CHANGES TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND TO BOARD COMMITTEES AND APPOINTMENT
OF HIL INVESTCO CEO

In compliance with paragraph 3.59 of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, shareholders are advised
of the following changes to the Company’s board of directors (“Board”):

    •   Mr Gregoire Lartigue (“Greg”) has informed the Board of his intention to resign from his role as
        executive director and HiL Investco Chief Executive Officer (“HiL InvestCo CEO”) with effect
        from 15 December 2022; and
    •   Ms Amanda Chorn (“Amanda”) has also informed the Board of her intention to resign from her
        role as independent non-executive director and member of the Audit and Risk Committee with
        effect from 15 December 2022.

HiL is in the process of refining its operating model for Homechoice (Retail based in South Africa) and
Weaver Fintech (Finchoice based in Mauritius & South Africa and PayJustNow based in South Africa).
Greg indicated to the Board some time ago that he was ready to step down as HiL InvestCo CEO and
that the current transitioning of the Group presents an opportune time to effect the change.

The Nominations Committee has considered the impact of the resignations on the Board and its
committees and, in accordance with the Board’s succession planning, the following changes were
proposed and accepted by the Board, effective 15 December 2022:

    •   The appointment of Mr Sean Wibberley (“Sean”) as executive director of the Board and to the
        role of HiL InvestCo CEO, to replace Greg, whilst retaining his role as Chief Executive Officer
        of the Finchoice division of the Group;
    •   The appointment of Mr Roderick Phillips (“Rod”) as an independent non-executive director, to
        replace Amanda. Rod will maintain his role as Chair of the Weaver Fintech subsidiary;
    •   The amendment of the composition of the Audit and Risk Committee, Social and Ethics
        Committee and Remuneration and Nominations Committee as follows:
             o Ms Marlisa Harris will remain an independent non-executive director but will step down
                 from her roles as Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee and Chair of the Remuneration
                 and Nominations Committee, whilst remaining a member of both committees;
             o Mr Pierre Joubert, lead independent non-executive director, will be appointed as Chair
                 of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee;
             o Rod will be appointed as Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee. Rod will also be
                 appointed as a member of the Social and Ethics Committee, replacing Ms Shirley Maltz
                 who was acting in an interim capacity; and
             o Mr Paul Burnett will step down as a member of the Social and Ethics Committee and
                 Sean will be appointed as a member replacing Paul.

The Board extends its gratitude to Greg and Amanda for their leadership, support and guidance
provided to the business and the executive team over the years, especially during Covid. The Board
welcomes Sean and Rod and wishes them all the best in their new roles and looks forward to their
contribution to a prosperous future for the Group.
