Notes:

Shareholders are advised that the non-binding advisory votes 1 and 2 (the
Remuneration Policy and the Implementation Report, respectively), and all the
Special resolutions did not receive the required 75% approval from Mpact's
shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the AGM.

Special resolution 2 which sought to renew Mpact's existing general authority to
provide financial assistance to its subsidiaries and other related and inter-
related entities in terms of sections 44 and 45 of the Companies Act did not
receive the required 75% approval. Since shareholders have again voted against
Special resolution 2, Mpact Limited currently has no standing authority to provide
financial assistance to subsidiaries in the Group. The Group's existing borrowing
facilities remain in place and are unaffected by the absence of the general
authority to provide financial assistance. Should additional funding be required,
Mpact Operations Proprietary Limited ("Mpact Operations"), or any other Mpact
subsidiary, remains able to raise additional loan funding without an Mpact Limited
guarantee.

Special resolution 3 regarding non-executive directors' remuneration did not
receive the required 75% approval. The non-executive Directors will continue to
serve on the Board of Directors of Mpact Operations, in which capacity they will
continue to attend to the governance of Mpact Operations and its subsidiaries. In
their capacity as non-executive Directors of Mpact Operations, they are
remunerated for services rendered to Mpact Operations. However, they do not receive
any remuneration in respect of their ongoing services to Mpact Limited.

The Board is committed to engaging with shareholders regarding these matters and
invites shareholders to engage with the Company in the following manner:

1.       Shareholders are invited to forward their questions on the Remuneration Policy
         and the Implementation Report, and any other matter, to the Group Company
         Secretary in writing to cosec@mpact.co.za by close of business on Friday, 14
         June 2024.

2.       The Board values the opportunity to engage with shareholders to understand
         and address their questions and will schedule a meeting with these
         shareholders at a suitable date and time.
