ORDINARY RESOLUTION NUMBER 11
AMENDMENTS TO THE REX TRUEFORM GROUP INCENTIVE SCHEME
"Resolved that the amendments to the Rex Trueform Group Limited Incentive Scheme Rules (the "scheme rules") be and are hereby approved in the form of the amended scheme rules set out in Annexure B, with effect from the date of this resolution."
REASON FOR AND EFFECT OF ORDINARY RESOLUTION NUMBER 11
Schedule 14 of the JSE Listings Requirements ("Schedule 14") governs share option schemes and share incentive schemes involving the issue of equity securities (including options) by an issuer (or trusts or special purpose vehicles formed for this purpose) to, or for the benefit of, employees and other persons involved in the business of the issuer group and which result in a dilution of the shareholding of equity securities holders in the issuer. This includes the issue of equity securities from the issuer's authorised, but unissued, share capital, as well as the use of equity securities held as treasury shares. Schedule 14 is applicable to the scheme rules. The scheme rules were originally approved in terms of Schedule 14.
The board proposes certain amendments to the scheme rules. A summary of the principal terms of the amendments that require shareholder approval in terms of Schedule 14 is set out below.
The amendments to the scheme rules include:
- Clause 6 (Vesting and settlement of Awards): amendments relating to (i) the liability for certain costs and taxes in relation to vested options and awards, (ii) the formula for calculating the number of settlement shares to be delivered to participants, and (iii) specifying the settlement mechanisms available for the discharge of a participant's tax liability which include the payment of cash, deduction from a participant's salary or by the sale of a portion of the settlement shares;
- Clause 10 (Variations in the share capital of the company): amendments relating to the events of variation of the share capital of the company which will require adjustments to the number of shares which may be utilised in the plan, or the share award price or option price;
- Definitions: the insertion of definitions relating to the above amendments to clause 6.
It is considered more appropriate to replace the scheme rules in its entirety rather than to amend the existing scheme rules. The proposed share incentive scheme rules are set out in Annexure B. The amendments will be effective on and as from the date on which they are approved by shareholders.
This ordinary resolution number 11 will only be effective if passed by a majority of 75% (seventy-five percent) or more of the votes cast by all shareholders present or represented by proxy, excluding all the votes attaching to all equity securities owned or controlled by persons who are existing participants in the scheme. Only the equity securities which have been acquired in terms of the relevant scheme and may be impacted by the changes will be excluded from the said vote.
The scheme rules, marked up for ease of reference, will lie for inspection at the company's registered office during normal business hours from the date of publication of the notice of annual general meeting up to the date of the annual general meeting.

SPECIAL RESOLUTION NUMBER 1
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
"Resolved, to the extent required by the Companies Act, that the board of directors of the company may, subject to compliance with the requirements of the company's Memorandum of Incorporation, the Companies Act and the JSE Listings Requirements, each as presently constituted and as amended from time to time, authorise the company to provide direct or indirect financial assistance including (without limitation) by way of loan, guarantee, the provision of security or otherwise, to a director or prescribed officer of the company or of a related or inter-related company, and/or to any other company or entity (irrespective of where any such entity may be incorporated) that is or becomes related or inter-related to the company or any of its subsidiaries, and/or to any member of such subsidiary or related or inter-related company or entity, on such terms and conditions as the board deem fit for any purpose or in connection with any matter, including, but not limited to, the subscription for any option, or any securities issued or to be issued by the company or a related or inter-related company or entity, or for the purchase of any securities of the company or a related or inter-related company or entity, for such amounts and on such terms and conditions as the directors of the company may determine, such authority to endure until the annual general meeting of the company for the financial year ended 30 June 2027. Nothing in this approval will limit the provision by the company of financial assistance that does not require approval by way of a special resolution of the shareholders in terms of sections 44 and 45 of the Companies Act or falls within the exemptions contained in any of these sections."
