Dealing in securities by the company, directors and acceptance of further forfeitable shares

RMB HOLDINGS LIMITED

(“RMH” or “the Company”)

DEALING IN SECURITIES BY THE COMPANY, DIRECTORS AND ACCEPTANCE OF
FURTHER FORFEITABLE SHARES

Background

Shareholders are referred to the announcement released on the Stock Exchange News Service of
the JSE (“SENS”) on 9 September 2022 in which they were advised that the board of directors of
RMH had resolved to declare a special dividend of 141.67283 cents per share (“September 2022
special dividend”).

The RMH forfeitable share plan (“RMH FSP”) allows for the value lost that participants experienced
in their RMH share appreciation right scheme (“RMH SARs”), due to the September 2022 special
dividend, to be replaced by an award of forfeitable shares (“the replacement award”). The same
principles that were followed for the April 2021 special dividend and announced on SENS on 15
March 2022 were used in calculating the replacement award for staff remaining in the employment
of RMH. For the same reasons:
     • Special dividend size relative to the strike price; and
     • The corresponding RMH SARs units required would result in the number of RMH SARs
       units relative to the number of issued ordinary shares of the Company increasing to an
       unacceptable level.

Consequently, taking cognisance of the above no adjustment is being made to the RMH SARs
award. The RMH SARs award will remain in place and the replacement award of forfeitable shares
operates alongside the RMH SARs award.

As per the previous replacement award, this award will have the same performance conditions
(including possible outperformance) attached to it and will follow the vesting profile of the previous
replacement award, with a portion capable of vesting earlier, at the date of monetisation. Any
dividends or other distributions attached to the forfeitable shares will be subject to the same
performance and vesting conditions.

The RMH FSP awards will be settled in RMH ordinary shares. However, no additional ordinary
shares will be issued, neither will treasury shares be used, and shareholders will therefore not be
diluted. The Company will purchase ordinary shares in the market and will place those shares in
restricted accounts for the benefit of participants until such time that vesting occurs and restrictions
are lifted (to the extent that performance conditions are met).

In compliance with the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, and as a result of the settlement
mechanics of the RMH FSP, the following disclosures are made.

*In line with Mr Bosman’s early termination of employment with Rand Merchant Investment
Holdings Limited (“RMI”), Mr Bosman’s arrangement with RMH was terminated on 30 November
2022. The RMH remuneration committee applied the same principles as applied by the RMI
remuneration committee within the specific guidance of RMH’s applicable share plan rules. The
rules permitted an adjustment for performance and pro-rata early settlement of awards. The awards
vested was adjusted not on a time apportionment basis but instead on a value pro-rata basis for net
asset value monetised whilst in office.

**20-day VWAP following the last date to trade to qualify for the September 2022 special dividend,
being 4 October 2022.
