APPOINTMENT OF FUTURE AUDIT FIRM
Shareholders are advised that, in accordance with the mandatory audit firm rotation rule issued
by the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors ("IRBA"), Distell’s Board has endorsed the
recommendation by its Audit Committee, following a comprehensive tender process, to appoint
Ernst & Young Inc. ("EY") as external auditors of Distell, with effect from the financial year ending
30 June 2024.
In order to obtain the views of the shareholders, Distell intends to propose an indicative non-
binding resolution at the Distell 2021 Annual General Meeting ("AGM") for the appointment of
EY, with effect from the 2024 financial year, although the official appointment will have to take
place at the Distell 2023 AGM.
The incumbent external auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. ("PWC"), will continue to act as
external auditors of Distell for the financial years ending 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2023. PWC’s
appointment will be terminated upon the conclusion of the audit of the financial year ending
30 June 2023 in accordance with the mandatory audit firm rotation rule issued by the IRBA.
Distell will release a further announcement on the Stock Exchange News Service of the JSE once
shareholder approval in respect of EY’s appointment has been obtained.
