FINALISATION ANNOUNCEMENT IN RELATION TO THE ODD-LOT OFFER


 1. Finalisation information

    Unless otherwise defined, the definitions and interpretations contained in the Circular issued by Super Group on
    Tuesday, 1 November 2022 (“Circular”) apply, mutatis mutandis, to terms used in this announcement.

    Further to the results of the General Meeting of Super Group Shareholders announced on SENS on Tuesday, 29
    November 2022, Super Group Shareholders are advised that all conditions precedent to the Odd-lot Offer have now
    been fulfilled and that the Odd-lot Offer is accordingly unconditional, and Super Group will proceed with implementing
    the Odd-lot Offer.

 2. Offer price and tax consequences

    The Offer Price per Super Group Share in respect of the Odd-lot Offer is R28.80636 (‘Offer Price’) and has been
    calculated on the 10-day volume weighted average price of a Super Group ordinary share on the JSE at the close of
    business on Friday, 2 December 2022, being R26.1876 plus a 10% premium.

    If you wish to retain your Super Group Shares you must specifically make an election to do so. Those Odd-
    lot Holders who do not make an election will automatically be regarded as having accepted the Odd-lot Offer
    and chosen to dispose of their Super Group Shares to Super Group and receive the Cash Consideration.

    As set out in the Circular, the Super Group board has resolved that the Odd-lot Offer will be distributed as a return of
    capital (paid out of ‘contributed tax capital’ as defined in section 1 of the South African Income Tax Act). The Cash
    Consideration will therefore not be regarded as a dividend for South African income tax purposes.

    The Odd-lot Offer may be subject to tax in the relevant jurisdiction of the Odd-lot Holder arising from the disposal of
    the Odd-lot Holdings by the Odd-lot Holders who make an election to sell their Odd-lot Holdings to Super Group or
    who do not make an election. Annexure 1 to the Circular contains a summary of the tax consequences for Odd-lot
    Holders who make an election to sell their Odd-lot Holdings to Super Group or who do not make an election.
    Shareholders should, however, seek their own tax advice.
