SABCAP GENERAL REPURCHASE OF SHARES

1. INTRODUCTION

   Under the general authority granted by shareholders at the Company's Annual General Meeting ("AGM")
   held on 18 May 2023, Sabcap, through its wholly owned subsidiary Sabvest Finance and Guarantee
   Corporation (Pty) Limited ("SFGC"), repurchased 180 000 Sabcap ordinary shares, all of which were
   cancelled and delisted in November 2023 (shareholders are referred to the announcement released on
   the Stock Exchange News Service on 5 December 2023 in this regard).

   SFGC, at various times, repurchased a further 750 000 Sabcap ordinary shares under that same general
   authority granted by shareholders on 18 May 2023, through to its expiration at the AGM on 23 May 2024.

   Under the new general authority granted by shareholders at the AGM on 23 May 2024, a further 100 000
   Sabcap ordinary shares were repurchased by SFGC.

   Consequently, a total of 850 000 Sabcap ordinary shares repurchased by SFGC under the above general
   authorities were held by SFGC as treasury shares.

   Shareholders are advised that the Company has, on 28 November 2024, repurchased all 850 000 Sabcap
   ordinary shares from SFGC for a total consideration of R82 million.

   Application will be made to the JSE Limited for the delisting of the 850 000 shares, with effect from the
   commencement of business on or about 6 December 2024. The repurchased shares will accordingly be
   cancelled by Sabcap on or about 6 December 2024 and will revert to the Company's authorised but
   unissued share capital, in accordance with section 35(5) of the Companies Act 71 of 2008.

   The highest number of Sabvest Limited shares in issue since its original listing was 52 327 962. Over the
   years this number has reduced through continued repurchases and cancellations at discounts to net asset
   value per share. Following this cancellation of 850 000 Sabcap ordinary shares, there are 38 370 000
   Sabcap ordinary shares in issue, representing a reduction of 26,7% from the highest number of Sabvest
   Limited/Sabcap shares ever in issue.
