RESULTS OF THE GENERAL MEETING RELATING TO THE EQUITY SUBSCRIPTION IN TERMS OF THE
        ADOPTED BUSINESS RESCUE PLAN THROUGH A SPECIFIC ISSUE OF SHARES

INTRODUCTION

Shareholders are referred to the announcement released on the Stock Exchange News Service on Wednesday,
10 July 2024 ("Announcement") relating to the equity subscription in terms of the business rescue plan that was
formally approved and adopted on 11 January 2024 ("Adopted Plan") through a specific issue of shares ("Equity
Subscription") and the posting of a circular, including a notice of general meeting, to shareholders regarding the
Equity Subscription ("Circular"). Defined terms from the Announcement and the Circular refer, unless otherwise
defined below.

The Circular outlines the key features of the Adopted Plan and the Equity Subscription, which involves the
acquisition of the Lender Group Claims and the utilisation of a portion of such Lender Group Claims by Vision
Investments to subscribe for the Shares in THL by way of a debt-to-equity exchange. The approval and thereafter
the implementation of the Equity Subscription would result in Vision Investments owning 97.3% of the total issued
share capital of the Company.

SUSPENSIVE CONDITIONS AND SUBSEQUENT ACTIONS

Considering Shareholder approval has not been obtained for the Equity Subscription, this Suspensive Condition
is unfulfilled. Considering the Vision Transactions as contemplated in the Adopted Plan, the Business Rescue
Practitioners will continue to implement the Adopted Plan to implement the sale of the Company's assets as a
going concern, as a group, to the Vision Parties.

Shareholders will be kept informed as to the subsequent actions to be taken as a result of this outcome.
