Settlement of awards under share schemes and dealing in securities by directors

1) Long Term Incentive Plan

Datatec Limited (“Datatec” or the "Company", JSE and LSE: DTC), announces that the Long Term Incentive
Plan ("LTIP") awards granted in May 2011 have not vested following evaluation of the Company’s
performance against prescribed conditions in accordance with the rules of the LTIP. All rights and rewards
are subject to the rules of the LTIP as approved by shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 16
August 2005. Amendments to the LTIP were approved by shareholders at the annual general meeting held
on 14 September 2011.

The LTIP awards granted in May 2011 have therefore lapsed.

2) Settlement of awards under Deferred Bonus Plan

Under the terms of the Deferred Bonus Plan ("DBP"), as approved by shareholders at the annual general
meeting held on 16 August 2005 and amended by shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 14
September 2011, 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.

JP Montanana purchased pledged shares in May 2011 and remained in the employment of the Company
during the performance period and is consequently entitled to receive matching shares. Full details of the
transfer of matching shares are disclosed below in compliance with the JSE Limited ("JSE") Listings
Requirements, and the AIM Rules:

Following this transaction Mr Montanana will hold 15 513 996 Datatec shares comprising 7,87% of the
Company’s issued share capital.

3) Purchase of pledged shares under Deferred Bonus Plan

shares are held in trust and are pledged until the three year vesting date after which the Company will
make a matching award subject to performance conditions.
Full details of this year’s purchases to date are disclosed below in compliance with the JSE Limited ("JSE")
Listings Requirements, and the AIM Rules:

Director                                       :    P J Myburgh
Company                                        :    Datatec Limited
Class of security                              :    Ordinary shares
Nature of transactions                         :    On market purchase of shares