REASONS FOR AND EFFECT OF SPECIAL RESOLUTION NUMBER 1
This authority is necessary to enable the company to provide financial assistance, in appropriate circumstances and if the need arises, in accordance with section 45 of the Companies Act. It is confirmed that the board of directors of the company may not authorise the provision of any financial assistance pursuant to this special resolution unless they are satisfied that the terms under which the financial assistance is proposed to be given are fair and reasonable to the company and that, immediately after providing the financial assistance, the company would satisfy the solvency and liquidity test contemplated in the Companies Act. The reason for, and effect of, special resolution number 1 is accordingly to permit the company to provide direct or indirect financial assistance (within the meaning attributed to that term in section 45 of the Companies Act) to the entities and persons referred to in special resolution number 1 above.
SPECIAL RESOLUTION NUMBER 2
APPROVAL OF NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS' FEES
"Resolved to approve the annual value-added tax inclusive remuneration to be paid to the non-executive directors of the company for the period from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2027 or until renewal, whichever is the earliest, details of which are as follows:
| R | |

| Lead independent director | 194,040.00 |
| Director | 169,785.00 |

| Chairperson of the social and ethics committee | 38,808.00 |
| Member of the social and ethics committee | 31,531.50 |
| Chairperson of the retirement fund | 58,212.00 |
REASON FOR AND EFFECT OF SPECIAL RESOLUTION NUMBER 2
In terms of section 66(8) of the Companies Act, the company may, inter alia, remunerate its directors for their services as directors. Furthermore, section 66(9) provides that such remuneration may only be paid by the company in accordance with a special resolution approved by shareholders within the previous two years.
The effect of this special resolution is that the non-executive directors will be entitled to receive the fees so approved on an annual basis for the period 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2027 or until renewal, whichever is the earlier.
It is recorded that the remuneration of the non-executive directors is inclusive of value-added tax (if any) and further that the remuneration of non-executive directors is reviewed on an annual basis.
{5}------------------------------------------------
SPECIAL RESOLUTION NUMBER 3
ALLOTMENT AND ISSUE OF SHARES TO DIRECTORS AND PRESCRIBED OFFICERS
"Resolved that, to the extent required by section 41(1) of the Companies Act and subject to the passing of ordinary resolution number 7 above, the board may, subject to compliance with the requirements of the Memorandum of Incorporation and the Companies Act, authorise the company to allot and issue "N" ordinary shares to directors, future directors, prescribed officers (if any) and future prescribed officers of the company pursuant to the Rex Trueform Group Limited Incentive Scheme."
REASONS FOR AND EFFECT OF SPECIAL RESOLUTION NUMBER 3
The company would like to be able to allot and issue "N" ordinary shares to directors and prescribed officers (if any) pursuant to the Rex Trueform Group Limited Incentive Scheme.
SPECIAL RESOLUTION NUMBER 4
AMENDMENTS TO THE MEMORANDUM OF INCORPORATION
"Resolved that, in terms of section 16(1)(c) read with section 16(5)(a) of the Companies Act and subject to the approval of the holders of the Preference Shares at a separate meeting of preference shareholders, the adoption of the new Memorandum of Incorporation of the company as set out in Annexure C be and is hereby approved."
REASON FOR AND EFFECT OF SPECIAL RESOLUTION 4
In terms of section 16(1)(c) read with section 16(5)(a) of the Companies Act, the board proposes that shareholders approve an alteration to the existing Memorandum of Incorporation of the company by replacing the document in its entirety to align the provisions thereof with the requirements of the Companies Act, as amended by the Companies Amendment Act, to remove any historical provisions in the Memorandum of Incorporation that are no longer applicable, and to amend the preference share terms contained in the Memorandum of Incorporation in order to, inter alia, amend the terms of the preference shares in order to provide for the redemption of the preference shares. Further, changes to the JSE Listings Requirements and developments in market practice require a substantial number of changes to the existing Memorandum of Incorporation. Accordingly, it is considered more appropriate to replace the Memorandum of Incorporation in its entirety rather than to amend the existing Memorandum of Incorporation. The proposed Memorandum of Incorporation is set out in Annexure C. The new Memorandum of Incorporation will substitute the company's existing Memorandum of Incorporation in its entirety. A copy of the amended Memorandum of Incorporation, marked up for ease of reference, will lie for inspection at the company's registered office during normal business hours from the date of publication of the notice of annual general meeting up to the date of the annual general meeting.
