REPURCHASE IMPLEMENTED; DEALINGS IN SHARES BY ASSOCIATES OF DIRECTORS

Shareholders are referred to the Company’s SENS announcement on 6 March 2019, advising
of the specific repurchase (“Repurchase”) by the Company from certain black economic
empowerment (“BEE”) parties (“BEE Parties”) of shares issued to them under the Company’s
2012 Phase II Broad-Based BEE Transaction (“BEE Transaction”), such shares having been
offered to the Company in terms of its pre-emptive right under the BEE Transaction.

Shareholders are advised that the Repurchase was implemented on 11 March 2019, with the
shares in question being repurchased at R78.19 per share, reflecting a 3% discount to the
volume weighted average price of Pioneer Foods shares on the JSE for the 30 trading days
up to and including 20 February 2019.

The Repurchase occurred under the existing specific repurchase authority obtained from
Pioneer Foods shareholders at the Company’s general meeting on 17 February 2012, at which
the BEE Transaction was approved.

Certain of the BEE Parties participating in the Repurchase are associates of directors of
Pioneer Foods, and details of the Repurchase from those associates are detailed below, as
required under paragraphs 3.63 to 3.74 of the JSE Listings Requirements. The proceeds from
the Repurchase will be, inter alia, utilised by each associate towards settling the preference
share funding due to Pioneer Foods (via a wholly-owned subsidiary) and FirstRand Bank
Limited (acting through its Rand Merchant Bank division) as primary funders of the BEE
Transaction.
