Further shareholder engagement
As the Group did not achieve the required 75% majority in respect of the advisory remuneration resolutions 1 and 2, the Board will seek to engage
further with shareholders on its approach to, and implementation of, remuneration policy. It is therefore requested that shareholders submit all
questions and concerns to our company secretary, Vaughan Pierce, at CompanySecretary@pnp.co.za by Friday, 6 September 2024.
Thereafter, collective or individual shareholder engagements will be scheduled with our Board Chair and Remuneration Committee Chair, as
requested by shareholders, to be completed by the end of September 2024.
The Board remains committed to resolving all legitimate shareholder concerns, and to strengthening its remuneration policies and disclosures.
