shall bear the same meanings ascribed thereto in the Circular (as defined below).
1.2. Shareholders are referred to:
1.1.1 the circular issued and posted to Shareholders on Friday, 24 October 2025 ("Circular")
regarding the scheme of arrangement in terms of section 114(1)(e), read with section 115
of the Companies Act, 71 of 2008, proposed by the Board between Safari and its
Shareholders ("Scheme"); and
1.1.2 the announcement released on SENS on Friday, 21 November 2025, pursuant to the

in the Circular have been fulfilled, and the Scheme has become unconditional with effect from
today, 8 December 2025.
2.2. As such, the Clean Out Distribution will be implemented in accordance with the salient dates
and times as set out in the Circular. Shareholders should, however, note that the Scheme is
not capable of implementation unless the TRP issues the requisite compliance certificate,
which is anticipated to be received on or about Wednesday, 10 December 2025. Should the
TRP issue the requisite compliance certificate, both the Scheme and Clean Out Distribution
will be implemented in accordance with the salient dates and times as set out in the Circular.

equal to R1.45383 for those shareholders who are not exempt from dividend tax.

DWT to be withheld in full, you must provide the regulated intermediary with the requisite
SARS declaration and undertaking as soon as possible but in any event before 12h00 on the
Scheme Consideration Record Date (or such earlier date as may be required in terms of your
mandate with your CSDP or Broker).
