ACTION REQUIRED BY SHAREHOLDERS

The definitions and interpretations commencing on page 5 apply mutatis mutandis to theon set out below.

If you are in any doubt as to the action you should take in relation to this Circular, please consult your CSDP, Broker, banker, attorney, accountant or other professional advisor immediately.

If you have disposed of all your Shares in Huge, please forward this Circular to the purchaser of such Shares or to the CSDP, Broker, banker or any other agent through whom the disposal was effected.

Shares in companies listed on the JSE can no longer be sold on the exchange unless they have been dematerialised onto the Strate system. It is therefore suggested that certificated shareholders dematerialise their documents of title and replace them with electronic records of ownership. In this regard, shareholders may contact either a CSDP or Broker, details of which are available from Strate at [email protected] or telephone (011) 759 5300 or facsimile (011) 759 5505.

If you wish to dematerialise your Shares, you should contact a CSDP or Broker as certificated Shares may not be traded unless they have been dematerialised, which process can take between one and ten days, depending on volumes.

2. IF YOU HOLD DEMATERIALISED SHARES AND HAVE NOT SELECTED OWN-NAME REGISTRATION

HUGE GROUP LIMITED

(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Registration number 2006/023587/06) Share code: HUG ISIN: ZAE000102042

CIRCULAR TO SHAREHOLDERS

1. INTRODUCTION

Huge announced on 17 November 2016 its intention to raise up to R300 000 000 by means of a Specific Issue of Shares for Cash to certain Qualifying Investors. In order to implement the Specific Issue of Shares for Cash, Huge Shareholder approval is required.

2. PURPOSE OF THIS CIRCULAR

The purpose of this Circular is:

  • 2.1 to provide Huge Shareholders with relevant information in order to enable them to make an informed decision as to whether or not they should vote in favour of the resolutions set out in the Notice of General Meeting which is attached to and forms part of this Circular, in relation to the Specific Issue of Shares for Cash; and

  • 2.2 to convene the General Meeting in order for Huge Shareholders to consider, and if deemed fit, pass with or without modification, the special resolution and ordinary resolution to be proposed at the General Meeting.

3. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND PROSPECTS

Huge is listed on the Main Board of the JSE.

Huge is an investment holding company which holds investments in subsidiary companies operating in the telecommunications, technology and media industries. The Group is focused on building value for all of its stakeholders.

Huge Telecom and Huge Connect are mobile telephony services business. Their principal business prior to the acquisition of Connectnet detailed below, is substituting fixed-line voice infrastructure with mobile solutions. Unlike a PSTN like Telkom, Huge Telecom and Huge Connect use GSM to provide a wireless ‘last-mile’ connection from the customer’s premises to the core of the network. Huge Telecom and Huge Connect’s customers number in excess of 13 000 and comprise corporate organisations (of any size) and residential consumers who require a fixed location voice service. Huge Telecom and Huge Connect do not own the core network infrastructure - rather, they leverage off the existing mobile operator networks in South Africa.

Huge Telecom and Huge Connect’s telephone services are not only a substitute for the fixed land-line telephone service provided by Telkom (comprising 3.217m lines as per the Telkom Annual Report for 2016) but they are also more cost effective, easier to install and cheaper to maintain. The last-mile connection from the core of the network to the customer’s premises is a single-variable solution, operating in a static ecosystem, with only one possible point of failure. The solution has been created as a plug, play and walk away implementation. This intelligent network enables Huge Telecom and Huge Connect to provide stable and highly reliable services that require very little post-installation maintenance.

8

Huge Telecom and Huge Connect have an extensive and growing distribution network, selling their telephony services, of more than 600 resellers (referred to as Business Partners).

The sum-of-the-parts valuation of Huge, is comprised of:

  • the demonstrable fixed land-line telephony substitution blueprint and

  • the cash flow generative profile of its customer base coupled with the scalability of this base (via Huge Telecom and Huge Connect’s large distribution channel).

The economies of scale enjoyed by the mobile network operators means that the existing Huge Telecom and Huge Connect customer bases would generate much higher cash flow returns to the networks, thereby imputing a far higher valuation in their hands, than currently attributed by the market to Huge.

Eyeballs Mobile Advertising is a technology provider whose technology consists of a software application that recipient users download and install, at no cost to themselves, on their mobile phones. It displays advertising and content images on the phone screen when calls are made or messages received.

4. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS

Huge recently announced that it plans to acquire Connectnet and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sainet Internet. The Acquisition is consistent with Huge’s stated intent to participate in a broad range of mobile telephony solutions.

Connectnet is a mobile payment solution company, established in 2004, which provides connectivity to the card payment terminals of the commercial banks in South Africa by making use of secure dual SIM connectivity over GSM data networks. It is estimated that over a million transactions are handled per day through the Connectnet ecosystem. Connectnet has also expanded into other markets, including ATMs, integrated points-of-sale, medical/script verifications, telemetry applications, micro-lending applications and cash vaults.

