2. Rationale for the Change of Name
PBT Group has evolved over the years and has grown to more than a single brand and service offering. To
better reflect its entire service offering and to align with its growth strategy, PBT Group's name changes to PBT
Holdings, whilst remaining a leading technology business delivering enterprise-scale solutions and services to
blue-chip, mainly JSE Limited ("JSE")-listed clients. PBT Holdings provides its services to its clients via three
core brands, being PBT Technology Services (trading as PBT Group), PBT Insurance Technologies (trading as
PBTit) and CyberPro Consulting.
3. Details of the Change of Name
3.1. The name "PBT Holdings Limited" has been reserved with the Companies Intellectual Property
Commission ("CIPC").
3.2. The JSE has, subject to Shareholder approval, approved the Change of Name, with a new share code of
"PBT" and abbreviated name of "PBT HOLD".
3.3. The Company will remain listed in the "Technology – Software & Computer Service" sub-sector of the
Main Board – General Segment of the JSE and on the A2X stock exchange and will retain its historical
financial and share trading reference data.
3.4. The Company's ISIN will remain unchanged.
4. Distribution of circular
The Board has resolved that the resolutions relating to the Change of Name (the "Resolutions") be proposed
for approval by Shareholders by written consent, in terms of section 60 of the Companies Act, No 71 of 2008.
As such, Shareholders are entitled to exercise their voting rights in relation to the Resolutions within 20 business
days after the Resolutions have been dispatched to them.
A circular providing Shareholders with relevant information relating to the Change of Name, together with the
written Resolutions to be proposed to effect the Change of Name and consequential amendments to the
Company's Memorandum of Incorporation, a form of surrender and a form of written consent (the "Circular")
has been distributed to Shareholders today.
Copies of the Circular may be obtained from the registered office of the Company during office hours on business
days from Friday, 5 September 2025, at the address set out in the "Corporate Information" section of the Circular.

CSDP pending receipt of such information by the Company's transfer secretaries, together with their

A new PBT Holdings website will be launched on the same date that the Special Resolutions are registered with
CIPC, while the current website will remain the home of PBT Technology Services (trading as PBT Group). Until
further notice, please refer to the PBT Group website (https://www.pbtgroup.co.za/) for stakeholder
