VOLUNTARY ANNOUNCEMENT: COMPLETION OF THE MANDATORY TAKEOVER OFFER FOR SANLAM MAROC SHARES

Shareholders are advised that the implementation of the previously announced transaction between
Sanlam and Allianz S.E. on 4 September 2023, which resulted in the formation of Sanlam Allianz Africa
Proprietary Limited ("SanlamAllianz"), triggered a mandatory takeover offer (the "Mandatory Offer")
in Morocco in respect of Sanlam Maroc S.A. ("Sanlam Maroc"). Pursuant to the Mandatory Offer,
SanlamAllianz was required to make an offer to acquire Sanlam Maroc shares at a price of MAD1,320
per share in terms of article 18 of Moroccan law no. 26-03 relating to public offers on the public market
in Morocco.

Sanlam is pleased to advise that 982,198 shares, constituting 23.86% of Sanlam Maroc's issued share
capital, were offered by the shareholders of Sanlam Maroc in relation to the Mandatory Offer for a
total consideration of MAD1,296 million (ZAR2,430 million) which was ultimately funded by Sanlam
Emerging Markets Proprietary Limited, a subsidiary of Sanlam, and by Allianz Europe B.V, a subsidiary
of Allianz S.E., in line with their respective 60% and 40% shareholdings in SanlamAllianz. Following the
implementation of the Mandatory Offer, SanlamAllianz's shareholding in Sanlam Maroc will increase
from 61.73% to 85.59%.

Shareholders are referred to the publication issued on the website of the Moroccan Capital Market
Authority on 25 January 2024 containing the full notice relating to the results of the Mandatory Offer
