         with clause 5.7.2 of the memorandum of incorporation of Peregrine and section 59 of the Companies Act.

         the Supplementary Circular, Forms of Proxy submitted for the General Meeting convened in terms of the Notice of General

         pursuant to the Initial General Meeting Postponement Notice (as defined in the Supplementary Circular), remain valid in respect
         of the General Meeting. Any Proxy Form Withdrawal Notice not delivered to the Transfer Secretaries by the stipulated date and
         time may be delivered to the chairman of the General Meeting before the start of the General Meeting.

         Act nor (ii) give notice objecting to the Scheme Resolution as contemplated in section 164(3) of the Companies Act and vote
         against the Scheme Resolution at the General Meeting, in respect of 1% (one percent) or more of all of the Peregrine Shares in
         issue (excluding Treasury Shares). The actual dates will be confirmed in the finalisation announcement if the Scheme becomes
         unconditional.

         or waived by Friday, 11 September 2020. The actual dates will be confirmed in the finalisation announcement if the General Offer
         becomes unconditional.

5.   REVISED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE OFFER ON AN OFFER PARTICIPANT

     5.1     Peregrine Shareholders are referred to the Circular, which includes the pro forma financial effects of
             the Offer on an Offer Participant who receives the Share Consideration. The pro forma financial effects
             have been revised based on the FY2020 Results, as detailed in annexures 1 and 2 to the Supplementary
             Circular.

     5.2     The remainder of this paragraph 5 and the table below set out the pro forma financial effects of the
             Offer on an Offer Participant who receives the Share Consideration, as extracted from paragraph 3 of
             the Supplementary Circular.

     5.3     The pro forma financial effects have been prepared for illustrative purposes only in order to provide
             information on how the Offer may affect the financial performance and position of an Offer
             Participant who receives the Share Consideration, by illustrating the effect thereof on the basic and
             diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) and basic and diluted headline earnings per share (“HEPS”) for
             both continuing and discontinued operations, and the net asset value per share (“NAVPS”) and
             tangible net asset value per share (“TNAVPS”) of an Offer Share that an Offer Participant will be
             exchanging for the EPS, HEPS, NAVPS and TNAVPS per one InvestCo A Share or one InvestCo B
             Share, presented separately for an InvestCo A Share and an InvestCo B Share.

     5.4     Consequently, the pro forma financial effects of the Offer on an Offer Participant reflect a
             comparison of (i) the financial information extracted and/or derived from the FY2020 Results, as
             adjusted (further details of which are contained in annexure 1 to the Supplementary Circular)
             (“Peregrine Pro forma Financial Effects”) and (ii) the financial information extracted and/or
             derived from InvestCo’s audited financial statements as at 31 March 2020, adjusted for the Offer
             (further details of which are contained in annexure 2 to the Supplementary Circular) (“InvestCo Pro
             forma Financial Effects”), by multiplying the InvestCo Pro forma Financial Effects by the exchange
             ratio of one InvestCo Share for every one Offer Share, in order to provide the pro forma financial
             effects of the Offer on an Offer Participant who receives the Share Consideration.

     5.5     The pro forma financial effects have been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Offer on an Offer
             Participant who receives the Share Consideration, had the Offer been implemented on 1 April 2019
             for purposes of EPS and HEPS and on 31 March 2020 for purposes of NAVPS and TNAVPS.

     5.6     The pro forma financial effects set out below are the responsibility of the directors of Peregrine,
             InvestCo and BidCo.

     5.7     The pro forma financial effects are provided for illustrative purposes only and because of their nature,
             may not fairly represent the financial performance and position of an Offer Participant after the
             implementation of the Offer.

     5.8     The pro forma financial effects have been prepared in accordance with International Financial
             Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), the Guide on Pro forma Financial Information issued by the South
             African Institute of Chartered Accountants, the JSE Listings Requirements and the Regulations.

     5.9     The pro forma financial effects have been presented in respect of the following scenarios:

             5.9.1      Scenario 1: Offer Participants Elect to receive the Share Consideration in respect of
                        30 000 000 (thirty million) Offer Shares (being the Minimum Share Consideration
                        Election).

             5.9.2      Scenario 2: Offer Participants Elect to receive the Share Consideration in respect of
                        40 327 465 (forty million three hundred and twenty seven thousand four hundred and sixty
                        five) Offer Shares (being the maximum Share Consideration Elections that may be
                        received before the Deemed Cash Election calculation is applied).

     5.10   The independent reporting accountants’ assurance report on the pro forma financial effects on an
            Offer Participant is set out in annexure 3 to the Supplementary Circular.

