RBA - RBA Holdings Limited - Group and board restructuring                      
RBA Holdings Limited                                                            
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)                                  
(Registration number:  1999/009701/06)                                          
(JSE code: RBA     ISIN: ZAE000104154)                                          
("RBA Holdings" or "the company")                                               
Group and board restructuring                                                   
Group restructuring                                                             
The Board of RBA Holdings has during 2009 taken the strategic decision to       
streamline the group structure into four operating companies with a view to     
decreasing costs and increasing efficiencies. The group consisted of 24 legal   
entities at the time.                                                           
The Board of RBA Holdings approved that the structure be simplified as follows  
with effect from 1 January 2010:                                                
RBA Holdings will remain the holding company;                                   
Land procurement will remain housed in Ground Base (Pty) Limited ("Ground       
Base");                                                                         
All sales activities will be housed in Gemini Moon Trading 314 (Pty) Limited,   
which is in the process of changing its name to RBA Homes (Pty) Limited ("RBA   
Homes");                                                                        
All development activities will be housed in RBA Developments (Johannesburg)    
(Pty) Limited ("RBA Developments");                                             
All construction activities will be housed in RBA Building Projects (Pty)       
Limited ("RBA Projects").                                                       
The resultant shareholdings of RBA Holdings in the abovementioned operating     
companies are as follows:                                                       
Ground Base - 87%                                                               
RBA Homes - 51%                                                                 
RBA Developments - 93.5 %                                                       
RBA Projects - 51%                                                              
All the issued shares in subsidiaries incorporated into RBA Homes, RBA          
Developments and RBA Projects which were not held by RBA Holdings, were acquired
from the minority shareholders.  It is envisaged that most of the said former   
subsidiaries will become dormant and be de-registered in due course.            
The Board believes that this structure will not only lead to greater efficiency 
and responsiveness, but will also increase the focus on core activities and     
intensify the sense of accountability amongst the leadership corps.             
Board restructuring                                                             
In line with the rationale behind the restructuring and streamlining of the RBA 
group, Daniel Esterhuyse and George Warren will assume strategic positions on   
the boards of RBA Homes and RBA Developments respectively and have resigned from
the board of RBA Holdings to focus their attention on their new roles and       
responsibilities. The Board wishes to thank these two gentlemen for their       
contributions as board members of the holding company and wish them well in     
their new roles.                                                                
Richard Eksteen resigned as board member of RBA Holdings to pursue other        
interests. The board wishes to thank Ricky for his contribution to RBA Holdings 
spanning some 10 years and wishes him and his family all the best for the       
future.                                                                         
The Board of RBA Holdings now consists of three executive and two independent   
non-executive directors. This restructuring of the board confirms RBA`s         
commitment to increase the corporate governance regime in the company, in line  
with the guidelines of King III.

Designated Advisor
