       The Board is disappointed with the outcome of the voting on the 2020 Remuneration
       Policy and Implementation Report following the significant improvement in the
       voting outcome for the 2019 report.


       “The economic uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact on
       business  performance made   2020 a challenging year to set and implement
       competitive remuneration policies. We have engaged extensively with shareholders
       to understand their concerns and we recognise the fine balance between
       remuneration outcomes which continue to motivate and retain our best people
       whilst remaining aligned to shareholders’ interests,” said Itumeleng Kgaboesele,
       Chairman of the Remuneration committee.

       The Group will continue engaging directly with shareholders to understand their
       exact issues and concerns so that appropriate decisions can be made with respect
       to remuneration policy and implementation for the current and future years. The
       Group will extend an invitation to shareholders through a SENS announcement
       setting out the manner and the timing of the engagement in due course.

       “We remain committed to the continued improvement of our remuneration policies
       and practices through open and transparent engagement with all stakeholders.”
       concludes Kgaboesele.
