Mr MJ (Markus) Jooste and Mr AB (Ben) la Grange have resigned as non-executive

the afore-mentioned board changes:
“On behalf of the board of KAP I convey our sincere gratitude to Markus and Ben for the
valuable contributions which they have made towards the success of KAP. Markus has
served on the board of KAP for 13 years while Ben has served on this board since April
2012. We wish Markus and Ben every success in their exciting endeavours at Steinhoff
and the recently listed STAR.
It also gives me great pleasure to welcome Theodore and Louis to the board. They bring
a diverse mix of knowledge, skills and expertise which will bring new insights and fresh
perspectives to the deliberations of the board. I am excited about these appointments and
I look forward to Theodore’s and Louis’ future contributions to KAP.”
