Changes to the board of directors
Shareholders are referred to the announcement regarding the Unaudited
interim financial results for the six months ended 30 September
2018, which was released on SENS on Friday, 23 November 2018 and
advised that Michael Judin retired from the board of directors
(“Board”) and the Audit, Governance and Risk Committee at the annual
general meeting.

Although the Board is committed to both transformation at Board
level and to filling the vacancy on the Board and the Audit,
Governance and Risk Committee within the required time period, in
order to comply with the Companies Act, the JSE Listings Requirements
and the King Code, the Company’s ability to recruit and appoint
suitably skilled and experienced candidates to the Board is severely
impacted by not being able to offer remuneration to potential
suitable candidates, as a result of the special resolutions to
confirm the non-executive directors’ remuneration for both 2018 and
2019, not being passed at the annual general meeting.                   
Shareholders will be advised on progress in this regard in due
course.

Engagement with Shareholders
Shareholders are advised that due to the non-binding advisory vote
relating to the Group’s remuneration policy (ordinary resolution
number 5) and the non-binding advisory vote relating to the group
implementation of remuneration policy report (ordinary resolution
number 6) being voted against by more than 25% of shareholders
present in person or represented by proxy at the annual general
meeting, the Company intends, in terms of Listings Requirement
3.84(k), to further engage directly with the two dissenting
shareholders within the next 45 business days. The Company will, in
the best interests of all stakeholders, seek to find common ground
in relation to the issue of the payment of non-executive director
remuneration and the impact this has on effective and appropriate
Board composition.
