NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS TERRASAN BEPERK
1. Please note that the articles of association of the company which stipulated that
a member was not allowed to hold more than 3% of the issued share capital of
the company, was amended to 6%. A member can therefore currently hold
±584,392 shares of the 9,739,871 shares issued to date.
2. During December 2009 TerraSan Ltd increased its interest in Aquafarm
Development(Pty) Ltd from 75% to 100%.
Aquafarm owns an abalone farm at Hermanus, and 40% of Roman Bay Sea
Farm (Pty) Ltd and subsidiaries (SPP Canning - abalone processing plant and
Marifeed - abalone feed manufacturer) as well as 45% of Midae Marketing
(abalone marketing).
The purchase-price of the 25%-interest amounted to R20,875 m. R5,87 m of the
purchase-price was paid in cash, R3.25 m by means of issuing/exchanging of
TerraSan Ltd and Blue Bay (mussels) shares and the balance of Rl1. 75 m will
be paid during December 2010 en December 2011.
3. The TerraSan Ltd/Empowco Holdings (Pty) Ltd transaction (refer Extraordinary
meeting of TerraSan Ltd shareholders on 23 November 2009) was approved by
the shareholders of both companies.
The result of the transaction on 1 January 2010 was that the black economic
empowerment (BEE) ofTerraSan Ltd increased to 21%. The black shareholders
concerned also had the option to take up a further ±6% in TerraSan Ltd, which
would then increase your company's BEE-status to ±27%. This is still in
process. If the ±6% shares have been taken up, it will lead to a cash injection of
±R4.6 m in TerraSan Ltd.
Whereas the transaction is partly an exchange transaction, TerraSan Ltd obtains
a 26%-interest in Roman Bay Sea Farm (Pty) Ltd and subsidiaries. Therefore
TerraSan Ltd owns effectively 66% of Roman Bay Sea Farm (Pty) Ltd.
4. The directors and management believe that the above-mentioned two
transactions position us strategically well within the mariculture industry and
increase our empowerment to more acceptable levels.
By order of the board of directors.

KENNISGEWING AAN AANDEELHOUERS
1. Neem asb. kennis dat die statute van die maatskappy wat bepaal het dat 'n lid
nie meer as 3% van die uitgereikte aandelekapitaal van die maatskappy kon hou
nie, gewysig is na 6%. 'n Lid kan tans ±584,392 aandele hou, aangesien
9,739,871 aandele uitgereik is.
2. TerraSan Bpk het gedurende Desember 2009 sy belang in Aquafarm
Development (Pty) Ltd van 75% tot 100% verhoog.
Aquafarm besit 'n perlemoenplaas te Hermanus, en 40% van Roman Bay Sea
Farm (Pty) Ltd en filiale (SPP Canning - perlemoen verwerkingsaanleg en
Marifeed - perlemoenvoer vervaardiger) asook 45% van Midae Marketing
(perlemoen bemarking).
Die koopsom van die 25%-belang het R20,875 m beloop. R5.87 m van die
koopsom is kontant betaal, R3.25 m deur die uitreikiruil van TerraSan Bpk en
Blue Bay (mossels) aandele en die balans van Rl1.75 m sal gedurende
Desember 2010 en Desember 20 II betaal word.
3. Die TerraSan Bpk/Empowco Holdings (Pty) Ltd transaksie (verwys Spesiale
vergadering van TerraSan Bpk aandeelhouers op 23 November 2009) is deur
beide maatskappye se aandeelhouers goedgekeur.
Die resultaat van die transaksie op 1 Januarie 2010 is dat TerraSan Bpk se swart
ekonomiese bemagtiging (SEB) na 21% gestyg het. Die betrokke swart
aandeelhouers het ook 'n opsie gehad om 'n verdere ±6% in TerraSan Bpk op te
neem, wat dan u maatskappy se SEB-status na ±27% sal verhoog. Die proses is
tans aan die gang. Indien die ±6% aandele opgeneem word, sal dit lei tot 'n
kontantinspuiting van ±R4.6 m in TerraSan Bpk.
Aangesien die transaksie deels 'n ruiltransaksie is, bekom TerraSan Bpk 'n
26%-belang in Roman Bay Sea Farm (Pty) Ltd en filiale. TerraSan Bpk besit
dus effektief 66% van Roman Bay Sea Farm (Pty) Ltd.
4. Die direksie en bestuur glo dat bostaande twee transaksies ons strategies goed
posisioneer in die marikultuurbedryf en ook ons bemagtiging verhoog na meer
aanvaarbare vlakke.
In opdrag van die direksie.
