  • 23.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Allocation, Award or Grant, whether or not Vested, Exercised or Settled, shall lapse or be reduced, in part or in whole (and the relevant portion recovered from a Participant to the extent already Settled), if the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that a Participant (whether currently employed by the Group or not) has committed an act which would justify summary dismissal in terms of any Applicable Law, or that a Participant has committed any act which is detrimental to the Group, which acts shall include, but not be limited to –

  • 23.2.1 a material mis-statement of financial results;

  • 23.2.2 misconduct, incompetence, fraud and/or dishonesty;

  • 23.2.3 negligence or material breach of the Participant’s obligations to the Group;

  • 23.2.4 deliberate harm to the Group’s reputation; and

  • 23.2.5 a material failure in relation to risk management.”

Page 2 Tiger Brands Limited Notice of annual general meeting of shareholders 2018

Explanation and effect of ordinary resolution number 6:

The 2013 Share Plan was adopted by the shareholders of the Company on or about 12 February 2013. Clause 23.2 of the 2013 Share Plan currently provides for an Allocation, Award or Grant, whether Vested or not, to lapse if the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that the Participant has committed an act which would justify dismissal in terms of any Applicable Law or that a Participant has committed an act which is detrimental to the Group. The effect of the existing clause 23.2 and the power of the Board in these circumstances is binary in nature. The Board must either determine that the relevant Allocation, Award or Grant shall have lapsed or not. There is no scope to reduce the Allocation, Award or Grant in a manner commensurate to the relevant act or offence of the Participant in question. Accordingly, the Board has determined that, in order to avoid the disproportionate and/or inequitable consequences (for the Participant or the Group, as the case may be) that may result from the application of clause 23.2 in its current form, the Board, acting through the Remuneration Committee should have greater flexibility to reduce an Allocation, Award or Grant to an appropriate level as justified by the circumstances in question. It is for this reason that the amendment in ordinary resolution number 6 above has been proposed. If approved, the effect will be to grant the necessary flexibility to the Board and the Remuneration Committee in order to better achieve the purposes of the 2013 Share Plan, as set out in accordance with clause 2 of the 2013 Share Plan and, in particular, the Board will be able to take into account the central tenets of the “Clawback and Malus” policy as summarised on page 83 of the report of the Remuneration Committee that will be implemented by the Group. It is intended that this amendment, if approved, will apply to all allocations, awards and grants made on or after 1 October 2018 and will not affect the Vested rights of any Participant as at the date of adoption without their prior written consent.”

In terms of clause 30 of the 2013 Share Plan the Board has the power to amend the provisions of the 2013 Share Plan, subject to the prior approval (if required) of the securities exchange on which the shares of the Company are listed for the time being and provided that no amendment to the provisions of the 2013 Share Plan relating to “the basis of Allocations, Awards and Grants” in terms of the Rules of the 2013 Share Plan shall be competent unless it is approved by an ordinary resolution passed by at least 75% of the total votes of shareholders represented at a general meeting of the Company, excluding all of the votes attached to the shares owned and controlled by existing participants of the 2013 Share Plan. Accordingly, although this is proposed as an ordinary resolution, it requires a 75% majority approval in order to be valid in accordance with clause 30 of the 2013 Share Plan and in accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements. If approved, the effect of the resolution will be to amend clause 23.2 of the 2013 Share Plan as set out above.

PART C – NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTES

9. Ordinary resolution number 7 – approval of the remuneration policy

To consider and endorse by way of a non-binding advisory vote, the Company’s remuneration policy, as set out on pages 76 to 86 of the 2018 integrated report. The King IV Report on Corporate Governance for South Africa 2016 (King IV) and the Listings Requirements require that a separate non-binding advisory vote should be obtained from shareholders on the Company’s remuneration policy. This vote enables shareholders to express their views on the Company’s remuneration policy adopted.

7 “RESOLVED THAT, the remuneration policy as set out in the 2018 integrated report be and is hereby approved.”

10. Ordinary resolution number 8 – endorsement of the implementation report of the remuneration policy

To consider and endorse by way of a non-binding advisory vote, the implementation report of the Company’s remuneration policy, as set out on pages 87 to 100 of the 2018 integrated report. King IV and the Listings Requirements require that a separate non-binding advisory vote should be obtained from shareholders on the implementation report of the Company’s remuneration policy. This vote enables shareholders to express their views on the extent of implementation of the Company’s remuneration policy.

