The Company may repurchase a further 65 841 119 shares representing 16,97% of the AGM issued share capital.

To date, 8 339 309 repurchased shares were delisted and cancelled on 7 July 2022, 25 July 2022, 2 September 2022,
6 September 2022, 30 September 2022, 3 November 2022 and 21 December 2022. An application to delist the balance of
the repurchased shares (being 3 433 671 as at 28 March 2023) has been submitted to the JSE. 1 796 955 shares were
repurchased during the Company’s closed period which commenced on 1 January 2023 and ended on 23 March 2023,
following the publication of the Company’s provisional summarised consolidated financial statements for the year ended
31 December 2022, in terms of a repurchase programme that was implemented by Resilient prior to the commencement
of the closed period. No Repurchased Shares will be held as treasury shares. As announced on 30 June 2022, Resilient
acquired and delisted 9 000 000 shares from its wholly-owned subsidiary, Resilient Properties Limited, in terms of an
intragroup acquisition, following which, Resilient holds 30 156 041 shares in treasury.

The board of directors of Resilient has considered the effect of the Repurchase and is of the opinion that, for a period of
12 months following the date of this announcement:

    -   the Company and the Group will be able, in the ordinary course of business, to pay its debts;
    -   the assets of the Company and the Group will be in excess of the liabilities of the Company and the Group;
    -   the Company and the Group’s ordinary share capital and reserves will be adequate for ordinary business purposes;
    -   the Company and the Group will have adequate working capital for ordinary business purposes; and
    -   the Company and the Group have passed the solvency and liquidity test and since the test was performed there
        have been no material changes to the financial position of the Company and the Group.

The Repurchase was funded from the Group’s available cash resources. Cash balances decreased by R606 149 782,55 as
a result of the Repurchase. The reduced number of shares in issue after the cancellation of the Repurchased Shares will
result in a lower number of shares used to calculate distribution per share in future reporting periods.
