In terms of paragraph 3.59 (b) of the Listing Requirements of the JSE Limited, Sappi
shareholders are advised of the following changes to the Board of directors of Sappi (the
“Board”) with effect from 28 February 2017.

Mrs Bridgette Radebe will retire as independent non-executive director after serving for 12

Social, Ethics, Transformation and Sustainability Committee in February 2012.

Mr Frits Beurskens will retire as independent non-executive director after serving for 5 years.

The Board extends its gratitude to Mrs Radebe and Mr Beurskens for their contribution and
support to the company.

Sir Nigel Rudd, Sappi’s chairman, commented : “Bridgette Radebe has been a valued
colleague for many years. I would like to thank her for the significant contribution which she
has made to Sappi since she was appointed to the Board more than 12 years ago. She
added a fresh perspective to board discussions and her knowledge and experience
supported the growth of Sappi during a crucial period of the company’s history.” He
continued : “I also wish to thank Mr Beurskens for his valuable contribution as the Chair of
the Sappi Europe Audit Committee and member of the group Audit Committee, as well as for
the role he played on the Board during this important phase of the company’s development”.
