A PROPOSED SPECIFIC REPURCHASE, AVAILABILITY OF INTEGRATED REPORT, NO CHANGE
STATEMENT AND NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Specific Repurchase

1. Introduction

    Brimstone has in place a share incentive plan known as the Brimstone Investment Corporation Limited
    Forfeitable Share Plan ("FSP"), in terms of which employees and executive Directors ("Participant/s")
    have an opportunity to receive Ordinary and "N" Ordinary shares in the Company through the award of
    performance shares and/or bonus shares ("Forfeitable Shares").

    Shareholders are advised that the board of Brimstone proposes a specific repurchase of vested
    Forfeitable Shares from Participant/s ("the Specific Repurchase"), at the Company's annual general
    meeting ("AGM") to be held at 10:30 on Monday, 27 May 2024.

    The Specific Repurchase is subject to the provisions of the Memorandum of Incorporation of the
    Company, the Companies Act, No. 71 of 2008 ("the Companies Act") and the JSE Limited ("JSE")
    Listings Requirements, where applicable.

2. Terms of the Specific Repurchase

    2.1.   The Specific Repurchase will be effected by Septen Investments Proprietary Limited, a wholly
           owned subsidiary of Brimstone, through the repurchase of vested Forfeitable Shares from
           Participants for cash.

    2.2.   The maximum number of Forfeitable Shares to be repurchased in respect of the Specific
           Repurchase will not exceed 1 584 910 Ordinary shares and 834 256 "N" Ordinary shares, being
           the number of Forfeitable Shares that may vest in February 2025, and representing 3.97% and
           0.37% of the Company's current issued Ordinary and "N" Ordinary share capital respectively.

    2.3.   The exact Specific Repurchase price cannot be determined at this stage as the value of the
           shares in 2025 is unknown, however, the price will be based on the volume weighted average
           price of Brimstone Ordinary and "N" Ordinary shares traded on the JSE over the 30 business
           days prior to the date of vesting of the Forfeitable Shares and will not be at a premium or a
           discount, as agreed in writing between the Company's wholly owned subsidiary and the relevant
           Participant/s.

    2.4.   Following the Specific Repurchase, the repurchased Forfeitable Shares will be held as treasury
           shares by the Company's wholly owned subsidiary and would be subsequently issued by the
           FSP for settlement of new awards made by the FSP.

    2.5.   After the Specific Repurchase, 3 237 285 Ordinary and 17 580 677 "N" Ordinary shares will be
           held as treasury shares.

    2.6.   The special resolution proposing the Specific Repurchase, which includes full details of the
           Specific Repurchase as required by the JSE Listings Requirements and the Companies Act, is
           contained in the notice of AGM which forms part of the Company's integrated report for the year
           ended 31 December 2023.

3. Impact of the Specific Repurchase on financial information

    3.1.   The maximum Specific Repurchase price cannot be determined at this stage, however based
           on an indicative value of R4.97889 per Brimstone Ordinary share and R4.62408 per Brimstone
           "N" Ordinary share (being the VWAP of Brimstone Ordinary and "N" Ordinary shares traded on
           the JSE over the 30 business days up to and including 5 April 2024), the maximum Specific
           Repurchase price would be approximately R7 891 091.32 and R3 857 663.10 for Brimstone
           Ordinary and "N" Ordinary shares respectively.

    3.2.   The Company's cash balance will decrease in the 2025 financial year by the aggregate Specific
           Repurchase price as a result of the Specific Repurchase. The repurchased Forfeitable Shares
           will continue to be held as treasury shares and there will be no change to the financial
           information.
