Any failure to comply with the applicable restrictions may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. This Circular does not constitute the solicitation of an offer to purchase shares or a solicitation of any vote or approval in any jurisdiction in which such solicitation would be unlawful.

The Capital Raise may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions of non‑resident shareholders. Such non‑resident shareholders should inform themselves about and observe any applicable legal requirements of such jurisdictions. It is the responsibility of any non‑resident shareholder to satisfy himself as to the full observance of the laws and regulatory requirements of the relevant jurisdiction in connection with the Capital Raise, which is the subject of this Circular, including the obtaining of any governmental, exchange control or other consents or the making of any filings which may be required, the compliance with other necessary formalities, the payment of any issue, transfer or other taxes or other requisite payments due to such jurisdiction.

The Capital Raise is governed by the laws of South Africa and is subject to any applicable laws and regulations, including the Companies Act.

Any shareholder who is in doubt as to their position, including, without limitation, their tax status, should consult an appropriate independent professional adviser in the relevant jurisdiction without delay.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Circular contains statements about the Company’s group of companies that are, or may be, forward–looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are, or may be deemed to be, forward‑looking statements. These forward‑looking statements are not based on historical facts, but rather reflect current expectations concerning future results and events, and generally may be identified by the use of forward‑looking words or phrases such as “believe”, “aim”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “foresee”, “forecast”, “likely”, “should”, “planned”, “may”, “estimated”, “potential” or similar words and phrases.

By their nature, forward‑looking statements involve risks and uncertainties as they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. The Company cautions that forward‑looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results, financial and operating conditions, liquidity and the developments within the industry in which the Company operates may differ materially from those made in, or suggested by, the forward‑looking statements contained in this Circular.

All of the forward‑looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions, as regards the Company, made by the Company as communicated in publicly available documents by the Company, all of which estimates and assumptions, although the Company believes them to be reasonable, are inherently uncertain. Such estimates, assumptions or statements may not eventuate. Factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied in those statements or assumptions include other matters not yet known to the Company or not currently considered material by the Company.

Shareholders should keep in mind that any forward‑looking statement made in this Circular or elsewhere is applicable only at the date on which such forward‑looking statement is made. New factors that could cause the business of Stellar Capital not to develop as expected may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all of them. Further, the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward‑looking statement are not known. The Company has no duty to, and does not intend to, update or revise the forward‑looking statements contained in this Circular after the date of this Circular, except as may be required by law.

CIRCULAR TO STELLAR CAPITAL SHAREHOLDERS

1. INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE OF THIS CIRCULAR

The Company intends pursuing a new capital raising programme in order to make capital available for investment purposes. Aligned to Stellar Capital’s growth strategy, the proposed Capital Raise, provides the following benefits:• diversified, cost efficient capital;• strengthens the Company’s balance sheet;• effectively lowers the Company’s cost of capital; and• is non‑dilutionary for ordinary shareholders.

1.1 Stellar Capital intends to raise up to R1 000 000 000 from existing shareholders and Qualifying Investors through:

1. The issuing of Preference Shares, in terms of which 600 Preference Shares will be issued through the Offering Circular, at the discretion of the directors. The Preference Share Issue is therefore expected to raise R600 000 000 at a price of R1 000 000 per Preference Share.

The full amount of R600 000 000 has been underwritten by the Preference Share Underwriters. The Offering Circular, a separate document governing the detailed terms of the Preference Shares, is expected to be provided to Qualifying Investors on or about 19 November 2015.

2. The Rights Issue, in terms of which a maximum capital of R400 000 000 will be raised. The terms of the Rights Issue are expected to be announced on or about 3 November 2015.

The Rights Issue is underwritten by the Rights Issue Underwriters.

3. In order for the Company to prepare for the Capital Raise, specific details of which will be included in the Offering and Rights Issue Circulars, the directors propose that the following be considered and approved by shareholders:• the Company increase its authorised ordinary share capital through the creation of an

additional 1 000 000 000 ordinary shares;• the Company increase its authorised share capital through the creation of 600 Preference

Shares, all of which are to be issued pursuant to the Preference Share Issue;

13

• the Company amends its MOI to enable the proposed changes to the share capital set out in this Circular to be implemented; and

• the Company amends the terms of the Management Agreement.

1.2 The purpose of this Circular is to furnish Stellar Capital shareholders with information relating to the Capital Raise so as to allow them sufficient information required to vote on the proposed resolutions prepared for the Capital Raise and required to be obtained in accordance with the Companies Act and the Listings Requirements and to convene a General Meeting at which shareholders will be requested to approve the proposed resolutions.

2. INCORPORATION, HISTORY AND PROSPECTS

2.1 Stellar Capital is an investment company focused on investing in listed and unlisted assets, working with management teams to create market leading businesses and ultimately realising and delivering value to its shareholders.

2.2 Stellar Capital’s incorporation involved the conclusion of several approved transactions to convert ConvergeNet Holdings Limited (“CVN”) to the listed investment vehicle through which Stellar Capital’s strategy could be implemented.

2.3 Cautionaries were withdrawn in September 2014 when the detailed plans were announced regarding the establishment of Stellar Capital – this included the disposal of the remaining CVN assets, the acquisition of an initial investment portfolio, certain board changes, JSE sector change and the intention to raise R150 million through a private placement of new ordinary shares.

2.4 The combination of strong management and the backing of the Wiese family, led to an oversubscribed private placement in October 2014 which facilitated the entry of strong, core strategic and institutional shareholders, including the Wiese family, Investec Asset Management, Nedbank Wealth and Momentum Asset Management amongst others.

2.5 Since then, Stellar Capital’s investment team has focused both on its initial portfolio, agreeing terms for the realisation of value of three of its initial four investments and concluding the acquisition of initial stakes in a further four investments, enabling the creation of three strategic investment platforms in industrials, information technology and financial services.

2.6 Stellar Capital’s net asset value has grown from R200 000 000 to R534 000 000 per the latest interim results for the 6 months ended 31 May 2015 as released on SENS on 31 July 2015, through this process and pursuant to the completion of its current pipeline of transactions being the completion of the Cadiz Acquisition, Digicore Disposal and Torre Acquisition, the net asset value is expected to increase to approximately R1 470 000 000, as shown in the pro forma financial effects included in the circular relating to the Torre Acquisition.

2.7 Stellar Capital believes that it has a competitive advantage through the strength of its network providing access to proprietary deal flow, coupled with a management and investment team with demonstrable track record in building value in businesses and generating exceptional shareholder return.

2.8 Stellar Capital will look to build on the platform created and has an exciting pipeline of opportunities lined up for 2016.

2.9 Investment strategy

2.9.1 The investment strategy of the Company, as included in the Company’s investment charter and which was formally approved by the Board on 3 December 2014, encompasses the following objectives:

2.9.1.1 to grow a portfolio of equity, debt and hybrid securities, unconstrained by any particular market or sector, in listed and unlisted businesses, that will generate above average returns on capital for the Company’s shareholders;

2.9.1.2 to apply a hands‑on investment approach, in order to assist management teams and to provide strategic input, without assuming direct operational responsibility;

2.9.1.3 to apply a flexible investment approach relating to the timing and duration of investments;

14

2.9.1.4 to actively engage with investee companies in relation to their corporate activity and other strategic initiatives; and

2.9.1.5 to leverage the existing network of ManCo to create a unique, well‑diversified investment vehicle which will be an attractive proposition for institutional investors.

2.10 In furtherance of this strategy, Stellar Capital intends to undertake acquisitions as and when opportunities that meet Stellar Capital’s investment criteria are identified.

2.11 Prospects

2.11.1 The prospects for the Group are positive and the Board is optimistic about the future. Following the completion of the Capital Raise, the Stellar Capital Group will have a scalable balance sheet that will allow it to execute the transactions in its immediate pipeline as well as pursue further strategic investments targeted for 2016.

2.11.2 Through its existing platform investments, network of business associates and ability to leverage its shareholders of reference, Stellar Capital is uniquely positioned to access unique and proprietary deal flow. This together with the execution capability of its investment team and track record of value creation post investment, offers shareholders access to a high growth, yet diversified platform.

2.11.3 The Board has considered all the information available to it and is confident that value will be created for shareholders through the Capital Raise.

3. THE CAPITAL RAISE

As mentioned in paragraph 1, the Company intends to raise R1 000 000 000 through the Capital Raise, thereby improving the Company’s capital structure and its ability to make value‑adding investments.

The proceeds from the Capital Raise will primarily be applied towards Stellar Capital’s immediate pipeline investments which include:– investment in certain proprietary high‑yielding credit funds;– follow‑on equity investment in established investment platforms; and– further large strategic investments targeted for 2016 that will enhance the scale and quality of the

Company’s portfolio.

3.1 Preference shares issue

3.1.1 Rationale

3.1.1.1 The Company intends to raise R600 000 000 through the Preference Share Issue.

3.1.1.2 Preference Shares are considered by the Company to be an attractive form of financing which allows the Company to diversify its balance sheet.

3.1.1.3 The Preference Shares will also allow the Company to raise capital at a lower cost with a predictable yield and a reduced level of shareholder dilution as compared to that which would be required through an equity issuance.

