CHANGES TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS - RETIREMENT OF CHAIRMAN AND APPOINTMENT OF LEAD
INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR

In compliance with paragraph 3.59 of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, shareholders are advised
that Ms. Neo Dongwana has informed the Board of her intention to retire as a Non-Executive Director
and Chairperson of the Board at the end of her nine-year tenure on May 2021. Whilst Ms Dongwana
had an option to extend her tenure for a further three years, she believes that this is the right decision
in light of the shareholder vote against her remuneration at Barloworld’s AGM on 11 February 2021.

Ms Dongwana was appointed to the Barloworld Board in May 2012 and became Chairperson of the
Board in February 2020. She has also recently served as a member and chairman of the following
committees:
    -   Chairman - Nomination committee,
    -   Chairman- Strategy and investment committee
    -   Member of the remuneration committee,
    -   Member of the social, ethics and transformation committee in the past year.

The Board has also nominated Ms Neo Mokhesi as Lead Independent Director effective immediately.
Ms Mokhesi was appointed to the Barloworld Board on 1 February 2019. This nomination is in terms
of the Company’s nomination policy.

Neo Mokhesi said: “Neo has been a valuable member of the Board since May 2012. During that time
her contribution and leadership as a member of the board and the various committees have been
critical to the direction of the business. She has been instrumental in setting Barloworld’s vision,
guiding management to evolve the group into a global business with a diverse and inclusive
workforce.

On behalf of the board and Barloworld, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Neo for her
stewardship over the years.”

Ms Dongwana will not stand for re-election at the next AGM and will leave her role as a board member
and Chairperson when her term ends, or soon after the Board has appointed her replacement.

Barloworld will release a further announcement once the date of retirement of Ms Dongwana has
been determined.
