 DEMAND TO CALL A SHAREHOLDERS MEETING AND DIRECTOR RESIGNATIONS - UPDATE

Shareholders are referred to the announcement issued by the Company on 1 September 2020 advising
that, after close of business on 21 August 2020, the board of directors of the Company received a
demand in terms of section 61(3) (the “Demand”) of the Companies Act, No 71 of 2008 (the
“Companies Act”) from Growth Equities Proprietary Limited (“Growth Equities”) to call a general
meeting of shareholders (“General Meeting”) (the “Announcement”). The announcement further
noted that the Board was obtaining advice on the matter.

The Board’s investigation into the matter has revealed that Growth Equities is not a shareholder of
the Company. In the Announcement dated 1 September 2020, the Company mistakenly stated that
Growth Equities was a shareholder with a 17.38% interest in the voting rights of the Company.
Following an examination of and investigation into the Company’s share register, the custodian of
which is Computershare Limited, it is apparent that Growth Equities sold all its shares and is no longer
a shareholder of the Company as of 31 May 2019.

In the circumstances, Growth Equities does not, in terms of section 61(3) of the Companies Act or at
all, have the locus standi to demand a General Meeting as it purported to do. Accordingly, the
Company withdraws the call for a General Meeting as demanded by Growth Equities.

The Company will investigate further the circumstances surrounding the Demand as they relate to
Growth Equities and will take whatever action may be advisable in an effort to maintain confidence in
the Company and the market as a whole.

Shareholders will be advised on the outcome and import of such further investigations in respect of
the Demand in due course.

Shareholders are advised that the Company’s previous designated advisor resigned and that the
Company is in the process of appointing a new designated advisor.
