("PKI" or "the Offeror")
WAIVER OF THE MINIMUM CASH ACCEPTANCE CONDITION
NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN,

LAWS OR REGULATIONS OF SUCH JURISDICTION.

MAS Shareholders are referred to the announcement published by PKI on SENS on 4 August 2025 (the "PKI
SENS Announcement") and the accompanying voluntary bid circular published by PKI on the same date (the
"Circular").
Further to requests from MAS Shareholders and in light of positive feedback received regarding the level of
acceptances anticipated under the Voluntary Bid, PKI has agreed to waive the sole condition to the Voluntary

Important notes:
This announcement is not an offer. This announcement does not constitute a prospectus as contemplated in
the South African Companies Act, 2008 or a prospectus-equivalent document. Any decision in relation to the
Voluntary Bid should be made only on the basis of the information in the Circular and the other Transaction
Documents (as such term has been defined in the PKI SENS Announcement).
The release, publication or distribution of the Transaction Documents in jurisdictions other than South Africa
may be restricted by law and therefore persons who are subject to the laws of any jurisdiction other than South
Africa into which the Transaction Documents are released, published or distributed should inform themselves
about and observe any such restrictions. No action has been taken or will be taken to permit the possession or
distribution of the Transaction Documents (or any other offering or publicity materials relating to the Voluntary
Bid) in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose may be required or doing so is restricted or prohibited by
law. Accordingly, neither the Transaction Documents, nor any advertisement, nor any other offering material,
may be distributed or published except under circumstances that will comply with any applicable laws and
regulations. Persons into whose possession the Transaction Documents come should inform themselves about
and observe any such restrictions (including, without limitation, those described in further detail in the
Transaction Documents in relation to persons situated in the United States, the European Economic Area, the
United Kingdom, Switzerland, Australia and Namibia). Any failure to comply with the applicable restrictions may
constitute a violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable
laws, PKI disclaims any responsibility or liability for the violation of such requirements by any person.
It is the responsibility of the person (including, without limitation, nominees, agents and trustees for such person)
wishing to receive the Transaction Documents and/or subscribe for Consideration Instruments or otherwise
participate in the Voluntary Bid to satisfy themselves as to the full observance of the applicable laws of any
relevant territory, including obtaining any requisite governmental or other consents, observing any other
requirements or formalities and paying any issue, transfer or other taxes due in such territories. Any MAS
Shareholder who is in doubt about their position, including and without limitation their tax status, should consult
an appropriate professional advisor in the relevant jurisdiction without delay.
The information contained in the Transaction Documents constitutes factual information as contemplated in
section 1(3)(a) of the South African Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act, No. 37 of 2002, as
amended, and should not be construed as an express or implied recommendation, guide or proposal that the
Voluntary Bid, or the present or future business or investments of MAS is appropriate to the particular investment
objectives, financial situations or needs of any MAS Shareholder or prospective investor, and nothing in the
Transaction Documents should be construed as constituting the canvassing for, or marketing or advertising of,
financial services in South Africa.
Forward-looking statements
The Transaction Documents contain statements about PKI or MAS that are, or may be, forward-looking
statements. All statements, other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking
statements, including, without limitation, those concerning: strategy; the economic outlook for the industry;
production; cash costs and other operating results; growth prospects and outlook for operations, individually or
in the aggregate; liquidity and capital resources and expenditure and the outcome and consequences of any
pending litigation proceedings. These forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts, but rather
reflect current expectations concerning future results and events and generally may be identified by the use of
forward-looking words or phrases such as "believe", "aim", "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "foresee", "forecast",
"likely", "should", "planned", "may", "estimated", "potential" or similar words and phrases.
By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and
depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. There are a number of factors that could
cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking
statements as well as expectations based on existing disclosures regarding current or historical events and
conditions. In addition to the information regarding these risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors set
forth in the Transaction Documents, important risk factors that may cause such a difference, and which should
be considered in connection with a decision to participate in the Voluntary Bid. PKI cautions that forward-looking
statements are not guarantees of future performance.
Actual results, financial and operating conditions, liquidity and the developments within the industry in which
PKI operates may differ materially from those made in, or suggested by, the forward-looking statements
contained in the Transaction Documents. All these forward-looking statements about PKI are based on
estimates and assumptions regarding PKI, as made by PKI, and although PKI believes them to be reasonable,
are inherently uncertain. Such estimates, assumptions or statements may not eventuate. Factors which may
cause the actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results,
performance or achievements expressed or implied in those statements or assumptions include other matters
not yet known to PKI or not currently considered material by PKI.
MAS Shareholders should keep in mind that any forward-looking statement made in the Transaction Documents
or elsewhere is applicable only at the date on which such forward-looking statement is made. New factors that
could cause the business of PKI not to develop as expected may emerge from time to time and it is not possible
to predict all of them. Further, the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results
to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement are not known. PKI has no duty to,
and does not intend to, update or revise the forward-looking statements contained in the Transaction Documents
after the date of the Transaction Documents, except as may be required by law.
Any forward-looking statement has not been reviewed nor reported on by the external auditors.
Foreign MAS Shareholders
The Transaction Documents are governed by, and will be construed and implemented in accordance with, the
laws of South Africa and will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the South African courts. These South
African laws may be different from the laws applicable in other jurisdictions. Certain MAS Shareholders who
have a registered address in and/or who are nationals, citizens or residents of any country other than in South
Africa ("Applicable Jurisdiction") may be prohibited from participating in the Voluntary Bid and/or acquiring
Consideration Instruments and should consult and obtain advice from a professional advisor in the relevant
Applicable Jurisdiction without delay.
No action has been taken by PKI or MAS to obtain any approval, authorisation or exemption to permit the issue
of Consideration Instruments, or the possession or distribution of the Transaction Documents (or any other
publicly available documents relating to the Voluntary Bid), in any jurisdiction other than South Africa.