3.1.2 Salient terms of the Preference Shares

3.1.2.1 The Preference Shares are a class of shares as contemplated in section 36(1)(d) of the Companies Act, and save for the Conversion Terms and Voting Rights (which are incorporated in the Preference Share Terms upfront), the preferences, rights, limitations and other terms associated with the Preference Shares will be determined by the Board prior to the issue thereof. The intention of the Board is that the Preference Shares will have such features as are typically associated with such instruments in the South African market. In this regard, shareholders are advised that the dividend rate (which will be no higher than 95% of Prime), the ranking, Issue Price, redemption price, financial covenants, negative pledge, events of default and redemption events are in line with South African standards for such instruments.

15

3.1.2.2 Shareholders will therefore be requested to authorise the Board, by way of a special resolution, to issue the Preference Shares subject to the following limitations:

3.1.2.2.1 the authority will be valid from the date of adoption of the relevant special resolution until the next Annual General Meeting of the Company;

3.1.2.2.2 the amount to be raised by the issue of the Preference Shares is R600 000 000;

3.1.2.2.3 the Conversion Price is set at the greater of R2.40 and 20% above the closing ordinary share trading price the day before the date of the Book‑build. The maximum number of ordinary shares into which the Preference Shares may convert is 250 000 000 ordinary shares, in the event the Preference Shareholders elect the Conversion;

3.1.2.2.4 Preference Shares may only be issued if the Board is of the opinion that the terms of the issuance as negotiated and agreed with Qualifying Investors are at arm’s length, and that, having taken prevailing market conditions into account that the commercial and technical terms and features of the Preference Shares are typically associated with such instruments in the South African market.

3.1.2.3 The Preference Shares are intended to be issued to Qualifying Investors. The Preference Share Underwriters and Roodt have indicated they will participate in the Preference Share Issue, subject to the approval of other Stellar Capital shareholders at the General Meeting and provided that Stellar Capital has procured a fairness opinion from an independent expert in accordance with the Listings Requirements, and that the independent expert has confirmed that the issue of the Preference Shares is fair insofar as the Stellar Capital shareholders are concerned. Participants and their associates will be precluded from voting on the resolutions relating to the Preference Share Issue, to the extent that they hold shares in the Company prior to the General Meeting.

3.1.2.4 The Preference Shares will have the Voting Rights set out in Annexure 4 of this Circular read with the MOI. The Preference Shares will have no other voting rights. Upon Conversion, the ordinary shares into which the Preference Shares convert will rank pari passu with the other ordinary shares in all respects, including in respect of voting rights.

3.1.2.5 The Company will not apply for a listing of the Preference Shares on the JSE at this stage but may do so within six months of the date of their issue.

3.1.2.6 The creation of the Preference Shares, as a change to the authorised share capital of the Company, will become effective on the date on which the required resolutions amending the MOI are filed with CIPC.

3.1.3 Salient features of the Conversion Terms

3.1.3.1 If a Preference Shareholder elects to exercise its Conversion Rights pursuant to the Conversion Terms, the Preference Shares will automatically convert into the required number of ordinary shares, which will be delivered to the relevant Preference Shareholders as soon as possible and in any event within 15 business days after the Conversion Date (as defined in the Conversion Terms), which at an initial conversion price, will be at a premium no less than 20% to the closing ordinary share trading price the day before the Book‑build. The ordinary shares into which the Preference Shares convert (or the ordinary shares issued upon conversion in the event that the Preference Shares are incapable of automatic conversion) will rank pari passu with the ordinary shares already in issue.

3.1.3.2 The proposed Preference Share Terms provide for certain market standard Conversion Price adjustment events. These adjustment events will only be triggered on certain actions by the Company which would have a material impact

16

on the attributable value per share, including, inter alia, discounted rights issues and distributions. An adjustment event would therefore have an impact on the Conversion Price and consequent number of Conversion Shares. However, the Conversion Price adjustments will serve only to put the Preference Shareholders in the same effective economic position as that which the Preference Shareholders were on at the time of subscription for the Preference Shares. Details of the Conversion mechanics and Conversion Price adjustment events have been included in Annexure 4 of this Circular.

3.1.3.3 Stellar Capital shareholders are accordingly requested to approve the specific authority for the Board to allot and issue 600 Preference Shares.

3.1.4 Underwriting

3.1.4.1 In terms of the Preference Share Underwriting Agreements, the Preference Share Underwriters have agreed to subscribe for the Preference Share Issue in full. Details of the commitments of the Preference Share Underwriters are contained in the table below:

Name of Underwriter

Maximum amount

Thunder R100 000 000 100 20.002

TOTAL R600 000 000 600 100.00

1. If the Arranger, has procured subscriptions from third parties other than Shanike, Titan or Thunder, which offers for subscription are accepted by Stellar Capital, for less than R100 000 000 (the “Shortfall”), then Shanike shall subscribe and pay for the underwritten Preference Shares in the aggregate amount of such Shortfall (“Shortfall Shares”); plus 40% of the balance of the underwritten Preference Shares, after subscription and payment by Shanike of the Shortfall Shares, if any, subject to a maximum subscription of 300 underwritten Preference Shares, being R300 000 000 at the Issue Price.

2. Represents respectively 40% and 20% of the balance of the underwritten Preference Shares after subscription and payment by Shanike of the Shortfall Shares, if any (see note 1 above).

3. Certain of the Preference Share Underwriting Agreements are subject to conditions as disclosed in the agreements which are available for inspection per paragraph 19 of this Circular.

3.1.4.2 In terms of the Preference Share Underwriting Agreements, the Company will pay underwriting fees to the Preference Share Underwriters of 1% of the amount underwritten upon fulfilment of the underwriting and subscription commitment of the Preference Share Underwriter.

3.1.4.3 The Preference Share Underwriters have satisfied the Board that they are able to fulfil their commitments in terms of the Preference Share Underwriting Agreements.

3.1.4.4 Further particulars of the Preference Share Underwriting Agreements will be contained in the Offering Circular.

3.1.5 Authority of the directors to issue Preference Shares

3.1.5.1 In terms of paragraph 10 of the MOI, the directors are required to obtain the approval of Stellar Capital shareholders in order to be able to allot and issue the authorised share capital of the Company.

3.1.5.2 Consequently, Stellar Capital shareholders are requested to provide the requisite authority to the directors to issue the Preference Shares at the Issue Price in order for the Company to raise R600 000 000.

3.1.5.3 The Offering Circular in relation to the Preference Share Issue will be sent to select investors participating in the private placement of the Preference Shares. Results of the private placement will be released on SENS and the Offering Circular will also be made available on the Company’s website, www.stellarcapitalpartners.co.za.

17

3.1.6 Conditions precedent

The Preference Share Issue is subject to the fulfilment of the condition that all requisite Stellar Capital shareholder and regulatory approvals have been obtained relating to the increase in the authorised ordinary share capital, the creation and issuing of the Preference Shares, the amendment of the MOI, the authority to issue the Preference Shares, and, to the extent applicable, the issue of Preference Shares to related parties of the Company and a fair fairness opinion for issues to related parties.

3.1.7 Categorisation and regulatory approvals

It is anticipated that some of the parties to whom the Preference Shares may be issued will be related parties and directors of Stellar Capital. Accordingly, the notice attached to this Circular contains resolutions seeking the approval of Stellar Capital shareholders to authorise the issuing of the Preference Shares to such related parties and directors of Stellar Capital, to the extent exercised. Qualifying Investors, related parties and their associates who will participate in the Preference Share Issue will be precluded from voting on those resolutions pertaining to the issue of Preference Shares.

3.1.8 Fairness opinion

In terms of the Listings Requirements, any issue of convertible securities to a related party or director is subject to a fairness opinion being obtained from an independent expert acceptable to the JSE. Consequently, to the extent that the Preference Shares are issued to related parties of Stellar Capital (including the Preference Share Underwriters), this will be subject to the Board obtaining such a fairness opinion, and that the fairness opinion confirms that such issue is fair insofar as Stellar Capital shareholders is concerned.

3.2 Rights issue

3.2.1 Rationale

3.2.1.1 The Company intends to raise R400 000 000 through the Rights Issue.

3.2.1.2 The purpose of the Rights Issue is to complete the stated Capital Raise and to provide an option to the existing shareholders to follow their rights and further participate in the continued growth of the Company.

3.2.1.3 The proceeds of the Rights Issue together with the proceeds of the Preference Share Issue, will provide the Company with sufficient capital to fund the debt and equity investments in its immediate pipeline, as well as certain identified strategic acquisitions targeted for 2016.

3.2.1.4 The terms of the Rights Issue will be detailed in the finalisation announcement which is expected to be announced on or about 3 November 2015.

3.3 Exchange control regulations

3.3.1 Foreign shareholders

3.3.1.1 The Capital Raise may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdiction of a foreign shareholder. A foreign shareholder should acquaint itself with and observe any applicable legal requirements of such jurisdiction in relation to all aspects of this Circular that may affect it. It is the responsibility of each foreign shareholder to satisfy itself as to the full observance of the laws and regulatory requirements of the relevant jurisdiction in connection with the Capital Raise, including the obtaining of any governmental, exchange control or other consents, the making of any filings which may be required, the compliance with other necessary formalities and the payment of any taxes or other requisite payments due in such jurisdiction.