In order for the above special resolutions to be adopted, the support of at least 75% (seventy-five percent) of the total number of votes exercised by shareholders, present in person or by proxy, is required.
COMPANIES ACT CONSIDERATIONS
CONTROL OVER UNISSUED SHARES
As part of the proposed amendments, the Memorandum of Incorporation is being revised to simplify the approvals required for the issue of shares. Following the amendment, the unissued shares of the company will remain under the control of the directors subject to the Companies Act and the Listings Requirements, and the requirement to obtain shareholder approval annually for this purpose will be removed.
This amendment seeks to reduce the administrative burden and to provide a more practical and streamlined approach to the governance of share issues.
{6}------------------------------------------------
GENERAL SEGMENT CONSIDERATIONS
GENERAL AUTHORITY TO ISSUE EQUITY SHARES FOR CASH
In terms of paragraph 4.62(c) of the JSE Listings Requirements, where a company is listed on the general segment, a general authority to issue shares for cash does not require shareholders' approval, provided it does not exceed 10% of the issuer's issued share capital, as at the date of each annual general meeting. Hence, no resolution has been included in this notice of annual general meeting. Subject to the approval of ordinary resolution 7 in terms of which the authorised but unissued ordinary and "N" ordinary shares are placed under the control of the board until the next annual general meeting, the board may allot and issue up to 376,301 (three hundred and seventy six thousand three hundred and one) ordinary shares (excluding treasury shares) of the issued ordinary shares of the company as at the date of this notice and/or up to 1,820,764 (one million eight hundred and twenty thousand seven hundred and sixty four) "N" ordinary shares (excluding treasury shares), of the issued "N" ordinary shares of the company as at the date of this notice, for cash as they in their discretion deem fit, subject to compliance with the remaining provisions of paragraph 5.52 of the JSE Listings Requirements that are applicable in respect of an issue of shares for cash.
Shareholders are accordingly notified in accordance with paragraph 4.62(c) of the Listings Requirements that the validity of the company's previous general authority to issue shares for cash, as approved by shareholders at the previous annual general meeting held on 12 November 2024, will expire with effect from the date of this annual general meeting whereafter the automatic annual rolling general authority to issue shares for cash may be applied by the company.
GENERAL AUTHORITY TO ACQUIRE SHARES
In terms of paragraph 4.62(e) of the JSE Listings Requirements, where a company is listed on the general segment, a general authority to repurchase shares for cash does not require shareholders' approval in terms of paragraph 5.72(c) of the JSE Listings Requirements. Hence, no resolution has been included in this annual general meeting notice. To the extent that the company undertakes a repurchase of shares under its general authority, the company will comply with the remaining provisions of paragraph 5.72 of the JSE Listings Requirements that are applicable in respect of a general authority to repurchase shares.
Shareholders are accordingly notified in accordance with paragraph 4.62(e) of the Listings Requirements that the validity of the company's previous general authority to acquire shares, as approved by shareholders at the previous annual general meeting held on 12 November 2024, will expire with effect from the date of this annual general meeting whereafter the automatic annual general authority to acquire shares may now be applied by the company.
QUORUM
The quorum for:
- the annual general meeting to begin, is sufficient persons present at the annual general meeting to exercise, in aggregate, at least 25% (twenty-five percent) of all of the voting rights that are entitled to be exercised in respect of at least one matter to be decided at the meeting; and
- a matter to begin to be considered at the annual general meeting, is sufficient persons present at the annual general meeting to exercise, in aggregate, at least 25% (twenty-five percent) of all of the voting rights that are entitled to be exercised on that matter at the time the matter is called on the agenda.

