REVISED NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Shareholders are referred to the Notice of Annual General Meeting and Form of Proxy which were distributed to shareholders
with the Integrated Annual Report on 28 July 2023 (Original Notice).

Since the publication thereof, and further to the announcement released on SENS on 7 August 2023 wherein shareholders
were advised of, inter alia, changes to the composition of the Premier Board of Directors (Board) and to the Board’s committees,
the Original Notice has been amended and a revised Notice of Annual General Meeting (Revised Notice) and updated Form
of Proxy have been published on the Company’s website https://www.premierfmcg.com/investors/results-reports and
distributed to shareholders today, 8 August 2023.

The reasons for the publication of the Revised Notice are as follows:

Ordinary Resolution Number 1:

Mr Rolf Hartmann had been nominated to retire by rotation and to be re-elected as a non-executive director of the Company in
terms of Ordinary Resolution Number 1 of the Original Notice. As referred to in the announcement released on SENS on 7
August 2023, Mr Hartmann will no longer be making himself available for re-election at the Company’s Annual General Meeting
to be held on Tuesday, 5 September 2023 (AGM) and will accordingly resign at the conclusion thereof. In addition, in
accordance with clause 36.2 of the Company’s Memorandum of Incorporation (MOI), the appointment of Mr Peter Hayward-
Butt as an alternate director to Mr Hartmann will terminate upon Mr Hartmann’s resignation.

Accordingly, Ordinary Resolution Number 1 of the Original Notice has been withdrawn and replaced with Ordinary Resolution
Number 1 of the Revised Notice, the latter of which deals with the appointment of Mr Peter Hayward-Butt as an alternate
director to Mr Jonathan Matthews in accordance with clause 66(4)(b) of the Companies Act, No. 71 of 2008, as amended, and
clauses 35.2 and 36.1 of the Company’s MOI.

Ordinary Resolution Number 4.1:

Ordinary Resolution Number 4.1 of the Original Notice proposed the appointment of Mr Rolf Hartmann as a member of the
Audit and Risk Committee. Due to Mr Hartmann’s resignation from the Board, his name has been substituted with that of Mr
Jonathan Matthews in Ordinary Resolution Number 4.1 of the Revised Notice.

The Board is satisfied that Mr Matthews meets the requirements of section 94(4) of the Companies Act, as well as the minimum
qualification requirements for a member of an audit committee.

Ordinary Resolution Number 5.1:

Ordinary Resolution Number 5.1 of the Original Notice proposed the appointment of Mr Rolf Hartmann as a member of the
Social and Ethics Committee. Due to Mr Hartmann’s resignation from the Board, his name has been substituted with that of Ms
Faith Khanyile in Ordinary Resolution Number 5.1 of the Revised Notice.

Updated Form of Proxy:

An updated Form of Proxy incorporating the aforementioned changes accompanies the Revised Notice. Shareholders who
have already submitted their Forms of Proxy to the Company’s transfer secretaries, Computershare Investor Services
Proprietary Limited, are encouraged to re-submit the revised Form of Proxy that forms part of the Revised Notice.
Shareholders are advised that Premier’s AGM will still be held in hybrid format, both electronically (online) through the
interactive meeting platform of Premier’s transfer secretaries, Computershare Investor Services Proprietary Limited, as well as
in person at the Premier Head Office, Building 5, Maxwell Office Park, Magwa Crescent West, Waterfall City, Midrand,
Johannesburg at 14h00 on Tuesday, 5 September 2023, to transact the business set out in the Revised Notice, which replaces
the Original Notice in toto.

The Company’s 2023 integrated report, distributed to shareholders on 28 July 2023, in conjunction with the Original Notice,
remains available on the Company’s website: https://www.premierfmcg.com/investors/results-reports
