BROAD-BASED BLACK ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT ACT: ANNUAL COMPLIANCE REPORT

In accordance with the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, notice is hereby given that the Company's
annual broad-based black economic empowerment compliance report ("compliance report") in terms
of section 13G (2) of the South African Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act, No. 53 of
2003, as amended (the "B-BBEE Act"), has been submitted to the Broad-Based Black Economic
Empowerment Commission (the "B-BBEE Commission"). The compliance report is available on
Mediclinic's website at https://www.mediclinic.com/en/sustainable-development.html.

The compliance report relates to the Group's South African operations and presents an assessment of
the broad-based black economic empowerment status of Mediclinic International (RF) (Pty) Ltd, a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and its subsidiaries which include Mediclinic Southern Africa
(Pty) Ltd.

About the B-BBEE Act

The B-BBEE Act was enacted to establish a legislative framework for the promotion of broad-based
black economic empowerment in South Africa. It covers aspects such as ownership, management
control, skills development, enterprise and supplier development and socio-economic development.
Although compliance with the B-BBEE Act and the Codes of Good Practice issued in terms thereof is
voluntary, an obligation was introduced by way of an amendment to the B-BBEE Act in 2013, which
became effective in June 2016, requiring a public company, listed on the Johannesburg Stock
Exchange ("JSE"), to submit its annual compliance report to the B-BBEE Commission, to load its
compliance report on its website and to publish a SENS announcement confirming the aforementioned
steps taken.
