CORRECTION IN SHAREHOLDING FOR LAZARD ASSET MANAGEMENT LLC ("Lazard")
Shareholders and noteholders are referred to the announcement released on SENS on 6 March 2026
in which they were advised that Lazard had, on behalf of its clients, in aggregate, acquired an interest
in the ordinary shares of the Company such that the total interest in the ordinary shares of the Company
held by Lazard's clients amounted to 16.2782% of the total issued ordinary shares of the Company.
As required in terms of section 122(3)(a) of the Companies Act, the Company filed the required notices
with the Takeover Regulation Panel ("TRP").
On 16 March 2026, Lazard notified the Company that its 5 March 2026 TRP notification was filed
erroneously, due to an incorrect file received from a third-party provider which caused Lazard's
automated systems to indicate that its ownership in Life Healthcare exceeded the 15% disclosure
threshold.
Following Lazard's discovery of the error, Life Healthcare reported the incorrect filing to the TRP on
Monday, 16 March 2026 and received Lazard's reasons for the error on 24 March 2026.
Lazard has confirmed that, as of end of day 20 March 2026, its clients hold 14.59% of the total issued
securities of Life Healthcare.
The Board accepts responsibility for the information contained in this announcement and to the best of
its knowledge and belief the information is correct. To the Board's knowledge, where appropriate, this
announcement does not omit anything likely to affect the importance of the information contained
herein.