3.3.1.2 The Capital Raise is governed by the laws of South Africa and is subject to any applicable laws and regulations, including the Exchange Control Regulations.

3.3.1.3 Any shareholder who is in doubt as to its position, including, without limitation, its tax status, should consult an appropriate independent professional adviser in the relevant jurisdiction without delay.

18

3.3.2 Exchange control regulations

3.3.2.1 The following is a summary of the Exchange Control Regulations. It is intended as a guide only and is not a comprehensive statement of the Exchange Control Regulations which apply to the investors and shareholders participating in the Capital Raise (referred to as “Participants” for the purpose of this paragraph). Participants who have any queries regarding the Exchange Control Regulations should contact their own professional advisers without delay.

3.3.3 Residents of the common monetary area

3.3.3.1 In the case of:

3.3.3.1.1 Participants with “own name” holding whose registered addresses in the Company’s share register are within the common monetary area and whose relevant Stellar Capital shares are not restrictively endorsed in terms of the Exchange Control Regulations, will have their relevant shares in terms of the Capital Raise, posted to them; or

3.3.3.1.2 Participants whose relevant Stellar Capital shares are held by CSDPs or stockbrokers on their behalf as nominees and whose registered addresses in the sub‑register managed by CSDPs or stockbrokers are within the common monetary area and whose accounts with their CSDP or stockbroker have not been restrictively designated in terms of the Exchange Control Regulations, will have their relevant shares in terms of the Capital Raise, reflect in the account nominated for the relevant Participant’s by their duly appointed CSDP or stockbroker in terms of the provisions of the custody agreement with their CSDP or stockbroker.

3.3.4 Emigrants from the Common Monetary Area

3.3.4.1 A Participant holding dematerialised Stellar Capital shares who is an emigrant whose registration has been marked as an “emigrant” will have their relevant shares in terms of the Capital Raise, credited to their emigrant blocked share accounts at the CSDP controlling their blocked portfolios.

3.3.4.2 A Participant with certificated Stellar Capital shares who is an emigrant whose registered address is outside the common monetary area and whose relevant Stellar Capital shares have been restrictively endorsed under the Exchange Control Regulations will, against delivery of the Participant’s relevant shares in terms of the Capital Raise, have their shares similarly endorsed “emigrant” and sent to the authorised dealer controlling the blocked assets of the emigrant Participant.

3.3.4.3 In terms of a recent relaxation to the exchange control rulings, emigrants may externalise the consideration by making application to the Financial Surveillance Department of the South African Reserve Bank via the requisite authorised dealer channel. Previously, a 10% levy would have been payable on externalisation. This is however no longer the position and the consideration may, on application, be externalised free of the levy.

3.3.5 Non-residents of the Common Monetary Area

3.3.5.1 A Participant who is a non‑resident of South Africa who is reflected as having a registered address outside the common monetary area and whose relevant shares are in dematerialised form that have been restrictively endorsed under the Exchange Control Regulations will have its relevant shares credited to the share account at the CSDP controlling the Participant’s portfolio.

3.3.5.2 A Participant who is a non‑resident of South Africa who is reflected as having a registered address is outside the common monetary area and whose relevant shares are in certificated form that have been restrictively endorsed under the Exchange Control Regulations will have its shares forwarded to the authorised

19

dealer in foreign exchange in South Africa nominated by such holder. It will be incumbent on the Participant concerned to instruct the nominated authorised dealer as to the disposal of the relevant shares, against delivery of the relevant shares in terms of the Capital Raise. It will be incumbent on the Participant concerned to instruct the nominated authorised dealer as to the acceptance of the shares, against delivery of the relevant shares.

3.3.5.3 Should any cash consideration become payable to an emigrant or non‑resident of South Africa, such amount will be forwarded to the authorised dealer in foreign exchange controlling such Participant’s assets for credit to the Participant’s blocked accounts.

3.4 Amendments to the MOI and share capital

3.4.1 Rationale and salient terms

The Board proposes that the MOI be amended to reflect the increase in the authorised ordinary share capital of the Company and the creation of the Preference Shares in accordance with the amendments contained in Annexure 3.

The increase in the ordinary shares and the creation of the Preference Shares will enable the Company to raise additional capital with which to make further investments that create value for shareholders.

In accordance with the Listings Requirements, the proposed amended MOI has been approved by the JSE.

3.4.2 Conditions precedent

3.4.2.1 The amendment of the MOI is subject to:

3.4.2.1.1 approval by shareholders being obtained; and

3.4.2.1.2 filing of the requisite resolutions effecting the amendment of the MOI with CIPC.

3.5 Addendum to the Management Agreement

3.5.1 Rationale

ManCo was established to incentivise the management of Stellar Capital and specifically contain the fixed costs of the Company through the Management Agreement. The terms of the Management Agreement however, could be perceived to be onerous and accordingly, the Company and the shareholders of ManCo have agreed to amend the terms.

Under the proposed new terms, the overall fee structure will be reduced, with performance fees being subject to return hurdles and high water marks. ManCo will also be incentivised to focus on growth in net asset value per share rather than growth of the net asset value of the Company.

3.5.2 Salient terms of the amendments to Management Agreement

The salient terms of the ManCo Addendum are detailed in Annexure 5 of this Circular.

3.5.3 Conditions precedent and regulatory approvals

The Management Agreement was approved by Stellar Capital shareholders at a meeting on 16 January 2015. Whilst in the opinion of the Board, the Addendum provides for improved terms for shareholders and the Company, it does however still require Stellar Capital shareholder approval, in terms of the Listings Requirements.

ManCo and its associates will be precluded from voting on the resolution approving the ManCo Addendum.

4. PRO FORMA FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE PREFERENCE SHARE ISSUE

4.1 The table below sets out the pro forma financial effects of the Preference Share Issue and Conversion of Convertible Preference Shares (having taken the Cadiz Acquisition, the Digicore Disposal and Torre Acquisition into account) on Stellar Capital (“Transactions”).

4.2 The pro forma consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the six month period ended 31 May 2015 and pro forma consolidated statement of financial position at 31 May 2015, and taking into account the Transactions, have been prepared for illustrative purposes only, based on current information available to the directors, in order to provide information about the financial effects of the Transactions on the financial position of the Company. Due to its nature, the pro forma financial information may not fairly present the Company’s financial position, changes in equity and results of operations or cash flows after the Transaction, and are based on the assumptions that:

4.2.1 for the purpose of calculating earnings per share and headline earnings per share, the Transactions were implemented on 1 December 2014; and

4.2.2 for the purpose of calculating net asset value per share and net tangible asset value per share, the Transactions were implemented on 31 May 2015.

4.3 The pro forma financial information has been prepared using the most recent financial period of the Company for the unaudited six‑month period ended 31 May 2015 in terms of the Listings Requirements and guidelines issued by the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants.

4.4 The accounting policies of Stellar Capital have been used in calculating the pro forma financial effects. The accounting policies used are consistent with previous accounting policies used by Stellar Capital and the accounting policies herein have been applied on the same basis, save for the addition of a new accounting policy in respect the issue of Convertible Preference shares as follows:

4.5 Accounting policy with respect to convertible preference shares:

4.5.1 Convertible preference shares issued by the Group have been treated as compound financial instruments in accordance with IAS 32. The liability and equity components of the convertible preference shares have been separately classified as financial liabilities and equity instruments respectively in accordance with par 15 of IAS 32.

4.5.2 The carrying amount of the financial liability component of the compound instrument has been determined with reference to the fair value of a similar instrument that does not have an associated equity conversion right. The carrying amount of the equity component of the compound financial instrument has been determined by deducting the fair value of the financial liability component from the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole.

4.6 The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the pro forma financial information contained in this Circular.

21

4.7 The detailed pro forma financial information and notes thereto as a result of the Preference Share Issue is contained in Annexure 1 to this Circular. The Independent Reporting Accountants’ limited assurance report on the pro forma financial information is set out in Annexure 2 to this Circular.

Notes and assumptions:

The amounts set out in the “Before” column have been extracted from the “After the Transaction Pro Forma” column of Annexure 1 of the circular to Stellar Capital shareholders dated 4 September 2015 which includes the pro forma financial effects effect of the Cadiz Acquisition, Digicore Disposal and Torre Acquisition (as defined in this Circular) based on the unaudited interim results of the Company for the six months ended 31 May 2015, as published on SENS on 31 July 2015.

1. Preference Share issue:

The issue of 600 Preference Shares at nominal value of R1 000 000 per share for a total consideration of R600 000 000. Preference Share dividends are settled semi‑annually at 95% of the Prime Rate. The Preference Shares are convertible into ordinary shares on or before three and a half years after their issue date at the instance of the holders thereof at an initial conversion price which will be at a premium no lower than 20% to the closing ordinary share price the day before the Book‑build. The conversion price has herein been assumed to be R2.40 per share, which represents a 20% premium to the reference price of R2.00 per share. The maximum number of ordinary shares to be issued under the Conversion Terms is 250 000 000 at R2.40.

