FOR THE YEAR ENDED

MPACT - CLOSING THE LOOP

This year Mpact Recycling's 14 facilities across South Africa collected over 580,000 tonnes of recyclables (paper, glass, beverage cans, plastic and liquid board packaging) from pre- and post-consumer streams. In this way, material is diverted from landfill sites. The process also provides waste collectors an opportunity to earn a living by selling recyclable waste to Mpact's buy-back centres.
Paper fibre can be recycled up to seven times before it degrades, with every tonne of paper that is recovered saving 3m³ of landfill space. Approximately 70% of the cardboard and paper recovered by Mpact Recycling is used at Mpact's paper mills to produce paper and board. The rest is sold to external customers.
Mpact Plastics uses recycled PET (rPET) and other recycled material according to customers' needs. The Bins & Crates business has a buy-back and exchange model that encourages customers to return products for recycling at the end of life. Approximately 20% of the high-density polyethylene the business uses is recycled from returned product.
Recyclable plastics collected by Mpact Recycling are sold to external customers for recycling.

The Company will instruct an independent third party, which makes its investment decisions in relation to the Company's securities independently of, and uninfluenced by, the Company, prior to the commencement of the prohibited period to execute the repurchase programme submitted to the JSE; and
- when the Company has cumulatively repurchased 3% (three percent) of the initial number of the relevant class of securities, and for each 3% (three percent) in aggregate of the initial number of that class acquired thereafter, an announcement will be made in accordance with paragraph 11.27 of the JSE Listings Requirements."

8. SPECIAL RESOLUTION 2 – NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS' REMUNERATION
"Resolved that the Company be and is hereby authorised, in terms of section 66(9) of the Companies Act, to pay the fees, as follows, to its Non-executive Directors for their services as Directors with effect from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2027, plus any value added tax (VAT) applicable."
| Proposed fees 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2026 | Actual fees paid 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2025 | Proposed fees 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2027 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Base fee per annum | Attendance fee per annum | Base fee per annum | Attendance fee per annum | Base fee per annum | Attendance fee per annum | |
| Chairman | 1,269,500 | - | 1,332,975 | |||
| Lead Independent Director | 303,765 | 161,938 | ||||
| Board member | 194,062 | 154,227 | - | 203,765 | 161,938 | |

| Social and Ethics Committee Chairman | 231,402 | - | 242,972 | |||
| Social and Ethics Committee member | 116,124 | - | 121,930 |
The above amounts exclude VAT and are calculated for four meetings per annum. Special meetings will be an additional per meeting cost.
The Chairman's fees are all-inclusive.
The Board is of the view that:
- the annual fees payable to a Board Committee Chairman should reflect the role and additional time commitment expected of a Chairman; and
- Non-executive Directors may not receive short-term incentives, nor may they participate in the Company's long-term incentive schemes.
Explanatory note:
At the preceding three AGMs the proposed Non-executive Director fees were tabled for approval but did not receive the requisite approval needed to carry the authorising special resolution. Accordingly, the Company has not paid any Non-executive Director fees since the AGM held on 2 June 2022. A market-related benchmark exercise was conducted on Non-executive Director Fees in 2024, and accordingly a 5% increase is hereby proposed on the last proposed fee, effective 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2027.
The Non-executive Directors were appointed to the Board of Directors of Mpact Operations (Pty) Ltd ("Mpact Operations") (which conducts the vast majority of the business and affairs of the broader group) with effect from 23 September 2022 in which capacity they continue to attend to the governance of Mpact Operations and its subsidiaries. In their capacity as Non-executive Directors of Mpact Operations, they have been remunerated for services rendered to Mpact Operations, in an amount equal to 85% of the proposed 2024 fee. However, they have not received any remuneration in respect of their ongoing services to Mpact Ltd.
MPACT NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2024
Section 66(9) of the Companies Act requires that remuneration payable to Directors of a Company in respect of their services as Directors must be approved by special resolution of shareholders, adopted within the previous two years.
The Board has therefore resolved, on the recommendation of the Remuneration Committee, to propose for approval special resolution 2, authorising the payment of Directors' fees to the Non-executive Directors of the Company for their services as Directors. If special resolution 2 is approved, it is proposed that the fees payable to Non-executive Directors of Mpact Operations be adjusted such that the Non-executive Directors are not paid fees which, in aggregate with any fees which may be paid to them in their capacity as Non-executive Directors of the Company, exceed the amounts contemplated in special resolution 2.
MAJORITY REQUIRED FOR THE ADOPTION OF RESOLUTIONS
Unless otherwise indicated, in order for the ordinary resolutions to be adopted, the support of a simple majority (that is, 50% plus one) of the total number of voting rights exercised on the resolutions is required unless a higher requirement has been prescribed in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements.
The non-binding resolutions are of an advisory nature only and failure to pass these resolutions will therefore not have any legal consequences relating to the existing arrangements. Should 25% or more of the votes exercised on these non-binding resolutions be cast against either or both of these non-binding resolutions, the Board undertakes to engage with identified dissenting shareholders as to the reasons and take appropriate action (as determined at the discretion of the Board) to reasonably address issues raised as envisaged in King IV™ and the JSE Listings Requirements.
In order for the special resolutions to be adopted, the support of at least 75% of the total number of voting rights exercised on the resolutions is required. Votes recorded as abstentions are not taken into account for the purposes of determining the final percentage of votes cast in favour of the resolutions.
IDENTIFICATION
In accordance with the provisions of section 63(1) of the Companies Act, all participants at the AGM will be required to provide reasonably satisfactory identification (such as a valid passport or South African identity document or driving licence) prior to the AGM. Any shareholder of Mpact that is a legal entity must authorise a person to act as its representative at the AGM through a
letter of representation. This process will be facilitated by the Company's transfer secretaries, JSE Investor Services (Pty) Limited (JIS).
FORMS OF PROXY
For administrative purposes it is requested that Forms of Proxy be lodged with JIS. Completed Forms of Proxy can also be posted to JSE Investor Services (Pty) Ltd, One Exchange Square, 2 Gwen Lane, Sandown, Sandton, 2196 or emailed to [email protected] to reach them 48 hours before the AGM.
Any Forms of Proxy not received by this time must be emailed to JIS immediately prior to the commencement of the AGM.
Documentary evidence establishing the authority of a person signing the Forms of Proxy in a representative capacity must be attached to the Forms of Proxy unless previously recorded by the transfer secretaries or waived by the chairman of the AGM.
DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT
The Directors, whose names are set out in this Notice and the Integrated Report (which is available at www.mpact.co.za), collectively and individually, accept full responsibility for the accuracy of the information pertaining to all the resolutions set out in this Notice and certify that, to the best of their knowledge and belief, there are no facts that have been omitted that would make any statement false or misleading, and that all reasonable enquiries to ascertain such facts have been made and that these resolutions contain all information required by law and the JSE Listings Requirements.

