 POSTPONEMENT OF GENERAL MEETING


Shareholders are referred to the cautionary announcement released on SENS on 4 April 2023 and to the
subsequent renewals thereof dated 18 May 2023, 30 June 2023 and 15 August 2023 (and using the terms
defined therein unless otherwise specified) regarding the Company’s engagement with the JSE in respect
of the implementation of certain terms of the Settlement Agreement with the Public Investment
Corporation SOC Limited (“PIC”) pertaining to the Further Repurchase and proposed amendments to the
MOI.

Shareholders are further referred to the announcement released on SENS on 28 July 2023 wherein, inter
alia, the Circular setting out the details of the Initial Specific Repurchase and incorporating, inter alia, the
Fairness Opinion and the Notice of General Meeting were distributed to shareholders of the Company.

In terms of Listings Requirement 5.69(h), a company may not repurchase securities during a prohibited
period. A prohibited period includes (i) any period when an issuer is trading under a cautionary
announcement and (ii) the date from the financial year end up to the date of earliest publication of the
preliminary report, abridged report or provisional report.

As announced on 15 August 2023, shareholders of the Company were advised to continue to exercise
caution when dealing in the Company’s securities, as the finalisation of the terms and extension of the
Settlement Agreement had not been finally agreed between AYO, the PIC and the Government
Employees Pension Fund. Given the aforementioned, the Company will not be able to hold the General
Meeting on Monday, 28 August 2023, as scheduled. The Company is not able to obtain dispensation on
the JSE Listings Requirement to hold the General Meeting during the prohibited period.

Shareholders of the Company are further informed that the Company is about to enter a further closed
period, following its financial year end (as detailed above), such financial year end being 31 August 2023,
and as such, the Company is unable to convene a general meeting to approve the Initial Specific
Repurchase during this period.

Accordingly, the Board hereby postpones the General Meeting until further notice. Shareholders will be
informed in due course when the General Meeting will be re-convened following the closed period. Such
postponed General Meeting will be called in terms of the Companies Act, the MOI and the Listings
Requirements and will contain any supplementary information which may be required, consequent upon
this postponement.

The Board accepts responsibility for the information contained in this announcement. To the best of the
Board’s knowledge and belief, the information contained herein is true and this announcement does not
omit anything likely to affect the importance of such information.
