Change to the board – Retirement of independent non-executive director

Shareholders are advised, in accordance with section 3.59 of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, that Professor
Fatima Abrahams decided not to stand for re-election to the TFG board of directors ("Board") at yesterday's AGM and
therefore retired following the conclusion of the AGM. As a result, ordinary resolution number 3, as set out in the
notice convening the AGM, was withdrawn. Consequently, Fatima also stepped down as Chairperson of the Social &
Ethics Committee and as a member of the Risk, Remuneration and Nomination committees. The resultant vacancies
on these committees will be filled in due course and announced to shareholders, where required.

Fatima has been an independent non-executive director of the Board for over twenty years, during which time she
served in various capacities, including as a member of the Audit Committee and the committees mentioned above.
The Board and management of TFG wish to express their gratitude and appreciation to Fatima for her contribution to
the Group.

Commenting on Fatima's retirement, Michael Lewis, chairman of TFG said:

"Fatima has served TFG with distinction over the years and on behalf of all my board colleagues and the TFG
management team, I thank Fatima for her service, camaraderie and invaluable contributions to the Group. We will all
miss her and wish her well in all her future endeavours".