SOCIAL AND ETHICS COMMITTEE REPORT

The committee performs its duties in terms of regulation 43 of the Companies Act, the guidance provided by King IV™ and its Terms of Reference. The Terms of Reference are reviewed annually, and updated to ensure they remain aligned with statutory and legal requirements, as well as the changing needs of the organisation.
In the period reported, the committee comprised two Independent Non-executive Directors and one Executive Director. The committee reports to the Board every quarter as well as to shareholders at the AGM. Four meetings were held during the year (shown on page 12); key senior managers attended meetings by invitation. There were no incidents of material non-compliance with environmental and health and safety regulations during 2024.
COMMITMENT TO ESG
Mpact's commitment to ESG is fulfilled in the following ways:
-
Acting as a responsible employer and corporate citizen and managing natural resources with care, sensitivity and expertise.
-
Providing a safe and secure working environment in which employees can fulfil their ambitions and aspire to continually improve their circumstances.
- Providing our customers with innovative sustainable packaging while giving effect to the circular economy through our integrated business model.
- Making a difference in the communities in which we operate.
- Adherence to a range of local and international standards in the areas of quality, environment, food safety, and employee health and safety.
The committee reviews quarterly reports from management on key aspects of ESG including, environmental, energy and carbon emissions, health and safety, development and transformation, corporate social investment, and stakeholder engagement. The committee also reviews ESG-related risks and provides input to management's key controls and risk ratings, as profiled in the Group Risk Register. These risks include, among others, consideration of climate change, energy, water supply, social cohesion, employee well-being, legislative compliance, and reputation. Sustainability issues are assessed to ensure that these accurately represent the most material potential impacts on Mpact's ability to create value.
Our Sustainability Report, published separately to support the Integrated Report, sets out our approach to ESG in more detail.
ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
Mpact's Environmental Management Standard (EMS), which complies with ISO14001 requirements, guides operations in driving continual improvement. Integral to this standard are the five-year plans in which each operation commits to reductions in energy and $\mathrm{CO}{2}\mathrm{e}$ as well as water use and wastewater disposal; our energy plan also informs the mandatory Greenhouse Gas Pollution Prevention Plan and Carbon Budget. I am pleased to report that the Group has not exceeded the energy, $\mathrm{CO}{2}\mathrm{e}$ and water targets that were set for 2027, nor received any environmental adverse findings. A Net
MPACT NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2024
Zero vision has been drafted for 2050 and a detailed Climate Change risk register is in place to inform our approach to climate adaptation and transition.
We continue to seek alternative ways to manage energy and water supply as service delivery challenges prevail across the country. Mpact has installed 16MWp of Solar PV with a target of 25MWp by 2027. This is supplemented by 22.6MW of diesel generation capacity to alleviate outages at key operations. We are in the process of conducting a feasibility study to install a 66MWp Solar PV plant at our Mkhondo Mill from which we would be able to wheel power to other operations and the independent energy market. Boreholes and rainwater harvesting facilities have been installed at several operations to provide water when services fail. We are also considering large scale storage to support operations through water outages, especially in Gauteng where water supply has become challenging.
As the leading plastic and paper recycling and packaging manufacturer in southern Africa, we ensure valuable recyclable materials remain in the eco-system and are converted into new products through our integrated business model. Our circular economy focus is becoming increasingly important in addressing the multiple challenges of landfill space, litter, resource constraints and the recycling ethic.
PRIORITISING HEALTH AND SAFETY
The committee oversees the health and safety of employees and assesses the processes that are in place to create a safe working environment.
The SIFR, which includes RWC, lost time injuries, and fatalities, increased to 0.50 (2023: 0.40) and LTIFR increased to 0.40 (2023: 0.29). The number of lost time injuries increased to 29 (2023: 22) and RWCs decreased to 7 (2023: 8). It is with deep sadness that we report the loss of Emma Makobela in a work-related accident at our Pretoria recycling plant. Emma was contracted by the third-party company that runs operations at this site.
The Employee Wellness Programme provides support to employees and their households for health, psychosocial, and financial advice, as well as legal support. 341 employees and their family members consulted the EWP in 2024. Employees also have access to primary health and chronic disease consultations at onsite clinics and all employees undergo annual occupational health medical examinations.
COMMITMENT TO TRANSFORMATION
The committee has undertaken deep dives to support transformation across the Group. Focus areas include procurement, where we support enterprise and supplier development (ESD), and skills development.
Our preferential procurement programme fosters entrepreneurship and promotes transformation across the supply chain by supporting the development of small Black-owned and Black woman-owned businesses. This serves to reduce their costs and create a more inclusive value chain, whilst supporting the development of small businesses. Substantial prepayments are offered to small-scale suppliers to secure their working capital for raw materials, thereby enabling these businesses to expand and contribute to a more robust and diverse supply chain.
Within skills development, we prioritise initiatives that support the advancement of previously disadvantaged employees and those excluded from the job market. Mpact offers training and work experience opportunities on an ongoing basis through our apprentice and learnership programmes which are NQF-aligned. More than 92% of candidates in these programmes are from previously disadvantaged backgrounds and over 34% are Black women. Our e-Learning Academy, launched in 2021, has proved to be a valuable resource to facilitate basic training courses across the workforce.
We continue to monitor progress against Mpact's Employment Equity targets and the amended Forest Sector Code. Mpact Operations maintained a Level 1 B-BBEE rating in 2024 with Black ownership at 33.7% (2023: 28.6%) and Black female ownership at 18.6% (2023: 17.4%).
SUPPORTING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Our operating divisions continue to proactively engage with local communities through CSI initiatives, and encourage employee participation. Mpact's financial contribution to CSI supports projects in the areas of education, health, sports, disaster relief, youth development and gender-based violence (GBV). We are proud of the commitment that is shown by our operating divisions, and the positive impact this has had in uplifting the lives of the beneficiaries who they touch.
GOVERNANCE AND ETHICS
The Group's Code of Ethics is the basis upon which we engage with our stakeholders, internally and externally and encompasses our approach to human rights, gifts and entertainment, fraud, bribery and corruption. Employees are encouraged to report improper conduct or unethical behaviour to management, as a protected disclosure in accordance with the provisions of the Protected Disclosures Act No. 26 of 2000, and also have access to a whistle-blowing facility that is independently administered by Deloitte.
SOCIAL AND ETHICS COMMITTEE REPORT (continued)
FOCUS FOR 2025
Stakeholder engagement is critical to our success and helps us to identify risks and opportunities, as well as any potential material issues. We will maintain our focus on health, safety and environmental sustainability and promote the Group's ability to create and add value through the circular economy at an operational level with responsible leadership. I am most grateful to the members of the committee for their contribution over the past year.
The committee is adequately structured in accordance with these requirements as follows:

PART 1: BACKGROUND STATEMENT
This section provides insight around how remuneration decisions were influenced by the performance of the Group.
PART 2: THE REMUNERATION POLICY
This section is forward-looking, providing an overview of our remuneration philosophy and the Remuneration Policy that will be applicable for 2025.

