APPOINTMENT TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS


In accordance with paragraph 6.39 of the Debt Listings Requirements, the board of directors of the
Company (“Board”), wishes to advise shareholders that in terms of the Board’s
forward-looking succession plan, Mr Johan Holtzhausen (“Johan”) has been appointed as an
independent non-executive director of the Company with effect from 1 March 2023.

Until the recent unbundling and delisting of PSG Group Limited from the JSE, Johan (52) served as an
executive director and a member of its executive committee, during which tenure he was closely
involved in the strategic management of investments, as well as the acquisitions, capital raisings and
disposals of the group. During his career of almost two and a half decades within the PSG group, he
also served in a non-executive capacity on the boards of numerous other companies. Johan is currently
the chairman of the board of directors of CA Sales Holdings Limited, a JSE listed company, which
operates in the fast-moving consumer goods sector across southern Africa.

Johan has more than 24 years of corporate finance and private equity experience and has been
involved in numerous listings, mergers and acquisitions, capital raisings, disposals, cross-border
transactions, large private equity and BEE transactions in South Africa, as well as abroad. He has
advised various companies on the JSE and TRP regulations, as well as on key corporate governance
issues. Johan is also a member of the JSE Issuer Services Advisory Committee.

Johan is an admitted attorney and a JSE approved equity and debt executive. He obtained his BIuris
(cum laude) and LLB degrees from the University of the Free State and a HDip Tax (dissertation on
transfer pricing) from the University of Johannesburg. During his earlier career at Edward Nathan
Sonnenbergs, he received a Ministerial appointment to adjudicate tax appeals at the Special Income
Tax Court.

Johan's skillset, experience and expertise, and his extensive and diverse professional network, are
expected to bring fresh thinking and perspectives to the Board’s deliberations. The Board welcomes
Johan and looks forward to his contributions to the future growth and development of KAP.

The appointment has been made in terms of KAP’s nomination policy and the KAP nomination
committee is satisfied that, following Johan’s appointment, the Board collectively has the necessary
skills, expertise and diversity to effectively fulfil its obligations.
