Shareholders of HCI are advised that HCI has exercised a call option for
the acquisition of a further 15% interest in Catwalk Investments 167 (Pty)
Ltd ("Catwalk") from Mr Jabulani Albert Mabuza ("Mabuza") ("the
transaction"). Currently, 15% of the shares in the issued share capital of
Catwalk are held by Mabuza and 85% by HCI.
Catwalk effectively holds a 4,6% interest in Tsogo Investment Holding
Company (Pty) Ltd ("TIH") via Catwalk Leisure Investments (Pty) Limited

Catwalk ("Catwalk shares") from Mabuza for a total consideration of R26,5
million, which consideration shall be paid to Mabuza as set out in
paragraph 5 below.
Following the implementation of the transaction, HCI will own 100% of the
issued share capital of Catwalk and, consequently, will further increase
its indirect investment in TIH by 0.69% to an effective 65,36%.
