In terms of the shareholder approval, all seven Non-Executive Directors, being Nhlanhla Nene,
Ontiretse Senosi, Andrew Mifflin, An Chee Sin, Liu Junchao, Khomotso Mosehla, and He Zhen have

capital funding for the Makhado hard coking coal project has been secured.

The award of 12,000,000 options over Ordinary Share in terms of Godfrey Gomwe’s letter of
appointment as the Company’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, was subsequently
approved by shareholders at the AGM. As detailed in the Notice of Meeting for the AGM, the options
vest in three equal tranches of 4,000,000 options each, exercisable for nil consideration, provided that
Mr Gomwe is still employed, and the 30-day VWAP of per Ordinary Share on the JSE meets the
required condition for each relevant tranche on 30 June 2023, 30 June 2024 and 30 June 2025 (being
ZAR1.89, ZAR3.22 and ZAR4.55, respectively). The options will expire on 30 November 2027.
