CHANGE IN AUDITOR DUE TO MERGER OF AUDIT FIRMS 

Shareholders are advised in terms of paragraph 3.78 of the JSE Listings Requirements that the Company 
has been informed that there has been a change of network firm from Grant Thornton Cape Inc. to BDO. 
The designated audit partner has remained unchanged.

The change in audit firm, which is effective 1 March 2018, was initiated by the audit firm following the 
merger of BDO South Africa and Grant Thornton Cape Town.

The PBT Group will in due course follow the process detailed in paragraph 3.84(g)(iii) of the JSE Listings 
Requirements relating to BDO. This process will be completed before the audit firm signs its next audit 
report. It is important to note, that whilst the designated audit partner has remain unchanged, the Audit 
and Risk Committee of the PBT Group must request and consider the separate information about the receiving 
audit firm, as the PBT Group are deemed to be appointing BDO for the first time.
