  CHANGES TO THE BOARD

  Shareholders are referred to the SENS announcement published on 22 November 2024 wherein shareholders
  were informed that Ms Wendy Luhabe, would step down as Chairman of Libstar following the AGM, and that Mr JP
  Landman had been appointed as the new Chairman of the Board, effective following the AGM.

  Management and the Board sincerely thank Wendy for her dedicated and inspiring service over the past seven
  years. Her exceptional leadership and unwavering commitment have left a legacy of positive impact and progress
  on the Group. Throughout her tenure, she has championed thoughtful governance and remained focused on
  building a strong and sustainable future for the business.

  In particular, Wendy played a pivotal role in guiding the business through some of its most significant transitions,
  most notably supporting Libstar's evolution from a founder-led organisation to a new leadership team. Her ability to
  chair Board meetings with both authority and grace, while fostering open dialogue and constructive debate, has
  been truly invaluable.

  Wendy's presence, insight, and guidance will be greatly missed. We wish her every success and happiness in her
  future endeavours.

  The Board wishes to welcome the new Chairman, JP Landman. He brings a wealth of experience and a deep
  understanding of our business and industry. We look forward to working closely together as we continue to build on
  our momentum and pursue the next phase of our growth.
