Notes and summary of rights of a shareholder to be represented by proxy in terms of section 58 of the Companies Act, 71 of 2008 (as amended) (Companies Act):

  1. Shareholders who have not dematerialised their shares or who have dematerialised their shares with 'own name' registration are entitled to appoint a proxy or proxies, for which purpose this form of proxy is provided. Shareholders with 'own name' registration are shareholders who elected not to participate in the Issuer-Sponsored Nominee Programme and who appointed Computershare Investor Services Proprietary Limited as their CSDP with the express instruction that their uncertificated shares are to be registered in the electronic sub-register of shareholders in their own names.
  2. A registered shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the AGM is entitled to appoint one or more individuals (who need not be a shareholder of the
    Company) as a proxy, to participate, speak and to vote in his/her place at the AGM. The person whose name appears first on the form of proxy, and who registers to participate and duly participates in the AGM, will be entitled to act as proxy to the exclusion of those whose names follow.
  3. On a poll, every shareholder of the Company who participates in the AGM (in person or by proxy) shall have one vote for every ordinary share held in the Company and one vote for every B share held in the Company.
  4. A shareholder may insert the name of a proxy, or the names of two alternative proxies, of the shareholder's choice in the space/s provided overleaf, with or without deleting 'the chairperson of the AGM', but any such deletion must be initialled by the shareholder. Should the space/s for the name/s of the proxy/ies be left blank, then the proxy will be exercised by the chairperson of the AGM.
  5. A proxy appointment must be in writing, dated and signed by the shareholder appointing the proxy and, subject to the rights of a shareholder to revoke such appointment, remains valid only until the end of the AGM.
  6. The completion of any blank spaces overleaf need not be initialled. Any alterations or corrections to this form of proxy must be initialled by the signatory/ies.
  7. A shareholder's voting instructions to the proxy must be indicated by the insertion of an 'X', or the relevant number of votes which that shareholder wishes to exercise, in the appropriate spaces provided overleaf. Failure to do so will be deemed to authorise the proxy to vote, or to abstain from voting, at the AGM as he/she thinks fit in respect of all the shareholder's exercisable votes. A shareholder or his/her proxy is not obliged to use all the votes exercisable by him/her, but the total number of votes cast or those in respect of which abstention is recorded may not exceed the total number of votes exercisable by the shareholder or his/her proxy.
  8. A minor must be assisted by his/her parent or guardian unless the relevant documents establishing his/her legal capacity are produced or have been registered by the transfer secretaries.
  9. For the orderly arrangement of matters (but not required), proxy forms should be forwarded to the Company's meeting scrutineers, The Meeting Specialist Proprietary Limited (TMS), either by direct delivery to JSE Building, One Exchange Square, 2 Gwen Lane, Sandown, 2196, South Africa or by email to proxy@tmsmeetings.co.za, so as to be received by no later than 09:30 (South African time) on Tuesday, 18 January 2022. Alternatively, shareholders may still submit proxy forms and such proxies may still register to attend, participate in and/or vote electronically at the AGM after this date, provided, however, that such proxies (i) are registered and (ii) their identities are verified (as required in terms of section 63(1) of the Companies Act), by no later than the commencement of the AGM.
  10. If the instrument appointing a proxy has been delivered to the Company, as long as the appointment remains in effect, any notice that is required by the Companies Act or the Memorandum of Incorporation of the Company to be delivered by the Company to such shareholder must be delivered by the Company to (a) the shareholder or (b) the proxy or proxies, if the shareholder has directed the Company to do so in writing and has paid any reasonable fee charged by the Company for doing so.
  11. Documentary evidence establishing the authority of a person signing this form of proxy in a representative capacity must be attached to this form of proxy, unless previously recorded by the transfer secretaries or waived by the chairperson of the AGM.
  12. The appointment of a proxy or proxies is suspended at any time and to the extent that the relevant shareholder chooses to act directly and in person in the exercise of any rights as a shareholder. The appointment of a proxy is revocable unless the instrument in terms of which the proxy is appointed expressly states otherwise. If the appointment is revocable, then the relevant shareholder may revoke the proxy appointment by cancelling it in writing, or making a later inconsistent appointment of a proxy, and delivering a copy of the revocation instrument or inconsistent appointment of a proxy to the Company and the former proxy.
  13. The chairperson of the AGM may accept any form of proxy which is completed other than in accordance with these instructions provided that he is satisfied as to the manner in which the relevant shareholder wishes to vote.
