the repurchase price offered by Ibex for each Scheme Share held by Scheme Participants on the Scheme
Record Date, being R93.50 (9350.00000 cents) per Scheme Share and an amount equal to the preference
dividend, not declared, but that would have been calculated on a Scheme Share from 1 January 2024 up
to the Scheme Operative Date.
