ANNOUNCEMENT
INTRODUCTION
Sallies Security Holders are referred to the SENS announcement on 9
September 2011 regarding the mandatory offer whereby Fluormin Plc. will make
a mandatory offer to minority security holders through schemes of
arrangement ("Schemes") in terms of section 114 of the Companies Act, No 71
of 2008 ("the Act") and if implemented, Sallies Security Holders may elect
to receive:
* in the case of Sallies ordinary shareholders, 0.0277 Fluormin ordinary
shares for every one Sallies ordinary share held; alternatively, or in
the absence of any election by a Sallies ordinary shareholder, a cash
consideration of 14 cents for every one Sallies ordinary share held
(the "Cash Consideration");
* in the case of Sallies convertible debenture holders, 0.0646 Fluormin
ordinary shares for every one Sallies convertible debenture held;
alternatively, or in the absence of any election by a Sallies
convertible debenture holder, a cash consideration of 50 cents for
every one Sallies convertible debenture held; or
* in the case of Sallies option holders, a cash consideration equivalent
to the "in the money" value of the Sallies options on a net cash
cancellation basis, being an amount equal to the difference between the
Cash Consideration and the strike price of the Sallies options, upon
the Schemes becoming operative. Option holders who do not accept the
cash offer will be permitted to retain their options and exercise them
in accordance with their terms. The election by Sallies ordinary
shareholders and Sallies convertible debenture holders of Fluormin
ordinary shares in the specified ratios is collectively referred to as
the "Stock Consideration".
Should any of the Schemes fail, Fluormin will still be liable to make an
unconditional mandatory offer in terms of section 123 of the Act in respect
of the relevant class of securities.

SALLIES ORDINARY SHAREHOLDER AND A SALLIES CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE HOLDER
The table below sets out the unaudited pro forma financial effects of the
election of the Stock Consideration on a Sallies ordinary shareholder and a
Sallies convertible debenture holder. The unaudited pro forma financial
effects have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and are based on the
published, audited results of Sallies and of Fluormin for the year ended 30

the responsibility of the Sallies directors and is provided for illustrative
purposes only in order to provide information about how the election of the

impact of the election of the Stock Consideration. It has been assumed for
the purposes of the pro forma financial effects of the election of the Stock
Consideration on a Sallies ordinary shareholder and a Sallies Convertible
debenture holder that 100% of the Sallies ordinary shareholders and Sallies
convertible debenture holders have elected the Stock Consideration.