MPACT NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2024
REMUNERATION COMMITTEE REPORT (continued)
PART 1: BACKGROUND STATEMENT (continued)
Mpact's Remuneration Policy has a direct impact on operational expenditure, company culture, employee behaviour and ultimately, with correct strategic alignment, on the company's sustainability. As such it is clearly defined, monitored and managed to ensure sustained validity and effectiveness. Remuneration is a business issue, not only a human resources issue. In addition, given the growth potential of our business, we also need to ensure our reward practices are aligned with the delivery of desired results and value creation over time.
Responsibility for the Remuneration Policy rests with the Remuneration Committee appointed annually by the Mpact Board of Directors.
| Remuneration Committee | |
|---|---|
| Chairman | Sibusiso Luthuli |
| Members | Tony Phillips, Maja Makanjee, and Donald Wilson |
| Independence | All committee members are Independent Non-executive Directors |
| Role and function | The committee considers the Remuneration Policy of the Group with the assistance and guidance of independent experts, if required, and makes recommendations to the Board on all aspects of remuneration. The committee further ensures that the Executive Directors, Prescribed Officers and senior managers are fairly rewarded for their individual contributions to the Group's overall performance. The committee also considers bonuses, which are discretionary and based upon general economic variables, the performance of the Group and the individual's performance, share awards and certain other employee benefits and schemes. No remuneration of any nature shall be paid, increased or varied to any Director without the prior approval of the members of the committee. |
| Responsibilities | • Assisting the Board by setting and administering remuneration policies in the Group's long-term interests, and ensuring, through an ongoing review of the Remuneration Policy for both appropriateness and relevance, the Group remunerates fairly and responsibly. |
| • Being especially concerned with and providing recommendations regarding the remuneration of both Executive and Non-executive Directors, with due regard to applicable legal and regulatory requirements. | |
| • Determining, within the terms of the agreed policy, the total individual remuneration package of the Executive Directors, Prescribed Officers and senior managers and any other executive whose total remuneration is comparable to, or higher than, that of an Exco member. | |
| • Ensuring that individuals are provided with appropriate incentives to encourage enhanced performance and are, in a fair and responsible manner, rewarded for their individual contributions to Mpact's success. | |
| Assurance | The committee is governed by formal Terms of Reference. The committee confirmed that they diligently exercised their duties of care and skill and they have taken reasonable steps to ensure that their duties were performed in accordance with their mandate. |

