An application will be made to the JSE to de-list 338,911 Ordinary Shares, at which point they will be immediately cancelled.
8,343,426 Ordinary Shares have already been cancelled. The Ordinary Shares remaining in issue following the cancellation
of the aforementioned shares amounts to 276,072,464. The Company does not hold any treasury shares.

The impact of the repurchase of the Ordinary Shares on the financial information of the Company is immaterial. The Ordinary
Shares were repurchased from excess cash resources of the Company; going forward, no Ordinary Share dividends will be
payable on the repurchased Ordinary Shares and interest earned on the cash utilised for the repurchases will be foregone.

No shares were repurchased during the Company's closed period from 01 October to 20 November 2024, being the
prohibited period as defined and stipulated in paragraph 5.72 of the Listings Requirements. The repurchases were made in
terms of the current General Authority effected through an order book operated by the JSE and executed without any prior
understanding or arrangement between the Company and the counterparties. Accordingly, the Company has complied with
paragraph 5.72(a) of the Listings Requirements.

Statement by the Board
The Board has considered the effect of the repurchases and is of the opinion that, for a period of 12 months following the
repurchases, the:
•   Company and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') will be able, in the ordinary course of business, to pay its debts;
•   consolidated assets of the Company and the Group will be in excess of the consolidated liabilities;
•   share capital and reserves of the Company and the Group will be adequate for ordinary business purposes; and
•   working capital of the Company and the Group will be adequate for ordinary business purposes.