The issue of the Preference Shares has not been treated as dilutive in calculating diluted earnings and headline earnings per shares as the conversion thereof will result in a decrease in loss per share from continuing operations (i.e. the conversion is antidilutive) in accordance with par 41 of IAS 33. The impact of the Preference Share issue on the statement of financial position is that it results in an increase in cash and cash equivalents of R600 million, an increase in non‑distributable reserves (equity balance) of R32 437 000, and an increase in Other Financial Liabilities in the amount of R567 563 000 in accordance with par 15 of IAS 32. A discount rate of 115% of Prime Rate was used to discount the cash flows attributable to the compound instrument over its 3 and a half year maturity term with payment of semi‑annual preference share dividends in the amount of R27 075 000, in order to calculate the fair value of a similar instrument with no conversion rights in accordance with the accounting policy stated above.

The impact of the Preference Share Issue on the statement of comprehensive income is that, for the six months ended 31 May 2015, management fees in the amount of R162 000 (calculated as 1% of net asset value in accordance with the amendments proposed in paragraph 5.7.2 of this Circular), transactions costs of R12 326 140 and finance costs of R31 003 000 would have been recognised in profit or loss from continuing operations attributable to equity holders of the parent.

2. It has been assumed that the Transactions were implemented on 31 May 2015 for purposes of compiling the statement of financial position and on 1 December 2014 for purposes of compiling the statement of comprehensive income.

3. Tax consequences in relation to the Transactions have been taken into account.

4. All adjustments, other than transaction costs described above, will have a continuing effect. This is a direct result of the fact that the management fee expense is determined with reference to the net asset value of Stellar Capital in accordance with paragraph 3 of Annexure 2 of this Circular. As a result of this any change in the net asset value will have an impact on the management fee expense.

ANNEXURE 1

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE PREFERENCE SHARE ISSUE

The table below sets out the pro forma financial effects of the Preference Share Issue and Conversion of Convertible Preference Shares (having taken the Cadiz Acquisition, the Digicore Disposal and Torre Acquisition into account) on Stellar Capital (“Transactions”).

The pro forma consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the six‑month period ended 31 May 2015 and pro forma consolidated statement of financial position at 31 May 2015 have been prepared for illustrative purposes only, based on current information available to management, in order to provide information about the financial results and position of the Company. Due to its nature, the pro forma financial information may not fairly present the Company’s financial position, changes in equity and results of operations or cash flows after the Transaction, and are based on the assumptions that:• for the purpose of calculating earnings per share and headline earnings per share, the Transactions were

implemented on 1 December 2014; and• for the purpose of calculating net asset value per share and net tangible asset value per share, the

Transactions were implemented on 31 May 2015.

The pro forma financial information has been prepared using the most recent financial period of the Company for the unaudited six‑month period ended 31 May 2015 in terms of the Listings Requirements and guidelines issued by the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants.

The accounting policies of Stellar Capital have been used in calculating the pro forma financial effects. The accounting policies used are consistent with previous accounting policies used by Stellar Capital and the accounting policies herein have been applied on the same basis, save for the addition of a new accounting policy in respect the issue of Convertible Preference shares as follows:

Accounting policy with respect to convertible preference shares:• Convertible preference shares issued by the Group have been treated as compound financial instruments

in accordance with IAS 32. The liability and equity components of the convertible preference shares have been separately classified as financial liabilities and equity instruments respectively in accordance with par 15 of IAS 32.

• The carrying amount of the financial liability component of the compound instrument has been determined with reference to the fair value of a similar instrument that does not have an associated equity conversion right. The carrying amount of the equity component of the compound financial instrument has been determined by deducting the fair value of the financial liability component from the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole.

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the pro forma financial information contained in this Circular.

The Independent Reporting Accountants’ limited assurance report on the pro forma financial information is set out in Annexure 2 to this Circular.

The issue of 600 Preference Shares at nominal value of R1 000 000 per share for a total consideration of R600 000 000. Preference Share dividends are settled semi‑annually at 95% of the Prime Rate. The Preference Shares are convertible into ordinary shares on or before three and a half years after their issue date at the instance of the holders thereof at an initial conversion price which will be at a premium no lower than 20% to the closing ordinary share price the day before the Book‑build. The conversion price has herein been assumed to be R2.40 per share, which represents a 20% premium to the reference price of R2.00 per share. The maximum number of ordinary shares to be issued under the Conversion Terms is 250 000 000 at R2.40 per share.

The issue of the Preference Shares has not been treated as dilutive in calculating diluted earnings and headline earnings per shares as the conversion thereof will result in a decrease in loss per share from continuing operations (i.e. the conversion is antidilutive) in accordance with par 41 of IAS 33. The impact of the Preference Share issue on the statement of financial position is that it results in an increase in cash and cash equivalents of R600 million, an increase in non‑distributable reserves (equity balance) of R32 437 000, and an increase in Other Financial Liabilities in the amount of R567 563 000 million in accordance with par 15 of IAS 32. A discount rate of 115% of Prime Rate was used to discount the cash flows attributable to the compound instrument over its 3 and a half year maturity term with payment of semi‑annual preference share dividends in the amount of R27.07 million, in order to calculate the fair value of a similar instrument with no conversion rights in accordance with the accounting policy stated above.

The impact of the Preference Share Issue on the statement of comprehensive income is that, for the six months ended 31 May 2015, management fees in the amount of R162 000 000 (calculated as 1% of net asset value in accordance with the amendments proposed in paragraph 5.7.2 of this Circular), transactions costs of R12 326 140 and finance costs of R31 003 000 would have been recognised in profit or loss from continuing operations attributable to equity holders of the parent.

2. It has been assumed that the Transactions were implemented on 31 May 2015 for purposes of compiling the statement of financial position and on 1 December 2014 for purposes of compiling the statement of comprehensive income.

3. Tax consequences in relation to the Transactions have been taken into account.

4. All adjustments, other than transaction costs described above, will have a continuing effect. This is a direct result of the fact that the management fee expense is determined with reference to the net asset value of Stellar Capital in accordance with paragraph 3 of Annexure 2 of this Circular. As a result of this any change in the net asset value will have an impact on the management fee expense.

Dear Sirs

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE COMPILATION OF THE PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF STELLAR CAPITAL PARTNERS LIMITED (“STELLAR CAPITAL” OR “THE COMPANY”)

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of the pro forma financial information of Stellar Capital Partners Limited by the directors. The pro forma financial information, as set out in paragraph 4 and Annexure 1 of the circular to Stellar Capital shareholders to be issued on or about 22 October 2015 (“the circular”), consists of the pro forma statement of financial position, the pro forma statement of comprehensive income and related notes. The pro forma financial information has been compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria specified in the JSE Limited (“JSE”) Listings Requirements.

The pro forma financial information has been compiled by the directors to illustrate the impact of the Preference Share Issue as described in the circular, on the Company’s financial position as at 31 May 2015, and the Company’s financial performance for the period then ended, as if the transaction had taken place at 31 May 2015 for purposes of the pro forma statement of financial position and at 01 December 2014 for the purposes of the pro forma statement of comprehensive income. As part of this process, information about the Company’s financial position and financial performance has been extracted by the directors from the Company’s published interim financial information for the six months ended 31 May 2015.

Responsibilities

Directors’ responsibility for the Pro Forma Financial Information

The directors are responsible for compiling the pro forma financial information on the basis of the applicable criteria specified in the JSE Listings Requirements and described in paragraph 11 and Annexure 1 of the Circular.

Reporting accountants’ responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion about whether the pro forma financial information has been compiled, in all material respects, by the directors on the basis specified in the JSE Listings Requirements based on our procedures performed. We conducted our engagement in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3420, Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Circular which is applicable to an engagement of this nature. This standard requires that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform our procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the pro forma financial information has been compiled, in all material respects, on the basis specified in the JSE Listings Requirements.

For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial information.

As the purpose of pro forma financial information included in a circular is solely to illustrate the impact of a significant corporate action or event on unadjusted financial information of the entity as if the corporate action or event had occurred or had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the event or transaction would have been as presented.

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the pro forma financial information has been compiled, in all material respects, on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used in the compilation of the pro forma financial information provides a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the corporate action or event, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:• the related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and• the pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted

financial information.

Our procedures selected depend on our judgement, having regard to our understanding of the nature of the Company, the corporate action or event in respect of which the pro forma financial information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.

Our engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the pro forma financial information. We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the pro forma financial information has been compiled, in all material respects, on the basis of the applicable criteria specified by the JSE Listings Requirements and described in paragraph 4 and Annexure 1 of the Circular.

Consent

This report on the pro forma financial information is included solely for the information of the Stellar Capital shareholders. We consent to the inclusion of our report on the pro forma financial information, and the references thereto, in the form and context in which they appear in the circular.

3. CONVERSION OF PREFERENCE SHARES

3.1 Conversion Period and Conversion Price

3.1.1 Subject to any right that may be afforded the Issuer to elect to satisfy the exercise of Conversion Rights by making a cash payment, or procuring that such payment is made on its behalf, or as otherwise provided in these Conversion Terms, each Preference Share shall entitle the Holder to convert such Preference Share into new Ordinary Shares credited as fully paid (“Conversion Right”).