In attendance: DM Dickson, Group Company Secretary.
The CEO, Group HR Manager, Group Financial Controller and external remuneration experts were invited to the meetings by the committee only in the event they were requested by the committee to present specific items, and were excused thereafter.
ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN BY THE COMMITTEE DURING THE YEAR
The committee reviewed and approved:
- the remuneration packages and structure of Executive Directors, Prescribed Officers and senior management to ensure that they are competitive in the relevant market and are aligned with shareholders' interest as well as with the Group's strategy;
- the Exco's achievement against agreed key performance areas (KPAs) and STI targets for 2023;
- the Exco's KPAs and STI targets for 2024, considering prevailing market conditions and the company's strategic objectives, among other factors;
- the 2024 LTI awards and related conditions for vesting in March 2027;
- the vesting of the conditional 2021 LTI awards which vested in qualifying participants on 31 March 2024;
- mandates for wage negotiations and salary increases, taking the prevailing economic conditions and Group performance into consideration. Both mandates were recommended to and approved by the Board; and
- the Non-executive Directors' fees tabled for approval at the 2024 AGM.
RemChannel benchmarked the Total Guaranteed Cost of Employment (TGCOE) packages in 2021 in respect of Mpact's Executive Directors, Prescribed Officers and senior management. The conclusion of the exercise was that the Executive Directors, Prescribed Officers and senior management team of Mpact are positioned fairly, with a few exceptions due primarily to length of service. BDO Corporate Finance (Pty) Ltd verified that the correct number of shares vested in March 2025 in respect of the LTI awards granted in 2022 in terms of Mpact's Bonus Share Plan (BSP) and Performance Share Plan (PSP).
Other key activities undertaken during the year included:
- a detailed review of the Remuneration Policy to ensure that the policy is aligned to developments in best practice, legal and regulatory requirements, as well as being competitive, and aligned to shareholder returns and other stakeholder interests. Several updates to the Remuneration Policy, particularly in respect of variable pay, were identified and included in the 2025 Remuneration Policy Section of this report;
- a comprehensive benchmarking and review of the Mpact Incentive Scheme by Bowmans, who are external remuneration experts, with a view to aligning with industry best practice and addressing shareholder concerns. The committee is of the opinion that the remuneration advice was independent and objective;
- oversight of the activities of the Mpact Incentive Scheme Trust on behalf of the Board, including reviewing the financial aspects of the Trust to ensure Mpact governance standards were adhered to;
- reviewing the senior leadership development programme which aims to empower executives with management expertise and cross-functional perspective to drive performance across domains, industries and borders;
- ensuring employees have opportunities to develop themselves through a combination of structured development centres, accredited management development programmes, access to study assistance as well as in-house and external training programmes; and
- conducting a comprehensive gender and pay parity review, considering reporting standards, appropriate ratios and co-efficients, current disclosure, and national and global best practice.
MPACT NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2024
REMUNERATION COMMITTEE REPORT (continued)
PART 1: BACKGROUND STATEMENT (continued)
The Remuneration Policy and Implementation Report were tabled for separate non-binding advisory votes by shareholders at the company's AGM held on 6 June 2024. More than 25% of Mpact's shareholders present at the AGM voted against the policy and the report ("dissenting shareholders"). The voting results for the past two years are indicated in the table below:
| Percentage of “Yes” votes | 6 June 2024 | 1 June 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Non-binding advisory vote on Remuneration Policy | 48.82% | 58.29% |
| Non-binding vote on implementation of Remuneration Policy | 48.82% | 58.29% |
SHAREHOLDER CONSULTATIONS
The Board invited shareholders to engage with the Board by forwarding their concerns/questions on the Remuneration Policy and the Implementation Report. No requests to engage were received.
Shareholders' engagements prior to the AGM were held as follows:
| Shareholder | Method of engagement |
|---|---|
| M & G Investments | Email communication |
| Camissa | Email communication |
| Bateleur Capital | Email communication |
| Aeon Investment Management | Email communication |
Concerns raised by shareholders, including those received by the Board prior to the AGM, were considered by the committee and reviewed and addressed by the Board at the recommendation of the committee.
The concerns raised and the responses from Mpact were as follows:
| Concerns raised | Response and action taken by Mpact |
|---|---|
| 1. Non-financial targets form 40% of the STI, which is a significant component in the STI, especially given that we don't have full view on how these targets are measured. We would prefer a reduced weighting to the non-financial targets. Additionally, there are no ESG-related KPIs such as water intensity or carbon emissions. | Non-financial targets have been reduced to 30% for the 2025 STI, whereas financial targets will comprise the balance of the STI, being 70%. In terms of the non-financial STI targets for 2025, 15% will be allocated to measurable ESG targets, including items such as health & safety, carbon emission reductions, water usage and B-BBEE targets. The other 15% will be allocated to individual KPAs and leadership competencies, such as growing the business, building partnerships, delivering results and self-management. |
| Water and CO₂e savings are disclosed on page 19 of the 2024 Sustainability Report, where progress is tracked against set targets. | |
| As set out on 2 pages 25 and 26 of this notice, the weightings of financial targets for the CEO and CFO amount to 80% and 79%, respectively, of maximum achievable variable pay (long and short term). Non-financial targets therefore only constitute 20% and 21% of the maximum variable pay for the CEO and CFO, respectively. The Board considers this weighting to be appropriate given the need for management to also attend to elements other than financial performance to ensure Mpact's sustainability, such as ESG matters. |
MPACT NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2024
PART 1: BACKGROUND STATEMENT (continued)
| Concerns raised | Response and action taken by Mpact |
|---|---|
| 2. EBITDA is an inappropriate measure of performance as it ignores the capital cost of growth. HEPS/EBIT or free cash flow is a better metric for measurement, especially considering the capex-led growth strategy currently being implemented. We would encourage the board to consider incorporating a cash generation/free cash flow measure as one of the targets in the Long-Term Incentives together with ROCE and HEPS growth. | The Board has included HEPS growth as a performance measure for the 2025 STI awards. |
| The Board is of the view that EBITDA, HEPS, ROCE and working capital are effective measures of management's performance when used in combination, as is the case for Mpact. The weightings of each measure in the maximum variable pay are set out on ② pages 25 and 26 of this notice. In determining incentive targets, the Remuneration Committee aims to ensure that the targets are aligned with shareholder interests, achievable, take into account current economic conditions and encourage value enhancing investments, even if such investments may reduce cash flow, ROCE, EBITDA and HEPS in the early years. Management's interests are further aligned to shareholders through deferred and performance share awards, which reflect the Mpact share price performance during the three years between award and vesting. | |
| 3. Regarding long-term incentives (LTIs), the ROCE bands are too low, considering the company WACC at 14%. How are impairments considered when calculating ROCE? | The ROCE target for the 2025 LTI awards have been set at 16% for entry and 18% for maximum achievement. These targets were set taking into account the long-term WACC of the company. |
| When calculating the ROCE achievement against 2023 targets, ROCE was recalculated to exclude the impact of any impairments which occurred during the performance period. The ROCE calculations were presented at the Remuneration Committee meeting for their discussion and approval. |
MPACT NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2024
REMUNERATION COMMITTEE REPORT (continued)
PART 1: BACKGROUND STATEMENT (continued)
| Concerns raised | Response and action taken by Mpact |
|---|---|
| 4. There is a lack of transparency regarding pay disparities, including pay ratios and gender pay gaps, as well as the remuneration comparator. We as you are aware have raised the pay ratio and gender ratio disclosure for about three years. Richemont has recently issued an Equal Salary certificate by an independent organisation. The board may want to investigate the feasibility of getting such a certificate. | As reported on □ page 22 of this notice, RemChannel benchmarked the Total Guaranteed Cost of Employment (TGCOE) packages in 2021 in respect of Mpact's Executive Directors, Prescribed Officers and senior management. The conclusion of the exercise was that the Executive Directors, Prescribed Officers and senior management team are positioned fairly, with a few exceptions due primarily to length of service. |
Regarding pay ratios and gender pay gaps, a comprehensive gender and pay parity review was conducted during 2023 considering reporting standards, appropriate ratios and co-efficients, current disclosure, and national and global best practices. A key focus area for 2024, amongst others, was the individual review of verified anomalies identified in the pay parity review and proposing appropriate and achievable timelines for corrective action.
Mpact is aware of the additional reporting requirements prescribed by the South African Companies Amendment Act 16 of 2024 (Act) which was signed into law by the South African President on 30 July 2024. The sections of the Act applicable to remuneration governance and reporting have not yet been implemented, but greater visibility will be required on the issue of pay differentials, specifically:
1. the total remuneration received by each director and prescribed officer;
2. the total remuneration of the highest remunerated employee;
3. the total remuneration of the lowest remunerated employee; and
4. the average total remuneration of all employees, median remuneration of all employees and the remuneration gap reflecting the ratio between the total remuneration of the top 5% highest paid employees and bottom 5% lowest paid employees
Lastly, the Board will give due consideration to a pay parity audit via an external verification or certification agency. |
| 5. We note that the Remuneration Policy still contains reference to Share Appreciation Rights, while these have not been in use since 2011. As a matter of principle, we prefer the use of Performance Shares over share appreciation rights, so would recommend the removal of the SARs from the policy altogether. | While we have no intention to issue Share Appreciation Rights at this stage, a scenario may arise in the future where such rights will be issued, and to change the policy would be premature. Performance shares are already a key component of our remuneration policy. |
| 6. Have there been any engagements with the shareholders who have voted against the NED fees and any plan of the way forward? | The Board invited all shareholders to engage after the AGM last year, and again in May 2024. Engagements are on-going with shareholders who voted against the NED fees with the aim of resolving the impasse. |
MPACT NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2024
PART 1: BACKGROUND STATEMENT (continued)
Concerns raised
