FURTHER SHAREHOLDER UPDATE AND CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT

Shareholders are referred to the Shareholder Update announcement released by Brait on SENS

board of Brait (the “Board”) wishes to confirm that it, together with Brait South Africa Proprietary
Limited and Brait Advisory Services UK Limited (Brait’s Corporate Advisors), has made significant
progress to materially reduce the current leverage and extend the remaining debt maturities on
Brait’s balance sheet. In addition, the Board is in advanced negotiations to significantly reduce the
net operating costs of Brait and has resolved to adopt a new strategy that will focus on maximising
value through the realisation of assets in the portfolio over the next five years and returning capital
to shareholders.

A detailed announcement relating to the above will be released by 27 November 2019 with Brait’s
interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2019. Shareholders are advised that the
detailed announcement may have a material effect on the price of Brait’s securities and that
shareholders should exercise caution when dealing in their Brait securities until such detailed
announcement is made.

The Board is being advised by Rand Merchant Bank, a division of FirstRand Bank Limited.

The information contained within this announcement is inside information as stipulated under the
Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 and the South African Financial Markets Act, 2012.
Upon the publication of this announcement this inside information is now considered to be in the
