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.

1) 2021 CSP Grant

CSP awards in respect of Datatec ordinary shares have been granted to participants on 4 June 2021
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 absolute total shareholder return and underlying earnings per share.

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

 Name                      Number of CSP      Nature of interest
                           awards
                                                     
 Executive directors

 I P Dittrich              183 576            direct beneficial
 Company secretary
 S P Morris                88 963             direct beneficial

The face value of these awards is R29.09* 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 total transaction value received
by the participants will be released on SENS.

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, today 7 June 2021.

2) DBP

Participants in the DBP have deferred a portion of their FY21 bonus to be used to purchase Datatec shares.
The Company made a co-investment equal to the amount of bonus deferred 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. In addition, there is a two-year, post vesting holding period.

Forfeitable DBP shares were transferred from the Company’s pool of treasury shares to the participants in
the DBP today, 7 June 2021 as follows: 1 332 099 shares transferred from treasury at a value of R29.09*
per share totalling R38 750 760. After this transfer the Company holds no treasury shares.
