ODD-LOT OFFER PRICE AND FINALISATION ANNOUNCEMENT

1. Introduction and Odd-lot Offer Price

   Invicta Shareholders are referred to the circular distributed to Shareholders on Monday, 5 June 2023 relating
   to, inter alia, the Odd-lot Offer (“Circular”), which will result in the repurchase of the Odd-lot Holdings from the
   Odd-lot Holders by the Company at the Odd-lot Offer Price. Unless otherwise defined, the definitions and
   interpretations contained in the Circular apply, mutatis mutandis, to terms used in this announcement.

   Shareholders are further referred to the announcement of the results of General Meeting released on SENS
   on Thursday, 6 July 2023, advising Invicta Shareholders that the Odd-lot Offer resolutions were approved by
   the requisite majority Shareholders at the General Meeting.

   The Odd-lot Offer Price is equal to 2 982.98446 cents, being a 5% premium to the 30-day volume weighted
   average price of an Invicta Share at the close of business on Monday, 24 July 2023, being 2 840.93758 cents.

   Odd-lot Holders can elect to retain their Odd-lot Holdings or sell their Odd-lot Holdings at the Odd-lot
   Offer Price. Those Odd-lot Holders who do not make an election by 12:00 on Friday, 4 August 2023 will
   automatically be regarded as having accepted the Odd-lot Offer and chosen to dispose of their Odd-
   lot Holdings to Invicta at the Odd-lot Offer Price and to receive the Odd-lot Consideration.

2. Transaction costs for Odd-lot Holders

   Shareholders eligible to participate in the Odd-lot Offer will not bear any transaction costs in respect of the
   Odd-lot Offer.

   Securities transfer tax, if any, will be paid by Invicta at a rate of 0.25% calculated on the taxable amount as
   determined in section 5(1)(a) of the Securities Transfer Tax Act No. 25 of 2007.

3. Tax consequences

   As set out in the Circular, the Board has resolved that the Odd-lot Offer will be distributed as a return of capital
   (paid out of ‘contributed tax capital’ as defined in section 1 of the Income Tax Act). The Odd-lot Consideration
   will therefore not be regarded as a dividend for South African income tax purposes but as proceeds (either on
   revenue account or on capital account, depending on the intention with which the Shareholder acquired, held
   and disposed of the Shares) on the disposal of Invicta Shares. In terms of section 9C of the Income Tax Act,
   if the Shareholder held the Shares for at least 3 years, the proceeds on disposal will automatically be deemed
   to be of a capital nature.

   The Odd-lot Offer may be subject to tax in the relevant jurisdiction of the Odd-lot Holder arising from the
   disposal of the Odd-lot Holdings by the Odd-lot Holders who make an election to sell their Odd-lot Holdings to
   Invicta or who do not make an election or who do not return their Form of Election and Surrender (blue)
   timeously to the Transfer Secretaries.
   Shareholders are referred to Annexure 1 of the Circular, which contains a summary of the tax consequences
   for South African Odd-lot Holders who make an election to sell their Odd-lot Holdings to Invicta or who do not
   make an election.

   Shareholders should, however, seek their own tax and/or other professional advice regarding the taxation
   implications of the Odd-lot Offer.
