terms of section 45(3)(b) of the Companies Act, authorising the EOH Group to provide financial assistance to
EOH Mthombo Proprietary Limited (“EOH Mthombo”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of EOH, through the
provision of additional security (in the form of a pledge and cession in security in respect of certain shares,
claims and other assets and rights held by the Company from time to time) as security for its obligations under
a counter-indemnity agreement given in favour of K2016471969 (South Africa) Proprietary Limited (as Debt
Guarantor) (the “Debt Guarantor”), given pursuant to a debt guarantee issued by the Debt Guarantor to a
consortium of senior lenders to the EOH Group (the “Senior Lenders“) for the performance of any obligations
due by EOH Mthombo in terms of the facility agreements and other finance documents concluded between
EOH Mthombo and the Senior Lenders from time to time, which is currently an amount of approximately
R2.9 billion.

The provision of the guarantee as described above constitutes financial assistance in terms of section 45(1) of
