Conditions Precedent to the Proposed Transaction

Shareholders are advised that the approval of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe for the Proposed
Transaction, being a condition precedent to the Proposed Transaction as contained in paragraph 5 of the
Circular, remains outstanding and that a further announcement will therefore be made in this regard in due
course.

Accordingly, the dates and times contained in the Circular, which relied on all Conditions Precedent having
been met by 21 December 2021, are no longer relevant, and revised dates will be announced once the
Company has confirmed that all Conditions Precedent have been met.

Renewal of cautionary announcement

Shareholders are referred to the cautionary announcement published on 8 November 2021 (“Cautionary
Announcement”) advising that one of African Sun Limited’s lessors had initiated a lease tender process
in respect of property known as The Kingdom at Victoria Falls, which is currently being leased by African
Sun Limited (“ASL”) (“Tender Process”).

Shareholders are advised that ASL continues to occupy the property and has signed an extension of the
current lease with the landlord to 28 February 2022 in order to facilitate the ongoing Tender Process, which
ASL has elected to participate in. The Tender Process closed on 30 November 2021, but the outcome of
the Tender Process is still unknown. Given the potential impact of the expired lease on ASL’s profitability,
ASL remains in a cautionary period and accordingly shareholders should similarly continue to exercise
caution in dealing in the Company’s securities until a further announcement regarding the Tender Process
is made.