Sainet Internet is a network service provider and data communications company that markets and sells a variety of products and services including Internet data services, managed network solutions, branch connectivity, hosting services and website and system development.

The combination of Connectnet, Huge Telecom and Huge Connect is compelling. Firstly, the bulk of Connectnet’s 29 000 customers fit squarely into Huge Telecom’s target market of customer (with little overlap). It is therefore expected that Connectnet will assist Huge Telecom in expanding its base of 13 000 customers and 35 000 telephone lines and secondly, Connectnet’s Sainet Internet subsidiary will create a critical entry for Huge Telecom and Huge Connect to participate in the data market.

Huge, enlarged by Connectnet and Sainet Internet, is building an investment theme focused on connectivity, mobile payments and Financial Technology. People live in a connected world – everyone and everything needs to be connected – Huge Telecom, Huge Connect, Connectnet and Sainet Internet make connections possible. Connectnet provides Huge with an entry into the mobile payments arena, and an opportunity to participate in the expected explosive growth as the Internet transforms from being a source of information to one focused on value and its movement. Connectnet’s participation as a trusted payments’ service provider, makes it invaluable real-estate for expansion into Fintech-type opportunities.

The ultimate effect of the Acquisition will be that Huge will acquire 100% of the shares in Connectnet for an aggregate consideration of R418 000 000.

The Acquisition shall be structured as follows:

  • (i) Huge will subscribe for 185 new ordinary shares in Connectnet for an aggregate subscription price of R418 000 000; and

  • (ii) immediately thereafter, Connectnet will repurchase 122 existing ordinary shares held by the Relevant Shareholders in Connectnet (such that Huge will, thereafter, become the sole shareholder in Connectnet) for an aggregate repurchase price of R275 000 000.

The Connectnet Subscription Consideration will be funded firstly in cash in the amount of R266 750 000 and secondly by way of RLAs to the value of R151 250 000.

The Connectnet Repurchase Consideration will be funded firstly in cash in the amount of R123 750 000 and secondly by way of the renouncement by Connectnet of the RLAs, allocated to Connectnet in terms

9

of the Connectnet Subscription RLA Consideration, in the amount of R151 250 000 to the Relevant Shareholders .

The Huge Shares that are the subject matter of the RLAs relating to the Connectnet Subscription RLA Consideration and the Connectnet Repurchase RLA Consideration will:

  • be issued at a price that is no less than the Subscription Price determined in the Bookbuild Process and

  • will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares of Huge.

An amount of R123 750 000 is required to be raised by Huge in the Bookbuild Placement in order to settle the Connectnet Repurchase Cash Consideration.

Should the amount raised in the Bookbuild Placement be less than the Connectnet Repurchase Cash Consideration, the Acquisition may be at risk of not being implemented.

The Acquisition remains subject to a number of conditions precedent, including, inter alia , approval by Huge Shareholders in general meeting. A separate circular, setting out the terms and conditions of the Acquisition and including a notice of general meeting for the purposes of approving the Acquisition will be distributed to Shareholders in due course.

The Specific Issue of Shares for Cash is not conditional on the approval by Shareholders of the Acquisition or implementation of the Acquisition.

To the extent that the Maximum Amount is raised by Huge or the Acquisition does not proceed, any excess of funds raised over the amount required to fund the Connectnet Repurchase Consideration will be utilised:

  • to finance future acquisitions of Huge;

  • to augment the existing working capital capacity of Huge; or

  • either to reduce debt in Huge or, to the extent that the Acquisition proceeds, Connectnet.

5. SPECIFIC ISSUE OF SHARES FOR CASH

  • 5.1 Subscription Shares

Subject to market conditions and the necessary Shareholder approvals, it is the intention of Huge to offer the Subscription Shares to Qualifying Investors in order to raise up to the Maximum Amount. The Subscription Shares will be offered to Qualifying Investors by way of the Bookbuild Process.

All participants in the Specific Issue of Shares for Cash will pay the Subscription Price. Existing Huge Shareholders who are Qualifying Investors will be able to participate in the Bookbuild Process.

5.2 Terms and conditions

Subject to the approval of Shareholders in General Meeting, a maximum of 50 000 000 Huge Ordinary Shares will be issued for cash in terms of a specific authority to Qualifying Investors at the Subscription Price. Subject to the maximum number of 50 000 000 Huge Ordinary Shares to be issued, the final number of Huge Ordinary Shares to be issued will be determined by the Subscription Price established as a result of the Bookbuild Process. There is no maximum discount at which the Subscription Shares will be issued.

