Update in the JSE’s decision on its proactive monitoring review for Trustco Group Holdings
Limited (“Company” or “Trustco”) financial results.

We refer to the JSE’s SENS announcement of 14 July 2022, which informed stakeholders
that following the JSE's decision to suspend the listing of the Trustco's securities ("the
Suspension Decision"), the following occurred:

   1. On 13 July 2022, the Financial Services Tribunal ("the Tribunal") dismissed
      Trustco’s Suspension Application for a suspension of the Suspension Decision
      pending the outcome of its reconsideration application in respect of the same
      decision ("the Suspension Application");

   2. On the same date, Trustco indicated its intention to re-enrol its urgent application in
      the High Court ("the Urgent Application") in which it asked for an interim interdict
      against the enforcement of the following decisions pending a review thereof initiated
      in the High Court ("the Review Application"):

   2.1.    the Suspension Decision;

   2.2.    the JSE's decision of 11 November 2020, in which the JSE, first, found that
           Trustco did not comply with the Listings Requirements in relation to its Annual
           Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2019 and interim results for
           the 6 months ended 30 September 2019, and, second, directed Trustco to take
           steps to rectify its non-compliance ("the JSE Decision"); and

   2.3.    the ruling of the Tribunal of 22 November 2021, which dismissed Trustco's
           application for reconsideration of the JSE's Decision ("the Tribunal's Ruling");

   3. Trustco also requested that the JSE postpone implementation of the Suspension
      Decision from close of business on 20 July 2022 to close of business on
      29 July 2022, in order to facilitate the preparation of the Urgent Application for
      hearing, following the numerous developments that occurred after the date on which
      it was initially enrolled for hearing. The JSE agreed to this request, in order to
      facilitate the orderly resolution of the matter by the Court.

On 28 July 2022, the Urgent Application was argued before the Honourable Judge
Janse van Nieuwenhuizen who reserved judgment. During the argument of the Urgent
Application, and in deference to the Honourable Judge the JSE agreed not to implement
the Suspension Decision until the Court had given judgment.

On 8 August 2022, the Honourable Judge Janse van Nieuwenhuizen delivered her
judgment in which she ordered that the JSE is interdicted and restrained from implementing
the JSE Decision, the Tribunal's Ruling and the Suspension Decision pending the outcome
of the Review Application.

The Review Application is set down for hearing on 5 September 2022, the imminence of
this date being a material consideration during the argument of Urgent Application.

The JSE will publish a further SENS once the Court has ruled on the Review Application.
