RELEASE OF SHARES PLEDGED BY A DIRECTOR DURING PERMITTED SALE PERIOD


Shareholders are referred to the 'Pledge of Shares by a Director' announcement released on SENS on 28 June
2024 ("Announcement") regarding the conclusion of a pledge and cession in security agreement ("Pledge")
in terms of which Dzana Investments Proprietary Limited ("Dzana"), a company of which Ms Nkateko Khoza, a
non-executive director of Italtile, is the Chief Executive Officer and a 20% shareholder, and through which she
holds an indirect beneficial interest in Italtile, pledged and ceded in security, 3 397 264 Italtile ordinary shares
held by it at the time ("Pledged Shares") to and in favour of Rallen Proprietary Limited ("Rallen").

Shareholders are further referred to the 'Partial Release of Shares Pledged by a Director' announcement
released on SENS on 7 April 2025, which disclosed the partial release of a portion of the Pledged Shares. A
total of 193 826 Pledged Shares were disposed of, resulting in a reduction in the number of Pledged Shares
that remained subject to the Pledge.

The Pledged Shares served as security for Dzana's financial obligations towards Rallen under the guarantee
("Guarantee") provided by Dzana to Rallen in terms of which Dzana had guaranteed the repayment of a loan
("Loan") made by Rallen to Hoyohoyo Hotels and Resorts Proprietary Limited ("Hoyohoyo"), a company whose
shareholders are Ms Khoza's extended family.

As indicated in the Announcement, the repayment of the Loan is due by 28 June 2025, unless Rallen agrees
to the extension of the term of the Loan.
