RESCHEDULING OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND IMPACT OF COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS

Shareholders are referred to the ‘Summarised condensed results for the year ended 31 December 2019’
announcement released on SENS on 31 March 2020 wherein it was stated, inter alia, that the summarised
annual financial statements, including the notice of annual general meeting, were expected to be distributed to
shareholders on 30 April 2020 and that the annual general meeting will be held at 10:00 on Wednesday, 10 June
2020 at 11 Wellington Road, Parktown, to transact the business stated in the notice of the annual general
meeting.
Due the nationwide lockdown imposed in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, shareholders are advised
that:

 -   the summarised annual financial statements, including the notice of annual general meeting, were unable
     to be distributed to shareholders on 30 April 2020;
 -   the notice of annual general meeting issued on 31 March 2020 has been withdrawn; and
 -   the annual general meeting which was to be held on Wednesday, 10 June 2020 has been rescheduled,
     as set out below.

Accordingly, shareholders are hereby advised that the summarised annual financial statements, including the
revised notice of annual general meeting, have been distributed to shareholders today, 28 May 2020 and are
available on the Company's website, www.workforce.co.za.

Furthermore, notice is hereby given that the annual general meeting of the Company’s shareholders will now
be held at 10:00 on Monday, 6 July 2020 at 11 Wellington Road, Parktown, or via the Microsoft Teams platform,
to transact the business stated in the notice of the annual general meeting.

The board of directors of the Company determined that, in terms of section 62(3)(a), as read with section 59 of
the Companies Act, 2008 (Act 71 of 2008), as amended, the record date for the purposes of determining which
shareholders of the Company are entitled to participate in and vote at the annual general meeting is Friday,
26 June 2020. Accordingly, the last day to trade Workforce shares in order to be recorded in the register to be
entitled to vote will be Tuesday, 23 June 2020.

As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak and the uncertainty surrounding the level of restrictions that will be
applicable at the time of the annual general meeting, it is possible that shareholders will be required to
participate in the annual general meeting via electronic means only, rather than participate in person. In addition,
shareholders’ attention is also drawn to the guidance from authorities regarding the need for social distancing,
and therefore shareholders are encouraged to make use of proxies for purposes of voting at the annual general
meeting.

To the extent that the annual general meeting will be held entirely via electronic means, shareholders will be
advised thereof by way of an announcement published on SENS during the week prior to the date of such
meeting. Shareholders are referred to the revised notice of annual general meeting and the Appendix 1 thereto
for instructions on how to participate electronically at the annual general meeting.
