Sentinel Finco - Disqualification of Auditor SENTINEL FINCO (RF) LIMITED (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Registration No. 2020/178948/06) Company Code: SNFI ("Sentinel Finco" or the "Issuer) Disqualification of Auditor In compliance with paragraph 6.15 of the JSE Limited ("JSE") Debt & Specialist Securities Listings Requirements, Sentinel Finco (RF) Limited ("the Issuer") wishes to advise the noteholders that the Issuer received an even-dated notification from Moore Stellenbosch Inc. at the Audit Committee meeting of the Issuer, stating that Moore Stellenbosch Inc. is no longer permitted by its regulator to perform the services required of the auditor of the Issuer, and therefore cannot continue as the duly appointed auditor of the Issuer. The services of Moore Stellenbosch, Inc to the Issuer are therefore terminated effective 14 February 2024. The regulatory disqualification relates to recent changes in the treatment of network firms by the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors ("IRBA"), which no longer regards Moore South Africa as a single firm. Moore Stellenbosch Inc, considered separately and independent of the Moore South Africa network, does not meet the regulatory requirements to conduct the audit of the Issuer. The Issuer wishes to thank the auditor for its services to this point. A further announcement will follow regarding the appointment of a new auditor by the Issuer. 14 February 2025 Debt Sponsor Absa Corporate and Investment Bank, a division of Absa Bank Limited Date: 14-02-2025 05:00:00 Produced by the JSE SENS Department.
