Shareholders and noteholders are referred to the announcement released on SENS on 9 February 2021
wherein, inter alia, shareholders and noteholders were advised that Djurk Venter had informed the board of
his intention to retire from the board by the end of May 2021. Consequently, Djurk will also retire as
chairperson of the audit committee and member of the remuneration committee.
Shareholders and noteholders are advised that Djurk Venter will retire as a director of Fortress with effect
from 11 June 2021. The Fortress board expresses its appreciation for Djurk’s valuable contribution over the
years and wishes him well with his future endeavours.
In accordance with Fortress’ board appointment policy, Bram Goossens has been appointed as an
independent non-executive director of Fortress with immediate effect, in order to fill the board vacancy as
a result of Djurk’s retirement. Bram has been appointed as a member of the audit committee and the social,

Bram served as the chief financial officer of Equites Property Fund Limited (“Equites”) from shortly after
its listing in 2014 until December 2019. Bram also previously served as the chair of the Accounting and JSE
committee of the SA REIT association and drove the drafting and release of the second edition of the SA
REIT Best Practice Recommendations. Prior to joining Equites, Bram was a partner with PwC in Cape
Town where he serviced some of PwC’s key clients in the retail, industrial and property sectors in the
Western Cape. At the beginning of 2020, Bram formed his own corporate advisory practice, Blue Triangle,
and advises a number of large corporates and private equity firms. Bram brings with him a strong knowledge
of IFRS, the JSE Listings Requirements and other regulatory frameworks.
