FULFILLMENT OF CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THE SALE OF BRAIT IV’S INVESTMENT IN CONSOL

Brait shareholders are referred to the announcement published on the website of the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange ("LuxSE") and released on the Stock Exchange News Service of the JSE Limited ("JSE") on 26
November 2021, announcing that the shareholders of Consol Holdings Proprietary Limited ("Consol"), the
leading producer of glass packaging in Africa, had entered into a sale agreement with the Ardagh Group S.A.
(“Ardagh”), a leading global supplier of glass and metal packaging.

All conditions and regulatory approvals have now been fulfilled for Ardagh’s acquisition of 100% of the ordinary
shares of Consol for an equity value of R10.1 billion, which includes Consol’s operations in South Africa, Nigeria,
Kenya and Ethiopia (the "Transaction").

Brait, as a result of its effective look-through interest in Brait IV’s investment in Consol, will use the R0.4 billion
of proceeds realised from the Transaction as a partial repayment of Brait’s bank debt revolving credit facility
(the "BML RCF"). Post the Transaction, the BML net debt position will be R2.0 billion.
