** Notification was received on 22 May 2026 that the Companies Act amendments, relating to remuneration disclosure and approval requirements, came into force with immediate effect. The Kumba notice of AGM and remuneration
report were circulated to shareholders on 10 April 2026 and the remuneration resolutions were therefore proposed as non-binding resolutions. The AGM must be conducted in accordance with the law prevailing at the time of
distribution of the Notice on AGM and, hence, the resolutions are put to shareholders as set out in the Notice. Kumba is taking legal advice in respect of the basis for future implementation of, and full compliance with, the amendments
to the Companies Act.

Change to the Board of Directors
As indicated in the Notice of AGM distributed to shareholders on 10 April 2026, Mr Sango Ntsaluba stepped down as independent non-executive director at the conclusion of today's AGM, having served on the Kumba Board for nine
years. Accordingly, he also ceased to be a member and Chairperson of the Audit Committee, a member of the Nominations and Governance Committee and a member of the Strategy and Investment Committee. As previously
announced on the Stock Exchange News Service on 12 May 2026, Mr Vuyisa Nkonyeni will, with effect from 27 May 2026, serve as Chairperson and member of the Audit Committee, as well as a member of the Strategy and
Investment Committee and the Nominations and Governance Committee.
