shareholders who have not yet engaged with the Company, to address their concerns on the remuneration policy and
remuneration implementation report. Shareholders are invited to provide their reasons for voting against the resolutions,
as well as their concerns with the remuneration policy and implementation report, in writing to the chairman of the
remuneration committee, Eddy Oblowitz, by emailing the company secretary at tamlyn@fortressfund.co.za by close of

reasonable concerns raised by shareholders.
