ACCEPTANCE OF CONDITIONAL SHARES IN TERMS OF THE WEBUYCARS CONDITIONAL SHARE
PLAN

Shareholders of WeBuyCars ("Shareholders") are referred to the announcement published on the Stock
Exchange News Service ("SENS") of the JSE Limited ("JSE"), on 13 February 2024 by Transaction Capital
Limited ("TC") regarding, inter alia, the pro rata distribution in specie of TC's shareholding in WeBuyCars to
TC shareholders (the "Unbundling"), as well as to the WeBuyCars Pre-listing Statement published by
WeBuyCars on SENS on 12 March 2024. Certain WeBuyCars executives and senior employees were
participants in the TC Conditional Share Plan ("TC CSP") and held unvested retention and performance
awards at the date of Unbundling of WeBuyCars from TC on 11 April 2024. To ensure that these executives
and senior employees are placed in a similar position, the TC CSP conditional rights were converted to
conditional rights under the WeBuyCars Conditional Share Plan ("WBC CSP").

In compliance with paragraphs 3.63 to 3.74 of the JSE Listings Requirements, the following information
regarding the conversion from the WeBuyCars component of the TC CSP ("WeBuyCars TC CSP") to the
WBC CSP, as well as the acceptance of additional conditional rights to WeBuyCars shares in terms of the
WBC CSP, by a director of the Company and a director of a major subsidiary is disclosed:
