POSTING OF CIRCULAR TO SHAREHOLDERS


1. INTRODUCTION

   Shareholders are advised that as a result of the declaration of the Covid-19 pandemic as a national
   disaster in terms of the Disaster Management Act, 2002 and the subsequent national lockdown
   imposed thereafter which has negatively impacted the Group, the Board has deemed it prudent to
   embark on a proposed rights offer to raise approximately R1,200 million, which will improve the
   Company’s liquidity and strengthen its balance sheet (“the Proposed Rights Offer”).

   The proceeds of the Proposed Rights Offer will enable the Company to position itself for the
   resumption of full trading post the Covid-19 lockdown. Further details of the Proposed Rights Offer
   will be set out in the rights offer circular to be posted to shareholders during July 2020.

   Furthermore, the Board has proposed amending its Memorandum of Incorporation (“MOI”) to,
   among others, increase its authorised shares for purposes of the Proposed Rights Offer and to further
   align it with recent changes to the Companies Act, no. 71 of 2008 (“the Act”).

2. DISTRIBUTION OF CIRCULAR AND NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

   A circular providing shareholders with relevant information regarding the proposed amendments to
   the MOI and the Proposed Rights Offer has been distributed on Friday, 12 June 2020, and includes:
   - certain amendments to the MOI of the Company;
   - the authorisation to issue additional shares for the purpose of implementing the Proposed Rights
     Offer considering that the voting power of such shares, upon issue, may be equal to or exceed
     30% of the voting power of the shares currently in issue and in order to issue shares under the
     Proposed Rights Offer to shareholders contemplated in sections 41(1) and 41(3) of the Act;
   - the placing of the unissued shares under the control of the directors and the granting of authority
     to the directors to issue additional shares for the purpose of implementing the Proposed Rights
     Offer; and
   - the approval of the waiver of any mandatory offer (“the Circular”).
