Withdrawal of resolution 3.3. to be tabled at Annual General Meeting (“AGM”)
Shareholders are advised that ordinary resolution 3.3, which proposes the election of Ms Vaneese Wing
Ye Chu as director of the Tharisa Board of Directors (“the Board”), has been withdrawn from consideration
at the Company’s upcoming AGM scheduled for 10 February 2021, due to Ms Chu no longer being
available for election. She will therefore retire by rotation with effect from the conclusion of the AGM.
Despite her relatively short tenure as member of the Board, Ms Chu has made a valuable contribution to
the Company and the Board wishes her well.
The withdrawal of ordinary resolution 3.3 from the AGM does not affect the proxy form, whether already
submitted or to be submitted, in respect of the remaining resolutions to be proposed at the AGM and all
voting instructions submitted prior to this announcement will remain valid.
Shareholders are reminded that should they wish to participate in the AGM via electronic communication,
they must apply to the Company’s transfer secretaries at proxy@computershare.co.za by no later than
10:00 on Friday, 5 February 2021. Shareholders are also reminded that they will not be able to vote during
the meeting. Should they wish to have their vote counted at the meeting, they must act in accordance
with the general proxy and form of instruction submission instructions outlined in the Notice of Annual
General Meeting, which is available on the Company’s website www.tharisa.com.

Amendment of the summary of the principal terms of the LTIP (“the LTIP”)
Shareholders are referred to ordinary resolution 8 to be tabled for consideration at the upcoming AGM
scheduled for 10 February 2021, which proposes the approval and adoption of the LTIP rules, subject to
such amendments as may be required by the applicable regulators, and the summary of the principal
terms of the LTIP contained in the Notice of AGM.
Shareholders are advised that, based on feedback from the regulators, the draft rules of the LTIP have
been amended by the deletion of “Dividend equivalents” referred to in point 13 of the summary.
The amended LTIP will be available on the Company’s website (www.tharisa.com) up to and including the
