shareholders, in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 5 of the Companies Regulations, 2011.

Notes:

1.  All times given above and in the scheme circular are local times in South Africa and may be changed by mutual
    agreement, in writing, between Fairvest and Arrowhead (subject to the approval of the JSE and/or the TRP, if 
    required). The dates have been determined based on certain assumptions regarding the date by which certain
    shareholder and regulatory approvals will be obtained and that no court approval or review of the scheme resolution
    will be required. Any change in the dates and times will be released on SENS and ANS and published in the press.
2.  A form of proxy not lodged with the transfer secretaries may be handed to the chairperson of the scheme meeting at 
    any time prior to the commencement of the scheme meeting or prior to voting on any resolution to be proposed at the
    scheme meeting.
3.  If the scheme meeting is adjourned or postponed, a form of proxy submitted for the initial scheme meeting will remain
    valid in respect of any adjournment or postponement of the scheme meeting, unless it is withdrawn.
4.  If the scheme meeting is adjourned or postponed then forms of proxy that have not yet been submitted should be lodged
    with the transfer secretaries by no later than two business days before the adjourned or postponed scheme meeting but
    may nonetheless be handed to the chairperson of the adjourned or postponed scheme meeting at any time prior to the
    commencement of the adjourned or postponed scheme meeting or prior to voting on any resolution to be proposed at the
    adjourned or postponed scheme meeting.
5.  Fairvest shareholders should note that as transactions in shares are settled in the electronic settlement system used
    by Strate, settlement of trades takes place three business days after such trades. Therefore, Fairvest shareholders who
    acquire Fairvest shares after close of trade on Tuesday, 7 December 2021 will not be eligible to vote at the scheme
    meeting.
6.  No dematerialisation or rematerialisation of Fairvest shares may take place after Tuesday, 18 January 2022, being the
    last date to trade in Fairvest shares on the JSE in order to be recorded on the register on the scheme record date.
7.  If the scheme is approved by such number of Fairvest shareholders at the scheme meeting so that a Fairvest shareholder
    may require Fairvest to obtain court approval of the scheme as contemplated in section 115(3)(a) of the Companies Act, 
    and if a Fairvest shareholder in fact delivers such a request, the dates and times set out above will require amendment.
    Fairvest shareholders will be notified separately of the applicable dates and times under this process.
8.  If any Fairvest shareholder who votes against the scheme exercises its rights in terms of section 115(3)(b) of the
    Companies Act and applies to court for a review of the scheme, the dates and times set out above will require amendment.
    Fairvest shareholders will be notified separately of the applicable dates and times under this process.
