APPOINTMENT OF NIGEL PAYNE AS A NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Shareholders are advised that in accordance with paragraph 3.59 of the JSE Listings Requirements,
the board is delighted to announce the appointment of Mr Nigel Payne (British) as an independent non-
executive director of Sun International with effect from 11 May 2021.

Nigel is a well-renowned global sports betting and alternate gaming expert with more than 30 years of
board experience, involving FTSE, AIM and private companies in the UK, covering a wide range of
industries.

His impressive track record in the global sports betting industry, particularly in the UK, which is the
largest global online gaming market, includes his tenure as chief executive of Sportingbet plc from 2000
to 2006 and subsequently as a non-executive director and industry consultant until 2011. Sportingbet
plc is one of the world’s largest internet gambling companies, offering internet sports betting, poker and
casinos in 185 countries. Under his guidance, Sportingbet plc experienced record growth, including the
acquisitions of Betmaker.com in the US and The Number One Betting Shop in Australia.

Nigel’s global expertise in online gaming spans every continent, including Africa. His numerous
achievements include the listing, scale-up and exit of Stride Gaming plc in the UK, where he served as
non-executive chairman. He has also on several occasions, in his personal capacity, advised the White
House regarding US internet gambling regulations and continues to impart his knowledge regarding the
global sports betting industry through his current roles as chairman of Green Man Gaming plc, as a
non-executive director of Ascot Racecourse Betting and Gaming Limited and as an industry consultant
to Spreadex limited.

Following the impressive growth of SunBet, the board believes that going forward, online gaming will
be a key and significant strategic growth focus area for Sun International.

The board welcomes Nigel as a director to the Sun International board and looks forward to his
significant experience and contribution towards the development and accelerated growth of the group’s
alternate gaming business.
