GENERAL UPDATE ON RMH AND ON RMH PROPERTY'S STRATEGY

Shareholders are referred to the following link on RMH's website (https://www.rmh-online.co.za/stakeholder-relations/financial-results/) where a document setting out a
general update on RMH and on RMH Property Holdings Proprietary Limited's ("RMH Property") strategy provided to shareholders present at the AGM, is available.

RMH Property has entered into a joint venture opportunity with Atterbury Europe B.V. in Bucharest ("Atterbury Bucharest") to develop a new hub for business,
entertainment, retail and residential living. RMH Property invested R698 million of equity capital in November 2018 into Atterbury Bucharest, with a further R1.8 billion
committed for deployment in 2019, subject to certain conditions being met. In addition, R150 million of equity capital was invested in Divercity Urban Property Fund
Proprietary Limited in October 2018.

Post deployment of the above equity capital, RMH Property and its investments will be adequately capitalised at approximately R4 billion, providing a foundation to enter a
period of consolidation for future growth. In collaboration with its core partner, Atterbury Property Holdings Proprietary Limited, as well as the satellite partners, the focus of
RMH Property will shift to value maximisation from the existing portfolio. No further investments are contemplated by RMH Property for the foreseeable future.

RMH Property will maintain existing balance sheet support for its portfolio companies with approximately R2.3 billion of committed guarantees to facilitate medium-term
development growth in these companies.

Taking into account the committed equity capital set out above and based on current funding rates, less than 2%1 of the dividends received from FirstRand Limited will be
utilised to service funding for RMH Property.

The RMH Board continues to dynamically assess options for its interest in RMH Property that may include a structural liberation of RMH Property from RMH at the
appropriate time.