- We have noticed over the last few years that in April, several related party transactions have taken place between the Share Trust and directors and Prescribed Officers whereby the Trust purchases shares from said persons. It is not explicitly stated as such in the SENS announcements but is our interpretation based on the filings and the volumes traded on the day.
Correspondence with Mpact in the prior year indicated that the transactions were required to satisfy the obligations of the Trust and deal with PAYE on the share awards. This is not the case in 2024 where the full share awards to key directors have been sold (2021 share award).
This raises two issues for discussion:
Firstly, carrying out this transaction in the current manner precludes other shareholders from participating in this liquidity event. In addition, it removes the impact of the illiquid nature of Mpact shares on key executives; potentially distorts the price they receive; and provides them no incentive to improve the overall liquidity of the counter.
Secondly, key directors exiting their entire awards at the first available opportunity does not convey confidence that the current share price is undervalued which we find concerning.
Response and action taken by Mpact
Consistent with past practice, there were various dealings by the Trust, directors and Prescribed Officers in Mpact shares in April 2024 following the vesting of the 2021 share awards, which dealings were fully disclosed on SENS in accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements. These dealings were authorised and executed in accordance with the rules of the Share Plan and in full compliance with all legal requirements, as confirmed by Mpact's legal advisers at that time.
As noted in the 2023 Integrated Report, the Mpact Board has approved the introduction of minimum shareholding requirements (MSR) for all members of the Mpact Group Exco with effect from 1 January 2024. The adopted MSR policy sets out minimum shareholding requirements for key executives, the time period in which compliance should be achieved, and the consequences for not achieving the requirement.
The aggregate beneficial holdings as at 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023 of the Executive Directors and prescribed officers of Mpact in the issued ordinary shares of Mpact are detailed on page 43 of this notice.
MPACT NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2024
REMUNERATION COMMITTEE REPORT (continued)
PART 1: BACKGROUND STATEMENT (continued)
KEY AREAS OF FOCUS FOR THE COMING YEAR
The committee has identified the following areas of focus for the coming year:
- remuneration packages and structure of Executive Directors, Prescribed Officers and senior management to ensure they are competitive in the relevant market and are aligned with shareholders' interest as well as with the Group's strategy;
- implementation of the recommendations by the external consultants relating to the Incentive Scheme in order to achieve best practice and address shareholder concerns;
- Exco's 2025 KPAs and STI targets as well as the performance conditions for new LTI awards, considering prevailing market conditions and the company's strategic objectives, among other factors. KPAs will include specific reference to ESG matters;
- continued review of progress achieved toward correcting verified anomalies identified in the pay parity review in 2023; and
- monitoring and review of progress towards compliance with the Minimum Shareholding Requirement policy for Executive Directors and Prescribed Officers introduced in 2024.
The committee is satisfied that the Remuneration Policy achieved its objectives in 2024.
MPACT NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2024
PART 2: THE REMUNERATION POLICY
OBJECTIVES OF THE POLICY
The objectives of the Remuneration Policy are to enable the business to:
- Provide a framework to fairly and responsibly reward all employees based on their experience, skillset and company contribution;
- Within reasonable parameters and based on the company's operational requirements:
- retain competent employees who enhance business performance;
- reward, recognise and confer appreciation for superior performance; and
- recruit high-performing, skilled individuals from a shrinking pool of talent.
- Establish a remuneration philosophy that:
- directs employees' energies and activities towards key business goals; and
- achieves the most effective returns (employee productivity) for total employee spend.
To achieve this, Mpact rewards its employees in a way that reflects the dynamics of the market and the context in which it operates. All components of this Remuneration Policy, including the fixed pay and variable pay for performance, are aligned to the strategic direction of the business and business-specific value drivers.
The Remuneration Policy is reviewed periodically by the committee considering, among other factors, the business strategy, latest trends, best practice and feedback from shareholders.
The Remuneration Policy will be subject to a non-binding advisory vote by shareholders at the AGM on 5 June 2025.
KEY PRINCIPLES
The Remuneration Policy has been set with the objective of attracting, motivating and retaining experienced and high calibre directors, managers and employees in a manner that is consistent with best practice and aligned with the interests of Mpact's shareholders.
The Remuneration Policy for employees is framed around the following key principles:
- remuneration packages should be set at levels that are competitive in the relevant market and address unjustified pay differentials;
- the structure of remuneration packages and, in particular, the design of performance-based remuneration schemes, should be aligned with shareholders' interests and should support the achievement of the Group's business strategy and the management of risk;
- a significant proportion of the remuneration of Exco members should be performance-based;
- the performance-based element of remuneration should be appropriately balanced between the achievement of short-term objectives and longer-term objectives;
- the remuneration of Exco members and other employees should be set taking appropriate account of remuneration and employment conditions elsewhere in the Group;
- appropriate measures may be utilised to attract and retain employees with scarce skills;
- compliance with, and due regard to, relevant collective bargaining processes and agreements.
TOTAL REMUNERATION OF EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT
The total remuneration of the executive management comprises the following:
- guaranteed pay; and
- variable pay for performance comprising:
- short-term incentives (STI); and
- long-term incentives (LTI).
The company's targeted pay mix aims to align the incentives of employees with the interests of shareholders. The targeted pay mix is set out on $\text{品}$ page 28 of this notice.
GUARANTEED PAY
Mpact aims to establish and maintain a logical pay scale with pay levels that ensure that the company is able to remain competitive, while managing costs.
Guaranteed pay is expressed in terms of total guaranteed cost of employment (TGCOE) which consists of basic salary, travel allowance, medical scheme contributions and retirement funding contributions.
ANNUAL TGCOE REVIEW
The TGCOE for employees is reviewed annually, normally with effect from 1 January. Factors taken into consideration during the review include business performance and the individual's performance, contribution and experience in the role. General affordability and the company's general financial position and operational requirements will play an important role in salary reviews:
- Salaries are reviewed annually and are targeted broadly at the median position in the relevant market. Due regard is also had to bargaining arrangements within industries or
MPACT NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2024
REMUNERATION COMMITTEE REPORT (continued)
PART 2: THE REMUNERATION POLICY (continued)
- sectors, and collective bargaining agreements applicable to bargaining unit employees, as negotiated at national or enterprise level.
- In respect of management employees, the company periodically benchmarks its remuneration practices and policy using reputable management reward surveys conducted independently. The benchmark used is the median total guaranteed cost of employment for similar positions in similarly sized listed companies.
- The committee has regard principally to companies in the South African market which have a similar size, complexity and scope to the company. The committee also considers business performance, salary practices prevailing for other employees in the company and, when setting individual salaries, the individual's performance, contribution and experience in the role. Salary practices prevailing for other employees in the Group are taken into account through the consideration of data provided to the committee annually.
In respect of Executive Directors, Prescribed Officers and senior management, the company periodically benchmarks its remuneration practices and policy using reputable management reward surveys conducted independently. The benchmark used is the median total guaranteed cost of employment for similar positions in similarly sized listed companies.
A benchmarking exercise of the TGCOE packages of Mpact's Executive Directors, Prescribed Officers and senior management was conducted by RemChannel in 2021. The conclusion of the exercise was that the Executive Directors, Prescribed Officers and senior management of Mpact are positioned fairly, with a few exceptions due primarily to length of service.
Mpact had an average company-ratio of 105.8% against the 50th percentile of the national all-industries market, and 98.3% against the manufacturing industry, when benchmarked against the RemChannel matched jobs in 2021.
MEDICAL AID
Medical aid benefits are offered through the Anglo Medical Scheme (AMS), administered by Discovery. AMS is a restricted medical scheme. The scheme offers three plans aimed at addressing the healthcare needs of its members. The plans include: Managed Care, a top tier plan comprising comprehensive unlimited cover for hospitalisation and most non-discretionary healthcare services; Standard Care, a traditional medical plan with defined benefits; and Value Care, an option which provides primary healthcare through a national network of Prime Cure facilities and providers.
RETIREMENT FUND
Retirement and risk benefits are provided through the Mondi Mpact Group Fund (MMGF) which has both a Pension and Provident section. The employer contributes to the Provident section and the employee contributes to either the Provident section or the Pension section. The MMGF has three investment categories, being Moderate, Dynamic and Conservative portfolios.
VARIABLE PAY
SHORT-TERM INCENTIVES (STI)
The annual STI award is based on a combination of financial and non-financial performance criteria for the year ended 31 December and comprises a cash portion, usually paid in full in March the following year, and for a limited number of key employees, a deferred portion. The deferred portion is awarded in order to retain, motivate and reward key personnel, such as those who are vital to the Group's success and/or have scarce skills. The deferred portion is in the form of either deferred bonus shares or a deferred cash plan (DCP). Both vest after three years subject to continued employment. In respect of DCP awards, interest accrues monthly at the JIBAR rate and is paid out with the deferred cash bonus at the time of vesting. Deferred bonus share awards prior to 2025 were made in terms of the Bonus Share Plan (BSP). On BSP vesting, all dividends declared between the award date and the vesting date are paid out to the employee as a dividend equivalent bonus. From 2025, the deferred portion will be awarded as Deferred Share awards (DSA), as further detailed in the section below on changes to the share award policy for 2025.
The maximum achievable short-term incentive awards for Executive Directors and Prescribed Officers are detailed below as values on the award date:
| Level | Cash portion as % of TGCOE | Deferred portion (DSA) as % of TGCOE |
|---|---|---|
| CEO | 80% | 45% |
| CFO | 80% | 45% |
| PO | 80% | 45% |

