CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER SUCCESSION AND APPOINTMENT OF CHIEF
OPERATING OFFICER AND DEPUTY CHAIRMAN

In compliance with paragraph 3.59 of the JSE Listings Requirements, shareholders are
advised that Rudolf Fourie will retire as Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of Raubex
effective 31 July 2022, following which he will assume a new position as non-executive
Deputy Chairman of the Company from 1 August 2022 with a focus on business strategy
and M&A.

As part of a succession process, the Board is pleased to announce that Felicia Msiza,
currently Executive Director: governance, risk and compliance, has been appointed as
CEO of the Company, effective 1 August 2022.

In addition, due to the increasing scale and complexity of the business, the Board has
taken the decision to create an Executive Chief Operating Officer (“COO”) position which
will be assumed by Dirk Lourens, the current Managing Director of Raubex’s
Infrastructure Division.

Rudolf joined Raubex in 1997 as Managing Director of the then newly formed Roadmac
Surfacing, before being appointed as Raubex’s CEO in March 2010. Under his
leadership, Raubex successfully diversified and grew into one of South Africa’s leading
infrastructure development and construction materials supply groups with operations
across Africa and Western Australia. At the beginning of 2022, Rudolf indicated that he
was beginning to consider retiring at some point for personal and health reasons, but
also to enable an orderly succession process to take the company forward on its next
growth phase.

Felicia joined Raubex in February 2011 as an independent Non-executive Director and
was subsequently appointed as Executive Director in March 2017. Her extensive
knowledge and experience in the field of governance, auditing and risk management
have been instrumental in enabling Raubex to strengthen its structures and processes in
line with its growth.

Dirk joined Raubex in 2012 when the Infrastructure Division was established and was
appointed Managing Director of the division in May 2017. With 29 years’ experience in
the construction industry, Dirk played a leading role in growing the division in support of
Raubex’s diversification outside of the road construction sector, including in renewable
energy, rail, telecommunication as well as housing and commercial building
refurbishment and construction.

Commenting on the leadership changes on behalf of the Board, Freddie Kenney,
Chairman of Raubex, said: “Rudolf has put his heart and soul into Raubex over the
past 25 years and we are grateful to retain his expertise in the new role of Deputy
Chairman. His ability to leverage the Company’s proud history to drive a growth
strategy underpinned by astute leadership, operational discipline, customer focus
and a caring approach for people, has created a much stronger and more diverse
Company that offers substantial value for all stakeholders.
“We are also particularly pleased to have maintained our successful track-record
of promoting from within the business and congratulate Felicia and Dirk on their
promotions to CEO and COO respectively. We are confident that their unique and
complementary skillsets are ideally suited as we embark on a new growth chapter
and look forward to continue working closely with them.”
