ACCEPTANCE AND CONVERSION OF AWARDS UNDER KAAP AGRI’S LONG-TERM
INCENTIVE PLAN


Shareholders are advised that the Company’s remuneration committee has approved the
conversion of Kaap Agri’s existing management share incentive scheme to a non-dilutionary
equity-settled long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”), in order to better align participants’ interests
with those of shareholders and to retain key management. The Kaap Agri 2022 remuneration
report, which is expected to be distributed to shareholders during December 2022, will provide
more detail on the operation of the LTIP.

In compliance with paragraphs 3.63 to 3.74 of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, the
following information regarding the deemed acceptance of awards granted under the LTIP is
disclosed:
