                 DEALINGS IN SECURITIES BY EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS

In compliance with paragraphs 3.63 to 3.66 of the JSE Listings Requirements, the following
information is disclosed in respect of ordinary share dealings by the executive directors.

In October 2015, the Stor-Age Share Purchase and Option Scheme (the “Scheme”) was
approved and adopted. The purpose of the Scheme was to create ownership opportunities
for the executive directors and selected employees whereby they were offered the opportunity
to acquire Stor-Age shares (the “Scheme Shares”) by way of an interest-bearing loan.
Dividends received on the Scheme Shares were applied against the interest payable on the
loan. The maximum period for the repayment of the loans was ten years from the date of
issue. The Scheme was superseded by a Conditional Share Plan adopted by shareholders
in February 2019.

The executive directors have sought an orderly exit from the Scheme by disposing of Scheme
Shares from time-to-time to settle their loan obligations owing to the Company. For various
reasons, certain shareholders of the Company have expressed a preference for the Scheme
to be closed in its entirety and the loan obligations settled in full. In line with this, an
institutional shareholder of the Company made an offer to acquire shares held by the
executive directors which would achieve this objective.

Of the total shares sold, 6 451 624 related to Scheme Shares. The proceeds from the sale
are to be used to settle the outstanding loan obligations owing to Stor-Age in terms of the
Scheme. Following the sale, the executive directors will henceforth no longer hold any
Scheme Shares.
