Rand Merchant Insurance Holdings Limited ( formerly Main Street 796 Limited) Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa (Registration number 2010/005770/06) Share code: RMI ISIN: ZAE000153102 ( RMI Holdings or Company ) DIRECTORS OF RMBH Executive P Cooper (CEO and FD) Non-executive G T Ferreira (Chairman) L L Dippenaar J W Dreyer J J Durand P M Goss # P K Harris S E N Sebotsa # K C Shubane # M H Visser # Independent PRE-LISTING STATEMENT 1. INTRODUCTION Pursuant to the FirstRand transaction, RMBH is proposing a restructuring to re-align RMBH s investment portfolio and to enhance shareholder value. Full details of the RMBH restructuring are contained in the RMBH circular. The RMBH restructuring is subject to the fulfilment of the conditions precedent as set out in the RMBH circular. Subject to the conditions precedent as set out in the RMBH circular, the Issuer Services Division of the JSE has approved the listing of approximately 1 361 576 456 RMI Holdings ordinary shares in the Investment Instruments sub-sector of the Financials sector of the JSE. RMI Holdings will list under the name Rand Merchant Insurance Holdings Limited, JSE code: RMI, abbreviated name: RMIH and with ISIN: ZAE000153102 with effect from the commencement of business on or about 7 March 2011. RMI Holdings share capital will consist of issued JSE-listed RMI Holdings ordinary shares. The ordinary shares will rank pari passu. 2. RATIONALE FOR THE LISTING The proposed RMBH restructuring will result in the creation of separate focused insurance and banking entities. The two separately listed entry points will provide investors with greater flexibility in terms of their investment choices: RMBH investors will have access to a strategic investment in a premier Southern African banking group, owning pre-eminent banking brands that control significant elements of the profit pools of their segments; while investors in RMI Holdings will have access to a strategic portfolio of insurance investments with significant shares in the profits of various segments of the insurance market. All the companies which will form part of the RMI Holdings portfolio are quality investments that excel in their own segments of the insurance market. 12

3. INFORMATION RELATING TO RMI HOLDINGS 3.1 History Main Street 796 (Proprietary) Limited was incorporated and registered in South Africa on 24 March 2010 as a private company under registration number 2010/005770/07 and converted to a public company on 14 June 2010. A special resolution to change Main Street 796 Limited s name to Rand Merchant Insurance Holdings Limited was passed on 7 December 2010 and lodged for registration with the Registrar of Companies. RMI Holdings is a subsidiary of RMBH and was incorporated for the specific purpose of holding RMBH s insurance assets pursuant to the proposed RMBH restructuring. The ordinary share capital structure of RMI Holdings (other than for the par value per share of RMI Holdings ordinary shares) mirrors that of RMBH to facilitate the RMI Holdings unbundling. 3.2 Nature of business RMI Holdings will be an investment entity with shareholdings in the insurance sector. There is currently no government protection or any investment encouragement law affecting the business of RMI Holdings. 3.3 Investment policy The main investment criteria for RMI Holdings for new investments can be described as classical value investing principles, namely: RMI Holdings will seek to invest in established businesses with demonstrated, consistent earning power, mainly in the financial services sector. It is unlikely that RMI Holdings will invest in turnaround or greenfield situations; RMI Holdings intends to invest in businesses with first class management teams, who should also hold a significant stake in the business, as RMI Holdings aims to enter into long-term partnerships with the management groups. It is intended that RMI Holdings will fund its investments through a combination of debt and equity. RMI Holdings does not believe that it would be appropriate for it to have insignificant stakes in listed South African entities where a shareholder would be able to invest directly. 3.4 Group structure Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions precedent to the RMBH restructuring, as described in the RMBH circular, RMI Holdings will be a listed insurance investment entity holding interests in Discovery, MMI, OUTsurance and RMB-SI, as set out in the diagram below: (a) Discovery Discovery is an integrated financial services organisation that operates in health insurance, life assurance, investment and health and wellness markets. Discovery operates in South Africa, the United Kingdom, China and the United States in the following key markets: Consumer-engaged health insurance Discovery offers health insurance products in South Africa, the United Kingdom and China through Discovery Health, PruHealth and Ping An Health. Discovery Health is wholly-owned and the Discovery group has a 75% share in PruHealth with Prudential plc. Discovery group has a 20% stake in Ping An Health in China. Consumer-engaged life assurance In South Africa, Discovery offers life assurance products through Discovery Life and in the United Kingdom through PruProtect. Discovery Life is wholly-owned, while at financial year end our share in the joint venture with Prudential plc was 50%. Effective 1 August 2010, Discovery has increased its share in PruHealth and PruProtect to 75%. 13

