Prior to the AGM, the Company embarked on an extensive governance roadshow engaging with institutional
shareholders representing 70.2 per cent of its issued share capital. The governance roadshow, inter alia, dealt with
shareholder feedback on both the Company’s remuneration policy and its implementation report.
Despite these engagements, ordinary resolution number 5.2 (non-binding advisory vote on the remuneration
implementation report) has unfortunately received a vote against by more than 25% of the Company’s shareholders
present in person or represented by proxy.
The Board therefore again invites shareholders that have voted against and any other shareholders wishing to
engage on the remuneration implementation report, to reach out to the Company by:
1. Forwarding concerns or questions on the remuneration implementation report in writing and/or sending a request
to engage with the Company on the remuneration implementation report to the Executive: Governance, Legal
and Compliance at wesselsc@aforbes.com by no later than 15 September 2021.
2. Depending on the feedback received and specifically requests to engage, the Company will establish whether a
further teleconference with concerned shareholders is required and, if so, will communicate the details thereof in
an announcement.
The special resolutions will, where necessary, be lodged for registration with the Companies and Intellectual Property
Commission in due course.