3.1.2 Subject to the provisions of Condition 3.1.4, the number of Ordinary Shares into which the Preference Shares will convert upon the exercise of a Conversion Right shall be determined by dividing the Issue Price of the Preference Shares to be converted by the conversion price (“Conversion Price”) in effect on the relevant Conversion Date.

3.1.3 The Conversion Price as at the Issue Date is the Base Conversion Price. The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment in the circumstances described in Condition 3.2.

3.1.4 A Holder may exercise the Conversion Right in respect of a Preference Share that has not already been redeemed by delivering the Certificate, if any, in respect of such Preference Share to the Specified Office of the Conversion Agent in accordance with Condition 3.9 whereupon the Issuer shall (subject as provided in these Conversion Terms) procure the conversion of such Preference Share into the relevant number of Ordinary Shares as provided in this Condition 3.

3.1.5 Subject to and as provided in these Conversion Terms, the Conversion Right in respect of a Preference Share may be exercised, at the option of the Holder thereof, at any time (subject to any applicable fiscal or other laws or regulations and as hereinafter provided) from such date as is set out in the Board Determination to the close of business (at the place where the relevant Preference Share is delivered for conversion) on the date falling 10 (ten) Business Days prior to the Final Scheduled Redemption Date (both days inclusive) or, if such Preference Share is to be redeemed as a consequence of the happening of an Adjustment Event prior to the Final Scheduled Redemption Date, then up to the close of business (at the place aforesaid) on the 10th (tenth) Business Day before the date fixed for redemption thereof as a consequence of the happening of such Adjustment Event, unless there shall be a default in making payment in respect of such Preference Share on such date fixed for redemption, in which event the Conversion Right shall extend up to the close of business (at the place aforesaid) on the date on which the full amount of such payment becomes available for payment and notice of such availability has been duly or, if earlier, the Final Scheduled Redemption Date, provided that, in each case, if the final such date for the exercise of Conversion Rights is not a Business Day, then the period for exercise of Conversion Rights by Holders shall end on the immediately preceding Business Day.

3.1.6 Conversion Rights may not be exercised:

3.1.6.1 following the giving of notice by a Holder requiring the early redemption of any Preference Share; or

3.1.6.2 in circumstances where the relevant Conversion Date would fall during the period commencing on the Last Day to Trade in respect of any payment of the Preference Dividend on the Preference Shares and ending on the relevant Dividend Date (both days inclusive).

3.1.7 The period during which Conversion Rights may (subject as provided below) be exercised by a Holder as set out in Conditions 3.1.5 and 3.1.6 is the “Conversion Period”.

3.1.8 Conversion Rights may only be exercised in respect of the whole of a Preference Share.

45

3.1.9 A Holder will not be entitled to a fraction of an Ordinary Share and no cash payment or other adjustment will be made in lieu thereof. Any fractions of Ordinary Shares will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Ordinary Shares. However, if the Conversion Rights in respect of more than one Preference Share are exercised at any one time, the number of Ordinary Shares into which the Preference Shares convert shall be calculated on the basis of the aggregate Issue Price of such Preference Shares being so converted and rounded down to the nearest whole number of Ordinary Shares.

3.1.10 Any Additional Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to Condition 3.3 will be deemed to be issued or delivered as of the relevant Reference Date.

3.2 Adjustment of Conversion Price

3.2.1 Upon the happening of any of the events described below, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted as follows:

3.2.1.1 Consolidation or subdivision

If and whenever there shall be a consolidation or subdivision in relation to the Ordinary Shares, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately prior to such consolidation or subdivision by the following fraction:

AB

where:

A is the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately before such consolidation or subdivision, as the case may be; and

B is the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately after, and as a result of, such consolidation or subdivision, as the case may be.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the date the consolidation or subdivision, as the case may be, takes effect.

3.2.1.2 Capitalisation of profits

If and whenever the Issuer shall issue any Ordinary Shares credited as fully paid to the Shareholders by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves other than (i) where any such Ordinary Shares are or are to be issued instead of the whole or part of a Distribution in cash which the Shareholders would or could otherwise have elected to receive or (ii) where the Shareholders may elect to receive a Distribution in cash in lieu of such Ordinary Shares, or (iii) where any such Ordinary Shares are or are expressed to be issued in lieu of a Distribution (whether or not a cash Distribution equivalent or amount is announced or would otherwise be payable to Shareholders, whether at their election or otherwise), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately prior to such issue by the following fraction:

AB

where:

A is the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately before such issue; and

B is the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately after such issue.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of issue of such Ordinary Shares.

46

3.2.1.3 Non-Cash Distribution

If and whenever the Issuer shall pay or make any Non‑Cash Distribution to the Shareholders, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately prior to the Effective Date (contemplated in Conditions 1.31.1.2 and 1.31.2) by the following fraction:

A – B A

where:

A is the Current Market Price of 1 (one) Ordinary Share on the Dealing Day immediately preceding the Effective Date; and

B is the portion of the Fair Market Value of the aggregate Non‑Cash Distribution attributable to 1 (one) Ordinary Share, with such portion being determined by dividing the Fair Market Value of the aggregate Non‑Cash Distribution by the number of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive the relevant Non‑Cash Distribution (or, in the case of a purchase, redemption or buy back of Ordinary Shares or any depositary or other receipts or certificates representing Ordinary Shares by or on behalf of the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer, by the number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately following such purchase, redemption or buy back).

Such adjustment shall become effective on the Effective Date or, if later, the first date upon which the Fair Market Value of the relevant Non‑Cash Distribution is capable of being determined as provided herein.

3.2.1.4 Cash Distributions

3.2.1.4.1 If and whenever the Issuer shall pay any Cash Distributions to the Shareholders where the Effective Date falls on or after the Issue Date and prior to the Final Scheduled Redemption Date, the Conversion Price shall, unless the Issuer makes a Pass Through Election as described in Condition 3.3 and pays the Additional Preference Dividend, be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately prior to the Effective Date (contemplated in Condition 1.31.1.1) by the following fraction:

A – B A

where:

A is the Current Market Price of 1 (one) Ordinary Share on the Effective Date; and

B is the aggregate Cash Distribution attributable to 1 (one) Ordinary Share, with such portion being determined by dividing the aggregate Cash Distribution by the number of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive the Cash Distribution.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the Effective Date.

3.2.1.4.2 For the purposes of this Condition 3.2.1.4, Fair Market Value shall (subject as provided in 1.29.1 of the definition of “Distribution” and in the definition of “Fair Market Value”) be determined as at the Effective Date (contemplated in Condition 1.31.1).

3.2.1.4.3 In making any calculations for the purposes of this Condition 3.2.1.4, such adjustments (if any) shall be made as an Independent Financial Adviser may determine in good faith to be appropriate to reflect (i) any consolidation or sub‑division of any Ordinary Shares or the issue of Ordinary Shares by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves (or any

47

like or similar event) or any increase in the number of Ordinary Shares in issue in relation to the financial year of the Issuer in question, (ii) any change in the financial year of the Issuer, or (iii) any adjustment to the Conversion Price made in financial year of the Issuer in question.

3.2.1.5 Rights, options or other rights: Ordinary Shares

If and whenever the Issuer shall issue Ordinary Shares to Shareholders as a class by way of rights or issue or grant to Shareholders as a class by way of rights, options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any Ordinary Shares, in each case at a price per Ordinary Share which is less than 95% (ninety five percent) of the Current Market Price per Ordinary Share on the Effective Date, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force on the Dealing Day immediately prior to the Effective Date (contemplated in Condition 1.31.1.3) by the following fraction:

A + BA + C

where:

A is the number of Ordinary Shares in issue on the Dealing Day immediately preceding the Effective Date;

B is the number of Ordinary Shares, which is the aggregate consideration (if any) receivable for the Ordinary Shares issued by way of rights, or for the options or warrants or other rights issued by way of rights and for the total number of Ordinary Shares deliverable on the exercise thereof, would purchase at such Current Market Price per Ordinary Share; and

C is the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued or, as the case may be, the maximum number of Ordinary Shares to be issued which may be issued upon exercise of such options, warrants or rights calculated as at the date of issue of such options, warrants or rights.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the Effective Date (contemplated in Condition 1.31.1.3).

3.2.1.6 Other securities

3.2.1.6.1 If and whenever the Issuer shall issue any securities (other than Ordinary Shares or options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any Ordinary Shares) to Shareholders as a class by way of rights or grant to Shareholders as a class by way of rights any options, warrants or other right to subscribe for or purchase any Securities (other than Ordinary Shares or options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately prior to the Effective Date (contemplated in Condition 1.31.1.4) by the following fraction:

A – B A

where:

A is the Current Market Price of 1 (one) Ordinary Share immediately preceding the Effective Date; and

B is the Fair Market Value on the Effective Date of the portion of the rights attributable to 1 (one) Ordinary Share.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the Effective Date (contemplated in Condition 1.31.1.4).

