MANDATORY ROTATION OF EXTERNAL AUDITOR


Shareholders are advised that pursuant to the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors’
(“IRBA”) rule regarding mandatory audit firm rotation, Bell Equipment’s board (“the Board”)
has endorsed a recommendation by the Company’s audit committee, following a
comprehensive “request for proposals” process, to propose PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc.
(“PWC”) for appointment by shareholders as the new external auditor of Bell Equipment and
its subsidiaries for the financial year commencing on 1 January 2024, with Mr. Pieter
Vermeulen as the designated individual auditor. A proposal to this effect will be tabled at the
Company’s annual general meeting (AGM) in 2024.

Subject to its reappointment at the Company’s AGM in 2023, the incumbent external auditor,
Deloitte & Touche (“Deloitte”), will remain as the Company’s auditors for the financial year
ending 31 December 2023. Deloitte’s appointment will terminate upon the conclusion of the
audit of the financial year ending 31 December 2023 in accordance with the mandatory audit
firm rotation rule issued by the IRBA.

Bell Equipment will issue a further announcement once shareholder approval in respect of
PWC’s appointment has been obtained.
