NEWS RELEASE

EASTERN PLATINUM LIMITED CLARIFIES EFFECTIVE
TRADING DATE FOR ITS CONSOLIDATED COMMON SHARES

July 18, 2014, Vancouver, British Columbia – Eastern Platinum Limited (“Eastplats” or the “Company”)
(TSX: ELR; JSE: EPS) – Further to its news release of July 15, 2014, the Company wishes to announce
that its common shares will now commence trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange on a post split and
post consolidated basis at the market opening on Monday July 21, 2014, not Friday July 18, 2014 as
previously reported.

Pursuant to a special resolution passed by shareholders on June 12, 2014, the Company effected a
consolidation of its common shares on a 1,000 old for 1 new basis (the “Consolidation”) on July 15, 2014.
Shareholders holding less than one full share post-Consolidation are entitled to a cash payment of $0.11
(ZAR1.04) per share of their holdings on a pre-Consolidation basis in lieu of a fractional share, such
amount being equal to the average weighted trading price of the pre-Consolidated Shares on the TSX (and
the JSE) for the ten trading days preceding the effective date of the Consolidation. Following the
Consolidation, the Company immediately completed a stock split on the basis of 1 old for 100 new, with
fractional shares being rounded to the nearest whole number (the “Stock Split”). The Consolidation and
Stock Split achieved a 10 to 1 consolidation and eliminated all of the shareholdings of less than 1,000 pre-
Consolidation shares in exchange for the cash payment of $0.11 (ZAR1.04) per share.

Shareholders on the South African sub-register are advised that the JSE timetable relating to the
Consolidation and Stock Split, as previously announced on SENS, remains unchanged.

You have been paying off your bakkie since 2010 so you are pretty used to making this commitment every month, and your interest rate is below prime so you are alright there."

I cannot agree more, people decide to pay off items using cash, then use the "free" instalmant extra money on other items, if I can have a NPN share for everytime some1 asked me for advise , how to start investing, then later you hear they did something else, bought a bee farm or something.

The Naspers group had a lively year with progress in several businesses. The financial results are detailed below, but
in summary we report robust consolidated revenue growth of 26%, driven by both the internet and pay-television
businesses. This growth was fuelled by development spend of R7,7bn – up 79% on last year – devoted particularly to
ecommerce and digital terrestrial television (DTT). As previously cautioned, this expansionary spend had the effect
of limiting core earnings to R8,6bn, approximately the same as last year.
Looking forward, our established businesses should continue to be in the aggregate cash flow positive, profitable
and growing. Our goal is to invest in new ventures that will deliver value over the long term. With this in mind, we
will continue to invest heavily for organic growth and may also acquire new businesses within our fields of focus. Our
belief is that, through a combination of attractive markets and appealing customer product offerings such as online
classifieds, etail and DTT, we have a realistic prospect for growth over the medium term.
Whilst aggressively investing for the long term limits short-term earnings and cash flows, we believe this strategy to
be sound. Our aim is to deliver superior value to our shareholders over time and to contribute to the communities in
which we operate.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Consolidated revenues grew 26% to R62,7bn, boosted largely by growth in our internet businesses. Also influential
was a rand that depreciated by an average 19% over the period against a basket of our main operating currencies.
Expanding our ecommerce and DTT businesses resulted in development spend accelerating by 79% to R7,7bn
(2013: R4,3bn).
Net interest on borrowings increased to R1,261bn (2013: R636m), due both to the rand depreciation and increased
borrowings utilised to fund acquisitions and growth.
Tencent and Mail.ru reported strong growth. Our share of equity-accounted results includes once-off gains of R2,9bn
flowing from Mail.ru’s sale of shares in Facebook and Qiwi, as well as gains from Tencent’s merger of some of its
ecommerce businesses with JD.com and the sale of its interest in ChinaVision. These gains, being non-recurring, have
been excluded from core headline earnings.
An impairment charge of R1,6bn has been recognised in other gains/losses and relates mainly to the flash-sale fashion
businesses in our ecommerce segment, such as FashionDays, Brandsclub and Markafoni. These failed to achieve
targets and we impaired goodwill and other intangibles during the first half of the year. In addition, our associate
investment in Abril has been fully written down in the current year and is the main item included in impairment of
equity-accounted investments.
A rather theoretical dilution loss of R852m on our equity-accounted investments was booked, mainly stemming from
Tencent buying back its own shares.
For many years we have held our core headline earnings as the most reliable indicator of sustainable operating
performance. In the past year this measure was marginally higher at R8,6bn – R21,81 per N ordinary share. Free cash
flow for the period was an outflow of R349m – largely due to capex in DTT networks and the accelerated development
spend.
Consolidated balance sheet gearing stands at 23%, excluding transponder leases and non-interest bearing liabilities.
Any forecasts in this provisional report have not been audited, reviewed or reported on by the company’s external
auditor.

The use of Bollinger Bands varies widely among traders. Some traders buy when price touches the lower Bollinger Band and exit when price touches the moving average in the center of the bands. Other traders buy when price breaks above the upper Bollinger Band or sell when price falls below the lower Bollinger Band.[4] Moreover, the use of Bollinger Bands is not confined to stock traders; options traders, most notably implied volatility traders, often sell options when Bollinger Bands are historically far apart or buy options when the Bollinger Bands are historically close together, in both instances, expecting volatility to revert towards the average historical volatility level for the stock.
 
When the bands lie close together, a period of low volatility is indicated.[5] Conversely, as the bands expand, an increase in price action/market volatility is indicated.[5] When the bands have only a slight slope and track approximately parallel for an extended time, the price will generally be found to oscillate between the bands as though in a channel.
