Proposed change of name and distribution of circular to shareholders

Tsogo Sun Gaming Limited
Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa
(Registration number 1989/002108/06)
Share Code: TSG
JSE Alpha Code: TSGI
ISIN: ZAE000273116
(“Tsogo Sun” or “the Company”)

PROPOSED CHANGE OF NAME AND DISTRIBUTION OF CIRCULAR TO SHAREHOLDERS

1. Introduction

    Words and expressions defined in this announcement shall, when used below, bear the same meanings
    ascribed to them in the Circular distributed to Shareholders on Wednesday, 3 May 2023.

    Shareholders and Noteholders are advised that, subject to receipt of the requisite Shareholder approval,
    the Board proposes to change the Company’s name from “Tsogo Sun Gaming Limited” to “Tsogo Sun
    Limited” (“Change of Name”).

2. Rationale for the Change of Name

    In 2019, the Company changed its name from “Tsogo Sun Holdings Limited” to “Tsogo Sun Gaming
    Limited”. However, with diversified holdings in casinos, hotels, conferencing facilities, a resort, a theme
    park, betting and a variety of other entertainment offerings throughout South Africa, and given that the
    Group uses the registered trademark “Tsogo Sun” in its marketing material and the domain
    “tsogosun.com” as its main website, the Board deems that the name “Tsogo Sun Limited” is a more
    appropriate name for the Company, and has resolved to recommend the Change of Name to
    Shareholders for their approval.

3. Details of the Change of Name

    The name “Tsogo Sun Limited” has been reserved with CIPC and the JSE has, subject to the requisite
    Shareholder approval being obtained, approved the Change of Name.

    The share code, short name and ISIN of the Company will remain unchanged.

    The Company will retain its history and will remain listed in the Travel and Leisure sector of the Main
    Board of the securities exchange operated by the JSE.

4. Distribution of Circular

    Shareholders are hereby advised that a Circular has been distributed to Shareholders on Wednesday, 3
    May 2023 and contains a notice convening a General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on Wednesday,
    31 May 2023 in the main boardroom at the offices of Hosken Consolidated Investments Limited, at Suite
    801, 76 Regent Road, Sea Point, Cape Town 8005, at 12h00 (South African Standard Time (“SAST”)),
    for the purpose of considering , and if deemed fit, passing with or without modification, the resolutions
    required to approve the proposed Change of Name.

    The Circular is available on Tsogo Sun’s website at: www.tsogosun.com/investors/circulars/. Copies
    may be obtained by Shareholders at the Company’s registered office, being at Palazzo Towers East,

         Dematerialising their Shares and replacing them with electronic records of ownership. In this regard, Shareholders may contact