A + BA + C

where:

A is the number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately before the issue of such Ordinary Shares or the grant of such options, warrants or rights; and

Securities, or upon the exercise of such rights or subscription attached thereto or, as the case may be, upon exercise of such options, warrants or rights and (z) the consideration receivable or price per Ordinary Share upon the conversion or exchange of, or upon the exercise of such rights of subscription attached to, such Securities or, as the case may be, upon the exercise of such options, warrants or rights shall be the aggregate consideration or price referred to in (x) or (y) above (as the case may be) divided by the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued upon such conversion or exchange or exercise at the initial conversion, exchange or subscription price or rate; and

3.2.3.3 in determining the consideration or price pursuant to the above, no deduction shall be made for any commissions or fees (howsoever described) or any expenses paid or incurred for any underwriting, placing or management of the issue of the relevant Ordinary Shares or Securities or options, warrants or rights, or otherwise in connection therewith.

3.3 Additional Preference Dividends: Pass Through Election

3.3.1 If and whenever the Issuer shall pay any Cash Distributions to the Shareholders where the Effective Date falls on or after the Issue Date and prior to the Final Scheduled Redemption Date, then, as an alternative to making an adjustment to the Conversion Price as contemplated in Condition 3.2.1.4.1, the Issuer shall be entitled, at its option and subject to having obtained all relevant consents and approvals, to pay additional Preference Dividends to a Holder calculated in accordance with Condition 3.3.2.2 (“Additional Preference Dividend”), by making an election, described as a pass through election (“Pass Through Election”) in respect of any Cash Distribution by giving notice to the Holders by not later than 10 (ten) days prior to the Effective Date (contemplated in Condition 1.31.1.1).

3.3.2 If the Issuer makes a Pass Through Election in respect of any Cash Distribution, then:

3.3.2.1 no adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price in terms of Condition 3.2.1.4.1; and

3.3.2.2 the Additional Preference Dividend in respect of each Preference Share shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula:

APD = A x B

where:

APD = the Additional Preference Dividend payable in respect of each Preference Share;

A = PA divided by CP, rounded down, if necessary, to 4 (four) decimal places (with 0.00005 being rounded down);

PA = ZAR1 000 000 (one million Rand);

CP = the Conversion Price in effect on the Effective Date; and

B = the portion of the Fair Market Value of the aggregate Cash Distribution attributable to 1 (one) Ordinary Share (with such portion being determined by dividing the Fair Market Value of the aggregate Cash Distribution by the number of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive the Cash Distribution).

3.3.3 For the purposes of any such calculation, the provisions of Conditions 3.2.1.4.2 and 3.2.1.4.3 and shall apply mutatis mutandis.

3.3.4 An Additional Preference Dividend shall be paid in respect of each Preference Share where the Effective Date in respect of the Cash Distribution falls on or prior to the Final Scheduled Redemption Date or any earlier due date for redemption of such Preference Share and, in respect of a Preference Share in respect of which Conversion Rights are or shall have been exercised, where the Effective Date in respect of the Cash Distribution falls on or prior to the relevant Conversion Date, unless in such case the record date or other due date for establishment in respect of the Cash Distribution falls on or after such Conversion Date

53

with the result that the relevant Holder shall be entitled to receive such Cash Distribution in respect of the Ordinary Shares to be issued on conversion by virtue of Condition 3.11.

3.3.5 Additional Preference Dividends shall be paid to Holders by not later than the date on which the Cash Distribution is to be paid to Shareholders.

3.3.6 For the avoidance of doubt, any payment of an Additional Preference Dividend shall be calculated by reference to the gross amount of the Cash Distribution.

3.4 Retroactive Adjustments

If the Registration Date in relation to the conversion of any Preference Share shall be after the record date in respect of any consolidation or sub‑division as is mentioned in Condition 3.2.1.1, or after the record date or other due date for the establishment of entitlement for any such issue, distribution, grant or offer (as the case may be) as is mentioned in Conditions 3.2.1.2, 3.2.1.3, 3.2.1.4, 3.2.1.6 or 3.2.1.11, or after any such issue or grant as is mentioned in Conditions 3.2.1.7 and 3.2.1.8, in circumstances where the relevant Conversion Date falls before the relevant adjustment (if any) to the Conversion Price becomes effective under Condition 3.2 (such adjustment, a “Retroactive Adjustment”), then the Issuer shall (conditional upon the relevant adjustment becoming effective) procure that there shall be issued to the converting Holder, in accordance with the instructions contained in the Conversion Notice, such additional number of Ordinary Shares (if any) (“Additional Ordinary Shares”) as, together with the Ordinary Shares issued on conversion of the relevant Preference Share (together with any fraction of an Ordinary Share not so issued), is equal to the number of Ordinary Shares which would have been required to be issued on conversion of such Preference Share if the relevant adjustment to the Conversion Price had been made and become effective immediately prior to the relevant Conversion Date; provided that in the case of a Retroactive Adjustment arising in respect of any such consolidation, the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued to the relevant Holder shall be reduced to that number of Ordinary Shares into which the Preference Shares would have converted if the relevant adjustment to the Conversion Price had been made and become effective immediately prior to the relevant Conversion Date.

3.5 Decision of an Independent Financial Adviser

If any doubt shall arise as to whether an adjustment fails to be made to the Conversion Price or as to the appropriate adjustment to the Conversion Price, and following consultation between the Issuer and an Independent Financial Adviser, a written opinion of such Independent Financial Adviser in respect thereof shall be conclusive and binding on all parties, save in the case of manifest error.

3.6 Share or Option Schemes

No adjustment will be made to the Conversion Price where Ordinary Shares or other Securities (including rights, warrants and options) are issued, offered, exercised, allotted, appropriated, modified or granted to, or for the benefit of, employees or former employees (including directors of the Issuer holding or formerly holding executive office or the personal service company of any such person) or their spouses or relatives, in each case, of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries or any associated company or to a trustee or trustees to be held for the benefit of any such person, in any such case pursuant to any share or option scheme.

3.7 Rounding Down and Notice of Adjustment of Conversion Price

3.7.1 On any adjustment, the resultant Conversion Price, if not an integral multiple of ZAR0.01 (one cent), shall be rounded down to the nearest whole multiple of ZAR0.01 (one cent). No adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price where such adjustment (rounded down if applicable) would be less than 1% (one percent) of the Conversion Price then in effect. Any adjustment not required to be made and/or any amount by which the Conversion Price has been rounded down, shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment, and such subsequent adjustment shall be made on the basis that the adjustment not required to be made had been made at the relevant time and/or, as the case may be, that the relevant rounding down had not been made.

3.7.2 Notice of any adjustments to the Conversion Price shall be given by the Issuer to Holders promptly after the determination thereof.

54

3.7.3 The Issuer undertakes that it shall not take any action, and shall procure that no action is taken, that would otherwise result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price to below any minimum level permitted by Applicable Laws.

3.8 Change of Control

3.8.1 Within 14 (fourteen) days after the Issuer has become aware of a Change of Control, the Issuer shall give notice thereof to the Holders (“Change of Control Notice”). Such notice shall contain a statement informing Holders of their entitlement to exercise their Conversion Rights as provided in these Conversion Terms, and that failing such conversion within the Change of Control Period, that the Issuer will early redeem the Preference Shares.

3.8.2 The Change of Control Notice shall also specify:

3.8.2.1 all information material to Holders concerning the Change of Control;

3.8.2.2 the Conversion Price immediately prior to the occurrence of the Change of Control and the Conversion Price applicable pursuant to Condition 3.2 during the Change of Control Period on the basis of the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of the Change of Control;

3.8.2.3 the closing price of the Ordinary Shares as derived from the Relevant Stock Exchange as at the latest practicable date prior to the publication of the Change of Control Notice;

3.8.2.4 the last day of the Change of Control Period; and

3.8.2.5 such other information relating to the Change of Control as the Holders may reasonably require.

3.9 Procedure for exercise of Conversion Rights

3.9.1 Conversion Rights may be exercised by a Holder during the Conversion Period by delivering the Certificate, if any, in respect of relevant Preference Share to the Specified Office of the Conversion Agent, during its usual business hours, accompanied by a duly completed and signed notice of conversion (“Conversion Notice”) in the form (for the time being current) obtainable from the Conversion Agent. Only one Conversion Notice may be delivered by a Holder during each calendar month during the Conversion Period. Conversion Rights shall be exercised subject in each case to any applicable Tax, fiscal or other laws or regulations applicable in South Africa.

3.9.2 If such delivery is made after the end of normal business hours or on a day which is not a Business Day, such delivery shall be deemed for all purposes of these Terms and Conditions to have been made on the next following Business Day.

3.9.3 Conversion Rights may only be exercised in respect of a whole Preference Share. Where Conversion Rights are exercised in respect of some only of the Preference Shares represented by a single Certificate, the old Certificate shall be cancelled and a new Certificate for the balance thereof shall be issued in lieu thereof without charge but upon payment by the holder of any Taxes, duties and other governmental charges payable in connection therewith in the place of the Specified Office of the Transfer Agent, and the Transfer Agent will within 5 (five) Business Days following the relevant Conversion Date, deliver such new Certificate to the Holder at the Specified Office of the Transfer Agent or (at the risk and, if mailed (at the request of the Holder) otherwise than by ordinary mail, at the expense of the Holder) mail a new Certificate by uninsured mail to such address as the Holder may request.

3.9.4 A Conversion Notice, once delivered, shall be irrevocable.

3.9.5 The conversion date in respect of a Preference Share (“Conversion Date”) shall be the Business Day immediately following the date of the delivery of the Certificate in respect of the Preference Shares and the Conversion Notice, and (if applicable) the making of any payment to be made as provided in Condition 3.9.6.

55

3.9.6 A Holder exercising a Conversion Right must pay directly to the relevant authorities any Taxes that may be payable arising on conversion and redemption of a Preference Share and capital, stamp, issue and registration and transfer Taxes and duties arising on conversion of a Preference Share, provided that the Issuer shall be liable for any stamp duties, issue and registration and transfer Taxes and duties payable in South Africa in respect of the issue or transfer and delivery of any Ordinary Shares on such conversion (including any Additional Ordinary Shares). Such Holder must also pay all, if any, Taxes arising by reference to any disposal or deemed disposal of a Preference Share or the Preference Dividend thereon in connection with such conversion.

3.9.7 Ordinary Shares into which Preference Shares are converted will be delivered to the Holder in uncertificated form through the securities trading system operated by Strate Proprietary Limited (“Strate”), or any successor licensed clearance and settlement facility of Strate (applicable to the Ordinary Shares).

3.9.8 The Issuer will procure the delivery of the Ordinary Shares to the Strate account specified by the relevant Holder in the relevant Conversion Notice as soon as possible and in any event within 15 (fifteen) Business Days after the relevant Conversion Date (or, in the case of any Additional Ordinary Shares, not later than 15 (fifteen) Business Days following the Reference Date).

3.9.9 In addition, a Holder exercising Conversion Rights for delivery into Strate will be required to certify, represent and agree in the relevant Conversion Notice either:

3.9.9.1 that such Holder is not a resident of South Africa within the meaning of the Exchange Control Regulations 1961 (as may be amended from time to time) of South Africa promulgated under the Currency and Exchanges Act, 1933 (as  amended) of South Africa and that all exchange control approvals required under Applicable Laws of South Africa in connection with the exercise of Conversion Rights by such Holder have been obtained and are in full force and effect; or

3.9.9.2 that no exchange control approvals are required under Applicable Laws of South Africa in connection with the exercise of such Conversion Rights by such Holder upon such exercise,

and shall be required to provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer as to the applicability of 3.9.9.1 or 3.9.9.2, as the case may be. The Issuer will (if applicable) procure that the relevant Ordinary Shares are endorsed “Non Resident” for the purposes of South African exchange control laws and regulations.

3.10 Conversion mechanics

3.10.1 If a Holder exercises a Conversion Right pursuant to these Conversion Terms, the Preference Shares will automatically convert into the required number of Ordinary Shares on the Business Day that is 5 (five) Business Days after the Conversion Date. Should for any reason it not be competent or lawful for the Preference Shares to automatically convert into the required number of Ordinary Shares, then:

3.10.1.1 the Issuer has an obligation to redeem the Preference Shares in cash in an amount equal to the Issue Price of the Preference shares to be converted (“Cash Redemption Amount”), in addition to various other amounts comprising the Redemption Amount;

3.10.1.2 the Holder becomes obliged to pay a subscription price in cash to the Issuer in consideration for the Ordinary Shares to be allotted to it by the Issuer, in an amount equal to the Cash Redemption Amount;

3.10.1.3 on the Conversion Date the Issuer shall retain the Cash Redemption Amount, which shall discharge (i) the Issuer’s obligation in terms of Condition 3.10.1.1, and (ii) the Holder’s obligation in terms of Condition 3.10.1.2; and

3.10.1.4 the Issuer shall allot and issue the required number of Ordinary Shares (including any Additional Ordinary Shares) and register the relevant Holder (or its nominee) in the register of shareholders of the Issuer on the Business Day that is 5 (five) Business Days after the Conversion Date.

56

3.10.2 The Issuer shall remain liable for payment to the Holder of the other amounts comprising the Redemption Amount, other than the Issue Price.

3.11 Ranking

3.11.1 Ordinary Shares (or any Additional Ordinary Shares) upon conversion of the Preference Shares will be fully paid and will in all respects rank pari passu with the fully paid Ordinary Shares in issue on the relevant Registration Date, except in any such case for any right excluded by mandatory provisions of Applicable Law and except that such Ordinary Shares or, as the case may be, Additional Ordinary Shares will not rank for (or, as the case may be, the relevant Holder shall not be entitled to receive) any rights, distributions or payments, the record date or other due date for the establishment of entitlement for which falls prior to the relevant Registration Date.

3.11.2 If the record date or other due date for establishment or entitlement for the payment of any dividend or other distribution in respect of the Ordinary Shares (or any Additional Ordinary Shares) upon conversion of the Preference Shares is on or after the Conversion Date in respect of any Preference Share but before the Registration Date (other than and to the extent that it results in any adjustment (retroactive or otherwise) to the number of Ordinary Shares to which a converting Holder is entitled under Condition 3.2.1), the Issuer will pay to the Holder who has exercised his Conversion Right, in lieu of such dividend or distribution, an amount in ZAR (“Equivalent Amount”) equal to any such dividend or other distribution to which such Holder would have been entitled had the Holder, on that record date or other due date for establishment of entitlement, been such a shareholder of record of such Ordinary Shares on that date and will make the relevant payment to the relevant Holder at the same time that it makes payment of the dividend or other distribution.

3.11.3 No payment or adjustment shall be made on conversion for any Preference Dividend which otherwise would have accrued on the relevant Preference Shares since the last Dividend Date preceding the Conversion Date relating to such Preference Shares.

3.12 Purchase or redemption of Ordinary Shares

The Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer may exercise such rights as it may from time to time enjoy to purchase or redeem or buy back any shares of the Issuer (including Ordinary Shares) or any depositary or other receipts or certificates representing the same without the consent of the Holders.

3.13 Consolidation, amalgamation or merger

In the case of any consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Issuer with any other company (other than a consolidation, amalgamation or merger in which the Issuer is the continuing company), or in the case of any sale or transfer of all, or substantially all, of the assets of the Issuer, the Issuer will forthwith give notice thereof to Holders and take such steps as shall be required to ensure that each Preference Share then outstanding will (during the period in which Conversion Rights may be exercised) be convertible into the class and amount of shares and other securities and property receivable upon such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale or transfer by a holder of the number of Ordinary Shares into which the Preference Shares would have converted upon exercise of Conversion Rights immediately prior to such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale or transfer. The above provisions of this Condition 3.13 will apply, mutatis mutandis to any subsequent consolidations, amalgamations, mergers, sales of transfers.

unless:

4.2.1.3 the Issuer has first obtained the prior written consent of every Holder of the Preference Shares at the relevant time; or

4.2.1.4 if there is more than one Holder of the Preference Shares, it is with the prior sanction of a resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the Holders mutatis mutandis:

12.2 The number of Termination Shares shall be adjusted to such number of Shares as the Auditor certify as being fair and reasonable in the circumstances if, at any time before the issue of the Termination Shares, an Adjustment Event had occurred, on the basis that the adjusted number of Termination Shares should represent the same value as the value of the Termination Shares immediately prior the occurrence of the Adjustment Event.

12.3 Should any Party wish to dispute the Auditor’s certification in terms of clause 12.2, such Party shall notify the other Party within 10 (ten) business days after receipt of such certification, in which case such dispute shall be referred to the Independent Auditors, who shall act as an expert and not an arbitrator.

5.9.4 Paragraph 2.3 is amended to read as follows:

“2.3 The Management Fee shall be paid Quarterly in arrears, and shall be an amount equal to 1% (one percent) of the Net Asset Value, other than (i) cash, which will attract a fee of 0.25% (zero point two five per cent), and (ii) assets under management which will attract a fee of 1% (one percent) less the charges levied by the funds into which such assets are invested, provided that if the charges levied in respect of any assets exceed 1% (one percent), then no Management Fee shall be payable in respect of such managed assets but such excess fee will not reduce the balance of the Management Fee.”

5.9.5 Paragraphs 3.1 to 3.3 are deleted and replaced with the following –

“3.1 In addition to the Management Fee, the Manager shall be entitled to a performance fee (the “Performance Fee”) in respect of each Quarter of the subsistence of the Agreement if the NAV per Share in respect of such Quarter is at least 10% (ten percent) more than the previous highest NAV per Share as recorded at the end of any particular Financial Year prior to the relevant Financial Year (“Performance Hurdle”).

3.2 Provided that the Performance Hurdle is achieved in respect of the relevant Financial Year, the Performance Fee in respect of each Financial Year shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula:

a = (15/100) x [(b – c) x d] – e

where,

a, is the Performance Fee payable for the relevant Quarter;

b, is the NAV per Share, as at 17:30 on the last business day of the Quarter concerned;

c, is the previous highest NAV per Share, as recorded at the end of any preceding Financial Year;

d, is the number of Shares in issue as at the last day of the relevant Quarter provided that if during the relevant Quarter, an Adjustment Event had occurred, the number of Shares shall be adjusted mutatis mutandis in accordance with clauses 12.2 and 12.3 of this Agreement; and

e, is the sum of the Performance Fees, if any, paid in respect all the preceding Quarter(s) of the relevant Financial Year.

