TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 JUNE 2025

In terms of paragraph 3.4(b) of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, a company is required to publish
a trading statement as soon as the company becomes reasonably certain that the financial results for the
period to be reported on will differ by at least 20% from that of the comparative reporting period.

The shareholders of Rainbow are advised that the Company expects its earnings per share ("EPS") for the
year ended 29 June 2025 ("current period") to be between 62.02 cents (+206%) and 66.07 cents (+226%)
when compared to the EPS of 20.25 cents for the year ended 30 June 2024 ("comparative period"). Headline
earnings per share ("HEPS") for the current period is expected to be between 63.55 cents (+214%) and 67.60
cents (+234%) when compared to the HEPS of 20.26 cents for the comparative period.

The expected improvement in EPS and HEPS relative to the comparative period can be mainly attributed to
higher sales volumes, continued improvements in agricultural and operational performance, lower commodity
input costs coupled with a reduction in expenses related to energy loadshedding and Avian Influenza. In
addition, due to Rainbow's improved profitability and the recapitalisation of the Company prior to its unbundling,
finance costs have reduced relative to the comparative period.

The financial information in this trading statement has not been reviewed or reported on by the Group's
auditors.

The Group's financial results for the current period are expected to be published on SENS on or about
Thursday, 28 August 2025.
