PEPKOR BOARD COMMITTEES


In accordance with paragraphs 3.59(a) and 6.39(a) of the JSE Limited (“JSE”) Listings

Company (“Board”) wishes to advise shareholders and noteholders that Ms Nunu Rosemary

Board of Pepkor and as a member of the human resources and remuneration committee,
with immediate effect.

Nunu holds an undergraduate degree from University of Swaziland and an MBA degree from
Morgan State University, Baltimore, Maryland. She has extensive experience in marketing,
strategy and advertising, having served in a number of business leadership roles, including
that of Facebook‘s Regional Director for Africa, Group CEO of Ogilvy & Mather South Africa

Transnet, Old Mutual, Telkom, Ogilvy Global and Ivanhoe Mines.

The appointment was made with the objectives of enhancing the skill set of the Board as well
as to strengthen the independence and diversity of the Board. The Company confirms that
the appointment was made in accordance with the Board nomination policy.
The Board welcomes Nunu and looks forward to her contribution.
The Board also deems it appropriate to reduce the number of directors serving on the
investment committee. Ms Hester Hickey (“Hester”) therefore steps down as a member of
the investment committee with immediate effect. Hester will continue to serve as Chair of the
