SUCCESSFUL REFINANCING OF EXISTING DEBT FACILITIES AND NOTIFICATION IN TERMS OF SECTION 45(5) OF THE COMPANIES ACT 
71 OF 2008


Shareholders are advised that, following the successful capital raise, EOH concluded financing agreements with The
Standard Bank of South Africa Limited (acting through its Corporate and Investment Banking division) on 31 March
2023 to refinance the Group's remaining debt package as follows:

    -   a R200 million 4-year amortising term loan;
    -   a R250 million 3-year bullet term loan;
    -   a R250 million 4-year revolving credit facility; and
    -   R500 million general banking facilities which will include a working capital facility and ancillary banking
        facilities.

The refinancing provides EOH with a normalised debt structure with a single bank and significantly lowers the cost of
debt for the Group, allowing management to focus on driving growth in operations.

As the conclusion of the refinancing agreements constitutes the provision by EOH of direct and/or indirect financial
assistance in terms of section 45(1) of the Companies Act 71 of 2008 ("the Companies Act"), notice is hereby given
that, in terms of section 45(5)(a) of the Companies Act 7, and pursuant to the special resolution passed at the annual
general meeting of EOH held on Tuesday, 13 December 2022 authorising the board of directors of EOH ("the Board")
to provide direct or indirect financial assistance to related or inter-related parties, the Board has adopted a resolution 
on 30 March 2023 in terms of section 45(3)(b) of the Companies Act, authorising EOH to provide financial assistance to
related companies of EOH as contemplated in section 45(2) of the Companies Act in relation to the conclusion of the
refinancing agreements, which financial assistance exceeds one-tenth of one per cent of the Company's net worth at the
time of the adoption of the Board resolution.

In accordance with section 45 of the Companies Act, the Board is satisfied and acknowledges that:

    -   the terms under which such financial assistance has been given are fair and reasonable to EOH; and
    -   immediately after providing such financial assistance, EOH would have satisfied the solvency and liquidity test
        as provided for in section 4 of the Companies Act.