8 “RESOLVED THAT, the implementation report of the remuneration policy for the year ended 30 September 2018 be and is hereby approved.”

PART D – SPECIAL RESOLUTIONS

11. Special resolution number 1 – financial assistance to related and inter-related companies

“RESOLVED THAT the board of directors of the Company (the board) may, subject to compliance with the requirements of the Company’s memorandum of incorporation, the Companies Act, and the Listings Requirements, where applicable, (including but not limited to the board being satisfied that immediately after providing the financial assistance, the Company would satisfy the solvency and liquidity test (as contemplated in section 4 of the Companies Act) and that the terms under which the financial assistance is proposed to be given are fair and reasonable to the Company), authorise the provision by the Company, from time to time during the period of 2 (two) years commencing on the date of approval of this special resolution, of direct or indirect financial assistance, (including without limitation by way of a loan, guarantee of a loan, subordination of a loan/claim or other obligation or the securing of a debt or other obligation), as envisaged in section 45 of the Companies Act, to any 1 (one) or more related or inter-related companies or corporations of the Company and/or to any 1 (one) or more members of any such related or interrelated company or corporation related to any such company or corporation as outlined in section 2 of the Companies Act, for any purpose in the normal course of business of the Company, on such terms and conditions as the board may deem fit. This resolution does not authorise financial assistance to a director or a prescribed officer or any Company or person related to a director or prescribed officer.”

Reasons for and effect of special resolution number 1

The main purpose for this authority is to grant the board the authority to enable the Company to provide financial assistance, when the need arises, to the potential recipients envisaged in the special resolution in accordance with the provisions of section 45 of the Companies Act. The Company may not provide the financial assistance contemplated in section 45 of the Companies Act without a special resolution. The above resolution provides the board with the authority to allow the Company to provide direct or indirect financial assistance, including but without limitation by way of the provision of warranties or the provision of indemnities or a loan, guaranteeing of a loan or other obligation or securing of a debt or other obligation, to the recipients contemplated in special resolution number 1.

It is difficult to foresee the exact details of the nature of financial assistance that the Company may be required to provide over the next 2 (two) years. It is essential, however, that the Company is able to organise effectively its internal financial administration. The general authority in special resolution number 1 will allow the Company to continue to grant financial assistance to the relevant parties in appropriate circumstances.

For these reasons and because it would be impracticable and difficult to obtain shareholder approval every time the Company wishes to provide financial assistance as contemplated above, it is necessary to obtain the approval of shareholders, as set out in special resolution number 1. If approved, this general authority will expire at the end of 2 (two) years from the date on which this resolution is approved. It is, however, the intention to renew the authority annually at each AGM of shareholders.

12. Special resolution number 2 – approval of remuneration payable to non-executive directors and the chairman

To approve, by way of separate resolutions, the remuneration payable to non-executive directors and the Chairman as outlined below:

  • 2.1 “RESOLVED THAT the remuneration payable to non-executive directors be increased to R418 173 per annum.”
2018 fee* 2019 proposed fee*
R398 260 R418 173
  • 2.2 “RESOLVED THAT the remuneration payable to the chairman of the board be increased to R1 941 990 per annum.”
“RESOLVED THAT the remuneration payable to the chairman of the board be increased to R1 941 990 per annum.”

R1 849 515 R1 941 990

* These amounts are exclusive of VAT. For clarity, to the extent that VAT is applicable, the Company is authorised to pay the VAT thereon in addition to the proposed remuneration

The above remuneration under special resolutions 2.1 and 2.2 is to be effective from 1 March 2019 and to be paid quarterly in arrears.

Page 4 Tiger Brands Limited Notice of annual general meeting of shareholders 2018

13. Special resolution number 3 – approval of remuneration payable to non-executive directors participating in sub-committees

“RESOLVED THAT the payments to non-executive directors who participate in the sub-committees of the board be approved as outlined hereunder:

* These amounts are exclusive of VAT. For clarity, to the extent that VAT is applicable, the Company is authorised to pay the VAT thereon in addition to the proposed remuneration.

The above remuneration is to be effective from 1 March 2019 and to be paid quarterly in arrears.

Reasons for and effect of special resolutions numbers 2 and 3

The reason for proposing special resolutions numbers 2 and 3 is to increase the remuneration paid to non-executive directors, in respect of services rendered as directors in terms of section 66 of the Companies Act, so as to ensure that such remuneration remains market-related and accords with the increasing level of responsibility being placed upon directors.

