In terms of paragraphs 3.59 and 6.39 of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements and Debt Listings
Requirements, shareholders and noteholders are advised that Mr Herman Bosman has indicated his intention
to retire as a non-executive director of the Company and member of the committees on which he serves, with
effect from the conclusion of the Company’s upcoming AGM on 1 December 2022. This follows the unbundling
by Rand Merchant Investment Holdings Limited of its shareholding in Discovery that occurred earlier in the
year.

Mr Bosman has served as a non-executive director of the Company since 2014 and has served as the former
chairperson and member of the Risk and Compliance Committee and as a member of the Remuneration
Committee and the Nominations Committee. Mr Bosman will also be retiring as a non-executive director of
Discovery Life Limited, Discovery Health (Pty) Ltd and Discovery Vitality (Pty) Ltd.

Discovery wishes to thank Mr Bosman for his invaluable contribution to the Group over many years and for his
guidance and oversight during the substantial strategic evolution of the Discovery Group. We wish him all the
very best in his future endeavours.
