Under the terms of the DBP, as approved by shareholders at the annual general   
meeting held on 16 August 2005, participants may purchase Datatec shares        
("pledged shares") and hold them for three years after which time the Company   
will issue or transfer the same number of shares ( "matching" shares) to the    
participants.