The proposed remuneration was accepted by the board after a recommendation of the remuneration committee which considered the quantum of fees being paid to non-executive directors and to the Chairman of similar-sized listed companies.

The remuneration committee, with input from management, benchmarked the fees currently payable with those payable by similar-sized companies in order to determine market related fees.

The chairman of the board does not receive any additional remuneration for participation in the sub-committees of the board.

14. Special resolution number 4 – approval of remuneration payable to non-executive directors in respect of unscheduled meetings

“RESOLVED THAT non-executive directors be paid an amount of R22 103 per meeting in respect of special meetings of the board”.

* These amounts are exclusive of VAT. For clarity, to the extent that VAT is applicable, the Company is authorised to pay the VAT thereon in addition to the proposed remuneration.

Reasons for and effect of special resolution number 4

From time to time, directors may be called upon to attend unscheduled meetings as part of the fulfilment of their role as directors of the Company. It is considered fair that directors should be compensated for the attendance of such meetings.

15. Special resolution number 5 – approval of remuneration payable to non-executive directors in respect of extraordinary additional work undertaken

  • These amounts are exclusive of VAT. For clarity, to the extent that VAT is applicable, the Company is authorised to pay the VAT thereon in addition to the proposed remuneration.

Reasons for and effect of special resolution number 5

In performing their duties as directors of the Company, the non-executive directors may be required to undertake additional work as part of their normal duties. However, should in exceptional and extraordinary circumstances hourly fees be required to be paid, from a governance point of view it is considered appropriate that the Chief Executive Officer determine whether such additional fees may be warranted.

16. Special resolution number 6 – approval of non-resident directors’ fees

“RESOLVED THAT fees payable to directors who are non-resident of South Africa will be 130% higher than the fees payable to directors who are resident in South Africa, as outlined in special resolutions number 2, 3, 4 and 5.”

This resolution is conditional upon special resolutions 2, 3, 4 and 5 being passed.

Michael Ajukwu and Gail Klintworth are currently the only directors who are not residents of South Africa. Michael Ajukwu is also a member of the Risk and Sustainability committee. In the event of this resolution being passed, they will individually receive a fee of R961 798 as directors and Mr Ajukwu will receive R340 629 as a member of the Risk and Sustainability committee.

The proposed remuneration adjustment is effective 1 March 2019.

Reasons for and effect of special resolution number 6

The proposed remuneration payable to non-resident, non-executive directors was determined after taking into account market benchmarking of fees being paid to non-resident, non-executive directors in similar-sized listed companies.

The remuneration committee has considered the proposed remuneration and the board has accepted the recommendations of the remuneration committee.

17. Special resolution number 7 – general authority to repurchase shares in the Company

“RESOLVED THAT, the Company and/or any subsidiary of the Company is hereby authorised, by way of a general authority, from time to time, to acquire the Company’s own ordinary shares upon such terms and conditions and in such amounts as the directors of the Company, and, in the case of an acquisition by a subsidiary(ies), the directors of the subsidiary(ies), may from time to time decide, but subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, the Listings Requirements and the MOI, and subject to the following conditions:

  • 17.1 That this authority shall be valid until the next annual general meeting of the Company, or for 15 (fifteen) months from the date of passing of this resolution, whichever period is shorter;

  • 17.2 That any repurchases of shares in terms of this authority be effected through the order book operated by the JSE trading system and done without any prior understanding or arrangement between the Company and the counterparty, such repurchases being effected by only one appointed agent of the Company at any point in time;

  • 17.3 That the acquisitions in any one financial year shall be limited to 5% (five percent) of the issued share capital of the Company at the date of this annual general meeting, provided that any subsidiary(ies) may acquire shares to a maximum of 10% (ten percent) in the aggregate of the shares in the Company;

Page 6 Tiger Brands Limited Notice of annual general meeting of shareholders 2018

  • 17.4 That any acquisition of shares, in terms of this authority, may not be made at a price greater than 5% (five percent) above the weighted average market value of the shares over the 5 (five) business days immediately preceding the date on which the acquisition is effected;

  • 17.5 The repurchase of shares may not be effected during a prohibited period, as defined in the Listings Requirements unless the Company has a repurchase programme in place, where the dates and quantities of securities to be traded are fixed and details of the programme have been submitted to the JSE in writing. 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;

