Changes to the Investment, Audit, and Human Resources and Remuneration Committees
In accordance with the JSE Limited’s Listings Requirements, the board of directors of Life Healthcare (“the
Board”) wishes to advise shareholders of the following changes to the various Board Committees.

Investment Committee
In line with the Board succession and diversity strategy, Caroline Henry is appointed as a member of the
Investment Committee with immediate effect.

Caroline is a Chartered Accountant with more than 20 years of experience in finance. After serving articles at
Coopers & Lybrand (PwC) in 1993, she spent 20 years at Eskom, culminating in leading the Treasury
function and gaining invaluable experience in debt capital markets, risk and treasury. Caroline has had
exposure to a wide variety of market sectors, business transactions and stakeholder interaction, both
domestically and internationally.

Changes to the Human Resources and Remuneration Committee (“RemCo”)
In line with the Board succession strategy, Royden Vice will step down as Chairman of the RemCo after the
Annual General Meeting and with effect from 27 January 2022, and Audrey Mothupi will be appointed as the
Chairman of the RemCo with effect from 27 January 2022. Given Royden’s wealth of knowledge and
experience in human resources and remuneration matters, Royden will remain a member of the RemCo to
ensure a smooth transition. The Company thanks Royden for his invaluable leadership of the RemCo over
the years, and especially through the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Audrey is the chief executive officer of the SystemLogic Group, a global financial innovation and technology
disruptor. Previously, Audrey has also served as the head of inclusive banking at the Standard Bank Group.
Audrey’s experience spans across various business functions including group strategy, human resources,
marketing, communication and corporate affairs. Audrey serves on the board of Pick ‘n Pay as an
independent, non-executive director. She was the Chairman of Orange Babies for South Africa. She also
serves on the boards of Nordic Female Business Angel Network (NFBAN) and the Numeric Board of South
Africa. She was recently appointed to the board of Brainworks Capital and serves as the Chairman of
Roedean Schools (SA).

Both Caroline and Audrey are welcomed into their new roles and we look forward to their contributions.

Changes to the Board
Following a declaration by Cindy Hess in respect of an associate’s shareholding in the Company, the Board
has concluded that Ms Hess can no longer be classified as independent. Consequently, Ms Hess has
advised the Company that she will not be offering herself for election as a director at the AGM to be held on
26 January 2022. Cindy was appointed to the Board on 1 September 2021 and for the short period she
served in the role, has made a valuable and meaningful contribution.

Black Economic Empowerment Amendment Act No.46 of 2013, is available on the Life Healthcare website at
