ODD-LOT OFFER PRICE AND FINALISATION ANNOUNCEMENT


1.   Background and Odd-lot Offer Price

     City Lodge Shareholders are referred to the circular distributed to Shareholders on Thursday, 26 October 2023 relating
     to, inter alia, the Odd-lot Offer ("Circular") and related announcements, the last of which was released on SENS on
     Friday, 24 November 2023, wherein it was advised that the Resolutions required to implement the Odd-lot Offer were
     approved by the requisite majority of Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Unless otherwise defined, the
     definitions and interpretations contained in the Circular apply, mutatis mutandis, to terms used in this announcement.

     The Odd-lot Offer Price is equal to 470.23454 cents, being a 5% premium to the 30-day VWAP of a Share at the close of
     business on Friday, 1 December 2023, being 447.84242 cents.

     Odd-lot Holders can elect to retain their Odd-lot Holdings or sell their Odd-lot Holdings at the Offer Price. Those Odd-
     lot Holders who do not make an election by 12:00 on Thursday, 14 December 2023 will automatically be regarded as
     having accepted the Odd-lot Offer and chosen to dispose of their Odd-lot Holdings to City Lodge at the Odd-lot Offer
     Price and to receive the Odd-lot Consideration.

2.   Transaction costs for Odd-lot Holders

     Shareholders eligible to participate in the Odd-lot Offer will not bear any transaction costs in respect of the Odd-lot
     Offer.

     Securities transfer tax, if any, will be paid by City Lodge at a rate of 0.25% calculated on the taxable amount as
     determined in section 5(1)(a) of the Securities Transfer Tax Act No. 25 of 2007.

3.   Tax consequences

     As set out in the Circular, the Board has resolved that the Odd-lot Offer will be distributed as a return of capital (paid
     out of 'contributed tax capital' as defined in section 1 of the Income Tax Act). The Odd-lot Consideration will therefore
     not be regarded as a dividend for South African income tax purposes but as proceeds (either on revenue account or on
     capital account, depending on the intention with which the Shareholder acquired, held and disposed of the Shares) on
     the disposal of City Lodge Shares. In terms of section 9C of the Income Tax Act, if the Shareholder held the Shares for
     at least 3 years, the proceeds on disposal will automatically be deemed to be of a capital nature.

     The Odd-lot Offer may be subject to tax in the relevant jurisdiction of the Odd-lot Holder arising from the disposal of
     the Odd-lot Holdings by the Odd-lot Holders who make an election to sell their Odd-lot Holdings to City Lodge or who
     do not make an election or who do not return their Form of Election and Surrender (blue) timeously to the Transfer
     Secretaries.

     Shareholders are referred to Annexure 1 of the Circular, which contains a general summary of the tax consequences
     for South African Odd-lot Holders who make an election to sell their Odd-lot Holdings to City Lodge or who do not make
     an election.
     Shareholders should, however, seek their own tax and/or other professional advice regarding the taxation implications
     of the Odd-lot Offer.
