Cooperation Agreement entered into between O-Line, Tiso Group (Pty)
Limited ("Tiso Group"), Alizay Properties 46 (Pty) Limited ("Tiso SPV"),
a wholly owned subsidiary of the Tiso Group, and certain current
shareholders of O-Line, being Graeme Shaw Smart, Richard Ian Jay, Edwin
Andrew Jay, David Ronald Fensham, Thomas Loughran and Edzard Adolph Carl
Verseput ("the key shareholders") (collectively referred to as "the
Parties") insofar as the acquisition of an approximately 34.09% interest
by Tiso SPV in O-Line is concerned ("the Tiso Transaction").
1 Introduction
Shareholders of O-Line ("O-Line shareholders") are referred to the
O-Line cautionary announcement dated 2 September 2009 and the
announcement on SENS dated 1 October 2009 ("the October SENS") in
terms of which Tiso SPV, O-Line and the key shareholders entered into
a Heads of Agreement ("the founding agreement") for the acquisition
of an approximate 34.09% interest in O-Line ("the Required Number of
O-Line Shares").The main purpose of the founding agreement was to
encapsulate a broad framework of preliminary terms and conditions of
the Tiso Transaction, all of which was to be incorporated into a
further definitive agreement.
As set out in the October SENS, the founding agreement represented
the salient terms of five related transactions being (1) the
Subscription, (2) the Share Sale, (3) the O-Line undertaking,(4) the
Tiso OTP and (5) the O-Line Buy-back (all of which have been defined
in the October SENS). Further thereto, shareholders are advised that
the Parties have now concluded the definitive agreement as they have
entered into a Sale, Subscription and Cooperation Agreement ("the SSC
Agreement") on 09 December 2009 ("the Signature date"). The SSC
Agreement incorporated the salient terms of the Tiso transaction as
set out in the founding agreement, save for a few additions and/or
amendments as set out hereunder.
2 The Subscription
2.1 The salient features of the Subscription remains unchanged from the
October SENS save that the effective date of the Subscription has been
amended from 30 September 2009 to 11 December 2009.
2.2 All transaction funding has been secured and the required payments
and transfers have been effected on 11 December 2009.
2.3 All conditions in respect of the Subscription have become
unconditional.
3 The Share Sale
3.1 The salient features of the Share Sale remains unchanged from the
October SENS.
3.2 All transaction funding has been secured and the required payments
were made on 11 December 2009. Transfers of the shares concerned are in
the process of being effected.
3.3 All conditions in respect of the Share Sale have become
unconditional.
(Note: As set out in the October SENS, Tiso SPV wishes to hold the
Required Number of O-Line Shares. Under the Subscription and the
Share Sale, Tiso SPV acquired an effective 25.16% equity interest in
O-Line. Thus, an equity interest of 8.93% remains to be secured by
Tiso SPV ("the outstanding equity stake"). As set out in the October
SENS, it is envisaged that the outstanding equity stake is to be
secured under either of the O-Line undertaking, and/or the Tiso OTP
and/or the O-Line Buy-back, as the case may be.)
4 O-Line undertaking

SSC Agreement, are:

Signature date until 31 January 2010, to use their reasonable commercial
endeavours to procure that current O-Line shareholders, other than the
key shareholders, will enter into agreements with Tiso SPV to sell such
amount of O-Line shares so as to procure the Required Number of O-Line
Shares.
4.2 The aforementioned purchase will be concluded on the same terms and
conditions as the Share Sale referred to in paragraph 3 above. In the
event that the purchase is not procured on such same terms and
conditions, Tiso SPV shall be under no obligation to enter into any
agreement with the concerned O-Line shareholder.

that it wishes to make the Tiso OTP (hereinafter referred to as "the

provisions of paragraph 5.1 that it wishes to make the Offer, the Offer

to acquire from them such amount of O-Line shares so as to procure the

Line shall agree on an allocation on a fair and equitable basis, so that
no more that the aggregate number of Offer Shares will be acquired by

have been prepared in accordance with the Listings Requirements of
the JSE Limited and the Guide on Pro Forma Financial Information
issued by The South African Institute of Chartered Accountants in
order to assist O-Line shareholders in their assessment of the impact
of the Tiso Transaction on the earnings per share ("EPS"), headline
earnings per share ("HEPS"), the net asset value ("NAV") and the
tangible NAV ("NTAV") per O-Line ordinary share as at 30 June 2009
and for the twelve months then ended. The pro forma financial effects
have been prepared for illustrative purposes only and, because of
their nature, they may not fairly present O-Line`s pro forma
financial position at 30 June 2009 and the results of its operations
for the twelve months then ended. The "Before" column has been
extracted without adjustment from O-Line`s published audited
financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2009 ("the Annual
Report"). The "After" column represents the effects after the Tiso
Transaction. The "% Change" column compares the "After" column to the
"Before" column.

Notes and assumptions:
1. The "Before" column has been extracted without adjustment from O-
Line`s published audited results for the year ended 30 June 2009;
2. The "After" column represents the effects after the Tiso
Transaction;
3. The pro forma earnings and headline earnings per share have been
adjusted to include the following:-
3.1 In calculating the EPS and HEPS it was assumed that a
portion of the proceeds of the Tiso Subscription amounting
to R42 million were used to settle all long- term and short-
term debt resulting in an after tax interest saving of
R4 938 480;
3.2 It was assumed that surplus cash proceeds emanating from the
Subscription (in excess of the settlement of long-term and
short-term debt referred to in paragraph 3.1) would be
applied to future strategic acquisitions. No adjustment to
EPS and HEPS have been effected insofar earnings to be
acquired in respect of such future strategic acquisitions;
and
3.3 The weighted average number of shares has been increased
with 42 million new shares so as to show the effect as if
the 42 million shares were in issue for the 12 months ended
30 June 2009.
4. The net asset value ("NAV") and net tangible asset value
("NTAV") per share have been adjusted to include the following:
4.1 The NAV and TNAV has been increased with R42 million
following the Subscription for 42 million shares at a rate
of R1 per share; and
4.2 The actual number of shares in issue has been increased with
the 42 million Subscription shares so as to calculate the
NAV and TNAV.