3.3 The Manager shall, within 15 (fifteen) business days of the end of each Quarter, determine the Performance Fee payable in accordance with this paragraph 3 (the “Performance Fee Determination”) and deliver a statement (which may be in electronic format) (the “Performance Fee Statement”) to the Company of the Performance Fee, provided that if the Performance Hurdle is not achieved, or the Performance Fee Determination yields a negative number then no Performance Fee shall be payable for that Quarter, and no Performance Fee Determination need be notified to the Company.

3.4 If a Performance Fee is paid in respect of any Quarter, and in respect of the next Quarter, the Performance Fee calculated in accordance with paragraph 3.2 yields a negative number, then an amount equal to such negative number (the “Shortfall”) shall be deducted from the first amounts payable by the Company to the Manager thereafter, whether pursuant to the Management Fee, the Performance Fee or otherwise.

Section 63(1) of the Companies Act requires that meeting participants provide satisfactory identification. Accordingly, meeting participants will be required to provide proof of identification to the reasonable satisfaction of the chairman of the General Meeting and must accordingly bring a copy of their identity document, passport or drivers’ license to the General Meeting. If in doubt as to whether any document will be regarded as satisfactory proof of identification, meeting participants should contact the Transfer Secretaries for guidance.

A shareholder entitled to attend, speak and vote at the General Meeting is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend, speak and vote in his stead. A proxy need not be a shareholder of Stellar Capital. For the convenience of certificated shareholders and dematerialised shareholders with “own name” registration, a form of proxy is attached hereto. Completion of a form of proxy will not preclude such shareholder from attending and voting (in preference to that shareholder’s proxy) at the General Meeting.

Duly completed forms of proxy and the authority (if any) under which it is signed must reach the Transfer Secretaries at the address given below by no later than 10:00 on Tuesday, 17 November 2015.

Dematerialised shareholders without “own name” registration who wish to attend the General Meeting in person should request their CSDP or stockbroker to provide them with the necessary Letter of Representation in terms of their custody agreement with their CSDP or stockbroker. Dematerialised shareholders without “own name” registration who do not wish to attend but wish to be represented at the General Meeting must advise their CSDP or stockbroker of their voting instructions. Dematerialised shareholders without “own name” registration should contact their CSDP or stockbroker with regard to the cut‑off time for their voting instructions.

FORM OF PROXY

The definitions and interpretations commencing on page 4 of the Circular to which this form of proxy is attached apply, mutatis mutandis, to this section.

For use by certificated shareholders or “own name” dematerialised shareholders at the General Meeting of the Company to be held at Level P3, Oxford Corner, corner Jellicoe Avenue and Oxford Road, Rosebank, Johannesburg at 10:00 on Thursday, 19 November 2015.

If dematerialised shareholders, other than “own name” dematerialised shareholders, have not been contacted by their CSDP or stockbroker with regard to how they wish to cast their vote, they should contact their CSDP or stockbroker and instruct their CSDP or stockbroker as to how they wish to cast their vote at the General Meeting in order for their CSDP or stockbroker to vote in accordance with such instructions. If dematerialised shareholders, other than “own name” dematerialised shareholders, have not been contacted by their CSDP or stockbroker, it would be advisable for them to contact their CSDP or stockbroker, as the case may be, and furnish them with their instructions.

Dematerialised shareholders who are not “own name” dematerialised shareholders and who wish to attend the General Meeting must obtain their necessary Letter of Representation from their CSDP or stockbroker, as the case may be, and submit same to the Transfer Secretaries to be received by no later than 10:00, on Tuesday, 17 November 2015. This must be done in terms of the agreement entered into between dematerialised shareholders and their CSDP or stockbroker. If the CSDP or stockbroker, as the case may be, does not obtain instructions from such dematerialised shareholders, it will be obliged to act in terms of the mandate furnished to it, or if the mandate is silent in this regard, to abstain from voting. Such dematerialised shareholders, other than “own name” dematerialised shareholders, must not complete this form of proxy and should read note 11 of the overleaf.

NOTES TO THE FORM OF PROXY

A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the General Meeting may appoint one or more persons as his proxy to attend, speak or vote in his stead at the General Meeting. A proxy need not be a shareholder.

On a show of hands, every shareholder shall have one vote (irrespective of the number of Stellar Capital shares held). On a poll, every shareholder shall have, for each share held by him, that proportion of the total votes in Stellar Capital which the aggregate amount of the nominal value of that share held by him bears to the aggregate amount of the nominal value of all the shares issued by Stellar Capital.

SUMMARY OF RIGHTS CONTAINED IN SECTION 58 OF THE COMPANIES ACT

In terms of section 58 of the Companies Act:

• a shareholder may, at any time and in accordance with the provisions of section 58 of the Companies Act, appoint any individual (including an individual who is not a shareholder) as a proxy to participate in, and speak and vote at, a general meeting on behalf of such shareholder;

• a proxy may delegate his authority to act on behalf of a shareholder to another person, subject to any restriction set out in the instrument appointing such proxy;

• irrespective of the form of instrument used to appoint a proxy, the appointment of a proxy is suspended at any time and to the extent that the relevant shareholder chooses to act directly and in person in the exercise of any of such shareholder’s rights as a shareholder;

• any appointment by a shareholder of a proxy is revocable, unless the form of instrument used to appoint such proxy states otherwise;

• if an appointment of a proxy is revocable, a shareholder may revoke the proxy appointment by: (i) cancelling it in writing, or making a later inconsistent appointment of a proxy; and (ii) delivering a copy of the revocation instrument to the proxy and to the relevant company; and

• a proxy appointed by a shareholder is entitled to exercise, or abstain from exercising, any voting right of such shareholder without direction, except to the extent that the MOI, or the instrument appointing the proxy, provides otherwise.

Notes:

1. A shareholder may insert the name of a proxy or the names of two alternative proxies of his choice in the spaces provided with or without deleting “the chairperson of the General Meeting”, but any such deletion must be initialled by the shareholder. The person whose name appears first on the form of proxy and who is present at the General Meeting will be entitled to act as proxy to the exclusion of those whose names follow.

2. Please insert the number of shares in the relevant spaces according to how you wish your votes to be cast. If you wish to cast your votes in respect of a lesser number of Stellar Capital shares exercisable by you, insert the number of Stellar Capital shares held in respect of which you wish to vote. Failure to comply with the above will be deemed to authorise and compel the chairperson, if the chairperson is an authorised proxy, to vote in favour of the resolutions, or to authorise any other proxy to vote for or against the resolutions or abstain from voting as he deems fit, in respect of all the shareholder’s votes exercisable thereat. A shareholder or its/his proxy is not obliged to use all the votes exercisable by the shareholder or its/his proxy, but the total of the votes cast and in respect whereof abstention is recorded may not exceed the total of the votes exercisable by the shareholder or its/his proxy.

3. Forms of proxy must be lodged with the Transfer Secretaries, 70 Marshall Street, Johannesburg, 2001 (PO Box 61051, Marshalltown, 2107), to be received by no later than 10:00 on Tuesday, 17 November 2015, in order to be effective.

4. Any alteration or correction made to this form of proxy must be initialled by the signatory/(ies).

5. Documentary evidence establishing the authority of a person signing this form of proxy in a representative capacity must be attached to this form of proxy unless previously recorded by the Transfer Secretaries or waived by the chairperson of the General Meeting.

6. The completion and lodging of this form of proxy will not preclude the relevant shareholder from attending the General Meeting and speaking and voting in person thereat to the exclusion of any proxy appointed in terms hereof, should such shareholder wish to do so.

7. The chairperson of the General Meeting may accept or reject any form of proxy which is completed and/or received other than in accordance with these notes and instructions, provided that the chairperson is satisfied as to the manner in which the shareholder wishes to vote.

8. The appointment of a proxy shall remain valid until the end of the meeting contemplated in this appointment.

9. Joint holders – any such persons may vote at the General Meeting in respect of such joint Stellar Capital shares as if he were solely entitled thereto; but if more than one of such joint holders are present or represented at the General Meeting, that one of the said persons whose name stands first in the register in respect of such Stellar Capital shares or his proxy, as the case may be, is alone entitled to vote in respect thereof.

10. Shareholders who hold Stellar Capital shares that have been dematerialised, and are registered by the CSDP on the sub‑register in their own name kept by that CSDP (“”own name” dematerialised shareholders”), will be entitled to attend the General Meeting in person or, if they are unable to attend and wish to be represented thereat, must complete and return the attached form of proxy to the Transfer Secretaries in accordance with the time specified on the form of proxy.

11. Shareholders who hold Stellar Capital shares through a nominee should advise their nominee or, if applicable, their CSDP or stockbroker timeously of their intention to attend and vote at the General Meeting or to be represented by proxy thereat in order for their nominee or, if applicable, their CSDP or stockbroker to provide them with the necessary Letter of Representation to do so or should provide their nominee or, if applicable, their CSDP or stockbroker timeously with their voting instruction should they not wish to attend the General Meeting in person, in order for their nominee to vote in accordance with their instruction at the General Meeting.