Shareholders who have dematerialised their shares through a Central Securities Depository Participant ("CSDP") or broker, other than "own-name" registered dematerialised shareholders, who wish to attend the annual general meeting, must request that their CSDP or broker issue them with a letter of representation. Should shareholders who have dematerialised their shares wish to vote by proxy, they must provide their CSDP or broker with their voting instructions in terms of the custody agreement entered into between the dematerialised shareholder and their CSDP or broker.

A Word from our
Financial Director

The 2025 financial year was defined by resilience amid persistent economic headwinds. The group delivered a credible performance, returning to profitability, supported by the strength of its diversified portfolio. While revenue declined slightly by 1.9% to R873.6 million (2024: R890.6 million), the gross profit margin improved to 54.9% (2024: 46.2%), and profit after tax increased to R31.1 million (2024: R0.6 million).
We remained focused on safeguarding liquidity and prioritising investments aligned with our long-term strategy. The group remains well capitalised, with sufficient cash resources to meet its debt obligations as they fall due.
This review of the group's consolidated financial performance for the year ended 30 June 2025 should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements, the five-year review, and the business segment reviews. Further detail is provided in the financial statements and on pages 72 to 78 of this report.
SEGMENT PERFORMANCE
RETAIL (QUEENSPARK)
Trading in the first half of the year remained challenging due to ongoing consumer pressures. These pressures eased in the second half, following multiple interest rate cuts, lower inflation, and relief from load-shedding. Revenue for Queenspark was R663.0 million (2024: R696.1 million), while gross profit increased to R357.5 million (2024: R321.3 million), reflecting the group's focus on margin enhancement.
We continued to refine the store footprint, opening three new stores, relocating six, and closing six, resulting in a total trading area of 22.238m². Our focus remains on improving trading densities and strengthening the brand's positioning with our core customer base.
Operating profit rose to R39.0 million (2024: R1.7 million), highlighting the benefits of disciplined cost management and sourcing efficiencies. Tightening stock management and enhancing sourcing disciplines will remain core priorities in the year ahead.
{64}------------------------------------------------
MEDIA AND BROADCASTING (TELEMEDIA AND OTHERS)
Our media and broadcasting operations, led by Telemedia, delivered stable results, underpinned by long-standing client relationships and ongoing demand for quality broadcast services. Revenue for the year was R103.6 million (2024: R108.2 million). The segment is well-positioned to capture opportunities in broadcasting and media services while leveraging technology to drive operational efficiency.
WATER INFRASTRUCTURE (SA WATER WORKS AND RELATED INVESTMENTS)
The group's water services investments are anchored by long-term concession contracts. Our share of losses from associates was R4.7 million (2024: R1.5 million). The group realised significant cash inflows through loan repayments from SA Water Works, totalling R40.0 million (2024: R19.7 million), which facilitated loan repayments of R21.3 million (2024: R8.1 million) to 27 Four Life, the funding partner for the SA Water Works transaction. We remain focused on maximising value from existing concessions while evaluating opportunities to expand our presence in this strategically important sector.
PROPERTY
Our property portfolio continued to deliver predictable income, supported by high occupancy levels and resilient valuations. Rental income grew to R61.5 million (2024: R59.0 million). We invested in refurbishments and upgrades, including the completion of The Queen in Wynberg and installation of solar power at the Rex Trueform Office Park in Salt River and the Queenspark distribution and warehousing facility in Epping. Refurbishment of the Rex Trueform factory in Salt River commenced during the second half of the year.
The market value of the property portfolio increased by 19.0% to R681.7 million (2024: R572.7 million). Property remains a core pillar of the group's diversification strategy, providing stability alongside more cyclical businesses.
