UPDATE ON SCHEME OF ARRANGEMENT

A combined circular to shareholders (Circular) was issued by Long4Life and Project Oxygen Bidco
Proprietary Limited (OMPE Bidco) on Monday, 31 January 2022, which set out the terms whereby
OMPE Bidco has made a cash offer to acquire all the shares in Long4Life at R6.20 per Long4Life share
by way of a Scheme of Arrangement (Scheme) in accordance with section 114(1)(c) of the Companies
Act (read with section 115 of the Companies Act). Approval of the Scheme by the Long4Life
Shareholders by way of special resolution was obtained on 28 February 2022.

Unless otherwise defined, all capitalised terms used in this announcement shall bear the meanings
ascribed to them in the Circular. Shareholders are also referred to the update on the Scheme published
on SENS on 21 April 2022.

In terms of paragraph 5.7.2 of the Circular, Long4Life delivered to OMPE Bidco the LPM Management
Accounts and the LPM Confirmation Notice. With the consent of the Takeover Regulation Panel (TRP),
Long4Life and OMPE Bidco have agreed that, inter alia –

1. for purposes of paragraphs 5.7 and 5.8 of the Circular and paragraph 6 of the Firm Intention Letter
   the Last Practical Month-end shall be the last day of Long4Life’s February 2022 financial monthly
   reporting period (Agreed Last Practical Month-end);

2. the Long4Life financial metrics as set out in paragraph 5.7 of the Circular have been met by
   Long4Life as at the Agreed Last Practical Month-end; and

3. there shall be no adjustments to the Scheme Consideration in the manner contemplated in
   paragraphs 5.7 and 5.8 of the Circular, other than in terms of paragraph 5.6.2 of the Circular
   pursuant to which the Scheme Consideration shall increase by an amount equal to 5% per annum,
   calculated from 1 May 2022 to the Operative Date (both dates inclusive).

Shareholders are further advised that the South African Competition Commission has recommended
to the Competition Tribunal of South Africa (Competition Tribunal) that the Scheme be approved
without conditions. The matter has been set down for hearing tomorrow, 12 May 2022, and
shareholders will be updated in this regard as soon as the decision of the Competition Tribunal comes
to hand.

If the requisite approval has been obtained from the Competition Tribunal and the necessary
compliance certificate has been issued by the TRP in relation to the Scheme in terms of
section 119(4)(b) of the Companies Act, the last of the Scheme Conditions will be fulfilled to enable
implementation of the Scheme.
Shareholders are referred to the indicative salient dates and times as set out in the Circular, which
dates will be confirmed in the finalisation announcement if the Scheme becomes unconditional.

The board of directors of Long4Life accepts responsibility for the accuracy of the information
contained in this update and certifies that, to the best of Long4Life's board's knowledge and belief,
such information is true and does not omit anything likely to affect the importance of the information
