(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)

(“Nu-World” or “the Group” or “the Company”)

Preliminary reviewed consolidated annual results for the year ended 31 August 2021, dividend declaration and
notice of annual general meeting (“AGM”)

Introduction to the Nu-World Holdings Group

Nu-World is a company incorporated and domiciled in South Africa with subsidiaries in Australia, Brazil, Dubai, Hong
Kong and Lesotho. The main business of Nu-World and its subsidiaries includes the importing, assembling, marketing
and distribution of branded consumer goods.

The Board presents the Nu-World summary results for the twelve months ended 31 August 2021.

The Group’s results to 31 August 2021 were reasonable, taking into context the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown
in South Africa as well as all the other countries in which we trade. The various lockdowns during 2020 / 2021 came on
top of a severely distressed SA economy. The looting and insurrection in July 2021 had the greatest negative impact
on the Group’s Q4 2021 results
