Notice is hereby given that, in terms of the provisions of section 45(5)(a) of the Companies Act 71 of 2008

The existing shareholder loan amounting to €10 million, with a repayment date of 21 January 2023 (bearing
interest at 1.75%), will be amended to mature earlier on 28 November 2022, also with the intention to convert
this loan into Castellana equity.

In accordance with section 45 of the Companies Act, the board is satisfied and acknowledges that:
(i) immediately after providing such financial assistance, Vukile would have satisfied the solvency and
liquidity test as provided for in section 4 of the Companies Act; and
(ii) the terms under which such financial assistance has been given are fair and reasonable to Vukile.
