SECONDARY PLACEMENT OF VUKILE SHARES AND DEALING IN SECURITIES BY AN ASSOCIATE
OF A DIRECTOR OF THE COMPANY


Shareholders are referred to the SENS announcement dated 12 May 2020, in which shareholders were advised that
Vukile's black economic empowerment investor, Encha Properties Equity Investments Proprietary Limited ("Encha
Properties") had agreed to certain amendments to their loan and security arrangements with Investec Bank Limited
("Investec"), as well as the subsequent announcements referring shareholders to the disposal of Vukile shares by Encha
Properties in order to meet certain capital and interest commitments.

Encha Properties has informed Vukile that, following various discussions with their funders Investec, it had made the
decision to pay down the amount owing under the loan and security agreement with Investec and as such Encha
Properties launched a secondary placement on 10 July 2024 of 52,881,466 ordinary shares in Vukile ("the Placement
Shares"), representing Encha Properties' entire shareholding in Vukile and approximately 4.6% of the Company's
current shares outstanding ("the Placement").

The Placement Shares were placed at a price of R15.50 per share, representing a 0.8% discount to the pre-launch Vukile
30-day volume weighted average price as at market close on 10 July 2024. Investec acted as Sole Bookrunner on the
Placement.

Settlement of the Placement is expected to occur on 16 July 2024.

Following the Placement, Encha Properties will no longer be a shareholder in Vukile. Vukile would like to express its
gratitude to Encha Properties for being a remarkable partner during the past 11 years.

Properties, associate of Dr Sedise Moseneke, a non-executive director of Vukile:
