3.546% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at the date on which the General

The repurchases were made in terms of the General Authority granted by shareholders at the
AGM and were effected through the order book operated by the JSE Limited ("JSE") trading
system, without any prior understanding or arrangement between the Company and the
counterparties. The requirements for the general repurchase of shares in terms of
paragraph 5.72(a) of the JSE Listings Requirements, have been complied with.

The repurchases between 3 July 2023 and 3 August 2023 and between 3 January 2024 and
4 March 2024 took place in accordance with repurchase programmes submitted to the JSE prior
to the commencement of the relevant prohibited periods, in terms of paragraph 5.72(h) of the JSE
Listings Requirements.

The shares repurchased have been and/or will be de-listed and cancelled by the date of this
announcement or as soon as possible hereafter as the JSE may permit.

In terms of the General Authority, the Company may repurchase up to a further 98 390 869 shares
(representing 16.454% of the shares in issue as at the date on which the General Authority was
granted), which General Authority will remain valid until the Company's next annual general
meeting.

As at the date of this announcement, the Company held 11 722 617 shares in treasury. The impact
of the repurchases of the shares on the financial position of the Company is immaterial, as the
repurchases were funded out of the Company's available cash resources.

OPINION OF THE BOARD

The Board has considered the effect of the repurchases and is of the opinion that, for a period of
12 months following the date of this announcement:

-    the Company and its subsidiaries ("Group") will be able, in the ordinary course of business,
     to repay their debts;
-    the consolidated assets of the Company and the Group will be in excess of the consolidated
     liabilities of the Company and the Group;
-    the Company's and the Group's share capital and reserves will be adequate for the ordinary
     business purposes of the Company and the Group; and
-    the Company and the Group will have sufficient working capital for ordinary business
     purposes.