2025 STI KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATOR (KPI) WEIGHTING
The determination of the STI award is based on the assessment of various KPIs. For the 2025 financial year, these metrics and their relative weightings are indicated in the table below. Non-financial key performance areas include the following:
- Leadership competencies: grow the business; deliver results; build partnerships and self-management;
- ESG safety; and
- ESG other, including items such as water usage, carbon emission reduction and B-BBEE targets.
| STI key performance indicator | Weighting (% of max) | |
|---|---|---|
| CEO and CFO | PO | |
| Financial | 70% | 70% |
| ROCE¹ | 30% | 10% |
| HEPS² | 15% | 15% |

| Non-financial | 30% | 30% |
| ESG safety | 10% | 10% |
| ESG other | 5% | 5% |
| Individual KPAs and leadership competencies | 15% | 15% |
| Total | 100% | 100% |
- ROCE: Actual underlying EBIT plus actual share of profit from associated companies divided by average actual capital employed (excluding expansionary capital work-in-progress.
- HEPS: Actual headline earnings per share for the year.
- EBITDA: Actual underlying EBITDA for the year before special items.
- Trade working capital: Actual cash conversion cycle measured in days as at June and December.
LONG-TERM INCENTIVES (LTI) FOR THE 2025 FINANCIAL YEAR
Long-term incentives, in the form of Performance Shares may be awarded annually to selected employees ("eligible employees"), in Mpact's sole discretion. The combined, weighted implementation of the STIs and LTIs allows Mpact to be competitive in annual and share based incentives, reward long-term sustainable company performance aligned with shareholder interests, act as a retention tool, and ensure that Executive Committee members share a significant level of personal risk with the company's shareholders.
Performance Share awards prior to 2025 were made in terms of the Performance Share Plan (PSP). From 2025, Performance Share awards (PSA) will be made as detailed in the section below on changes to the share award policy for 2025.
Performance shares will vest on the third anniversary of their award, to the extent that the company has met specified performance criteria over the intervening period. Dividends declared between the award date and the vesting date will accrue to participants, but will only be settled when and to the extent that the underlying award vests.
PSA awards are weighted 90% towards financial performance and 10% towards non-financial performance.
The face value of PSAs is determined as a proportion of an employee's TGCOE. The number of shares conditionally awarded is based on the face value of the award divided by the volume weighted average share price (VWAP) of Mpact Limited for the 20 trading days prior to the date on which the award is made. The proportion of shares ultimately vesting is dependent on the level of achievement of the performance criteria over the vesting period which can range from 0% to 100%. The value at vesting will be the number of shares vested multiplied by the share price at vesting and may be higher than the award values below due to share price movements.
The maximum achievable long-term incentive awards for Executive Directors and Prescribed Officers are detailed below as values on the award date:
| Level | Maximum value of awards as % of TGCOE |
|---|---|
| CEO | 133% |
| CFO | 100% |
| PO | 100% |

REMUNERATION COMMITTEE REPORT (continued)
PART 2: THE REMUNERATION POLICY (continued)
SHARE AWARD POLICY UPDATES FOR THE 2025 FINANCIAL YEAR
-
Following the review of the remuneration policy described in the Background Statement of this report, the share award policy has been updated to optimise its effectiveness as a competitive remuneration element, to align with best practice, legal and regulatory requirements, shareholder returns and other stakeholder requirements. The share award policy includes Performance Share awards (PSA), as described in the LTI section above, and Deferred Share awards (DSA), as described in the STI section above.
-
Forfeitable Shares have been included in the policy to complement the conditional shares currently used. DSAs and PSAs can be delivered in the form of either forfeitable or conditional shares. Forfeitable shares are similar to conditional shares, except that they are acquired as soon as possible after the award, and are held by an escrow agent for the benefit of the participant until they vest. They are restricted and may not be disposed of until they vest or are forfeited in the case that applicable performance conditions or employment conditions are not met. Forfeitable shares are used by many large, well governed South African listed companies as an effective share award instrument because they are naturally hedged, provide an effective means of including dividends into share awards to fully align management with shareholder returns, and are better appreciated by employees who feel more like shareholders from day one.
-
Deferred Share awards (DSAs) will replace the BSP to implement the deferred portion of the annual STI, as well as to provide for sign-on awards for new employees to replace awards forfeited at their previous employer, and to make awards to a limited number of key employees below the executive committee level based on their performance and employee contribution appropriate for their roles.
-
The settlement method for the DSA and PSA awards will be limited to purchasing shares in the market, and neither treasury shares, nor issue of new shares will be used. This is to address dilution of shareholder interests and to ensure that share awards are funded from the operations of the company. This award is therefore non-dilutionary and does not require shareholder approval.
-
Dividends are paid on DSAs, when declared, because the applicable performance conditions have already been met before the award, and they are now only subject to continued employment in good standing, and to the malus and clawback policy. Dividends on unvested Performance Shares (PSA) will only be settled when and to the extent that the underlying award vests. This is to address the shareholder concern that dividends on share awards should not be paid to participants on performance awards until, and to the extent that performance has been delivered and measured.
-
In the case of fault terminations of employment (resignation, retirement before normal age and dismissal for disciplinary reasons), all unvested Deferred and Performance shares are forfeited, unless the Board determines otherwise.
-
In the case of no-fault termination of employment (retirement at normal age, death, disability, retrenchment or other appropriate reasons as approved by the remuneration committee) unvested Deferred and Performance shares will not be accelerated, and will vest on the original dates, with the Performance Shares subject to the original performance conditions. This is to require continued exposure to shareholder returns post-employment to encourage focus on sustainability and succession.
-
In the case of change of control or delisting, a time-prorated portion of the unvested awards will be accelerated to the transaction date, where this portion reflects the time served of the applicable employment period(s) and impact of applicable performance conditions. The balance of the unvested awards which do not vest early will continue in force under the original conditions, or may be replaced by awards of similar value and vesting conditions.
-
The minimum shareholding target levels will remain unchanged from the 2024 levels, however, the required shareholding may also be achieved by committing to hold DSAs and PSAs before they plan vest for a further period.
-
The performance conditions will remain aligned with the above policy commitments and further enhancements in response to shareholder concerns noted in the applicable sections.
-
The achievable variable pay, as a percentage of TGCOE, including cash STI, deferred STI and Performance Shares will remain the same as the 2024 levels, as disclosed in the following section.

