SABZK Trading statement for the six months ended 30 June 2025

SABZK is currently in the process of finalising its results for the six months ended 30 June 2025
(HY 25) and provides this trading statement in accordance with paragraph 3.4(b)(i) of the JSE
Limited Listings Requirements (JSE Listings Requirements).

The JSE Listings Requirements require that issuers publish a trading statement as soon as they
are satisfied that a reasonable degree of certainty exists that the financial results for the period
to be reported upon next will differ by at least 20% from the financial results for the previous
corresponding period.

Accordingly, due to the fair value gain on the investment in Anheuser-Busch InBev for the six
months ended 30 June 2025 of R1,4 billion from a loss of R700 million for the six months ended
30 June 2024 (HY 24), shareholders are advised that SABZK expects to report an increase in
earnings per share (EPS)/headline earnings per share (HEPS) against HY 24 of greater than
100%.

R1 218,61 at 30 June 2025, R937,98 at 31 December 2024 and R1 063,17 at 30 June 2024,
shareholders are further advised that SABZK expects to report an increase in Net Asset Value
per share (NAVPS) against HY 24 results of between 11% and 22%.
