 CHANGES TO THE BOARD

In accordance with the Listings Requirements of the Botswana Stock Exchange Limited, the Board of
Directors of the Company (“the Board”) hereby notifies its shareholders of the following:

   1. The Board has accepted the resignation of Mr. Thomas Pritchard as an independent non-executive
      director of the Company effective 1 May 2023 and as a member of the audit and risk committee,
      remuneration committee, investment committee and the social, ethics and human resources
      committee of the Company. The Board wishes to thank Mr. Pritchard for his services and expresses
      its appreciation for his valuable contribution to the Company since his appointment in September
      2019.

   2. Mr. Ranjith Priyalal De Silva (“Priyalal”) has been appointed in terms of the Company’s Constitution,
      as an independent non-executive director of Choppies and Chairman of the Audit and Risk Committee
      (“ARC”), with effect from 1 May 2023. Priyalal’s appointment is subject to confirmation by the
      shareholders of the Company at its next annual general meeting.

      Priyalal, a long serving Chartered Accountant in Botswana, retired as an Audit Partner of
      PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Botswana on 30 June 2016 after serving PwC for 36 years (19 years
      as a partner). He also held the position of Chief Operating Officer of PwC Botswana from 1 July 2007
      until his retirement on 30 June 2016. At PwC Botswana, he served a large portfolio of audit/tax clients.
      He operated as the “Trusted Business Advisor” to a number of large privately owned corporates in
      Botswana. His expertise is primarily in auditing, accounting, tax planning, financial investigations,
      financial management and governance.

      The Board would like to take this opportunity to extend a warm welcome to Priyalal. We believe his
      appointment will strengthen the Board.

The Company’s primary listing is on the Botswana Stock Exchange and its secondary listing is on the
Johannesburg Stock Exchange.
