Update on Black Economic Empowerment Transaction
We are pleased to announce that Eyesizwe (RF) Proprietary Limited ("Eyesizwe") shareholders have
signed a separate waiver and undertaking, in favour of, and enforceable by Eyesizwe, to maintain the
current 30.81% shareholding in Exxaro until 2027. In terms of the waivers and undertakings, Eyesizwe
shareholders waived their options to dispose of any of the locked-in shares or make any request which
will result in Eyesizwe having to dispose of the locked-in shares, in the previously stated agreed
tranches, until 2027. This is a significant milestone which ensures that Exxaro retains its empowerment
level and status as one of South Africa's largest and foremost black-empowered and diversified mining
companies.
