FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

RECOMMENDED CASH ACQUISITION

of

Mediclinic International plc

by

Manta Bidco Limited

(a newly formed company owned by joint offerors: (i) Remgro Limited (“Remgro”) (through
the Relevant Remgro Subsidiaries); and (ii) SAS Shipping Agencies Services S.à r.l. (“SAS”),
a wholly owned subsidiary of MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company SA (“MSC”))

to be effected by means of a Scheme of Arrangement under
Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006 (“Scheme”)

SATISFACTION OF REGULATORY CONDITIONS AND SCHEME TIMETABLE

On 4 August 2022, the boards of Mediclinic, Manta Bidco Limited (“Bidco”) (a newly formed company
owned by joint offerors: (i) Remgro Limited (“Remgro”) (through certain subsidiaries); and (ii) SAS
Shipping Agencies Services S.a.r.l. (“SAS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of MSC Mediterranean
Shipping Company SA), Remgro and SAS announced that they had reached agreement on the terms
of a recommended cash offer by Bidco for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Mediclinic
not already owned indirectly by Remgro (the “Acquisition”). The circular in relation to the Scheme
(the "Scheme Document") was published and posted to Mediclinic Shareholders on 30 August 2022.

Capitalised terms used but not defined in this announcement (the “Announcement”) have the
meanings given to them in the Scheme Document. All references in this Announcement to times are
to London time unless otherwise stated.

Satisfaction of regulatory conditions

On 27 March 2023, Mediclinic announced that all merger control clearances in relation to the
Acquisition had been received and that Bidco was awaiting approval of the Acquisition by the South
African Reserve Bank’s (the “SARB”) Financial Surveillance Department. Mediclinic and Bidco are
pleased to confirm that the SARB’s approval has now been received and accordingly all of the
Conditions relating to merger control and other regulatory approvals have now been satisfied.
Next steps and timetable

The Scheme remains subject to certain other conditions, including sanction by the UK Court at the
Scheme Court Hearing, which is expected to take place on 24 May 2023, and the delivery of a copy
of the Court Order to the Registrar of Companies. Subject to the Scheme receiving the sanction of the
Court, the delivery of a copy of the Court Order to the Registrar of Companies and the satisfaction (or,
where applicable, the waiver) of the other Conditions set out in Part III of the Scheme Document, the
Scheme is expected to become effective on 25 May 2023 (the “Effective Date”).

The current expected timetable of principal events for the implementation of the Scheme is set out
below but is subject to change. Mediclinic notes that it is required by the JSE to issue the
announcement relating to the sanction of the Scheme by the Court at the Scheme Court Hearing
before 3.00 p.m. SAST (2.00 p.m. London time) on 24 May 2023 in order for the Effective Date to be
25 May 2023. If the announcement is not issued by this time, the JSE requires the Effective Date to
be on 26 May 2023, being one business day later than specified in the expected timetable of principal
events. This would result in corresponding changes to the date of each principal event on or after the
date of the Scheme Court Hearing (other than the date of the Scheme Court Hearing and the date of
the Finalisation Announcement and Currency Exchange Announcement) compared to the indicative
dates set out below.

If any of the key dates and/or times set out in the timetable do change, Mediclinic and Bidco will give
notice of the revised dates and/or times by issuing an announcement through a Regulatory Information
Service and corresponding announcement on SENS, and by making such announcement available
on     Mediclinic’s   website    at    https://investor.mediclinic.com/regulatory-news/offer-mediclinic-
international-plc.

 Notes:

  (1)       The dates and times given are indicative only and are based on current expectations and are subject to
            change (including as a result of changes to the regulatory timetable).

            References to times are to London, United Kingdom time unless otherwise stated. If any of the times and/or
            dates above change, the revised times and/or dates will be notified to Mediclinic Shareholders by
            announcement through a Regulatory Information Service and corresponding publication on SENS.

  (2)       This is the latest date by which the Scheme may become Effective. However, the Longstop Date may be
            extended to such later date as may be agreed by Mediclinic and Bidco (with the Panel’s consent and as the
            Court may approve (if such consent and/or approval is required)) or if the Panel requires an extension to
            the Longstop Date pending final determination of an issue under section 3(g) of Appendix 7 of the Takeover
            Code.

  (3)       It is intended that upon the Scheme becoming Effective, subject to the approval of the Executive Committee
            of the JSE, the JSE will initiate the termination of the secondary listing of Mediclinic Shares on the Main
            Board of the JSE, in terms of paragraphs 1.12 and 1.13 of the JSE Listings Requirements, to take effect
            following the Effective Date, on the basis that Mediclinic will no longer comply with the public spread
            provisions pursuant to paragraph 4.28(e) of the JSE Listings Requirements. The delisting of Mediclinic
            Shares on the NSX will occur simultaneously with the termination of the listing and trading of such shares
            from the JSE.

Overseas Shareholders

This Announcement has been prepared for the purposes of complying with English law, the Takeover
Code, the Market Abuse Regulation, the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, the Listing
Rules, the Financial Markets Act and the Corporate Actions timelines as prescribed in terms of the
JSE Listings Requirements, and the information disclosed may not be the same as that which would
have been disclosed if this Announcement had been prepared in accordance with the laws of
jurisdictions outside England or South Africa.

