The proposed ordinary resolution relating to the re-election of Mr S Beesley as a director, as set out in the
notice of the AGM, was withdrawn prior to the commencement of the AGM.

The two non-binding advisory votes on the company’s Remuneration Policy and Implementation Report
received less than 75% support from shareholders. Accordingly, Tongaat Hulett is hereby requesting
shareholders who voted against the non-binding advisory votes or abstained from voting, to provide their
details to the Company Secretary at Johann.vanRooyen@tongaat.com by 24 February 2020, in order for the
Board to arrange engagement with the respective shareholders to ascertain the reasons for their votes.
