(“Sea Harvest” or “the Company”)


NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING OF SEA HARVEST SHAREHOLDERS


Shareholders are advised that a circular (“Circular”) will be distributed to shareholders today relating to an
amendment to the Company’s Memorandum of Incorporation (“MOI”) allowing for the appointment of
directors to the board of directors of Sea Harvest (“Board”) of over the age of 75 (“Amendment”). The MOI
currently only allows directors up to the age of 75 to be appointed to the Board.


The proposed amendment to the MOI arises from the recent conclusion (as disclosed to shareholders via
SENS on 14 May 2024) of the acquisition from Terrasan Beleggings Proprietary Limited (“Terrasan”) by:


• Sea Harvest Pelagic Fishing Proprietary Limited of 100% of all the issued ordinary shares in and loan
   claims against West Point Fishing Corporation Proprietary Limited, and 100% of all the issued ordinary
   shares in and loan claims against Saldanha Sales and Marketing Corporation Proprietary Limited; and
• Sea Harvest Aquaculture Proprietary Limited of 63.07% of the all the issued ordinary shares in and loan
   claims against Aqunion Proprietary Limited (together the “Transaction”).


Through the Transaction, Terrasan acquired 16.7% of Sea Harvest, and as a result, has requested
representation on the Board. Terrasan has nominated Professor Elias Links, a seasoned professional with
a distinguished career spanning over 50 years in academia, public service and the corporate sector to serve
on the Board.


Professor Links holds a B.Com degree from the University of the Western Cape (UWC); a Masters degree
from Stellenbosch University and a MA and PhD in Economics from the State University of New York.
Professor Links has served as the Head of the Department of Economics at UWC and as a Permanent
Representative to the World Bank and International Monetary Fund in Washington. He also represented the
Department of Finance and the Reserve Bank of South Africa in Zurich. Upon his return to South Africa, he
was appointed Chief Director for International Development Finance and subsequently served as
Ambassador and Chief Negotiator for the SA-EU Trade Agreement with the European Union. In the
corporate sector, Professor Links held an executive position at Santam and was later appointed Professor
      in International Finance at the University of Stellenbosch Business School. Professor Links is the current
      Chairman of the Audit and Risk Committee and a Director of Terrasan Group Limited.


      Furthermore, as Professor Elias Links is over the age of 75, an alteration to the Sea Harvest MOI is required
      to allow directors over the age of 75 to serve on the Board.


      Additional copies of the Circular, in its printed format, may be obtained from the registered office of the Company
      situated at 1st Floor, Block C, The Boulevard, Searle Street, Woodstock, Western Cape, 7925, during normal
      business hours from Thursday, 4 July 2024 to and including Monday, 5 August 2024. The Circular has also been
      made available on the Company’s website at www.seaharvestgroup.co.za.
