NO CHANGE STATEMENT

The integrated annual report and audited consolidated financial statements contain no changes
from the preliminary audited summarised consolidated results published on the Stock Exchange
News Service of the JSE on 19 November 2019. The consolidated financial statements were audited
by the group’s auditor, Deloitte & Touche. We confirm that there have been no changes to the
auditor’s report which was referenced in the preliminary audited summarised consolidated results
and made available to shareholders on the group’s website and at RFG’s registered office on the
same date as the release thereof. The auditors’ unqualified report is incorporated in the
consolidated financial statements and remains available for inspection at RFG’s registered office.

Pniel Road, Groot Drakenstein, Western Cape on Thursday, 20 February 2020, at 09:00, to transact
the business as stated in the notice of AGM which is incorporated in the integrated annual report.

The record date for purposes of determining which shareholders are entitled to receive the notice of

Change of the company’s name