PAY MIX
Using the components of total remuneration described previously, the following graphs illustrate the potential outcomes between minimum and maximum remuneration for the CEO, CFO and Prescribed Officers.
The pay-mix indicated in the charts below depicts the Minimum, Maximum and Target remuneration expressed as a percentage of TGCOE. The Target pay mix assumes that participants achieve 75% of the maximum STI, DSA and PSA awards respectively.
The charts show PSA and DSA awards separately. Dividends received on shares awarded are, however, not indicated since the actual dividends received vary based on actual dividend declarations in each year.
When comparing the pay-mix range shown to actual remuneration outcomes in the single figure reporting under Part 3, it should be noted that these figures are based on the face value at award, whereas the single figure reporting on remuneration paid to Executive Directors and Prescribed Officers in respect of the current and preceding years, includes actual value at vesting for the share awards, which reflects the share price at that time.

MPACT NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2024
PART 2: THE REMUNERATION POLICY (continued)
EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS' AND PRESCRIBED OFFICERS' POLICY ON LOSS OF OFFICE AND EXISTING SERVICE CONTRACTS
SERVICE CONTRACTS FOR NEW APPOINTMENTS
Executive Directors' service contracts provide for a maximum of six months' notice by either party. Employment contracts for Prescribed Officers provide for a maximum of three months' notice by either party. Service contracts for senior executives contain pay in lieu of notice provisions which may be invoked at the discretion of the committee if the company terminates the service contract. No discretionary incentives are paid to any employees where such employees are at fault/bad leavers.
Where appropriate, new appointments will be required to sign restraint of trade agreements on engagement.
EXISTING SERVICE CONTRACTS
Notice periods for executive management currently in office are indicated in the table below:
| Role | Notice period |
|---|---|
| CEO | Twelve months |
| CFO | Three months |
| PO | Between three and six months |
In the event of termination of employment, no executive managers have special termination benefits or balloon payment provisions in their employment contracts.
Upon termination of employment, the company may elect to make payment in lieu of notice.
Where a member of executive management has acquired an unconditional contractual right to remuneration and/or a specific incentive, it will be paid out on termination of employment. The payment of discretionary benefits will be considered on a case-by-case basis, in Mpact's discretion and in accordance with the rules applicable to the incentive concerned. Furthermore, it is noted that no discretionary incentives are paid to any employees where such employees are designated as ineligible employees.
MALUS AND CLAWBACK
Malus and clawback provisions apply to both the cash and share-based elements of both short-term and long-term incentive awards, for a period of three years from the date of settlement of an award in the case of clawback and at any time prior to vesting or settlement, in the case of malus.
The malus provisions may be applied by the Board where any of the following trigger events have occurred: material misstatement of financial results; information or the assessment of any performance condition(s) used to determine an award was based on a materially erroneous or inaccurate or fraudulent information; misstatement of performance; serious reputational damage; censure of Mpact by a regulatory authority; gross or serious misconduct; or a material failure of risk management. The clawback provisions may be applied where any of the following trigger events have occurred: material misstatement of financial results; or where information or the assessment of any performance condition(s) used to determine an award was based on a materially erroneous or inaccurate or fraudulent information.
MINIMUM SHAREHOLDING REQUIREMENTS (MSR)
The members of the executive committee are subject to a minimum shareholding requirements (MSR) policy, where they are required to build up unencumbered holdings of company shares to the value of:
| Chief Executive Officer | 2 x TGCOE |
|---|---|
| Executive Directors and Prescribed Officers | 1.5 x TGCOE |
| All other members of Mpact Exco | 1 x TGCOE |
Executives to whom this policy applies will have 5 years from the later of (i) 1 January 2024, or (ii) appointment date to the executive committee, in order to achieve compliance. Provided that in the case of (ii) compliance will be required by 31 December in the 6th (sixth) year following appointment to the Exco. The Compliance Period may be extended at the discretion of the RemCom should circumstances warrant such extension.
The executives may build up these holdings from shares held personally or for their sole economic benefit, or from share awards that they commit to hold for a further period after plan vesting. Unvested Performance Shares, that have not been committed nor performance measured, are not considered for this purpose, but unvested BSPs and Deferred Shares (DSAs) are included. The share price used to assess the value of the holdings will be the closing price on 31 December of the measurement year. The annual TGCOE on 31 December will also be used to assess compliance with the policy.

