date of this announcement, the board of directors of ZCI cannot reliably estimate the extent of
any potential proceeds arising as a result of the potential liquidation proceedings.

The Company will provide updates to stakeholders as and when further information becomes
available. Accordingly, shareholders are advised to exercise caution when dealing in ZCI
shares until such date as further information in relation to the above matter, including the full
financial impact thereof, has been made available.

As a result of the events explained above, the board of directors of ZCI are still currently not
able to provide a date on which the suspension of trading, in securities of ZCI, is expected to
be lifted, as is required in terms of Section 1.10(c) of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements.
