MEDIA SPECULATION

Shareholders are referred to the article published by Business Day on 30 July 2026 titled
"Standard Bank and Pepkor open exploratory talks over personal banking tie-up".

Pepkor notes the contents of the article and wishes to confirm that the Company is not
engaged in any discussions with Standard Bank (or any other bank) regarding a personal
banking tie-up or any other strategic partnership, as reported.

Accordingly, shareholders are advised that there is no information requiring disclosure in terms
