SUCCESSFUL CONCLUSION OF THE DISPOSAL OF MUCH ASPHALT

Shareholders and noteholders are referred to, inter alia, the announcement published on the Stock Exchange News
Service of the JSE Limited on 4 November 2024, relating to the disposal of AECI's 100% shareholding in its wholly
owned subsidiary, Much Asphalt (Proprietary) Limited (Much Asphalt), (the Transaction).

The Group is pleased to report that all suspensive conditions to the Transaction have now been fulfilled and the
divestment process of Much Asphalt has been successfully concluded. As previously reported, the Transaction was
concluded on a "locked-box" structure effective 31 December 2024, subject to ordinary course leakage provisions.
Pleasingly, the Transaction closed in line with the previously guided purchase consideration of R1 100 million. The
purchase consideration has been transferred to AECI and will be utilised in line with AECI's capital allocation
framework.

The board of directors of AECI would like to express its sincere gratitude to the management and staff of Much Asphalt
for their dedication and support throughout the years, and looks forward to learning of continued growth and success
of Much Asphalt under new ownership.

The disposal of Much Asphalt is in alignment with AECI's strategy of optimising its portfolio and creating a platform for
growth. The Company is focusing on its core businesses, namely AECI Mining and AECI Chemicals while divesting
from managed businesses that offer limited synergies with the chosen core businesses. This strategic shift aims to
streamline operations, enhance efficiency, and leverage in-house expertise by concentrating efforts on areas where
AECI has a competitive advantage and strong market potential.
