Notes:

Shareholders are advised that the Non-binding advisory votes 1 and
2 (the remuneration policy and the remuneration implementation
report, respectively), and the three special resolutions did not
receive the required 75% approval from Mpact's shareholders present
in person or represented by proxy at the AGM.

The special resolutions which did not pass will not materially affect
the Company at this time. The general authority to provide financial
assistance to subsidiaries and other related and inter-related
entities in terms of sections 44 and 45 of the Companies Act was
granted to the Company at its previous AGM held on 3 June 2021 and
remains valid for two years after its adoption. The Company will
continue to rely on such authority until 3 June 2023 and will
therefore be able to continue with its normal day-to-day business
and financing operations.

Special resolution 3 regarding non-executive directors’ remuneration
did not receive the required 75% approval. The non-executive
directors of the Company have confirmed that, at this stage, they
will continue to serve on the Board without being remunerated while
the requisite shareholder consultations are conducted.

The Board is committed to engaging with shareholders regarding these
matters and invites shareholders to engage with the Company in the
following manner:

1.   Shareholders are invited to forward their questions on the
     remuneration policy and the remuneration implementation report
     to the Group Company Secretary in writing to cosec@mpact.co.za
     by close of business on Monday, 13 June 2022.

2.   We value the opportunity to engage with shareholders to
     understand and address their questions and will schedule a
     meeting with these shareholders at a suitable date and time.
