DENEL GROUP 1 PRESENTATION TO THE PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE Messrs Riaz Saloojee, Fikile Mhlontlo and Ms Natasha Davies 12 March 2013

DENEL GROUP 2 BACKGROUND Denel had a positive presentation of its annual report to the Portfolio Committee in October 2012; Significant matters raised by the committee were the status of the R700m recap, the development of the group ‘s funding model, status of major local opportunities, certain HR and transformation matters as well as the strategic nature of Denel; Denel responded in writing in respect of the HR and transformation matters in November 2012; This presentation will address: o Status of the recap and sustainable funding model o Status of major local opportunities o HR and Transformation matters including:  Retention of black males;  Employment Equity; and  Youth Development Programs.

DENEL GROUP 3 STATUS OF RECAP AND FUNDING MODEL

DENEL GROUP 4 Received R400m from the Shareholder in December 2012, expecting the balance of R300m to flow by end of March Received a five year R1.85bn guarantee from Government replacing the historical 12 and 18 month guarantees. Restructured the debt into three year and five year bonds, thereby mitigating liquidity risk on debt renewal. Denel has embarked on fairly positive discussions with National Treasury and DPE regarding what is termed a "sustainable funding model". The corporate plan for the next five years shows that the business will improve its financial performance to a sustainable profit. STATUS OF RECAP AND FUNDING MODEL

DENEL GROUP 5 MAJOR LOCAL OPPORTUNITIES

DENEL GROUP 6 The following major local opportunities are in process: Hoefyster production o Good progress made to date. GBADS o Proposal in respect of phase 2 submitted. Definition is being refined. o GBADS I handed over to SANDF in March A-Darter o The phase 1 project is substantially on track and funding is committed. o Schedule aligned with updated A-Darter development schedule and related projects are in the process of being activated. MAJOR LOCAL OPPORTUNITIES

DENEL GROUP 7 HR AND TRANSFORMATION

DENEL GROUP 8 RETENTION Denel’s labour turnover rate for the past financial year was 6.7% which is within our target range of 5% to 7%; An in-depth exit interview is conducted for all employees upon termination; Whilst salary surveys have indicated that Denel pays well within the market range, some respondents still indicate economic reasons for their departure; Generational theory suggests that younger employees change jobs and careers more frequently, which has an impact on our retention rate; Our current projected labour turnover figures reflect an increase in our turnover to about 8.4% which could be attributed to the recent retrenchments. RETENTION IN PARTICULAR OF YOUNG BLACK ENGINEERS & TECHNICIANS IS A MANAGEMENT FOCUS AREA.

DENEL GROUP 9 EMPLOYMENT EQUITY Denel has developed a 5-year EE Plan following a DG Review by the Department of Labour conducted in In order to improve employment equity within the organisation, the following key interventions have been embarked upon: o Appointment of Deputy CEO’s at each of the Denel Divisions; o All appointments are based on a 70/30 principle; o Specific focus on appointment of women & people with disabilities; o Succession planning & skills development to fast track the development of ACI’s. DENEL IS COMMITTED TO CREATING A DIVERSE WORKFORCE

DENEL GROUP 14 Denel is involved in a number of programmes that seek to attract and encourage potential learners to take studies that are related to its business. These programmes target students from various institutions. WOMEN IN ENGINEERING Denel is partnering with the SA Women in Engineering, spearheaded by a group of young female engineers who have a passion of encouraging female learners to enter the field of engineering, science and technology. Denel funds this programme along with other organisations who are also plagued by skills shortages. ARMSCOR LEDGER FUND Denel sponsors postgraduate studies through the Armscor Ledger Fund. Often, recipients of this funding have opportunities to present their academic papers overseas. ATTRACTING YOUTH INTO THE INDUSTRY
