ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT : MODIFICATION TO SPECIAL
RESOLUTION NUMBER 1

Shareholders are referred to the notice that has been distributed to shareholders of the 69th annual
general meeting of shareholders of Tiger Brands dated 13 December 2013 (the “Notice”), which
meeting is to be held on Tuesday, 11 February 2014, at 14:00, at 3010 William Nicol Drive,
Bryanston, 2021. Reference in particular is made to the proposed special resolution number 1 of
the Notice relating to the authority to be granted to the directors under section 44 of the Companies
Act (2008) to grant financial assistance for the purpose of, or in connection with, the subscription
for or purchase of shares in the Company or a related or inter-related company (the “Resolution”).

Certain institutional shareholders have indicated that they feel the authority sought by the
Resolution should not be unlimited and that there should be a maximum aggregate value of any
such financial assistance in any one year. Although the Company intended the authority to be
broad taking into account, inter alia, the inherent solvency and liquidity protection contained in the
Companies Act and other shareholder protections contained in the JSE Listings Requirements, it
does acknowledge the concern raised by these shareholders.

Accordingly, the Company will propose at the meeting of shareholders on 11 February 2014, a
modification to special resolution number 1 by the inclusion of the following sentence at the end of
the Resolution: “The authority granted under this special resolution number 1 is limited to financial
assistance to a maximum per transaction of R500 million and an aggregate maximum value of
R2.5 billion (being approximately 5% of the market capitalisation of the Company as at 28 January
2014) for any such transactions in any one year during which this authority is granted."

Any existing proxy forms lodged by shareholders for the general meeting of shareholders of Tiger
Brands on Tuesday, 11 February 2014 remain valid, unless revised proxy forms are lodged (which
shareholders are entitled to do) in accordance with the procedures set out in the Notice.

The record date for the meeting remains unchanged.
