DISTRIBUTION OF CIRCULAR AND NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

Shareholders are referred to the announcements released on SENS on 15 July 2024 and 27 August
2024 ("the Announcements") wherein they were advised that Sasfin Holdings, and its wholly owned
subsidiary Sasfin Wealth, had entered into agreements with Unitas and Wipfin, in terms of which these
major shareholders of Sasfin would subscribe for shares in Sasfin Wealth for cash, thereby facilitating
an Offer by Sasfin Wealth to all Sasfin Holdings Shareholders at an Offer price of R30.00 per Share, to
enable the Company to apply for its Delisting from the stock exchange operated by the JSE.

The capitalised terms used but not defined in this announcement shall bear the same meaning given
to such terms in the Announcements.

The Transaction includes a related party transaction and an application for the termination of the
Company's listing and is therefore subject to Shareholder approval as well as the preparation, approval
and publication of a Circular to Shareholders.


Shareholders are advised that the Circular, containing details of the Transaction and containing a notice
of the General Meeting to approve the relevant resolutions pertaining thereto, was distributed today, 1
November 2024, to Shareholders registered as such on the record date, being Friday, 25 October 2024.

The circular is available on the Company's website: https://www.sasfin.com/investor-relations/
