CONFIRMATION OF ACHIEVEMENT OF SUSTAINABILITY PERFORMANCE TARGET 1B IN RESPECT OF AGRARIUS
AGRIA1 SUKUK
Sukuk holders are referred to the Issuer's Amended Applicable Pricing Supplement dated 7 November 2022 for AGRIA1
("APS") and the Sustainability-Linked Sukuk Framework 1 as updated on 26 January 2024 ("Framework 1") (available on
the Issuer's website at: https://www.27four.com/agrarius/investorcentre/) and the Sustainability Performance Targets
("SPT") and Performance Targets mentioned therein.
As per the SPT conditions outlined in Framework 1, the second Target Date where performance would be assessed
against the SPTs is required within 24 months post the deployment of the capital raised through the issuance of the
AGRA1 Sukuk ("Performance Target 1B").
In terms of Performance Target 1B, 45% of the portfolio (Rand value) was required to be deployed in qualifying
underlying transactions in the agriculture sector value chain and certified with an independent sustainability advisor.
As at 30 September 2024, being the second Target Date, Agrarius has exceeded Performance Target 1B, with 60% of the
portfolio having been deployed in qualifying transactions, as detailed below.

TOTAL 60%
1 From Feb 2024 the portfolio was funded through both listed (R900k) and unlisted notes (R102k) and, as such, the portfolio has
been weighted in proportion with the value of listed notes out of total notes.
Noteholders are referred to paragraph 4.2.10 of the APS – (Other terms and conditions relating to the AGRIA1 Notes)
and are advised that as the Issuer has met the SPT relevant to Performance Target 1B, to the satisfaction of the
independent sustainability advisor, IBIS ESG Consulting Africa (Pty) Ltd ("IBIS"), and accordingly there will be no
adjustment to the Margin for the first Sustainability Performance Target Observation Date.
IBIS' report on the SPT is available for download from the Issuer's website at: https://27four.com/ibis-agrarius-sls-annual-
verification/
The next Sustainability Performance Target Observation Date for Performance Target 1C will be 30 September 2025.
