** ENGAGEMENT WITH SHAREHOLDERS REGARDING THE GROUP'S REMUNERATION
POLICY AND IMPLEMENTATION REPORT
More than 25% of the votes cast on non-binding advisory resolutions numbered 8.1 and 8.2 were
exercised against the endorsement of the group's remuneration policy and implementation report.
In accordance with the JSE Limited Listings Requirements and the recommendations of the King IV
Report on Corporate Governance for South Africa, 2016, the company hereby invites dissenting
shareholders to send their comments / concerns / questions / recommendations regarding the group's
remuneration policy and/or implementation report, in writing, to Truworths Investor Relations, at
investorrelations@truworths.co.za, so as to be received by no later than close of business on Friday,
14 November 2025.
The comments received will be coordinated in preparation for a virtual meeting with such shareholders
with representatives of the company's board of directors ("board") to be scheduled.
The company's remuneration committee endeavours to ensure that remuneration across the group is
aligned with its business philosophy and strategy, while creating sustainable value for stakeholders.
The group therefore welcomes constructive engagement on remuneration-related issues.
CHANGE TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The board further announces that Mr RG Dow, who retired by rotation at the AGM, did not make himself
available for re-election as a director of the company and has retired from the board, as well as the
company's Nomination Committee and Remuneration Committee, with effect from the conclusion of the
AGM.
Mr Dow has been an independent non-executive director since February 1998, and has served on
various board committees during this period.
The board would like to express its sincere appreciation to Mr Dow for his invaluable contribution and
dedication to the company over this extended period.
