3) CONDITIONAL SHARE PLAN (“CSP”)

The CSP was approved by shareholders at the Company’s annual general
meeting held on 14 September 2017.

The CSP awards granted in June 2019 had two performance conditions each
applying to half the award: an underlying EPS growth condition and a Return
on Invested Capital (ROIC) condition.

The Remuneration Committee has determined that 25% of the June 2019 CSP
awards would vest on 6 July 2022 as the threshold for the ROIC performance
condition had been achieved for FY22 but the underlying EPS growth
condition had not been achieved.

Accordingly,344,422 Datatec shares have been delivered to participants in
the June 2019 CSP on 6 July 2022.
