DECLARATION OF SPECIAL ORDINARY AND PREFERENCE SHARE DIVIDENDS SUBJECT TO
RESERVE BANK APPROVAL


Special dividend and rationale
At the end of the 2025 Financial Year, Caxton's cash resources topped R3 billion for the first time. Caxton
has since reviewed its ongoing cash generation in the subsequent 6 months of trading as well as taken
account of its normal dividend of 70c per share for the year ended 30 June 2025 (R247,5m).

The Company has considered its foreseeable short- and medium-term cash requirements as well as existing
opportunities and prospective transactions that may present themselves from time to time.

Taking all the above into account, the Caxton Board has resolved that it is in a position to declare once-off
special dividends from its profits available for distribution of 100 cents per ordinary share (R353.5m) and
798 cents per preference share (R399k). These dividend declarations are non-recurring.

Dividends
The Board has declared a special dividend of 100 cents per ordinary share (gross) and a special dividend
per preference share of 798 cents (gross).

The special dividends are subject to the Dividend Withholding Tax. In accordance with the provisions of the
JSE Listings Requirements, the following additional information is disclosed:

-   the dividends have been declared out of current profits available for distribution
-   the Dividend Withholding Tax rate is 20%
-   the gross dividend amount is 100 cents per ordinary share and 798 cents per preference share for
    shareholders exempt from Dividend Withholding Tax
-   the nett dividend amount is 80 cents per ordinary share and 638,40 cents per preference share for
    shareholders liable for Dividend Withholding Tax
-   the Company has 353 520 190 ordinary shares in issue
-   the Company has 50 000 preference shares in issue
-   the Company's income tax reference number is: 9175/167/71/8

The following dates are indicative only as the special dividends are subject to the approval of the South
African Reserve Bank, and shareholders will be advised in a further announcement of the final dates
applicable to the special dividends.

The expected finalisation date is Tuesday , 17 February 2026.
