Passing of the Chairman of the Board


It is with utmost sadness that the Board of Novus Holdings wishes to inform shareholders that Mr
Lambert Retief, Chairman and non-executive director, passed away late on Wednesday evening, 25
January 2017.

Mr Retief was appointed as Chairman in 2005 following his tenure as the first CEO of the Group, then
known as the Paarl Media Group. He also continued as the Chairman of the Company post its listing on
the Johannesburg Stock Exchange in 2015. Mr Retief was involved in the printing industry since 1978
with his late father being one of the founding directors of the printing operation.

As a highly astute businessman, Mr Retief had a distinguished career, serving on the Boards of a number
of entities namely Naspers, Media24, Quantum Food Holdings, Zeder Investments, Pioneer Food Group
and Huguenot Investments, over the years.

The Board and management of Novus Holdings wish to extend their heartfelt condolences to the family
of Mr Retief and pay tribute to him for his inspirational leadership, integrity and his invaluable
contribution to the company and society. He will be sadly missed by all.

As lead independent non-executive director, Mr Fred Robertson assumed the role of interim Chairman
following Mr Retief’s medical leave of absence since July 2016. Mr Robertson will continue to fulfil this
role until such time as a permanent appointment has been made.