TECHNOLOGY
Technology is an emerging growth pillar for the group. In FY2025, our share of losses from associates in this segment was R0.5 million (2024: Rnil), reflecting ongoing investments in digital products and software development. These initiatives offer future revenue growth opportunities and provide strategic optionality to adapt to evolving markets and consumer behaviour.
GROUP FINANCIAL POSITION AND OUTLOOK
Looking ahead, our focus remains on strengthening the group's financial resilience, supporting sustainable growth, and ensuring that capital is allocated in a disciplined and value-accretive manner. We will continue to leverage digital tools to improve efficiency and insights, enhance the quality of reporting for decision-making, and uphold strong governance as a foundation for long-term value creation.
Gratitude is extended to the directors and all employees across the group for their support during the 2025 financial year. The finance team's dedication and professionalism are reflected in these results, as well as in the strengthening culture of accountability and collaboration across the group.

EVENTS AFTER REPORTING DATE
WATER SEGMENT
During 2015, Siza Water (RF) Proprietary Limited ("Siza Water"), an indirect subsidiary of SA Water Works Holding Company (RF) Proprietary Limited (associate of the group), raised a tariff dispute against Umngeni Water and the Minister of Water and Sanitation, when they increased Siza Water's bulk water tariff with 37.9%. Umngeni Water and the Minister of Water and Sanitation lost their case in the KwaZulu-Natal High Court and their appeal in the Supreme Court of Appeal. Both parties approached the Constitutional Court of South Africa for leave to appeal. On 5 February 2020, the Constitutional Court of South Africa dismissed Umngeni Water's application for leave to appeal, with costs. Thereafter the company and Umngeni Water signed a full and final settlement agreement based on the lower bulk water tariff covering the period 1 July 2015 to 31 May 2020 and it was agreed to release the funds held in escrow.
The Constitutional Court allowed Umngeni Water to present their case with the Minister's application, which was heard on 10 November 2020. On 23 July 2021 the Constitutional Court overturned the decisions of the High Court as well as Supreme Court of Appeal to rule that Umngeni Water's tariff was enforceable. Siza Water have reflected the higher tariff in our financial statements. The Constitutional Court made no reference to the full and final settlement that was concluded based on the lower bulk water tariff covering the period 1 July 2015 to 31 May 2020. The amount in dispute is R127.7 million excluding VAT and income taxes. Accordingly, Siza Water has reached a negotiated settlement with Umngeni Water to resolve the dispute in full. In accordance with a legal opinion obtained from the Siza Water's legal counsel, the settlement agreement remains valid and accordingly the demands made by Umngeni Water have no legal basis. In terms of the agreement concluded on 10 July 2025, Siza Water agreed to pay a final settlement amount of R50.2 million (comprising R45 million in settlement of the disputed balance as at 30 June 2024, and R5.2 million in legal fees). The payment was made on 16 July 2025. The outcome of this case may have an impact on future dividends. As the legal obligation was confirmed after the reporting date, Siza Water has treated this as a non-adjusting event after period end.
