TRADING STATEMENT IN RESPECT OF YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

Ethos Capital is an investment holding company, registered and incorporated in Mauritius. It is listed on the
Johannesburg Stock Exchange and offers shareholders potential long-term capital appreciation by making
commitments and investments into Funds or Co-investments that are actively managed by Ethos Private
Equity (Pty) Limited (“Ethos”), providing the Company with exposure to a diversified portfolio of unlisted
private equity type investments (“Portfolio Companies”).

Shareholders are advised that Ethos Capital’s Net Asset Value per share (“NAVPS”) as at 30 June 2022 is
estimated to be between R8.30 and R8.55. This range represents an increase of between 24% and 28%
compared to the NAVPS at the last corresponding reporting period at 30 June 2021 of R6.67.

The Brait PLC (“Brait”) investment is included in the above 30 June 2022 NAVPS range at its 30 June 2022
share price of R4.05. Based on Brait’s last reported NAVPS of R8.37 (at 31 March 2022), the Ethos Capital 30
June 2022 NAVPS is estimated to be between R10.47 and R10.72, an increase of between 14% and 17%
compared to the last reported equivalent NAVPS as at 30 June 2021 of R9.19.

The increase over the period is attributable to higher valuations broadly across the unlisted portfolio and
strong growth in the listed portfolio, driven by significant share price increases. These increased valuations
resulted from the Portfolio Companies’ revised strategies, improved operating leverage and cost-saving
initiatives that were forged over the past two years that have delivered recoveries in earnings in a large
majority of these businesses.

Ethos Capital’s annual results for the year ended 30 June 2022, will be released on the Stock Exchange
News Service on Wednesday, 28 September 2022.
