     capitalised terms used in this announcement have the meanings given to them in the FIA.

2.   Sanlam is pleased to announce that all Scheme Conditions Precedent have been fulfilled and

     effected by Assupol concerning the Assupol Ordinary Shares from 1 July 2023 until the Scheme
     Implementation Date and (ii) the escalation rate effective from 1 July 2023. Accordingly, the final
     purchase consideration is equal to ZAR6,571,173,737 as of 07 October 2024 (being the Scheme
