2021.

Increase in Offer and Purchase Price

Land Bank is pleased to announce that it is hereby offering to buy back, directly from each holder of the Buy-

Buy-Back Offer Notes, held by each Noteholder.

The Purchase Price for the Buy-Back Offer Notes is hereby increased to 12% (from 10% in the Original Offer)
of the aggregate Nominal Amount, of the relevant Buy-Back Offer Notes held by each Noteholder on the
Participation Date, plus any Accrued, but Unpaid Interest on such 12% of the total Nominal Amount of the
relevant Buy-Back Offer Notes held by each Noteholder on the Participation Date. To be noted that the
Purchase Price will be rounded off to the nearest Rand (the Purchase Price will not include cents).

References to the following terms in the Original Offer or Buy-Back Instruction Form are hereby amended as
follows:

a. “10% of the Aggregate Nominal Amount” to “12% of the Aggregate Nominal Amount”.
b. “10% of the total Nominal Amount” to “12% of the total Nominal Amount”.
c.   “10% Nominal tendered” to “12% Nominal tendered”.
d. “10% of the Nominal Amount” to “12% of the Nominal Amount”.

The Participation Date remains 15 January 2021. All relevant dates per the Original Offer remain unchanged.

Acceptance of Offers

Land Bank wishes to clarify that where a duly completed Buy-Back Instruction form is received by email by
Land Bank by 12h00 on the relevant Buy-Back Offer Closing Date in accordance with the terms set out in the
SENS of 11 January 2021, then Land Bank will accept such offer and there is no requirement for Land Bank
to send an acknowledgement return email to the seller.

Land Bank shall have no liability to any person for any refusal to accept an offer of Buy-Back Offer Notes for
purchase pursuant to the Buy-Back Offer. In particular, offers of Buy-Back Offer Notes for purchase may be
