RESULTS OF VOTING

After the counting adjournment, the Chair announced the voting results as follows: an aggregate of 76.63% of the total shareholding of the Company voted at the AGM and all resolutions were passed, with the highest support for the resolutions recorded at 100% and the lowest support at 57.71% (relating to the non-binding advisory resolution on the endorsement of the remuneration implementation report).

In view of the non-binding advisory resolution on the endorsement of the remuneration implementation report not achieving the required minimum of 75% votes, the Company was to initiate a process of engagement with the shareholders who had voted against this resolution, as required in terms of the King IV Report on Corporate Governance and JSE Listings Requirements.

CLOSING

The Chair enquired whether any shareholder wished to raise any other matter which might be transacted at an AGM. No further matters were raised. The Chair thanked everyone present for their attendance and participation, and the meeting was thereafter declared closed.
