CANCELLATION OF THE INTERIM CASH DIVIDEND PAYMENT FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019

In response to the exceptional circumstances announced by the South African President, Cyril
Ramaphosa, and global leaders in countries within which we operate, shareholders are referred to the
interim dividend declaration announced on 26 February 2020, in terms of which shareholders were
advised that the board of directors of Motus (“Board”) had declared an interim cash dividend of 240
cents per share for the six months ended 31 December 2019 (“interim dividend”).

Given the uncertainty as to the duration and extent of the impact the COVID-19 virus is having and
will continue to have on commercial activities in South Africa and internationally, the Board considers
it prudent and in the best interests of the Company and all its stakeholders to preserve the Company’s
financial liquidity.

Whilst Motus continues to maintain its ability to meet its current solvency and liquidity obligations, as
a precautionary measure to provide Motus with additional financial flexibility and bolster its liquidity
in an extraordinary time of uncertainty, the Board has resolved to cancel the payment of the interim
dividend.

The payment of a final dividend following the release of its results for the year ending 30 June 2020,
which is expected to be on or about 26 August 2020, will be based on the annual Headline Earnings
Per Share subject to continued assessment of all relevant circumstances.

The information contained in this announcement has not been reviewed or reported on by Motus’
external auditors.