  • 17.6 That an announcement on the Securities Exchange News Service (SENS) containing full details of such acquisitions of shares, will be published as soon as the Company and/or its subsidiary(ies) has/have acquired shares constituting, on a cumulative basis, 3% (three percent) of the number of shares in issue at the date of the AGM at which this special resolution number 7 is considered and passed, and for each 3% (three percent) in aggregate of the aforesaid initial number, acquired thereafter;

  • 17.7 After considering the effects of a maximum repurchase, the directors are of the opinion that:

  • 17.7.1 The Company and the group will be able to pay its debts as they become due in the ordinary course of business for a period of 12 (twelve) months after the date of notice of the AGM;

  • 17.7.2 The consolidated assets of the Company and its subsidiaries (the group) fairly stated in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, will be in excess of its consolidated liabilities for a period of 12 (twelve) months after the date of notice of the AGM;

  • 17.7.3 The Company and the group’s working capital will be adequate for a period of 12 (twelve) months after the date of notice of the annual general meeting to meet the group’s current and foreseeable future requirements; and

  • 17.8 The board of directors has passed a resolution approving the repurchase and confirm that the Company and its subsidiary/ ies have passed the solvency and liquidity test and that, since the test was performed, there have been no material changes to the financial position of the group.”

Reasons for and effect of special resolution number 7

The reason for and effect of this special resolution number 7 is to grant the directors a general authority in terms of the Companies Act and subject to the Listing Requirements for the acquisition by the Company or one of its subsidiaries, of the Company’s own shares on the terms set out above.

In terms of paragraph 5.72(c) of the Listings Requirements, a special resolution is required to approve a general repurchase by the Company of its securities, which shall be valid only until the next annual general meeting, but shall not be valid for a period greater than 15 (fifteen) months from the date of the passing of this resolution.

In terms of the Act, the Board must make a determination to acquire its shares only if it reasonably appears that the Company will satisfy the solvency and liquidity test immediately after completing the proposed acquisition and the Board has acknowledged by resolution, that it has applied, and reasonably concluded that the Company will satisfy, the solvency and liquidity test immediately after completing the proposed acquisition in accordance with the Act.

This general authority to acquire the Company’s shares replaces the general authority granted at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 20 February 2018.

  9.

Commentary

Overview

Tiger Brands’ results refl ect the depressed consumer environment, which deteriorated further in the second half of the year. South Africa slipped into a technical recession during the second quarter of 2018 and the Rand weakened signifi cantly adding to the pressure on consumer spending. At the same time, input costs started to increase signifi cantly. Despite this cost push, the market was characterised by manufacturer restraint on pricing in an attempt to minimise consumer infl ation and maximise volumes. In addition, the group’s VAMP division had a material impact on the results following the suspension of operations for the entire second half of the fi nancial year.

The increase in VAT and further increases in the cost of transport and essential services weakened consumer demand in all categories except maize, where increased supply and price defl ation stimulated demand. Domestic revenue fell by 9%, with volumes down 5% and price defl ation of 4%. The suspension of operations at VAMP contributed 4% to the volume decline. The balance of the volume decline refl ected a worse than expected performance in Groceries and Home and Personal Care. This was partially offset by volume and market share growth in Grains. Disappointingly, the positive volume performance in Grains was not refl ected in operating income due to category defl ation and increases in the cost of essential services resulting in margin pressure. Domestic operating income therefore declined by 28% to R3,0 billion.

==> picture [61 x 364] intentionally omitted <==

The impact of volume declines and pricing pressures on the group’s gross margins was partially offset by another year of record savings in procurement and ongoing supply chain effi ciencies. Gross margins declined by 90 basis points (bps) to 32,5%.

Total revenue for the Exports and International businesses declined by 10% to R3,8 billion, whilst operating income reduced by 32% to R270 million. This result was infl uenced by a positive performance from our African exports, which grew both revenue and profi t. The Deciduous Fruit business had a disappointing year, with lower fruit yields and declining volumes, resulting in an operating loss for the year.

During the year, asset impairments of R262 million were accounted for. These were recognised following a detailed evaluation of intangible assets within the Personal Care division, as well as a review of the carrying value of Deli Foods’ operating assets in view of its loss making position.

The abnormal losses of R422 million include the signifi cant impact of the VAMP product recall in the current year of R380 million (net of insurance recoveries).

Income from associates increased by 37% to R731 million, with all associates reporting improved performances in local currency. Particularly strong performances were delivered by Oceana and Carozzi. Oceana benefi ted from a once-off deferred tax adjustment following the reduction in the Federal Corporate Tax rate from 35% to 21% in the United States, effective 1 January 2018. Tiger Brands’ equity accounted share of this benefi t amounted to R79 million for the year.

