CHANGES TO THE COMPOSITION OF THE SANTAM BOARD AND BOARD COMMITTEES

Notice is hereby given to shareholders and noteholders that the Board of directors (the “Board”) of
Santam, is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Richard John Wainright (“Richard”) as an
additional Independent Non-Executive Director, with effect from 20 May 2025.

This appointment has been made in terms of paragraphs 3.59 and 6.42 of the Listings Requirements
and the Debt and Specialist Securities Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, after obtaining the
requisite regulatory approval.

Shareholders and noteholders are further advised that Richard is an esteemed and seasoned executive
who previously fulfilled various senior positions at Investec Bank Limited (“Investec”), before he
assumed the role as the Chief Executive Officer of Investec from 2016 until 2024. He has been a
qualified chartered accountant by profession since 1988 and holds a B.Com (Honours) degree in
Financial Management, which he obtained from the University of Cape Town in 1984.

Richard’s appointment to the Santam Board was primarily made to enhance the overall skill set of the
Board and to further strengthen the Board’s collective expertise and capability. Furthermore, given
Richard’s extensive investment banking, global and capital markets, risk, financial and audit expertise,
combined with his years of experience in the financial services industry, he was also appointed to
Santam’s Audit Committee and the Risk Committee with effect from 20 May 2025. The Board, therefore,
looks forward to Richard’s contribution including the value that he will be adding to the respective Board
Committees.

Notably to also highlight, is that the Board and Board Committees remain compliant with the applicable
statutory requirements and best practice membership criteria. The Board herewith also confirms that it
considered and is satisfied with the competence, qualifications and experience of the aforesaid
appointment that had been made.
