STATUS REPORT FOR COMAIR LIMITED (IN BUSINESS RESCUE)

1     In accordance with section 132(3)(a) and section 132(3)(b) of the Companies Act 71 of
      2008, as amended ("Act") when the business rescue proceedings of a company have
      not concluded within 3 months of the date on which they started, a business rescue
      practitioner is required to –

1.1        prepare a report on the progress of the business rescue, and update it at the end
           of each subsequent month until the end of the business rescue proceedings; and

1.2        deliver the report and each update to each affected person and to the Companies
           and Intellectual Property Commission ("CIPC").

2     This requirement is applicable to Comair Limited (In Business Rescue) ("Comair").

3     Accordingly, we hereby provide you with the second report on the status of Comair's
      business rescue proceedings.

4     Please note that where capitalized words are used that are not defined herein, these
      words shall bear the meaning as defined in Comair's Adopted Business Rescue Plan.

5     The Business Rescue Plan was Adopted on 18 September 2020, and the Proposed
      Investment (as described in clause 7.2A of Comair's Adopted Business Rescue Plan) is
      highly dependent on the Suspensive Conditions contained at paragraph 8.1.1 of the
      Business Rescue Plan being fulfilled. In this regard, the following is noteworthy:

5.1        A Collective Agreement was agreed with the Trade Unions representing 50% +1
           employees;

5.2        The employees have, in terms of the Collective Agreement, waived any
           remuneration, reimbursement for expenses or other amount of money relating to
           my employment with the Company, from the Commencement Date (being 5 May
           2020) until the Operation Start Date (expected date being approximately 1
           December 2020), save, however, for any premiums payable for medical-aid cover
           over the period August to November 2020; amounts earned or may be earned by
           Employees for rendering services to Comair from the Commencement Date to the
           Operation Start Date by agreement with the BRPs; and amounts that are due or
           may become due under Voluntary Severance Packages or Voluntary Early
           Retirement agreements that were/are offered to Employees with the approval of the
           BRPs, and accepted by an Employee in the period from the Commencement Date
           to the Operation Start Date;

5.3        The Investors have made adequate alternative financing arrangements for Comair
           of new net debt funding sufficient to implement their investment and the Investors
           have therefore waived the suspensive condition for new net debt funding in the sum
           of R600 million;

5.4        The Proposed Investment has been approved by the Competition authorities;

5.5        The JSE and the Takeover Regulation Panel have approved the Circular to
           Shareholders, and which Circular will be delivered to Shareholders and published
           via SENS

6     Although the Proposed Investment remains on track, Affected Persons must note that
      should these Suspensive Conditions not be fulfilled or waived, as the case may be, then
      the business of Comair will enter a structured wind-down scenario (as described in
      clause 7.2B of Comair's Adopted Business Rescue Plan).
