On December 1, 2006, at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Net 1 UEPS Technologies, Inc. (“Net1”), the shareholders of Net1 approved an amendment and restatement of the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan of Net1 and its Subsidiaries (the “Plan”) to increase by 2,845,600 shares the number of shares issuable under the Plan. As disclosed in Net1’s Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting, the remuneration committee of the Board of Directors of Net1 had previously approved the grant of options to purchase an aggregate of 160,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $22.51 to Net1’s executive officers, subject to shareholder approval of the amendment and restatement of the Plan. Thus, upon such shareholder approval, the previously approved grants became effective. The options are exercisable in five equal installments commencing on May 8, 2007 and expire on August 24, 2016.
