DISPOSAL BY MUSTEK LIMITED (“MUSTEK”) OF INTEREST IN COMZTEK HOLDINGS
                  PROPRIETARY LIMITED (“COMZTEK”)

1. Introduction

   Shareholders are advised that Mustek has entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement
   (“agreement”) dated 29 November 2012 whereby Mustek will dispose of its 41,84%
   stake (“sale shares”) in Comztek, a communication systems distributor, to Datatec
   Limited (“the purchaser” or “Datatec”) for a total consideration of R39 403 905
   (“purchase price”) through a combination of cash and Datatec Limited shares, with effect
   from the effective date (“the transaction”). Comztek will also declare a dividend prior to
   completion which will effectively increase Mustek’s consideration to R44 424 826. The
   purchase price payable by the purchaser to Mustek for the sale shares shall be satisfied
   as follows:

       ? an amount of R27 403 905 in cash on completion;
       ? an amount of R12 000 000 by the issue of shares in the share capital of the
           purchaser (“consideration shares”).

   Should the purchaser fail to issue the consideration shares within 10 business days after
   completion, the purchaser shall immediately pay an amount of R12 000 000 to Mustek.

   The total number of shares in the share capital of the purchaser to be issued shall be
   such number as shall be equal to R12 000 000, divided by the volume weighted average
   price (“VWAP”) of an ordinary share in the share capital of the purchaser on the JSE for
   the 10 trading days preceding the date of completion or the VWAP of an ordinary share
   in the share capital of the purchaser on the JSE for the 30 trading days preceding the
   date of Completion, as the case may be. Mustek shall be obliged to notify the purchaser
   in writing by no later than the business day immediately prior to completion, whether to
   apply the 10 day VWAP or the 30 day VWAP for the determination of the number of
   ordinary shares in the share capital of the purchaser to be issued.

   The purchase price is not subject to any performance conditions.

   It is Mustek’s intention to dispose of the ordinary shares in the share capital of the
   purchaser.

   The effective date will be the first business day of the month following the month in
   which the last of the conditions precedent shall have been fulfilled or waived.

2. Rationale

   The transaction is part of the Group`s ongoing drive to reduce debt by disposing of non-
   core assets.

3. Salient terms
    Mustek has provided warranties in relation to the transaction which are standard for
    transactions of this nature.

4. Conditions precedent

   The transaction is subject to:
      ? the necessary regulatory approvals;
      ? Comztek receiving written confirmation from vendors representing at least 80% in
          value of Comztek’s last audited turnover that it will continue to supply Comztek
          on substantially similar terms and conditions;
      ? no material adverse change in Comztek having occurred during the period
          between the signature date and completion;
      ? the completion of the East Africa reorganisation;
      ? the subscription agreement having been entered into between Westcon
          Emerging Markets Group Proprietary Limited, MIC Investment Holdings
          Proprietary Limited, certain sellers other than Mustek, key employees and
          Westcon SA Proprietary Limited becoming unconditional;
      ? the purchaser having obtained a fair and reasonable opinion;
      ? Comztek receiving written confirmation from its lessors consenting to the change
          of control of the lessee and to the assignment of the leases in respect of
          properties leased by Comztek ;
      ? employment contracts having been concluded with key Comztek employees;
      ? the issue by Datatec of certain guarantees to Comztek’s vendors; and
      ? consent from senior debenture holders in Comztek Capital Proprietary Limited for
          the implementation of the transaction.

5. Unaudited pro forma financial effects

   The table below sets out the unaudited pro forma financial effects of the transaction for
   the year ended 30 June 2012. The unaudited pro forma financial effects are presented
   for illustrative purposes only and because of their nature may not give a fair reflection of

   transaction.

   transaction took place with effect from 1 July 2011 for earnings per share and headline
   earnings per share purposes and 30 June 2012 for net asset value per share and net
   tangible asset value per share purposes.

   The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the unaudited pro
   forma financial effects. The accounting policies of Mustek have been applied in

      by nature.
