Acceptance of long term incentives by Directors and the Company Secretary

In compliance with the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, shareholders are advised of the following off-market
acceptances of ordinary shares and options in respect of ordinary shares on 1 December 2017 by Directors and the
Company Secretary of the Company.

The routine long-term incentive schemes (LTI’s), which have been approved by shareholders, were designed to be
rolling in nature, such that shares vesting on an annual basis would be replaced by additional awards. The dealings
disclosed herein represent the ‘top up award’ for those LTI’s vesting in November 2017.
