VOLUNTARY ANNOUNCEMENT – INVESTMENT UPDATE

Sabcap wishes to advise shareholders as follows:

1. Sabcap’s holding in Masimong Group Holdings (Pty) Ltd has been reduced from 10% to 9%, resulting

   preference shares.

2. Subject to certain suspensive conditions, Sabcap’s interest in Sunspray Food Ingredients (Pty) Ltd
   (previously held through Famdeen Investments (Pty) Ltd) will reduce from 27,67% to 11,1%, which

   receipt by Sabcap of approximately R80,9m in February 2024, subject to top up adjustment
   provisions over three years.

3. Sabcap has acquired an indirect holding in Versofy (Pty) Ltd, through its 12,5% interest in a