In 2019, Buhle Waste Proprietary Limited instituted proceedings out of the Mpumalanga High Court, in terms of which it sought an order setting aside (i) the decision taken by the City of Mbombela Municipality to consent to the Change in Control request presented by Silulumanzi (RF) Proprietary Limited ("Silulumanzi"), an indirect subsidiary of SA Water Works Holdings (RF) Proprietary Limited ("SAWWH") (associate of the group) to the Municipality, and (ii) the agreement concluded by the Municipality and Silulumanzi (RF) (Pty) Ltd on 14 November 2018, in terms of which the consent decision was given effect to and be formally recorded. Silulumanzi, SA Water Works (RF) Proprietary Limited ("SAWW") and SAWWH have opposed the application. This Mpumalanga Divisional High Court matter which included six other respondents (including Silulumanzi) under case number 2640/2019, was heard on 26 May 2022. On 17 August 2022 judgement was handed down which had the effect of setting aside the transfer of Silulumanzi and SA Water Works Utilities Proprietary Limited shares to SAWWH and Brain Gear Investments (RF) (Pty) Ltd. An application for leave to appeal was heard by the same High Court on 8 September 2022 which was consequently dismissed with costs. The Buhle Waste (Pty) Ltd versus the City of Mbombela and other respondents (including SAWWH) court case is still ongoing. The Supreme Court of Appeal ("SCA") has granted leave to appeal. In addition to leave being granted the costs order of the Court a quo in dismissing the application for leave to appeal has been set aside and the costs of the application for leave to appeal to the SCA and the Court a quo costs will be costs in the SCA appeal. The Notice of Appeal has been lodged and the record of the proceeding was submitted on 30 June 2023. The Heads of Argument, amongst other ancillary compliance, was filed on 16 August 2023. A hearing was held on 20 August 2024 and judgement was handed down on 5 December 2024. The SCA appeal was upheld in part, and paragraphs 118.3 to 118.7 of the order of the High Court was set aside. Save as aforesaid, the SCA appeal was dismissed with costs, including the costs of two counsel where so employed. On 27 January 2025, an application for leave to appeal was submitted by Silulumanzi to the Constitutional Court of SA. On 3 July 2025, the Court agreed to hear the application for leave to appeal.
{70}------------------------------------------------
Management has considered the impact of the legal case as noted above on the recoverability of the group's net investment in SAWWH. The appeal to the Constitutional Court is to effect settlement of this case and to have the company operate under the concession agreement for the remaining period and while this appeal is ongoing the company is operating as normal and the case is expected to take more than 12 months to conclude. The lawyers are of the view that there are reasonable prospects of success for the leave to appeal to succeed.
TECHNOLOGY SEGMENT
The company concluded a sale of shares agreement on 26 August 2025 in terms of which the company will increase its stake in Byte Orbit Proprietary Limited ("Byte Orbit") from 30.02% to 51.02%, with the key investment in technology intangible assets. For additional information, refer to note 8. In terms of the sale agreement, the company acquired a further 21% equity interest in Byte Orbit by acquiring 2,047 Byte Orbit ordinary shares on 1 September 2025 from a majority shareholder of Byte Orbit, being Amit Ramdath, for a purchase consideration of R21,000,000. The company obtained control of Byte Orbit on 1 September 2025. The consideration will be satisfied through the company issuing 1,694,915 new "N" ordinary shares at an issue price of R12.39 per share, calculated at the volume weighted average price per share, as quoted on the JSE, as at the close of trading on 22 August 2025. The initial accounting for the business combination is incomplete at the date of this report as the purchase price allocation has not yet been finalised.
All events subsequent to the date of the consolidated and separate annual financial statements and for which the applicable financial reporting framework requires adjustment or disclosure have been adjusted or disclosed.
The directors are not aware of any other matter or circumstance arising since the end of the financial year to the date of this report that could have a material effect on the financial position of the company.
GOING CONCERN
The consolidated and separate annual financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting policies applicable to a going concern. This basis presumes that funds will be available to finance future operations and that the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities, contingent obligations and commitments will occur in the ordinary course of business.
The company's current liabilities exceed its current assets by R3.7 million (2024: current assets exceed current liabilities R25.1 million). The company has an unutilised bank facility available of R17.4 million secured by one of the company's properties, which can be utilised to address any short-term cash shortfalls. There are no restrictions on the use of the facility.
The group is sufficiently capitalised and has sufficient cash resources to settle debts as they fall due. Cash and cash equivalents held by the group as at 30 June 2025 amounted to R66.2 million (2024: R48.2 million).
In April 2025 the United States announced increased export tariffs that are expected to have a global impact across various sectors. While the group has limited exposure to U.S. export markets—primarily through a small number of tenants engaged in trade with the U.S. the overall impact on the group is expected to be minimal.