The availability of the Acquisition to Mediclinic Shareholders who are not resident in and citizens of
the United Kingdom, South Africa or Namibia may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions
in which they are located or of which they are citizens. Persons who are not resident in the United
Kingdom, South Africa or Namibia should inform themselves of, and observe, any applicable legal or
regulatory requirements of their jurisdictions. Any failure to comply with the applicable restrictions may
constitute a violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, the companies and persons involved in the Acquisition disclaim any responsibility or
liability for the violation of such restrictions by any person.

Unless otherwise determined by Bidco or required by the Takeover Code, and permitted by applicable
law and regulation, the Acquisition will not be made available, directly or indirectly, in, into or from a
Restricted Jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws in that jurisdiction. Copies of this
Announcement and any formal documentation relating to the Acquisition are not being, and must not


                                                                                                        7
be, directly or indirectly, mailed or otherwise forwarded, distributed or sent in or into or from any
Restricted Jurisdiction and persons receiving such documents (including custodians, nominees and
trustees) must not mail or otherwise forward, distribute or send it in or into or from any Restricted
Jurisdiction. If the Acquisition is implemented (with the consent of the Panel and subject to and in
accordance with the terms of the Co-operation Agreement) by way of a Takeover Offer (unless
otherwise permitted by applicable law and regulation), the Takeover Offer may not be made directly
or indirectly, in or into, or by the use of mails or any means or instrumentality (including, but not limited
to, facsimile, e-mail or other electronic transmission, telex or telephone) of interstate or foreign
commerce of, or of any facility of a national, state or other securities exchange of any Restricted
Jurisdiction and the Takeover Offer may not be capable of acceptance by any such use, means,
instrumentality or facilities.

The Acquisition shall be subject to, among other things, the applicable requirements of the Takeover
Code, the Panel, the London Stock Exchange, the FCA, the JSE and the NSX.

The information contained in this Announcement constitutes factual information as contemplated in
section 1(3)(a) of the FAIS Act and should not be construed as express or implied advice, a
recommendation, guide or proposal that any particular transaction in respect of the Acquisition is
appropriate to the particular investment objectives, financial situations or needs of a shareholder or
offeree, and nothing in this Announcement should be construed as constituting the canvassing for, or
marketing or advertising of, financial services in South Africa. Neither Mediclinic nor Bidco are financial
services providers licensed as such under the FAIS Act.

Nothing in this Announcement should be viewed, or construed, as “advice”, as that term is used in the
Financial Markets Act.

Additional information for US investors

The Acquisition relates to shares in a UK company and is proposed to be effected by means of a
scheme of arrangement under English law. US Mediclinic Shareholders should note that the Scheme
relates to the shares of a UK company and will be governed by English law. Neither the proxy
solicitation rules nor the tender offer rules under the US Exchange Act will apply to the Acquisition or
the Scheme. Moreover, the Acquisition and the Scheme are subject to the disclosure requirements
and practices applicable in England to schemes of arrangement, which differ from the disclosure
requirements of the proxy solicitation rules and tender offer rules under the US Exchange Act.

However, if, in the future, Bidco were to elect (with the consent of the Panel and subject to and in
accordance with the terms of the Co-operation Agreement) to implement the Acquisition by means of
a Takeover Offer and determines to extend such Takeover Offer into the US, such Takeover Offer
would be made in compliance with all applicable US laws and regulations, including Section 14(e) of
the US Exchange Act and Regulation 14E thereunder. Such a Takeover Offer would be made in the
US by Bidco and no one else.

Neither the SEC nor any securities commission of any state of the US nor any other US regulatory
authority has approved the Acquisition, passed upon the fairness of the Acquisition or passed upon
the adequacy or accuracy of this Announcement. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal
offence in the US.

In accordance with the Takeover Code and normal UK practice, and pursuant to Rule 14e-5(b) of the
US Exchange Act (if applicable), (a) Bidco or its nominees, or its brokers (acting as agents), may from
time to time make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, shares or other securities of
Mediclinic outside of the US, other than pursuant to the Acquisition, until the date on which the
Acquisition and/or Scheme becomes Effective, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn; and (b) Morgan
Stanley, UBS and Standard Bank and their affiliates will continue to act as exempt principal traders in

                                                                                                          8
Mediclinic securities under the Takeover Code. If purchases or arrangements to purchase were to be
made as contemplated by clause (a) of this paragraph, they would occur either in the open market at
prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices, and comply with applicable law,
including the US Exchange Act. Any information about such purchases or arrangements to purchase
would be disclosed as required in the UK, would be reported to a Regulatory Information Service and
would be made available on the London Stock Exchange website at www.londonstockexchange.com.
Purchases contemplated by clause (b) of this paragraph that are required to be made public in the
United Kingdom pursuant to the Takeover Code would be reported to a Regulatory Information Service
and would be made available on the London Stock Exchange website at
www.londonstockexchange.com.

