POSTING OF SCHEME CIRCULAR AND SALIENT DATES AND TIMES IN RESPECT OF THE
DELISTING


1.    Posting of scheme circular and notice of scheme meeting

      Shareholders are referred to the firm intention announcement released on SENS on 27 November 2020 wherein
      KayDav shareholders were advised that in order to give effect to the delisting of KayDav from the main board of
      the JSE (“the delisting”), the KayDav board of directors ( “the KayDav Board”) had resolved that the Company
      should repurchase the entire issued share capital of KayDav, other than the shares held by the excluded
      shareholders, to be effected by way of a scheme of arrangement in terms of section 114(1)(c) of the Companies
      Act, No. 71 of 2008, as amended (“the Companies Act”) (read with section 115 of the Companies Act).

      KayDav has, on Wednesday, 9 December 2020, distributed a circular (“the circular”) to its shareholders relating
      to the delisting by way of a scheme of arrangement in terms of section 114(1)(c) of the Companies Act, between
      KayDav and KayDav shareholders (“the scheme”) and the manner in which the scheme and delisting will be
      implemented.

      Copies of the circular are available on the Company’s website at www.kaydav.co.za. Due to the lockdown
      restrictions imposed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, shareholders will not be able to obtain any copies of
      the circular from the offices of KayDav.

      A scheme meeting of KayDav shareholders will be held at 10:00 am on Wednesday, 20 January 2021 at
      105 Bamboesvlei Road, Ottery, Cape Town, 7800, for the purpose of considering and, if deemed fit, passing, with
      or without modification, the resolutions required to approve, inter alia, the scheme (“the scheme meeting”). In
      light of the guidance from the South African Government regarding the need for social distancing, as a result of
      the COVID-19 pandemic, shareholders are encouraged to make use of proxies for purposes of voting at the
      scheme meeting. In the event of a future regulations or directives or preventative measures relating to COVID-
      19, shareholders or their proxies may be prevented from attending the scheme meeting in person. In such
      circumstances, KayDav may determine, by way of notice to shareholders published on SENS and in the South
      African press by no later than 10 (ten) business days prior to the scheme meeting, that the scheme meeting will
      take place entirely by electronic means and/or that shareholders or their proxies will be entitled to vote
      electronically, which notice will include details and instructions of such arrangement.

2.    Opinions and recommendations of the independent board

      The independent board of KayDav, comprising Shane van Niekerk, Boitumelo Tlhabanelo and Frank Davidson
      (“the independent board”) appointed Nodus Capital TS Proprietary Limited (“Nodus”) to provide the
      independent board with its opinion as to whether the terms of the scheme are fair and reasonable to KayDav
      shareholders, in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 5 of the regulations promulgated in terms of the
      Companies Act.

      Nodus has delivered to the independent board its opinion that, as at the date of issue of its opinion, the scheme
      consideration is fair and reasonable to KayDav shareholders.

      The independent board, having considered the terms of the scheme and, inter alia, the opinion of Nodus, is of the
      view that the scheme consideration is fair and reasonable to shareholders.

      Notes:
      1.     All times given in this document are local times in South Africa and may be changed by KayDav (subject to the approval of the
             JSE and/or the TRP, if required). The dates have been determined based on certain assumptions regarding the date by which certain
             shareholder and regulatory approvals will be obtained and that no court approval or review of the scheme resolution will be
             required. Any change in the dates and times will be released on SENS and published in the press.
      2.     A form of proxy not lodged with the transfer secretaries may be handed to the chairperson of the scheme meeting at any time prior
             to the commencement of the scheme meeting or prior to voting on any resolution to be proposed at the scheme meeting.
      3.     If the scheme meeting is adjourned or postponed, a form of proxy submitted for the initial scheme meeting will remain valid in
             respect of any adjournment or postponement of the scheme meeting, unless it is withdrawn.
      4.     If the scheme meeting is adjourned or postponed then forms of proxy that have not yet been submitted should be lodged with the
             transfer secretaries by no later than two business days before the adjourned or postponed scheme meeting but may nonetheless be
             handed to the chairperson of the adjourned or postponed scheme meeting at any time prior to the commencement of the adjourned
             or postponed scheme meeting or prior to voting on any resolution to be proposed at the adjourned or postponed scheme meeting.
      5.     KayDav shareholders should note that as transactions in shares are settled in the electronic settlement system used by Strate,
             settlement of trades takes place three business days after such trades. Therefore, KayDav shareholders who acquire KayDav shares
             after close of trade on Tuesday, 12 January 2021 will not be eligible to vote at the scheme meeting.
      6.     No dematerialisation and rematerialisation of KayDav shares may take place between Wednesday, 13 January 2021 and Friday,
             15 January 2021, both days inclusive.
      7.     If the scheme is approved by such number of KayDav shareholders at the scheme meeting so that a KayDav shareholder may
             require KayDav to obtain court approval of the scheme as contemplated in section 115(3)(a) of the Companies Act, and if an
             KayDav shareholder in fact delivers such a request, the dates and times set out above will require amendment. KayDav shareholders
             will be notified separately of the applicable dates and times under this process.
      8.     If any KayDav shareholder who votes against the scheme exercises its rights in terms of section 115(3)(b) of the Companies Act
             and applies to court for a review of the scheme, the dates and times set out above will require amendment. KayDav shareholders
             will be notified separately of the applicable dates and times under this process.
      9.     No dematerialisation and rematerialisation of KayDav shares may take place after Wednesday, 17 February 2021.

4.    The independent board and KayDav Board responsibility statement

      The independent board and KayDav Board (to the extent that the information relates to KayDav) collectively and
