FINALISATION ANNOUNCEMENT IN RESPECT OF THE REORGANISATION
1. INTRODUCTION
AGA Shareholders are referred to the Disclosure Package (comprising the Circular and the Pre-
listing Statement) and the announcement of the results of the Shareholders’ Meeting released
on SENS on Friday, 18 August 2023, wherein it was confirmed that the resolutions necessary to
approve the Reorganisation, which comprises the Spin-off, the AGAH Sale and the Scheme,
were approved by the requisite majority of AGA Shareholders present (in person or represented
by proxy) at the Shareholders’ Meeting held on Friday, 18 August 2023.
2. FULFILMENT OF THE REORGANISATION CONDITIONS
AGA and NewCo are pleased to confirm that all of the Reorganisation Conditions outlined as
outstanding in the aforementioned Circular have now been fulfilled or waived (where permitted),
as the case may be.
The implementation of the Reorganisation will ultimately result in, inter alia:

parent company of the Group, with:
o the same shareholders as AGA immediately prior to implementation of the
Reorganisation; and
o a primary listing on the NYSE and secondary inward listings on the JSE and A2X in
South Africa and a secondary listing on the GhSE in Ghana; and
• the delisting of AGA Ordinary Shares from the JSE, GhSE and A2X, the AGA ADSs from
