LAUNCH OF PLACING OF UP TO 400 MILLION SHARES IN PEPKOR HOLDINGS LIMITED

Ainsley Holdings (Pty) Limited ("Ibex"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Ibex Topco, announces
the launch of an accelerated bookbuild (the "Placing") of up to 400 million ordinary shares of no par
value in Pepkor Holdings Limited ("Pepkor") ("Placing Shares"), representing approximately 10.9% of
Pepkor's current issued share capital.

Ibex currently owns 43.7% of the issued shares in Pepkor. On the successful conclusion of the Placing,
and assuming Ibex places all of the Placing Shares, Ibex will retain ownership of approximately 32.9%
of the issued share capital of Pepkor. Assuming Ibex places all of the Placing Shares, the Placing will
also increase the free float of Pepkor from approximately 56.3% to 67.1%.

Ibex has agreed to a 90-day lock-up period, subject to customary exceptions and waiver by Barclays
Bank PLC, Investec Bank Limited and J.P. Morgan Securities PLC who are acting as joint global
coordinators in respect of the Placing (together, the "Joint Global Coordinators").

As is customary in transactions of this nature, the Company reserves the right to increase the size of
the Placing, subject to demand and pricing.

Information relating to the Placing

The Placing is offered to qualifying investors only (as set out in the disclaimer below) and does not and
will not constitute, nor is it intended to constitute, an offer to the public to purchase any shares in any
jurisdiction.

The Placing will be conducted by the Joint Global Coordinators pursuant to the terms of the placing
agreement entered into between Ibex and the Joint Global Coordinators.

The price per Placing Share will be determined through the accelerated bookbuild process. The
bookbuild process will commence with immediate effect and is expected to close as soon as possible,
at the discretion of Ibex. Pricing and allocations will be announced as soon as practicable following
completion of the bookbuild and pricing of the Placing.

webcast of the investor presentation, can be found on its website https://www.pepkor.co.za/. It should
