2. The Specific Repurchase Authority^


2.1 Introduction and rationale

   The Company has in place a long-term incentive plan known as the FSP, and in terms of the FSP,
   Forfeitable Shares are from time to time awarded to Participants on the basis that the relevant
   Forfeitable Shares (being a combination of Retention Shares, Bonus Shares and Performance
   Shares) are released to them once they have Vested. Upon such Vesting, Participants are able to
   deal freely with the Forfeitable Shares, and may, for example, sell them on the JSE in order to raise
   funds to pay any taxes in respect of which they have become liable as a result of such Vesting.

   The Company wishes to have at its disposal an alternative mechanism to facilitate the sale of
   Vested Forfeitable Shares by those Participants who may from time to time wish to dispose of their
   Vested Forfeitable Shares and is of the view that this could be achieved by the Company or any one
   of more of its major subsidiaries repurchasing such Vested Forfeitable Shares.

2.2 Specific Repurchase Authority
   A special resolution regarding the Specific Repurchase Authority has been incorporated into the
   notice of AGM in terms of which it has been proposed that the Company either itself or through
   any one or more of its wholly owned subsidiaries be given the specific authority to repurchase,
   by way of a Specific Repurchase, Vested Forfeitable Shares from Participants wishing to dispose
   of their Vested Forfeitable Shares at the Specific Repurchase Price, on the basis that such
   authority would apply in respect of Forfeitable Shares due to vest on or about November 2025
   and March 2026 and will expire at the conclusion of the Specific Repurchase, which period will
   be calculated with reference to the Repurchase Period.
   The Specific Repurchase by the Company through itself or through any one or more of its wholly
   owned subsidiaries in terms of the Specific Repurchase Authority will be subject to the
   following:
   2.2.1 the aggregate number of Forfeitable Shares repurchased will not exceed a maximum of
          5 177 987 Forfeitable Shares, being the total number of Forfeitable Shares due to Vest in
          November 2025 and March 2026. Should the Company's issued Share Capital remain
          unchanged, the Specific Repurchase would represent a repurchase of 1.44% of the
          Company's issued Share Capital.
   2.2.2 the Company through itself or any one or more of its wholly owned subsidiaries will
         repurchase the Forfeitable Shares at the Specific Repurchase Price, being the volume
         weighted average price of the Shares traded on the JSE over the 30 Business Days prior
         to the date of the Vesting (and not at a premium) of the Forfeitable Shares as agreed in
         writing between any one or more of the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries and the
         relevant Participant.
   2.2.3 Subsequent to the Specific Repurchase, the Forfeitable Shares repurchased pursuant to
         the Specific Repurchase will be held as treasury shares by any one or more of the
         Company's wholly owned subsidiaries and would be subsequently issued by the FSP for
         settlement of new awards made by the FSP.
   2.2.4 In terms of paragraph 5.69(b) of the JSE Listings Requirements, Participants and their
         associates will be excluded from voting their shares on the special resolution required to
         authorise the Specific Repurchase Authority.


2.3 RELATED PARTIES CONSIDERATIONS

In terms of paragraph 10.1 of the JSE Listings Requirements, directors of the Company who are
Participants would be classified as related parties. Set out below are the directors of the Company and
its wholly owned subsidiaries who are also Participants and whose Vested Forfeitable Shares may be
repurchased in terms of the Specific Repurchase Authority. The directors' Forfeitable Shares listed
below have been included in the calculation of the maximum number of Forfeitable Shares that may
be repurchased in terms of the Specific Repurchase.

Directors Name*                                     Forfeitable                            Forfeitable
                                    Shares awarded and Vesting                   Shares awarded and
                                             in November 2025                   Vesting in March 2026

Gerrit Nortje#                                            148 156                              116 246

* In relation to related parties, only executive directors participate in the FSP
+ Executive Directors of the Company and each of its wholly owned subsidiaries
#
  Executive Directors of the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries

Notwithstanding that the Specific Repurchase may from time to time be from related parties as
defined in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements, the Specific Repurchase Price, will not be at a
premium to the volume weighted average price of the Shares traded on the JSE over 30 Business Days
prior to the date of the Vesting of a particular tranche of Forfeitable Shares and as agreed in writing
between any one or more of the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries and the relevant related party
who is a Participant. As such, a fairness opinion will not be required in terms of paragraph 5.69(e) of
the JSE Listings Requirements.


2.4 Impact of the Specific Repurchase on Financial Information

2.4.1 The exact Specific Repurchase Price cannot at this stage be determined as the value of the
      Company's Shares in 2025 is unknown. However, using an indicative value of R7.00 (seven
      Rand) per Share, the maximum Repurchase Price in respect of the Specific Repurchase
      would be approximately R36 245 909 (thirty six million two hundred and forty-five thousand
      nine hundred and nine Rand).
2.4.2 The Company's cash balances in the 2025 and 2026 financial year will decrease by the
      aggregate Specific Repurchase Price as a result of the Specific Repurchase. The repurchased
      Forfeitable Shares will continue to be held as treasury shares, and thus there will be no
      change to the financial information. To the extent that any of the Forfeitable Shares
      repurchased by way of the Specific Repurchase are repurchased by the Company and
      cancelled, the Company's share capital and share premium will reduce by a corresponding
      amount.

   Repurchase Circular incorporated thereto.
