Notification of change in External Auditors

Blue Label Telecoms Limited

(“Blue Label” or “the company”)


NOTIFICATION OF CHANGE IN EXTERNAL AUDITORS


In terms of paragraph 3.78 of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, shareholders are advised that,
following the conclusion of a comprehensive tender process, the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee
has recommended, and the board of directors has endorsed, the appointment of SNG Grant Thornton
(SNG) as the external auditors of Blue Label, with Mr. A Philippou as the designated individual audit
partner. SNG’s appointment as external auditor will be effective immediately.

The change in external auditors is in alignment with the principles of good governance and early adoption
of mandatory audit firm rotation, whereby audit firms shall not serve as the appointed auditor of a public
interest entity for more than 10 consecutive years, with effect from 01 April 2023.


The acceleration of the mandatory audit firm rotation was prudent in order to achieve future cost savings
and efficiencies, as SNG are Cell C’s auditors, and to ensure alignment with them relating to the audit of
the recapitalisation transaction of Cell C from inception thereof.


Blue Label would like to thank PWC for the exemplary service and support provided to the company and
looks forward to working with SNG.
