Share based payment grants - dealings in securities by directors and the
company secretary

Datatec announces the following in relation to its Conditional Share Plan ("CSP") and Deferred Bonus Plan
("DBP") which were approved by shareholders at the Company's annual general meeting held on 14
September 2017.

CSP awards have been granted to participants on 1 June 2019 following approval by the Remuneration
Committee. The awards are subject to the Rules of the CSP and will vest after three years subject to the
Group meeting certain performance conditions set by the Remuneration Committee based on underlying
earnings per share and return on invested capital targets.

Executive directors and the company secretary have today accepted CSP awards granted as follows:

  Name                  Number of CSP awards             Nature of interest

  J P Montanana                   538 870                indirect beneficial
  I P Dittrich                    190 212                direct beneficial
  S P Morris                       83 400                direct beneficial

The face value of these awards is R33.05* per award but the value to the participant is nil until (and if) the
awards vest. On vesting of the CSP awards a further announcement of the value received by the participants
will be released.

Approval for the individual CSP awards to the directors and the company secretary and clearance to deal has
been given and these individual CSP awards have been accepted, off market, on 4 June 2019.

Participants in the DBP have deferred a portion of their FY19 bonus to be used to purchase Datatec shares.
The amount of bonus deferred was matched by an equal contribution from the Company as determined by
the Remuneration Committee under the terms of the DBP. Shares purchased in terms of the DBP are subject
to an employment condition and only vest with the participant if they remain in employment with the
Company for three years.

Forfeitable DBP shares were transferred from the Company's pool of Treasury shares to the participants in
the DBP today as follows: 870 342 shares transferred from Treasury at a value of R33.05* per share
totalling R28 764 803. After this transfer the Company holds 650,000 Treasury shares.