The Subscription Shares to be issued are of a class of securities already in issue and will rank pari passu in every respect with existing Huge Shares in issue.

The proposed Specific Issue of Shares for Cash is subject to paragraph 5.51 of the Listings Requirements which provides that a specific issue for cash must be approved by a minimum of 75% of Huge Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the general meeting at which the proposed specific issue of shares for cash will be considered.

In addition, as the maximum number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to the Specific Issue of Shares for Cash (being 50 000 000 Shares) exceeds 30% of the voting power of all Shares in issue and held by Shareholders immediately before the Specific Issue of Shares for Cash, the Specific Issue of Shares for Cash will be subject to approval by Shareholders by way of a special resolution in terms of section 41(3) of the Companies Act.

10

Existing shareholders who intend to participate in the Specific Issue of Shares for Cash will be precluded from voting at the General Meeting convened to approve the special resolution in this regard. Any shareholder who votes at the General Meeting will not be permitted to participate in the Specific Issue of Shares for Cash.

To the extent that the maximum number of Subscription Shares is not issued in the Bookbuild Placement, the remainder of the maximum number of Subscription Shares will revert to Huge’s authorised but unissued share capital and will be used for no other purpose.

5.3 Conditions precedent

The Specific Issue of Shares for Cash is subject to the approval of the special resolution granting specific approval by 75% of Huge Shareholders present in person or by proxy at the General Meeting as required in accordance with paragraph 5.51 of the Listings Requirements and section 41(3) of the Companies Act.

In terms of paragraphs 11.19 (b) and (f) of the Listings Requirements, if a specific issue of shares for cash relates to a class of securities already in issue, and is for cash without any other impact on the financial statements of the Company, then the Company will be exempted from producing and presenting the pro forma financial effects of the specific issue.

The first correspondence with regard to this matter was received from the JSE on 2 February 2012, the main theme of which was that the JSE was instructing the Company to restate its AFS for the 2010, 2011 and 2012 financial years (the Relevant AFS ) as a result of the accounting treatment by the Company of, amongst other matters, the purchase by the Company of Single Stock Futures ( SSFs ) on 16 October 2008, with which the JSE, after consulting with the Financial Reporting Investigations Panel, disagreed (the Restatement Decision ).

The Company treated its acquisition of the SSFs as financial instruments with the resultant losses being accounted through profit and loss. The JSE contends that the acquisition of the SSFs should have been treated as equity instruments and that the resultant losses ought not to have been accounted through profit and loss.

The Company objected to the JSE’s findings and the Restatement Decision. On 20 January 2014 the Company received a letter from the JSE stating that the Company’s objections had been dismissed, and that the Company was instructed to restate the Relevant AFS.

On 21 February 2014, the Company addressed a letter to the JSE explaining that the SSFs which were the subject of the Restatement Decision had been closed out during December 2013, and requesting the JSE to take this fact into consideration.

The JSE directed a reply to the Company dated 27 October 2014, wherein it informed the Company that it had decided that there was no merit in Huge’s request that the JSE has to “revisit” its decision nor is it correct to attempt to suggest that the JSE’s decision was rendered without duly considering all of the facts.

In reply, the Company addressed a letter to the JSE dated 27 November 2014, wherein the Company advised the JSE that the Company’s legal advisors had been instructed to prepare review application papers.

On 24 April 2015, the Company instituted an action in the Gauteng Local Division of the High Court of South Africa, for the judicial review of the decisions of the JSE in terms of section 6(2)(e)(iii) of the Promotion of Administrative Justice Act, 2 of 2000.

A court date for the hearing of the review application has not been set.

Arbitration

Dispute between Huge and TeleMasters Holdings Limited (TeleMasters)

During February 2013 TeleMasters cancelled an agreement with Huge for the supply of MTN airtime and suspended the SIM cards held by the Company relating to this airtime. A net amount of R311 500 is being claimed by Telemasters in this regard.

After protracted correspondence, the matter was referred for arbitration. No formal date for arbitration had been set down as at the Last Practicable Date.

Other litigation

The Company and Group engage in a certain level of litigation in the ordinary course of business. The Directors have considered all pending and current litigation and are of the opinion that, unless specifically provided, none of these will result in a loss to the Group. All significant litigation which the Directors believe may result in a possible loss has been disclosed.

Other than the matters disclosed above, there are no other legal or arbitration proceedings, including any proceedings that are pending or threatened, of which Huge is aware, that may have or have had in the recent past, being at least the previous 12 months, a material effect on the Group’s financial position.

