Change in auditors

prescribing that auditors of public interest entities in South Africa must
comply with mandatory audit firm rotation (“MAFR”), whereby audit firms shall
not serve as the appointed auditor of a public interest entity for more than
10 consecutive years, with effect from 1 April 2023.

The Board of MMI, together with its Audit Committee, has resolved to early
adopt MAFR. As a consequence, PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. will rotate off the
Company’s audit on conclusion of its external audit responsibilities for the
year ended 30 June 2019, expected to be at the conclusion of the Company’s
annual general meeting to be held on 26 November 2019.

Shareholders will be informed of the new firm of external auditors once all
regulatory approvals have been obtained. The change of external audit firm
will be tabled for approval by the Company’s shareholders at the Company’s
next annual general meeting.
