directors (the “Independent Board”) has been constituted for the purpose of evaluating the terms
of the Repurchase. The Independent Board comprises Rodney Squire-Howe, Raymond Selwyn Schur
and Mark Wagenheim.
As the Repurchase is in respect of more than 5% of Ingenuity’s Shares in issue, an independent
expert’s opinion is required in terms of section 114 of the Companies Act. The Independent Board
has appointed BDO Corporate Finance Proprietary Limited (the “Independent Expert”) to provide
appropriate external advice in the form of an independent report as prescribed by the Companies
Act in relation to the Repurchase (the “Independent Expert Report”). The Independent Expert
Report, together with the views of the Independent Board, will be detailed in a circular to
