4. Renewal of the Board's Authority to issue ordinary shares
Purpose
It is proposed that the Board's authority to issue Shares ("Shares" and each a "Share") be renewed.
Proposal
That in accordance with the Company's Constitution, the Board be hereby authorised to exercise the power of the Company to issue Shares in the Company, and that the Board may offer, issue, grant rights or options over, or otherwise dispose of Shares to such persons on such terms and in such manner as they think fit, whether for cash or otherwise, subject to the following limitations:
i. that the authority given under this ordinary resolution will expire upon the lapse of 15 (fifteen) months from the date of the AGM of Thursday, 07 August 2025 but shall be renewable for further periods (which may be periods of less than but not more than 5 (five) years each) by resolution of the general meeting of the shareholders from time to time;
ii. that a paid press announcement giving details, including the impact on net asset value and earnings per Share, be published at the time of any such issue of, or grant of options or rights over, Shares;
iii. that in aggregate in any one year the Shares represented by such issue(s) or grant of options or rights may not exceed 10 (ten) percent of the aggregate issued ordinary shares of the Company; and
iv. that, in determining the price at which such an issue of Shares (including pursuant to a future exercise of options or rights) will be made in terms of this authority, the maximum discount permitted will be 10 (ten) percent of the volume-weighted average price of the Shares as determined over the 30 (thirty) days prior to the date that the price of the issue is determined or agreed by the directors on all securities exchanges on which the Shares are listed and have traded during that period.
SPECIAL BUSINESS
5. Renewal of the Company's authority to purchase its own shares subject to various limitations
Purpose
The Board proposes that the authority of the Company to make market purchases of its own ordinary shares be renewed. As at the date of this notice of the AGM, there is no current intention to repurchase ordinary shares. However, the Board believes that it is nevertheless desirable for this general authority to be available to provide flexibility in the management of the Company's capital resources in the future.
Proposal
That the Company be and is generally and unconditionally authorised, pursuant to section 69 of the Mauritius Companies Act 2001 ("Companies Act") and article 14.4 of the constitution of the Company, to make market purchases of its own ordinary shares on such terms and in such manner as the directors shall determine, provided that:
i. the Shares to be purchased are fully paid up;
ii. the maximum aggregate Shares authorised to be purchased shall not exceed 10 (ten) percent of the aggregate issued shares of the Company at any point in time;
iii. the maximum price which may be paid for each Share shall be 5 (five) percent above the volume weighted average price for a Share on the securities exchange on which the Shares are purchased for the five business days immediately before the day on which the purchase is made (in each case exclusive of expenses); and
iv. all conditions and limitations imposed by the Companies Act are adhered to.
That this authority (unless previously revoked, varied or renewed) shall expire on 30 October 2026 or, if sooner, at the end of the AGM of the Company to be held in 2026.

NOTES
Any Ordinary Shareholder may, in writing, appoint a proxy, who need not be an Ordinary Shareholder, to represent him/her at the AGM. Any company, being an Ordinary Shareholder, may execute a form of proxy under the hand of a duly authorised officer. The instrument appointing a proxy together with evidence of the authority of the person by whom the proxy is signed (except in the case of a proxy signed by the Ordinary Shareholder), shall be deposited at the registered office of the Company, 24 (twenty-four) hours before the time for the holding of the AGM or its adjournment (as the case may be) at which the person named in such instrument proposes to vote. No instrument appointing a proxy shall be valid after the expiration of 12 (twelve) months from the date of its execution. Any Ordinary Shareholder may, instead of sending the proxy form to the registered office, send the proxy form (completed in accordance with its instructions) to the appropriate transfer agent, 48 (forty-eight) hours prior to the AGM in order that the transfer agents may be able to send the proxy form on his/her behalf to the registered office 24 (twenty-four) hours before the time for the holding of the AGM.
The following dates are applicable to all Ordinary Shareholders. This notice is being sent to the Ordinary Shareholders on the register of members of the Company as at Friday, 4 July 2025. Ordinary Shareholders registered on the register of members as at Friday, 1 August 2025 ("Record Date") shall have the right to participate in and vote at the AGM. Accordingly, the last day to trade for Ordinary Shareholders in order to be able to participate in and vote at the AGM is Tuesday, 29 July 2025. Any change to an entry on the register of members after the Record Date shall be disregarded in determining the right of any person to attend and vote at the AGM.
A form of proxy is enclosed with this notice, the completion of which will not preclude an Ordinary Shareholder from attending and voting at the AGM in person to the exclusion of any proxy appointed.
Resolutions 1 to 4 are to be proposed as ordinary resolutions and Resolution 5 is to be proposed as a special resolution.
Ordinary resolutions may be passed at the AGM by a simple majority representing more than 50 (fifty) percent of the voting rights attached to shares represented and entitled to vote at the AGM. Special resolutions require a 75 (seventy five) percent majority by nominal value of shares represented at the AGM and entitled to vote.
The quorum requirement in relation to both ordinary resolutions and special resolutions is at least two members holding shares granting the right to vote in the Company who are present or represented at the AGM.
