Press Release Summary: Cape Town, 30 September 2008 - PIC Solutions, the leading
specialist credit risk management consultancy in the Africa Middle East region, will
present at the Gordon Institute for Business (GIBS) conference, Future of South
African Banking, in Johannesburg.

Press Release Body: As an emerging market, Africa represents an exciting opportunity
for future growth and investment, however such growth is hindered by challenges such
as the tough economic environment, competitive market practices and the disparity in
processes and capabilities when compared to global banking leaders. These challenges
have considerable implications for the banking sector in South Africa.

The theme of this conference is ‘Setting the New Competitive Agenda for SA Banks’
and the event will be held on 1 October at the GIBS Auditorium. This conference
will help delegates, in both the retail and commercial banking sectors, discover new
ways to increase revenue growth, reduce costs and maximise customer services by
providing them with valuable information and practical knowledge of:

 Achieving top-line growth through market share improvement and price
enhancement
 Strategies for organic growth
 Engaging the lower third of the economic pyramid
 Leveraging infrastructure for growth
 Moving beyond a growth agenda: developing a “can do” culture
 Improving branch performance
 Leveraging customer service representatives through investments in people
 Mobile banking or bankless mobile payments?
 90 days from idea to implementation: the new goal for product development
 Outsourcing cost of delivery: engaging customers with self-service

Simon Trupp and J. Nick Geimer, Directors at PIC Solutions, will be presenting on
their respective topics - Strategies for Organic Growth; and Leveraging Customer
Service Representatives through investments in people.

Stephen J. Leonard, Chief Executive Officer at PIC Solutions, states, “There has
been significant growth and change experienced in the South African banking industry
of late. This conference will benefit the banking sector and will provide delegates
with knowledge covering key topics and issues relevant to the South African banking
industry. It is a privilege for PIC Solutions to be presenting at this conference
and we believe that participation will be of great benefit to the delegates.”
