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.

? the completion of the East Africa reorganisation;
