CONFIRMATION OF ACHIEVEMENT OF SUSTAINABILITY PERFORMANCE TARGET 1A IN RESPECT OF
AGRARIUS AGRIB1 SUKUK


Sukuk holders are referred to the Issuer's Amended Applicable Pricing Supplement dated 31 January 2024 for
AGRIB1 ("APS") and the Sustainability-Linked Sukuk Framework 1 dated 26 January 2024 ("Framework 1")
(available on the Issuer's website at: https://www.27four.com/agrarius/investorcentre/) and the Sustainability
Performance Targets ("SPT") and Performance Targets mentioned therein.

As per the SPT conditions outlined in Framework 1, the first Target Date where performance would be assessed
against the SPTs is required within 12 months post the deployment of the capital raised through the issuance of
the AGRB1 Sukuk ("Performance Target 1A").

In terms of Performance Target 1A, 30% of the portfolio (Rand value) was required to be deployed in qualifying
underlying transactions in the agriculture sector value chain and certified with an independent sustainability
advisor.

As at 28 February 2025, Agrarius has exceeded Performance Target 1A, with 88% of the portfolio having been
deployed in qualifying transactions, as detailed below:
