DEALINGS IN SECURITIES BY ASSOCIATES OF DIRECTORS

Titan Premier Investments (Pty) Ltd and its subsidiaries ("Titan") entered into a structured transaction with the
Standard Bank of South Africa Limited ("Standard Bank"), in anticipation of Brait's renounceable rights offer (the
"Rights Offer"). Furthermore, Titan has acquired Brait ordinary shares in terms of the Rights Offer.

Sale of Pre-Rights Offer Shares and Total Return Swap
Titan has underwritten the Rights Offer. Depending on the outcome of the Rights Offer, Titan's interest in Brait could
have exceeded 50%. This would have required various regulatory approvals which was clearly not achievable within
the agreed and announced timelines of the Rights Offer. To ensure that the Rights Offer process was appropriately
managed, and to have sufficient capacity to execute the Rights Offer within the regulatory framework applicable to
Brait and Titan, Standard Bank has acquired Titan's pre-existing Brait shareholding of 454,196,112 Brait ordinary
shares ("Pre-Rights Offer Shares") and entered into a total return swap agreement with Titan on the 6th of August
2024 in respect of the same number of shares. As a result, Titan retains full economic participation in the Pre-Rights
Offer Shares, but Standard Bank is the registered and beneficial owner of the shares and hence is entitled to vote the
relevant shares.

Based on the outcome of the Rights Offer this arrangement will be unwound at the appropriate time following the
delivery of the Rights Offer shares on the 12th of August 2024. At such time, Titan will re-acquire the Pre-Rights Offer
Shares and the total return swap for such shares will be terminated. A further announcement will be made, as
required, in this regard.

Subscription for Brait Shares
Pursuant to the Rights Offer, Titan has subscribed for 977,471,259 Brait ordinary shares.

Titan's cumulative interest in Brait

As of the conclusion of the total return swap and the Rights Offer, Titan has an economic interest in Brait equivalent to
1,443,412,579 shares representing 37.4% of the issued shares in Brait.

Regulatory Notices

informed that as a result of the Pre-Rights Offer Shares acquisitions detailed above, Standard Bank's beneficial
shareholding in Brait has increased to 11.89%.

In accordance with rule 1001 of the Luxembourg Rules and Regulations, shareholders of the Company are hereby
