RENEWAL OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT


Shareholders are referred to the announcement released by the Company on 31 January 2024, together
with the SENS announcements released on 10 April 2024 and 22 April 2024 detailing, inter alia:
- the fact that the board of directors of Ellies Holdings had resolved to place the Company into
    voluntary business rescue in terms of section 129 of the Companies Act, 71 of 2008 (“Companies
    Act”);
- the fact that the business rescue practitioner had concluded that there is no reasonable prospect of
    Ellies Holdings being rescued, and that therefore, in accordance with section 141(2)(a)(ii) of the
    Companies Act application would be made to the court for an order discontinuing the business
    rescue proceedings and placing Ellies Holdings into liquidation (the “court application”); and
- the application to the JSE for the voluntary suspension of trading of Ellies Holdings shares in terms
    of paragraph 1.10 of the JSE Listings Requirements, which request was approved by the JSE.

Shareholders are further referred to the previous cautionary announcement and renewal thereof, the
last of which was released on 13 March 2024. The court application process is still underway, and
shareholders are therefore advised to continue to exercise caution in relation to the Company’s shares,
which remain suspended on the JSE, until such time as a further announcement is made.

This announcement relates only to Ellies Holdings Limited, the listed holding company of the Ellies
group of companies.

Notice to Affected Persons of Ellies Electronics (Pty) Limited (“Ellies Electronics”)

The operating entity Ellies Electronics remains in business rescue and is continuing to trade. In this
regard it is continuing to acquire services and goods from suppliers for installation or sale to its