Net fi nancing costs of R34 million benefi ted from a reduction in net interest costs of R125 million, due to lower average debt levels. A net foreign exchange gain of R21 million was realised compared to a loss of R30 million in the previous year, due to the weakening of the Rand in the latter part of the year.

The effective tax rate before abnormal items, impairments and income from associates increased to 30,2% from 28,9% largely due to the non-recurrence of investment allowances claimed on qualifying capital projects in 2017.

Headline earnings per share (HEPS) from continuing operations declined by 26% to 1 587 cents (2017: 2 155 cents), while earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations decreased by 21% to 1 451 cents (2017: 1 848 cents).

HEPS from total operations decreased by 26% to 1 589 cents (2017: 2 161 cents).

EPS from total operations reduced by 24% to 1 458 cents (2017: 1 915 cents).

Excluding VAMP’s trading results and the product recall costs from the current and prior year, HEPS from continuing operations declined by 11% to 1 881 cents (2017: 2 109 cents). Similarly, EPS from continuing operations declined by 2% to 1 760 cents (2017: 1 802 cents).

Operating performance

Grains

Revenue declined by 4% to R12,8 billion, refl ecting signifi cant price defl ation of 7% while overall volumes grew by 3%. The increase in volumes was not suffi cient to offset the impact of margin pressures, with operating income declining by 20% to R1,9 billion. The operating margin reduced to 14,8%. In one of its most challenging years yet, the Grains division managed to maintain overall market share and improved its share in a number of categories, including fl our, bread and rice.

Tiger Brands Limited Notice of annual general meeting of shareholders 2018 Page 15

continued Commentary

Revenue in Milling and Baking decreased by 7%, influenced by price deflation across the entire segment, and particularly in maize (24%). Operating income declined by 17% to R1,5 billion. The wheat-to-bread value chain, which maintained overall volumes for the year, was unable to sustain its first half performance due to market dynamics restricting cost push recovery in the second half.

Other Grains recorded revenue growth of 2% to R3,9 billion, including 9% volume growth. The strong growth in volumes in this segment was driven by an outstanding performance in rice, with Tastic reflecting improved market share. Pasta and noodles also delivered a solid performance. However, the operating income decline of 32% to R342 million reflects the intensity of competition in the main meal carbohydrate segment.

Consumer Brands – Food

Excluding the significant impact of the suspension of the VAMP operations, revenue in Consumer Brands – Food declined by 3%, in line with volume declines, and with virtually no inflation in this segment. Excluding VAMP, operating income declined by 8% to R1,1 billion.

At Groceries, the impact of the volume declines and competitive market pricing, resulted in an operating income decline of 27% to R432 million. Contributing factors were supply constraints in condiments and spreads and the growth of private label on the back of extremely competitive import pricing.

Snacks & Treats’ volumes slowed significantly in the second half, particularly in channels servicing lower income groups. Despite share gains in chocolate (slabs and countlines), revenue declined by 4% to R2,1 billion. The lower volumes, coupled with an adverse product mix, resulted in operating income decreasing by 6% to R305 million.

The Beverages business continued to perform strongly throughout FY18, with revenue increasing by 8% and operating income by 48% to R213 million, benefiting from the previous year’s investments in cost containment initiatives and improved factory efficiencies.

VAMP’s performance was severely impacted by the wellpublicised closure of its facilities in early March 2018. As a consequence, revenue declined 52% to R1,1 billion, while an operating loss of R252 million was incurred. The cessation of operations at VAMP allowed us to undertake refurbishments at our production facilities and allocate dedicated time for employee training and education, which culminated in the re-opening of our Germiston facility on 12 October 2018. The Clayville abattoir will supply the raw material requirements for the Germiston facility, as well as fresh meat cuts to the market. In addition, it will continue to contract slaughter on

behalf of approved pig suppliers. The Enterprise meat canning operation, which is a separate unit on the Polokwane site, re-commenced production on 12 September 2018.

Structural refurbishments have been completed at the Polokwane facility and it is currently being assessed by the Capricorn Municipality. Full production will commence once we have received all the required regulatory approvals.

Home, Personal Care and Baby (HPCB)

The poor performance of HPCB continued through the second half, with overall revenue down by 16% to R2,2 billion. All three categories were affected by price deflation and volume declines. The deleveraging impact of this volume loss was primarily responsible for the 45% reduction in operating income to R341 million.

