FINALISATION OF THE SCHEME OF ARRANGEMENT AND CLEAN OUT DISTRIBUTION


1.      INTRODUCTION

1.1.      Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalised words and terms contained in this announcement
          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
             General Meeting held on the same day, at which the special and ordinary resolutions set
             out in the Notice of General Meeting (which was attached to and formed part of the
             Circular) were passed by the requisite majorities.

2.      FULFILMENT OF SCHEME CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

2.1.      Shareholders are hereby advised that all remaining Scheme Conditions Precedent as set out
          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.

2.3.      The remaining salient dates and times relating to the implementation of the Scheme and Clean
          Out Distribution, which are unchanged from those indicatively provided in the Circular, are set

3.     TAX CONSEQUENCES FOR SCHEME PARTICIPANTS

3.1.      Shareholders are reminded that R6.18271 of the Scheme Consideration will be distributed as
          a return of capital and will result in a reduction of CTC as defined in section 1 of the Income
          Tax Act. The remaining balance of the Scheme Consideration will be regarded under South
          African tax laws as a dividend for income tax purposes. The gross remaining balance of the
          Scheme Consideration is equal to R1.81729, and net of South African dividend tax of 20%, is
          equal to R1.45383 for those shareholders who are not exempt from dividend tax.

3.2.      If you are either exempt from DWT or subject to DWT at a reduced rate, and do not wish the
          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).
