SETTLEMENT BY SABVEST LIMITED (“SABVEST”) OF SECTION 164 APPRAISAL CLAIMS

Sabcap shareholders are advised that Sabvest has settled the appraisal rights claims brought against
it, pursuant to the scheme of arrangement implemented on 18 May 2020 between Sabvest and
Sabvest shareholders, as follows:

1. The claims by Sabvest shareholders arise from the scheme of arrangement approved by
shareholders on 27 March 2020 (“Relevant Date”) in terms of which Sabcap acquired all the shares in
Sabvest in exchange for Sabcap consideration shares, which Sabcap shares were subsequently listed
on the Main Board of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (“JSE”).

2. Sabvest shareholders holding 251 880 Sabvest shares exercised their appraisal rights and demanded
that their shares (“the appraisal rights shares”) be acquired by Sabvest for cash at “fair value” plus
interest, notwithstanding that they held the same look through portfolio of assets both before and
after implementation of the scheme of arrangement and related restructure.

3. In the founding court affidavit, the applicants contended that R69,21 represented the fair value per
Sabvest share, being the applicants’ estimate of the NAV per Sabvest share at the Relevant Date,
referenced to the published NAV per Sabvest share of R66,89 as at 31 December 2019.

4. Sabvest contended that the fair value of Sabvest shares as JSE-listed shares was either their spot
market price of R30,00 per share, or the 30 day VWAP of R33,67 (being the highest of the 30, 60 and
90 day VWAPs) calculated to 26 March 2020, and offered the latter to the applicants in settlement of
their appraisal rights claims. This basis of calculating the fair value of Sabvest shares and the amount
offered were supported by the opinions of two separate, independent professional valuers.

5. In the interests of expediency, and to avoid ongoing legal costs and use of executive time in the
context of the size of the claim, Sabvest has acquired the appraisal rights shares in two tranches. One
shareholder had already accepted Sabvest’s offer of R33,67. The applicants themselves and Sabvest
negotiated a price of R47,54 for the balance of the appraisal rights shares (without Sabvest and the
applicants agreeing on any specific fair value methodology or calculations). The details are as follows:

- 13 252 shares for R33,67 per share free of interest; and
- 238 628 shares for R47,54 per share free of interest.

The parties are responsible for their own legal costs.
