VOLUNTARY ANNOUNCEMENT TO MARKET: CYBER INCIDENT

On 20 March 2024 Nampak detected unauthorised activity on its IT systems. An
unknown third-party gained access to its IT systems, notwithstanding the
Company's robust and embedded security protocols. The Company immediately
took the necessary steps to contain, assess and remediate the incident.

Nampak is taking the necessary measures to determine the scope of the
compromise, to restore the integrity of its information systems and to ensure
that it is not exposed to further risk. The Company has retained local and
global cybersecurity and forensic experts to work with its capable in-house
IT team to manage this process.

In line with the Company's business continuity plans, Nampak has switched
over to its backup manual compensating controls and continues to function
using these processes. This breach has not affected the manufacturing
facilities and operations which are functioning as normal, albeit with some
manual operating systems where required. The Company will work with its
suppliers and customers to ensure that the impact of the incident is
contained, and it is able to continue delivering products as required.

Nampak is aware of its obligations under the Protection of Personal
Information Act (POPIA) and an initial notification has already been made to
the Information Regulator. This will be supplemented as the investigation
progresses, and a notification to potentially affected data subjects will be
made as soon as possible, in accordance with POPIA requirements. The Company
will cooperate with the authorities as and when required. Nampak regularly
reviews and strengthens its cybersecurity policies and procedures, and
technological capabilities, to mitigate against the ever-evolving cyber risk
landscape.
