ACQUISITION OF MAJORITY INTEREST IN GERMAN SOFTWARE DEVELOPER

Datatec Limited ("Datatec" or the "Group") announces that Logicalis Group ("Logicalis"), has
acquired a 51% shareholding in ituma GmbH ("ituma"), a speciality software developer
based in Germany.

Logicalis will have exclusive rights to ituma's proprietary software based Wi-Fi platform. The
technology enables businesses to deliver Wi-Fi enabled-services such as 3D in-location
navigation, product and service offerings access, product promotions and omni-channel
retail ordering to their customers.

Established as a start-up company in 2010, ituma has highly specialised skills and a unique
offering. The acquisition presents a significant opportunity for Logicalis to grow ituma's
licence revenues exponentially and increase infrastructure revenues globally through its
own sales organisation.

Jens Montanana, Datatec's Chief Executive Officer commented:

"Wi-Fi enabled-services is an exciting segment of the growing global wireless data market.
Our investment in ituma provides Logicalis with access to a new complementary solution
that has the potential to support increases in annuity, services and infrastructure revenues
across multiple territories in which Logicalis operates."
