REPORT ON PROCEEDINGS AT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND CHANGE TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
At the 2023 annual general meeting (“AGM”) of the shareholders of Remgro held on Monday, 4 December 2023
all the ordinary and special resolutions proposed were approved by the requisite majority of votes.
Ordinary Resolution Number 8, with regards to the appointment of director Thabi Leoka, was withdrawn at
the AGM and therefore not voted on, as the director has advised the Board that she is no longer available
to serve as an independent non-executive director of the Company. With effect from today, the director is
no longer a director of the Company.

Shareholders are advised that Remgro wishes to engage its shareholders on the Company’s Remuneration
Policy and Remuneration Implementation Report.
Remgro’s 2023 Remuneration Policy and Remuneration Implementation Report were voted against by more than
25% of the votes exercised by Remgro’s ordinary shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at
the AGM. It should be noted, however, that the non-binding advisory resolutions on the endorsement of the
Company’s Remuneration Policy and Implementation Report were approved by the requisite majority of the
combined votes exercised by Remgro’s ordinary and “B” ordinary shareholders present in person or
represented by proxy at the AGM (83.11% and 84.05% respectively).
To better understand the reasons why more than 25% of the ordinary shareholders voted against the non-
binding advisory endorsement relating to the Company’s Remuneration Policy and Implementation Report, and
to enable the Remuneration and Nomination Committee to consider these concerns on behalf of the Board of
the Company, an invitation is being extended to such dissenting shareholders to engage with Remgro, in
line with the recommendations of the King IV Report on Corporate Governance for South Africa, 2016 and
paragraph 3.84(j)of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements.
Dissenting shareholders are invited to engage with Remgro as follows:
• shareholders are invited to attend virtual engagement sessions, to be hosted via a Teams video
facility;
• shareholders wishing to participate in these sessions are requested to please register their
interest by emailing the Company Secretary, ddreyer@remgro.com, by no later than close of business
on Monday, 11 December 2023. Once registered, shareholders will be emailed a meeting request for
the Teams session; and
• any concerns, questions or recommendations on the Remuneration Policy and Remuneration
Implementation Report should be submitted to the Company Secretary by email to ddreyer@remgro.com,
by close of business on Monday, 11 December 2023.
