*Total number of shares in issue as at the record date of the AGM was 146 346 264, of which
8 267 748 were treasury shares.

As announced on SENS on 28 July 2022, the Company recently completed a successful
capital raise in terms of its previous general authority to issue shares for cash, granted at its
2021 annual general meeting. The Afrimat board of directors (“the Board”) does not anticipate
raising additional capital in terms of a general authority to issue shares for cash in the
upcoming financial year. In light of this and taking into account shareholder feedback, the
Board decided to withdraw ordinary resolution number 14, relating to such authority, at the
AGM.
