UPDATE ON THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE REDEFINE EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE
SCHEME AND AMENDMENT OF SPECIAL RESOLUTION NUMBER 1 PROPOSED FOR ADOPTION
AT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING



Update on the proposed amendments to the Redefine Executive Incentive Scheme

Shareholders are referred to the information set out in annexure 1 to the notice of annual general meeting
(“AGM”) relating to the proposed amendments to the Redefine Executive Incentive Scheme (“Incentive
Scheme”), including a share purchase scheme (“Purchase Scheme”) that was adopted in 2013.

Shareholders are advised that Redefine has received an advanced tax ruling from SARS (“SARS
Ruling”) in respect of the cancellation and unwind of the Purchase Scheme in its entirety. The SARS
Ruling confirms that the amount of the outstanding capital in respect scheme debt waived by Redefine
will be exempt from income tax in the hands of the participants in terms of section 10(1)(nE) of the
Income Tax Act 58 of 1962 and shall therefore not give rise to any employees’ tax withholding obligation
for Redefine. The SARS Ruling further confirmed that the amount of outstanding capital waived by
Redefine will reduce the base cost of the scheme shares for each participant. The effect of the base cost
reduction is that it may result in a capital gains tax liability for certain of the participants following the
unwind and cancellation of the Purchase Scheme (which remains subject to shareholder approval at the
upcoming AGM). Should the proposed amendments be implemented, each participant will be personally
liable to settle any capital gains tax liability which may arise.

Amendment of special resolution number 1 proposed for adoption at the AGM

Shareholders are referred to Redefine’s notice of AGM dispatched to shareholders on Thursday,
15 December 2022 and in particular to special resolution number 1 proposing the remuneration of the
non-executive directors.
