NOTIFICATION OF CHANGE IN EXTERNAL AUDITOR

In terms of paragraph 3.78 of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, shareholders are
advised that, following the conclusion of a tender process, the audit committee has
recommended, and the board has endorsed, the proposed appointment of
PricewaterhouseCoopers Incorporated (“PWC”) as the external auditor of Oceana with effect
from the financial year ending 30 September 2021.

The change in external auditor was initiated by Oceana’s decision to early adopt mandatory
audit firm rotation. This appointment will be put to shareholders at the annual general
meeting of the Company scheduled for March 2021. Deloitte & Touche (“Deloitte”) will
continue to audit Oceana’s accounts in respect of the financial year ending 30 September
2020.

Deloitte has served as the Company’s external auditor since 1942. Oceana thanks Deloitte
for their contribution over the years and looks forward to working with PWC.

The appointment is effective 1 January 2021.
