distribution Alternative (to the extent that
such Shareholder elects to receive the Scrip Distribution shares) is therefore 3.21027 Scrip
Distribution shares for every 100 Datatec Ordinary Shares held on the Record Date.

Where a Shareholder's entitlement to new Datatec Ordinary Shares, calculated in accordance with
the above formula, gives rise to a fraction of a new Datatec Ordinary Share, such fraction of a new
a Datatec Ordinary Share will be rounded down to the nearest whole number, resulting in allocations
of whole ordinary shares and a cash payment for the fraction ("Rounding Provision"). The
applicable cash payment will be determined with reference to the VWAP of a Datatec Ordinary Share
traded on the JSE on Wednesday, 16 July 2025, (being the day on which Datatec Ordinary Shares
begin trading "ex" the entitlement to receive the Cash Dividend or the Scrip Distribution Alternative),
discounted by 10%. Details of the cash payment will be announced on SENS on Thursday, 17 July
2025. Shareholders are referred to paragraph 3.4 of the Circular in which it is stated that the Scrip
Distribution Alternative and cash paid for a fraction of a Datatec Ordinary Share will, unless exempt,
be subject to Dividend Withholding Tax in terms of the Income Tax Act 58 of 1962.
                                                                                           

Example of Scrip Distribution entitlement:

This example assumes that a Shareholder holds 100 Datatec Ordinary Shares at the close of
business on the Record Date and elects to receive the Scrip Distribution shares in respect of all
their shareholding.

New ordinary share entitlement =

100 x 200 ZAR cents / (6430.00697-200) ZAR cents

= 3.21027 Scrip Distribution shares (then apply the Rounding Provision described above)

= 3 Scrip Distribution shares in respect of the 100 Datatec Ordinary Shares held plus the
applicable cash payment to be determined as described above.