Investment and long-term savings Discovery Invest operates in the long-term savings and investment market in South Africa and is wholly-owned by Discovery. Discovery operates in the wellness and health market through the Vitality Group operational in South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States. Vitality is Discovery s science-based wellness programme and is the largest of its kind in the world with more than 1.6 million members worldwide. (b) OUTsurance OUTsurance is the holding company of a group, which conducts short-term and long-term insurance activities. Direct short-term insurance activities are conducted through direct insurers OUTsurance Insurance Company Limited and Youi (Proprietary) Limited (Australian subsidiary) and OUTsurance Namibia Insurance Company Limited (joint venture with FNB Namibia). Intermediated short-term insurance is provided by Momentum Short-Term Insurance Limited, a joint venture with Momentum. The short-term insurance offering includes personal and commercial (South Africa only) products. OUTsurance Life Insurance Company provides long-term insurance products direct to the South African public. The growth of OUTsurance can be attributed to a scientific approach to risk selection together with superior claims management and innovative product design. (c) RMB-SI RMB-SI provides a comprehensive range of tailored solutions to select clients in the short term and long term insurance sector. RMB-SI s business model is based on the following three pillars: Structured business products The structured business products developed by RMB-SI offers self insurance and reinsurance type solutions to corporates and other insurers. The structured business products are unique in that specialised skills are used to develop solutions for corporates through financial engineering. Each structured business product is different and not marketed to the general public in the manner in which a typical insurer would sell pre-designed products. The distribution and marketing of these type structured business products would be directly to corporates by a few specialised transactors within RMB-SI. Underwriting managers RMB-SI provides a mandate to specialist underwriters, who acts as intermediaries for RMB- SI, to underwrite certain specialised lines in the traditional insurance market. Affinity business The affinity business is very small and offers individual self insurance solutions mainly for corporates. (d) MMI Holdings MMI Holdings is the product of the merger of Momentum and Metropolitan. MMI Holdings is a leading insurance-based financial services group conducting business in South Africa and elsewhere in Africa. The business of MMI Holdings consists of life insurance, healthcare administration, asset management, short-term insurance and employee benefits. Following the implementation of the FirstRand transaction, the transfer of RMBH s insurance assets to RMI Holdings and the unbundling of RMI Holdings, RMI Holdings will, amongst other things, own approximately 18% of the ordinary shares in MMI Holdings. RMI Holdings intends to increase its stake in MMI Holdings to over 25% in order to prevent potential structural value traps. For this purpose, RMI Holdings plans to conclude the third FSL sale, which will enable it to increase its interest in MMI Holdings to approximately 24.4%. RMI Holdings will look to acquire additional shares in MMI Holdings in the market to allow RMI Holdings to hold at least 25%. 14

3.6 Prospects The directors are positive about RMI Holdings growth prospects in South Africa, Africa and internationally. RMI Holdings anticipates a modest return to growth in the South African economy in 2011, driven by further investment by South African Government and some improvement in consumption levels. Through creating a focused entity with a suite of significant investments in South Africa s pre-eminent insurance brands, the RMBH restructure should provide benefit to RMI Holdings shareholders. 3.7 Experienced management team The directors will initially be the current directors of RMBH. The RMBH directors have significant experience in managing investments of a long-term nature. Over the last 10 years, RMBH s headline earnings have increased from R810 million to R2 636 million (compound growth of 14%), capital and reserves have increased from R5 886 million to R20 642 million (compound growth of 15%) and the dividend cover has been consistent at 2.2 times over the last five years. 4.