REMUNERATION COMMITTEE REPORT (continued)
PART 2: THE REMUNERATION POLICY (continued)
NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS' FEES
The fee structure for Non-executive Directors was designed to ensure that we attract, retain and appropriately compensate a diverse and experienced Board of Non-executive Directors.
Mpact engaged Vasdex Associates (Pty) Ltd in the first quarter of 2024 to conduct a benchmarking exercise to inform a review of its Non-Executive Directors' fees in 2024. The benchmarking was conducted by means of a peer group comparison, with 14 companies selected based on organisation size and nature of operation (similarity of industry).
The benchmarking exercise indicated that Mpact's Non-executive Directors were fairly remunerated and generally aligned to the median of the market for companies of comparative size, industry sector and market capitalisation.
More than 25% of Mpact's shareholders present at the 2024 AGM voted against the Non-executive Director fees. As a result, the Non-executive Directors could not be paid any fees for their service as an Mpact Limited Non-executive Director since 2 June 2022.
The company still requires that the Board continues to function to ensure effective management and good governance, as well as ongoing compliance with the JSE Listings Requirements. The Non-Executive Directors have therefore agreed to remain as directors of Mpact Limited for the time being. The composition and working of the existing Board committees will not be affected. This is despite the fact that the Non-Executive Directors will not be remunerated for their services to Mpact Limited until such remuneration is approved by a special resolution of Mpact Limited shareholders.
The company's main operating subsidiary is Mpact Operations Proprietary Limited (1998/004341/07) ("Mpact Operations"), which conducts the vast majority of the business and affairs of the broader Mpact Group. The NEDs have therefore been appointed to the Board of
Mpact Operations with effect from 23 September 2022 in which capacity they will continue to attend to the governance of Mpact Operations and its subsidiaries. In their capacity as Non-Executive Directors of Mpact Operations, they will be remunerated for services rendered to Mpact Operations.
The Board regards these steps as necessary to discharge its duties to maintain good governance within the broader Mpact Group, and to protect the interests of the company and all of its shareholders. The Board has engaged the JSE, along with its sponsor, and has taken legal advice regarding these steps taken.
FAIR AND RESPONSIBLE REMUNERATION
King IV™ emphasises executive remuneration which is fair and responsible "in context of the overall employee remuneration" and part of this responsibility is addressing the gap between the remuneration of executives and the employees at the lower end of the pay scale. The committee regards this as an important objective. Steps taken include:
- Lower mandated increase for executives compared to employees at the lower end of the pay scale.
- Ensuring total remuneration for executives comprises a higher variable pay based on performance.
VOTING STATEMENTS (NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTE ON THE REMUNERATION POLICY)
This Remuneration Policy is subject to an advisory vote by shareholders at the AGM on 5 June 2025. Shareholders are requested to cast a non-binding advisory vote on Part 2 of this Remuneration Report, as it appears above.

BONUS SHARE PLAN
Bonus shares granted in 2022 were released to participants still employed by Mpact at the vesting date which was 31 March 2025. There are no other performance conditions linked to the BSP.
PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN
The level of achievement against the performance criteria for the performance shares awarded in 2022 and vested in March 2025, based on three years' financial performance to the year ended 31 December 2024, was 39.9% determined as follows:

The summary consolidated financial statements of Mpact Limited, set out on pages 121 to 143, which comprise the summary consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2024, the summary consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and related notes, are derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Mpact Limited for the year ended 31 December 2024.
In our opinion, the accompanying summary consolidated financial statements are consistent, in all material respects, with the audited consolidated financial statements, in accordance with the requirements of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements for summary financial statements, as set out in note 1 to the summary consolidated financial statements, and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa as applicable to summary financial statements.
Summary consolidated financial statements
The summary consolidated financial statements do not contain all the disclosures required by IFRS Accounting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa as applicable to annual financial statements.

The summary consolidated financial statements and the audited consolidated financial statements do not reflect the effects of events that occurred subsequent to the date of our report on the audited consolidated financial statements.
The audited consolidated financial statements and our report thereon
We expressed an unmodified audit opinion on the audited consolidated financial statements in our report dated 7 March 2025. That report also includes communication of key audit matters. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period.
Director’s responsibility for the summary consolidated financial statements
The directors are responsible for the preparation of the summary consolidated financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements for summary financial statements, set out in note 1 to the summary consolidated financial statements, and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa as applicable to summary financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FORM OF PROXY
SUMMARY OF THE RIGHTS OF A SHAREHOLDER TO BE PRESENTED BY PROXY IN TERMS OF SECTION 58 OF THE COMPANIES ACT, READ WITH THE COMPANY'S MEMORANDUM OF INCORPORATION
- At any time, a shareholder may appoint any individual, including an individual who is not a shareholder of the Company, as a proxy to:
- participate in, and speak and vote at a shareholders' meeting on behalf of the shareholder, or
-
give or withhold written consent on behalf of the shareholder to a decision contemplated in section 60 of the Companies Act.
-
A shareholder of the Company may not appoint two or more persons concurrently as proxies.
-
A proxy may not delegate the proxy's authority to act on behalf of the shareholder to another person.
-
Irrespective of the form of instrument used to appoint a proxy, the appointment is suspended at any time and to the extent that the shareholder chooses to act directly and in person in the exercise of any rights as a shareholder; the appointment is revocable unless the proxy appointment expressly states otherwise; and if the appointment is revocable, a shareholder may revoke the proxy appointment by cancelling it in writing, or making a later inconsistent appointment of a proxy, and delivering a copy of the revocation instrument to the proxy and to the Company. The revocation of a proxy appointment constitutes a complete and final cancellation of the proxy's authority to act on behalf of the shareholder.
-
A registered shareholder may insert the name of a proxy or the names of two alternative proxies of the shareholder's choice in the space(s) provided overleaf, with or without deleting "the chairman of the AGM", but any such deletion must be initialled by the shareholder. Should this space be left blank, the proxy will be exercised by the chairman of the AGM. The person whose name appears first on the Form of Proxy and who is present at the AGM will be entitled to act as proxy to the exclusion of those whose names follow.
-
A shareholder's voting instructions to the proxy must be indicated by the insertion of an "X", or the number of votes exercisable by that shareholder, in the appropriate spaces provided overleaf. Failure to do so will be deemed to authorise the proxy to vote or to abstain from voting at the AGM as he/she thinks fit in respect of all the shareholder's exercisable votes. A shareholder or his/her proxy is not obliged to use all the votes exercisable by him/her or by his/her proxy, but the total number of votes cast, or those in respect of which abstention is recorded, may not exceed the total number of votes exercisable by the shareholder or by his/her proxy.
-
A minor must be assisted by his/her parent or guardian unless the relevant documents establishing his/her legal capacity are produced or have been registered by the transfer secretaries.
-
For administrative purposes only, the completed Forms of Proxy must be lodged with JSE Investor Services (Pty) Ltd, One Exchange Square, 2 Gwen Lane, Sandown, Sandton, 2196 or emailed to [email protected] to reach them 48 hours before the AGM, that is by Tuesday, 3 June 2025 at 13:00. Any Forms of Proxy not received by this time can be emailed to the transfer secretaries prior to the commencement of the AGM. Documentary evidence establishing the authority of a person signing the Form of Proxy in a representative capacity must be attached to the Form of Proxy prior to the proxy exercising a shareholder's right at the meeting, unless previously recorded or waived by the chairman of the AGM.
-
The proxy form must be dated and signed. The completion of any blank spaces overleaf need not be initialled. Any alterations or corrections to this Form of Proxy must be initialled by the signatory/ies.
-
The proxy appointment in terms of the Form of Proxy shall remain valid only until the end of the AGM held on Thursday, 5 June 2025 or at any adjournment thereof.
