In addition, Eskom advises of restatements on the Interim Financial Statements relating to the
restatements disclosed in the annual financial statements at 31 March 2021. The restatements
relate to:
• change of classification of Eskom pension fund from a defined contribution to a defined benefit
  fund; and
• change in measurement of contributions toward environmental rehabilitation trust funds from
  cost to fair value.

The abovementioned restatements are detailed in note 17 of the Interim Financial Statements.

UPDATE ON UNBUNDLING OF TRANSMISSION BUSINESS

Eskom hereby notifies its debt investors that it is currently in the process of settling a legally binding
asset transfer agreement, expected (subject to receiving PFMA approval) to be signed by 31
December 2021, pursuant to which it will dispose of certain assets and liabilities comprising its
transmission division to a newly established, wholly owned subsidiary of Eskom named National
Transmission Company South Africa SOC Limited (“NTCSA”).

The effective date of the asset transfer agreement is expected to be 1 January 2022. The transfer of
the transmission division to NTCSA will be subject to certain suspensive conditions being met, which
include, but are not limited to, attaining the necessary regulatory and statutory consents, and Eskom
obtaining all applicable creditor consents.

Subject to the fulfilment of the suspensive conditions under the asset transfer agreement, the
transaction will be effected by means of a statutory merger pursuant to section 113 as read with
section 116 of the South African Companies Act No 71 of 2008 (as amended).

A presentation relating to the aforegoing is available on the Eskom website at

Eskom will communicate any updates to the market in due course.
