Shareholders are advised that Brainworks Petroleum (Private) Limited (an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary

15.3157, being the ZAR: USD exchange rate at the date of this announcement) (“the Disposal”).

Overview of FML

FML is engaged in logistics operations centred predominantly on transporting petroleum products within
the Southern African Development Community.

Sale consideration and use of proceeds

The Disposal consideration, adjusted for the subsidiary intercompany debt noted below, is payable to the

The parties have agreed that the Disposal consideration of US$1million will be reduced by US$135,300,
