If all the Scheme Conditions are not fulfilled or, where applicable, waived by Tuesday, 23 June 2026 (or if all conditions precedent to the Scheme are fulfilled or, where applicable, waived on a day before Tuesday, 23 June 2026), an updated timetable will be released on SENS.

  2. Completed forms of proxy and the authority (if any) under which they are signed must be (i) lodged with, posted or emailed to the transfer secretaries ("Computershare") at Rosebank Towers, 15 Biermann Avenue, Rosebank, Johannesburg, 2196 (Private Bag X9000, Saxonwold, 2132), or [email protected], to be received by them no later than 12:00 on Thursday, 7 May 2026 or (ii) thereafter emailed to Computershare at the aforementioned email address (for the attention of the chairperson of the Scheme Meeting) at any time before the proxy exercises any rights of the Shareholder at such Scheme Meeting.

  3. Shareholders should note that, as trade in Mahube Shares on the JSE is settled in the electronic settlement system used by Strate Proprietary Limited, settlement of trades takes place 3 business days after the date of such trades. Therefore, Shareholders who acquire Mahube Shares on the JSE after the voting last day to trade, expected to be on Friday, 24 April 2026 being the last day to trade in Mahube Shares so as to be recorded in the securities register on the Scheme Voting Record Date, will not be entitled to vote at the Scheme Meeting.

  5. The exercise of appraisal rights may result in changes to the above salient dates and times and Shareholders will be notified separately of the applicable dates and times resulting from any such changes.

Shareholders who wish to exercise their right in terms of section 115(3) of the Companies Act, to require the approval of a court for the Scheme should refer to Annexure 4 of the Scheme Circular which includes an extract of section 115 of the Companies Act. Should Shareholders exercise their rights in terms of section 115(3) of the Companies Act, the dates and times set out above may change, in which case an updated timetable will be released on SENS.

Dematerialised Shareholders, other than those with own-name registration, must provide their CSDP or broker with their instructions for voting at the Scheme Meeting by the cut-off time and date stipulated by their CSDP or broker in terms of their respective custody agreements between them and their CSDP or Broker.

  8. If the Scheme Meeting is adjourned or postponed, the above dates and times will change, but the forms of proxy submitted for the initial Scheme Meeting will remain valid in respect of any adjournment or postponement of the Scheme Meeting.

  9. Mahube Shareholders should note that there may be no dematerialisation or rematerialisation of Mahube Shares after Tuesday, 7 July 2026, which is the expected last day to trade in order to participate in the Scheme.

  10. Although the salient dates and times are stated to be subject to change, such statement shall not be regarded as consent or dispensation for any change to time periods which may be required in terms of the Companies Act, the Companies Regulations and the JSE Requirements, where applicable, and any such consents or dispensations must be specifically applied for and granted.
