      Gavin and Tyrone will remain as Senior Executives within the Group, and continue to fulfil their
      current duties. The Board wishes to thank Gavin and Tyrone for their contributions as directors and
      looks forward to their continued value add within the Group;

-     Mr David Harpur has resigned as an independent non-executive director.

      In order for the Constantia group of companies, being the Group’s insurance operations, to benefit

      David’s vast experience in the insurance industry spans more than four decades. The Board looks

      The Board thanks Barry for his commitment and service over the years and wishes him all the best in

      member and former chairperson and chief executive officer of Snowball Wealth Proprietary Limited
      (“Snowball Wealth”), a privately held investment company which was recently acquired by Conduit
      Capital.

      Leo is the executive chairperson of Sygma Investment & Consulting Proprietary Limited (“Sygma”), a
      private investment company based in Cape Town, which he founded in 2005. Sygma has holdings in
      international brand distribution, retail and niche logistics’ companies, as well as investments in
      marketable securities and treasury management. Leo, who has successfully built and managed
      businesses (Sygma built The Brazilian Sandal Company, using the Havaianas trademark, to a
      company that generates in excess of R100 million in revenue annually), has 15 years of investment
      and capital allocation experience and for the nine year period that Leo was responsible for managing
      Snowball Wealth, the net assets of that company grew by more than 30 times; and

-     William N. Thorndike Jr. (“Will”) has been appointed as an independent non-executive director.

      Will, a US citizen who is a graduate of Harvard College and the Stanford Graduate School of
      Business, and the author of ‘The Outsiders: Eight Unconventional CEOs and Their Radically Rational
      Blueprint for Success’ (which has been translated into ten languages), is the founder and managing
      director of Housatonic Partners, a leading middle market private equity firm with offices located in
      both Boston and San Francisco. He is also Senior Advisor to Brahman Capital, a public market
      investment fund based in Manhattan, with approximately $4 billion in assets under management.
      Will, who has served as a trustee of various non-profit organisations and a director of over 30
      companies, is currently a director of, inter alia, Lincoln Peak Holdings LLC and QMC International
      LLC, and the chairperson of the board of directors of NYSE-listed Consol Energy Incorporated
