Amendments to the Barloworld MOI not approved by Barloworld Ordinary Shareholders

Barloworld Preference Shareholders are referred to the announcement released on SENS on Wednesday, 26
February 2025 of the results of the General Meeting which confirmed that Barloworld Ordinary Shareholders did not
approve the Preference Share Terms Amendment in terms of Special Resolution Number 4 tabled at the General
Meeting. As referred to in the Circular, the Preference Share Terms Amendment requires an amendment to the
Barloworld MOI and as such, must be approved by a special resolution adopted by Barloworld Ordinary Shareholders
on the one hand, and by Barloworld Preference Shareholders on the other. Therefore, the Preference Share Terms
Amendment (and related amendments to the Barloworld MOI) have not been approved.
Accordingly, Barloworld Preference Shareholders are advised that the amendments to the Barloworld MOI will not
be filed with Companies and Intellectual Property Commission. Consequently, the Barloworld Preference Shares will:
(i) not become redeemable Preference Shares; and (ii) not be redeemed and thereafter Delisted from the Main Board
of the JSE and A2X.
