(Registration number 1986/001616/06)
JSE code: LAB ISIN: ZAE000018354
("Labat" or "the company")
CHANGE TO BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Shareholders are referred to the SENS announcement of 27 January 2011 advising
of the cancellation of the sale of Labat shares from Link Private Equity to
Cyndara 131 (Pty) Ltd trading as Aurora Investment Holdings. Following the
cancellation of Aurora as the preferred bidder by the liquidators for the
Grootvlei/Orkney assets, the members of Aurora felt that their further
involvement in Labat and particularly their directorships in Labat were no
longer appropriate and therefore they agreed to stand down as directors of the
company.
Consequently at a Labat board meeting held on Friday, 17 June at 23 Kroton
Avenue, Weltevreden Park, the Aurora representatives namely Messrs M Hulley, Z
Mandela, K Zuma and T Ngubane were replaced as directors with immediate effect
and the following directors, Messrs B Jacobs and D Lupungela were elected as
independent non-executive directors to serve in their place.
Profiles of the two new directors are set out below:

turnover in excess of half a billion rand (R700 m). He resigned as a director of
the Communications Workers Investment Company in May 2002. He has completed the
Management Advanced Programme as well as the Executive Development Programme at
the Witwatersrand Business School. He is currently the Chairman of Trisource
Holdings and has been deployed as an Executive Director to Trisource (Pty) Ltd.
