1. Report on proceedings of the General Meeting

Words and expressions used in this announcement shall, unless expressly defined herein or indicated otherwise by the context, bear the meanings
given to them in Circular (as defined below).

Further to the circular issued to Pick n Pay shareholders ("Shareholders") on or about Tuesday, 28 May 2024 ("Circular") which related to
shareholder resolutions in connection with the proposed Rights Offer by Pick n Pay, among others:

•   a conversion of the Ordinary Shares of the Company from par value to no par value Ordinary Shares;
•   an increase in the authorised Ordinary Shares and B Shares of the Company, through the creation of new authorised Ordinary Shares and B
    Shares;
•   amendments to the MOI of the Company to effect the changes sought to the Share capital;
•   the issue of Shares with voting power exceeding 30% of the voting power of the Shares currently in issue as part of the Rights Offer;
•   amendments to the terms and conditions attached to the B Shares as set out in the MOI, which will permit B Shareholders to approve, by
    special resolution, a lower B Share Issue Ratio (as defined in the MOI), which will facilitate a reduction in the voting rights exercisable by B
    Shareholders; and
•   amendments to the MOI to better align the director rotation provisions in the MOI with the Company's Governance Charter,

2. Further cautionary announcement
Shareholders are referred to the Company's cautionary announcements released on SENS on 22 February 2024 and renewed on 27 March 2024
and 13 May 2024, wherein the Group advised shareholders that the board of directors ("the Board") had approved a two-step recapitalisation
plan ("the Recapitalisation Plan"). Shareholders are reminded that the Recapitalisation Plan comprises the proposed renounceable Rights Offer
to existing shareholders of the Company of up to R4.0 billion, expected to take place in mid-2024 ("Rights Offer"), followed by a proposed share
offering and subsequent listing of the Group's Boxer business on the Main Board of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange ("IPO") expected to take
place towards the end of 2024. Shareholders are advised to continue to exercise caution when dealing in the Company's securities until the terms
and conditions of the Rights Offer have been finalised and shared with Shareholders, the announcement of which is expected by the middle of
July 2024.

The Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained in this announcement and confirm
that, to the best of their knowledge and belief, there are no facts which have been omitted which would make any statement in this announcement
false or misleading and that all reasonable enquiries to ascertain such facts have been made.