The receipt of the cash Consideration by a US Mediclinic Shareholder for the transfer of its Mediclinic
Shares pursuant to the Acquisition will likely be a taxable transaction for US federal income tax
purposes and may also be a taxable transaction under applicable state and local tax laws in the US,
as well as foreign and other tax laws. Each US Mediclinic Shareholder is urged to consult their
independent professional tax adviser immediately regarding the tax consequences of the Acquisition
applicable to them, including under applicable US state and local, as well as overseas and other, tax
laws.

It may be difficult for US Mediclinic Shareholders to enforce their rights and any claim arising out of
US federal securities laws, since Mediclinic and Bidco are each located in a non-US jurisdiction, and
some or all of its officers and directors may be residents of non-US jurisdictions. US Mediclinic
Shareholders may not be able to sue a non-US company or its officers or directors in a non-US court
for violations of US securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-US company and its
affiliates to subject themselves to a US court’s judgement.

Forward Looking Statements

This Announcement (including information incorporated by reference in this Announcement), oral
statements made regarding the Acquisition, and other information published by Mediclinic, any
member of the Mediclinic Group, Bidco, the Wider Bidco Group or any member of the Consortium
contain statements which are, or may be deemed to be, “forward-looking statements”. Such forward-
looking statements are prospective in nature and are not based on historical facts, but rather on current
expectations and on numerous assumptions regarding the business strategies and the environment
in which Mediclinic, any member of the Mediclinic Group, Bidco, the Wider Bidco Group or any
member of the Consortium shall operate in the future and are subject to risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by those statements.

The forward-looking statements contained in this Announcement may relate to Mediclinic, any
member of the Mediclinic Group, Bidco, or any member of the Wider Bidco Group or the Enlarged
Group’s future prospects, developments and business strategies, the expected timing and scope of
the Acquisition and all other statements in this Announcement other than statements of historical facts.
In some cases, these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking
terminology, including the terms “believes”, “estimates”, “will look to”, “would look to”, “plans”,
“prepares”, “anticipates”, “expects”, “is expected to”, “is subject to”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “forecasts”,
“synergy”, “strategy”, “goal”, “cost-saving”, “projects” “intends”, “may”, “will”, “shall” or “should” or, in
each case, their negative or other variations or other similar or comparable words and expressions.
Forward-looking statements may include statements relating to the following: (i) future capital
expenditures, expenses, revenues, earnings, synergies, economic performance, indebtedness,
financial condition, dividend policy, losses and future prospects; (ii) business and management
strategies and the expansion and growth of Bidco, the Wider Bidco Group or Mediclinic’s operations
and potential synergies resulting from the Acquisition; and (iii) the effects of global economic
conditions and governmental regulation on Bidco, the Wider Bidco Group or Mediclinic’s business.




                                                                                                          9
By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events
and depend on circumstances that shall occur in the future. These events and circumstances include,
but are not limited to, uncertainties involved in the integration of acquisitions or new developments,
changes in legislation or the regulatory regime governing healthcare in Switzerland, South Africa,
Namibia and the United Arab Emirates, poor performance by healthcare practitioners who practise in
the Mediclinic Group’s facilities, unexpected regulatory actions or suspensions, competition in general,
the Mediclinic Group’s ability to obtain or maintain accreditation or approval for its facilities or service
lines, changes in the global, political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory forces,
future exchange and interest rates, changes in tax rates, future business combinations or disposals,
the impact of tax and other legislation or regulations in the jurisdictions in which the Mediclinic Group
operates, and any epidemic, pandemic or disease outbreak. If any one or more of these risks or
uncertainties materialises or if any one or more of the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may
differ materially from those expected, estimated or projected. Such forward looking statements should
therefore be construed in the light of such factors.

None of Mediclinic, any member of the Wider Mediclinic Group, Bidco, any member of the Bidco
Group, or any of their respective associates or directors, officers or advisers, provides any
representation, assurance or guarantee that the occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any
forward-looking statements in this Announcement shall actually occur. Given these risks and
uncertainties, potential investors should not place any reliance on forward-looking statements.

Specifically, statements of estimated cost savings and synergies relate to future actions and
circumstances which, by their nature involve, risks, uncertainties and contingencies. As a result, any
cost savings and synergies referred to may not be achieved, may be achieved later or sooner than
estimated, or those achieved could be materially different from those estimated. As a result, and given
the fact that the changes relate to the future, the resulting cost synergies may be materially greater or
less than those estimated.

The forward-looking statements speak only at the date of this Announcement. All subsequent oral or
written forward-looking statements attributable to Mediclinic, Bidco or any member of the Wider Bidco
Group or the Mediclinic Group, or any of their respective associates, directors, officers, employees or
advisers, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statement above.

Mediclinic, the Mediclinic Group, Bidco and the Wider Bidco Group expressly disclaim any obligation
to update such statements other than as required by law or by the rules of any competent regulatory
authority, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

No statement in this Announcement is intended as a profit forecast, profit estimate or quantified
financial benefits statement for any period and no statement in this Announcement should be
interpreted to mean that earnings or earnings per share for Mediclinic or Bidco, as appropriate, for the
current or future financial years would necessarily match or exceed the historical published earnings
or earnings per share for Mediclinic or Bidco, as appropriate.
