Karooooo Ltd. Announces Pricing of Secondary Public Offering of Ordinary Shares

Karooooo Ltd. ("Karooooo") today announced the pricing of an underwritten secondary public offering (the
"Offering") of 1,500,000 ordinary shares held by Isaias (Zak) Jose Calisto, Karooooo's chief executive officer
(the "Selling Shareholder"), at a price to the public of $50.00 per ordinary share (the "public offering price") for
total gross proceeds of approximately $75.0 million. The Offering is expected to close on June 13, 2025,
subject to customary closing conditions. In addition, the underwriters of the Offering will have a 30-day option
to purchase up to an additional 225,000 ordinary shares from the Selling Shareholder at the public offering
price. Karooooo's ordinary shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "KARO."

Karooooo is not selling any ordinary shares in the Offering and will not receive any of the proceeds from the
sale of any ordinary shares by the Selling Shareholder, but will bear the costs associated with the sale of such
shares, other than any underwriting commissions, which will be borne by the Selling Shareholder.

Following completion of the Offering, the Selling Shareholder will continue to beneficially own 17,917,958
ordinary shares, or 58.00% (or 17,692,958 ordinary shares, or 57.27% if the option to purchase additional
shares is exercised in full) of the 30,893,300 ordinary shares issued and outstanding. In addition, Juan Marais,
the Chief Sales Officer of Karooooo, is the beneficial owner of 3,250,793 ordinary shares, or 10.52% of the
issued and outstanding shares of Karooooo, through One Spire (Pty) Ltd. ("One Spire"). The Selling
Shareholder and One Spire have agreed that if the Selling Shareholder's beneficial ownership falls to below
51% of the issued and outstanding shares of Karooooo, then One Spire will cast all votes in respect of the
ordinary shares that One Spire beneficially owns as directed by the Selling Shareholder.
