FRACTIONAL ENTITLEMENTS ARISING FROM THE SCHEME

  1. INTRODUCTION

Capitalised words and phrases in this announcement shall, unless the context indicates otherwise, bear the same meanings ascribed thereto in the combined offer circular published by RFG and Premier which was issued on Thursday, 13 November 2025.

RFG Shareholders are referred to the joint finalisation announcement published by RFG and Premier on the Stock Exchange News Service on Thursday, 12 March 2026, containing the timetable for implementation of the Scheme ("Finalisation Announcement").

Implementation of the Scheme will result in the issue of Premier Shares, in the ratio of 1 Premier Share for every 7 RFG Shares. The Share Swap Ratio is based on a reference price of R22.00 per RFG Share and a reference price of R154.00 per Premier Share.

  1. FRACTIONAL ENTITLEMENTS

Where a Scheme Participant's entitlement to the Scheme Consideration results in a fractional entitlement to Premier Shares, its entitlement to Scheme Consideration Shares will be rounded down to the nearest whole number and such Scheme Participant will receive the Scheme Consideration Cash in respect of such fractional entitlement.

Notwithstanding the definition of the Scheme Consideration Cash in the Circular, the Scheme Consideration Cash is calculated in accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements as the VWAP at which a Premier Share trades on the Scheme LDT + 1, being Wednesday, 25 March 2026, less 10%, multiplied by the fractional entitlement of a Scheme Participant. Scheme Participants are advised that the VWAP on the Scheme LDT + 1 amounted to 17 750 cents. Accordingly, the amount to be used to determine the Scheme Consideration Cash in respect of fractional entitlements (being the aforementioned VWAP less 10%) is 15 975 cents.

The Scheme Consideration Cash in respect of fractional entitlements will be paid to Scheme Participants in accordance with the timetable set out in the Finalisation Announcement.
