SABZK Trading statement for the year ended 31 December 2024

SABZK is currently in the process of finalising its results for the year ended 31 December 2024
(FY 24) and provides this trading statement in accordance with paragraph 3.4(b)(i) of the JSE
Limited Listings Requirements (JSE Listings Requirements).

The JSE Listings Requirements require that issuers publish a trading statement as soon as they
are satisfied that a reasonable degree of certainty exists that the financial results for the period
to be reported upon next will differ by at least 20% from the financial results for the previous
corresponding period.

Accordingly, due to the fair value loss on the investment in Anheuser-Busch InBev for the year
ended 31 December 2024 of R1,3 billion from a gain of R900million in the year ended 31
December 2023 (FY 23), shareholders are advised that SABZK expects to report a decrease in
earnings per share (EPS)/headline earnings per share (HEPS) against FY 23 of greater than
100%.

In addition, based on the decrease in the Anheuser-Busch InBev share price during FY 24, being
R937.98 at 31 December 2024 and R1200.14 at 31 December 2023, shareholders are further
advised that SABZK expects to report a decrease in Net Asset Value per share (NAVPS) against
FY 23 results of between (59)% and (55)%.