Notes to the Form of Proxy

1. This form of proxy is for use by certificated Shareholders and dematerialised Shareholders with “own name” registration whose shares are registered in their own
names on the record date and who wish to appoint another person to represent them at the General Meeting. If duly authorised, companies and other corporate
bodies, who are Shareholders, having Shares registered in their own names may appoint a proxy using this form of proxy, or may appoint a representative in
accordance with the last paragraph below.
Other Shareholders should not use this form. All beneficial holders who have dematerialised their Shares through a Central Securities Depository Participant
(“CSDP”) or Broker, and do not have their shares registered in their own name, must provide the CSDP or Broker with their voting instructions. Alternatively, if
they wish to attend the General Meeting in person, they should request the CSDP or Broker to provide them with a letter of representation in terms of the custody
agreement entered into between the beneficial owner and the CSDP or Broker.
2. Shareholders are requested to lodge completed Forms of Proxy at the Transfer Secretaries by not later than 10:00 on 15 December 2016. Nevertheless, completed
Forms of Proxy may be lodged at any time prior to the commencement of voting on the resolutions at the General Meeting.
3. This proxy shall apply to all the shares registered in the name of shareholders at the record date unless a lesser number of shares are inserted.
4. A Shareholder may appoint one person as the proxy by inserting the name of such proxy in the space provided. Any such proxy need not be a shareholder of the
Company. If the name of the proxy is not inserted, the chairman of the General Meeting will be appointed as proxy. If more than one name is inserted, then the
person whose name appears first on this form of proxy and who is present at the General Meeting will be entitled to act as proxy to the exclusion of any persons
whose names follow. The proxy appointed in this form of proxy may delegate the authority given to him/her in this form of proxy by delivering to the Company, in
the manner required by these instructions, a further form of proxy which has been completed in a manner consistent with the authority given to the proxy of this
form of proxy.
5. Unless revoked, the appointment of proxy in terms of this form of proxy remains valid until the end of the General Meeting even if such meeting or a part thereof
is postponed or adjourned.
6. If:
6.1
a Shareholder does not indicate on this instrument that the proxy is to vote in favour of or against or to abstain from voting on any resolution; or
6.2
the Shareholder gives contrary instructions in relation to any matter; or
6.3
any additional resolution/s which are properly put before the General Meeting; or
6.4
any resolution listed in the form of proxy is modified or amended,
7. the proxy shall be entitled to vote or abstain from voting, as he/she thinks fit, in relation to that resolution or matter. If, however, the Shareholder has provided further
written instructions which accompany this form of proxy and which indicate how the form of proxy should vote or abstain from voting in any of the circumstances
referred to in 6.1 to 6.4, then the form of proxy shall comply with those instructions.
If this proxy is signed by a person (signatory) on behalf of the Shareholder, whether in terms of a power of attorney or otherwise, then this form of proxy will not be
effective unless:
7.1
it is accompanied by a certified copy of the authority given by the Shareholder to the signatory; or
7.2
the Company has already received a certified copy of that authority.
8. The chairman of the General Meeting may, at the chairman’s discretion, accept or reject any form of proxy or other written appointment of a proxy which is received
by the chairman prior to the time when the General Meeting deals with a resolution or matter to which the appointment of the proxy relates, even if that appointment
of a proxy has not been completed and/or received in accordance with these instructions. However, the chairman shall not accept any such appointment of a proxy
unless the chairman is satisfied that it reflects the intention of the shareholder appointing the proxy.
9. Any alterations made in this form of proxy must be initialled by the authorised signatory/ies.
10. This form of proxy is revoked if the shareholder who granted the proxy:
10.1
delivers a copy of the revocation instrument to the Company and to the proxy or proxies concerned, so that it is received by the Company by not later than
10:00 on 20 December 2016; or
10.2
appoints a later, inconsistent appointment of proxy for the General Meeting; or
10.3
attends the General Meeting in person.
11. If duly authorised, companies and other corporate bodies who are shareholders of the Company having Shares registered in their own name may, instead of
completing this form of proxy, appoint a representative to represent them and exercise all of their rights at the General Meeting by giving written notice of the
appointment of that representative. This notice will not be effective at the General Meeting unless it is accompanied by a duly certified copy of the resolution/s or
other authorities in terms of which that representative is appointed in accordance with the timelines set out in paragraph 2 above.

the date stated in the revocation instrument, if any, or the date on which the revocation instrument was delivered as contemplated in paragraph 6.3 above (section
58(5)).
8. If the proxy instrument has been delivered to a Company, as long as that appointment remains in effect, any notice required by the Companies Act or the Company’s
MOI to be delivered by the Company to the shareholder must be delivered by the Company to the shareholder (section 58(6)(a)), or the proxy or proxies, if the
shareholder has directed the Company to do so in writing and paid any reasonable fee charged by the Company for doing so (section 58(6)(b)).
9. A proxy is entitled to exercise, or abstain from exercising, any voting right of the shareholder without direction, except to the extent that the MOI or proxy instrument
provides otherwise (section 58(7)).
