CHANGES TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Shareholders are referred to the announcement released on SENS on
19 January 2023, in which it was advised that Ms Ingiphile Pamela Mogotlane resigned
as a non-executive director from the board of directors of the Company (“Board”), as
a member of the Company’s audit and risk committee (“Audit and Risk Committee”)
and as the chairperson of the Company’s social, ethics and transformation committee
(“Social and Ethics Committee”), following the end of her tenure as a representative
of a material shareholder of Insimbi.
1.2. Following Ms Mogotlane’s resignation, the remuneration and nominations committee
of the Company (“Nominations Committee”) evaluated and considered the suitability
of the composition and size of the Board. The Nominations Committee concluded and
was satisfied that, given the combined knowledge, skills and expertise of the
management teams and the directors of the Company and its operating subsidiaries

will be more suited to the Group and will be able to fulfil its obligations and discharge
its governance responsibilities effectively and efficiently.
1.3. To uphold the good corporate governance practices of the Group and to maintain the
balanced composition and level of independence of the Board, in compliance with the
applicable corporate governance requirements and recommendations, the
