2.     enX shareholders are referred to page 5 of the circular for information on the action required to be taken by them.
3.     enX shareholders should note that as transactions in shares are settled in the electronic settlement system used by Strate, settlement
       of trades takes place three business days after such trades. Therefore, enX shareholders who acquire enX shares after close of trade
       on Monday, 18 March 2024 will not be eligible to vote at the general meeting.
      4.       No dematerialisation and rematerialisation of enX shares may take place between Tuesday, 19 March 2024 and Friday, 22 March

               to the commencement of the general meeting or prior to voting on any resolution to be proposed at the general meeting.
      6.       If the general meeting is adjourned or postponed, a form of proxy submitted for the initial general meeting will remain valid in
               respect of any adjournment or postponement of the general meeting, unless it is withdrawn.
      7.       If the general meeting is adjourned or postponed then forms of proxy that have not yet been submitted should be lodged with the

               handed to the chairperson of the adjourned or postponed general meeting at any time prior to the commencement of the adjourned
               or postponed general meeting or prior to voting on any resolution to be proposed at the adjourned or postponed general meeting.
      8.       If the transaction is not approved by such number of enX shareholders at the general meeting so that an enX shareholder may
               require enX to obtain court approval of the transaction as contemplated in section 115(3)(a) of the Companies Act, and if an enX
               shareholder in fact delivers such a request, the dates and times set out above will require amendment. enX shareholders will be
               notified separately of the applicable dates and times under this process.
      9.       If any enX shareholder who votes against the transaction exercises its rights in terms of section 115(3)(b) of the Companies Act
