Thanks to the support of existing and new investors, Orion has received firm commitments for the first two tranches

opportunity to increase their shareholding in Orion. The full terms and conditions of the SPP offer were included in the
SPP booklet announced to the ASX and JSE when the SPP offer opened on 28 June 2022.

Orion is offering its shareholders with a registered address in Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, the European Union

Orion wishes to advise that the closing date of the offer under the SPP has been extended by one week to 12 August