Disclaimer
This announcement shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy
securities, nor shall there be any sale of the securities described herein, in any jurisdiction, in which
such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the
securities laws of such -jurisdiction or without an exemption from the registration or qualification
requirements under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.

The distribution of this announcement in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by applicable law
and therefore persons in such jurisdictions into which this announcement is released, published or
distributed should inform themselves about and observe such restrictions.

In the European Economic Area (the “EEA”), this announcement is addressed only to and directed
only at, persons in member states who are "qualified investors" within the meaning of Article 2(e)
of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (“Qualified Investors”). In the United Kingdom, this announcement
is being distributed only to, and is directed only at, Qualified Investors who are: (i) persons who
have professional experience in matters relating to investments falling within Article 19(5) of the
Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005, as amended (the
"Order"), (ii) high net worth entities falling within Article 49(2)(a) to (d) of the Order, and (iii)
persons to whom it may otherwise lawfully be communicated (all such persons together being
referred to as “relevant persons”). This announcement must not be acted on or relied on (i) in the
United Kingdom, by persons who are not relevant persons, and (ii) in any member state of the EEA,
by persons who are not Qualified Investors. In the UK and EEA, any investment or investment
activity to which this announcement relates will be available only to (i) in the United Kingdom,

Notice to US investors in Peregrine
The Offer relates to the shares of a South African company and is being made by means of a scheme
of arrangement provided for under South African company law. A transaction effected by means of
a scheme of arrangement is not subject to the tender offer or proxy solicitation rules under the US
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “US Exchange Act”). Accordingly, the Offer is subject to the
disclosure requirements and practices applicable in South Africa to schemes of arrangement which
differ from the disclosure requirements of the US tender offer and proxy solicitation rules. The
financial information included in this announcement has been prepared in accordance with
accounting standards applicable in South Africa and thus may not be comparable to financial
information of US companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles in the US.

If, in the future, BidCo exercises its right to implement the Offer by way of the General Offer, which
is to be made into the US, such Offer will be made in compliance with the applicable US laws and
regulations, including Section 14(e) and Regulation 14E under the US Exchange Act.

It may be difficult for US holders of Peregrine Shares to enforce their rights and any claim arising
out of the US federal laws, since Capitalworks, BidCo, InvestCo and Peregrine are located in a
non-US jurisdiction, and some or all of their officers and directors may be residents of a non-US
jurisdiction. US holders of Peregrine Shares may not be able to sue a non-US company or its
officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of the US securities laws. Further, it may be
difficult to compel a non-US company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a US court’s
judgement.

Neither the US Securities and Exchange Commission nor any US state securities commission has
approved or disapproved of the acquisition, or determined if this announcement is accurate or
complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the US.

US Peregrine Shareholders also should be aware that the transaction contemplated herein may
have tax consequences in the US and, that such consequences, if any, are not described herein. US
Peregrine Shareholders are urged to consult with legal, tax and financial advisers in connection
with making a decision regarding this transaction.

Forward-looking statements
The statements contained in this announcement that are not historical facts are “forward-looking”
statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of substantial risks and
uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company’s, Capitalworks’, InvestCo’s and BidCo’s
control and actual results and developments may differ materially from those expressed or implied
by these statements for a variety of factors. These forward-looking statements are statements based
on the Company’s, Capitalworks’, InvestCo’s and BidCo’s current intentions, beliefs and
expectations about among other things, the Company’s results of operations, financial condition,
prospects, growth, strategies and the industry in which the Company operates. By their nature,
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and
depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. Many of these risks and
uncertainties relate to factors that are beyond the Company’s, Capitalworks’, InvestCo’s and
BidCo’s ability to control or estimate precisely, such as changes in taxation, future market
conditions, currency fluctuations, the actions of governmental regulators and other risk factors.
Such risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to vary materially from the future results
indicated, expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking
statements contained in this announcement speak only as of the date of this announcement and the
Company, Capitalworks, InvestCo and BidCo undertake no duty to update any of them publicly in
light of new information or future events, except to the extent required by applicable law or the JSE
Listings Requirements.

No statement in this announcement is intended as a profit forecast or a profit estimate and no
statement in this announcement should be interpreted to mean that earnings per Peregrine Share
for the current or future financial years would necessarily match or exceed the historical published
earnings per Peregrine Share. Prices and values of, and income from, shares may go down as well
as up and an investor may not get back the amount invested. It should be noted that past
performance is no guide to future performance. Persons needing advice should consult an
independent financial adviser.