Revenue in Personal Care declined by 10% to R616 million. An intensely competitive trading environment resulted in operating income decreasing by 53% to R65 million.

Revenue in Baby declined by 10% to R796 million, while operating income fell by 36% to R133 million. This performance was impacted by lower sales volumes, an unfavourable sales mix and the concomitant pressure on factory overhead recoveries. The new baby food pouch line was successfully commissioned in June 2018, contributing to volume growth of 30%.

Despite market share gains in key segments of the Home Care division, lower consumer demand resulted in higher than expected trade stocks going into the peak pest season. This resulted in revenue and operating income declines of 25% and 48%, respectively. Lower production levels had an adverse effect on factory recoveries, while competitor pricing put pressure on margins.

Exports and International

Total revenue for the Exports and International businesses declined by 10% to R3,8 billion, while operating income reduced by 32% to R270 million.

The Deciduous Fruit business was the major contributor to the reduction in operating income. Revenue declined by 20% due to lower volumes and a drop in fruit yields following the severe drought in the Western Cape. An operating loss of R128 million was incurred in the year (2017: R13 million operating income).

The Exports business produced a good performance with revenue increasing by 4% to R1,8 billion. This growth was achieved despite ongoing macro-economic headwinds, including foreign currency shortages, weak consumer demand, as well as regulatory changes in the group’s core markets. Operating income increased by 6% to R290 million.

Page 16 Tiger Brands Limited Notice of annual general meeting of shareholders 2018

In an increasingly challenging environment, Chococam recorded 3% growth in revenue in local currency terms. Revenue in Rand terms increased by 7% to R882 million. Operating income increased by 8% in Rand terms to R159 million (4% in local currency), assisted by growth from innovation, tight cost management and favourable procurement positions.

Deli Foods recorded a further operating loss of R51 million, following a reduction in revenue of 61% reflecting ongoing market challenges. Several cost-saving initiatives have been implemented and management changes made in the second half.

Cash flow and capital expenditure

Cash generated from operations decreased by 46% to R3,3 billion. Working capital was predominantly impacted by strategic raw material purchases coupled with higher inventory holdings, reflective of challenges with forecasting due to constrained consumer demand. Capital expenditure disbursed during the year amounted to R720 million.

Final dividend

Taking into account the company’s strong balance sheet and the once-off impact of the cessation of operations at VAMP, including the costs of the product recall, a gross final cash dividend of 702 cents per share has been declared for the year ended 30 September 2018. This, together with the interim dividend of 378 cents per share, brings the total dividend for the year to 1 080 cents, which is unchanged from last year.

Shareholders are referred to the accompanying dividend announcement for further details.

Dividend policy

In recognition of the company’s low gearing levels and strong cash generating capabilities, the board has decided to change the company’s dividend policy, from a 2x cover (based on HEPS) to 1,75x for the foreseeable future, in the absence of any significant corporate activity.

Change in directorate

Ms Swazi Tshabalala resigned as an independent nonexecutive director on 15 August 2018, following her appointment as vice president of finance and chief financial officer for the African Development Bank. She also stepped down as a member of the Risk and Sustainability Committee.

Ms Gail Klintworth became an independent non-executive director on 16 August 2018. Her knowledge and experience in sustainability matters in our industry are important additions to the skills set of the board, and we look forward to her future contributions.

Mr Rob Nisbet resigned as an independent non-executive director on 7 September 2018. He also stepped down as chairman of the Audit Committee, as well as a member of the Investment and Risk and Sustainability Committees. Ms Emma Mashilwane, a current member of the Audit Committee, replaced Rob as chairman and Mr Mark Bowman joined the committee as an independent non-executive director on 2 November 2018.

Mr Yunus Suleman resigned as independent non-executive director effective 22 November 2018. He also steps down as a member and chairman of the Risk and Sustainability Committee, as well as a member of the Audit and Investment Committees.

Listeria update

The National Listeria crisis was devastating for Tiger Brands as a company, for our people, but most importantly for the affected families.

Our deepest and heartfelt thoughts remain with those who lost their loved ones and who are otherwise affected by this crisis.

Tiger Brands launched the country’s first Centre for Food Safety in collaboration with Stellenbosch University, setting aside R10 million for the Centre’s operations. The Centre will conduct food science and food safety research to provide expert opinion and academic support to the industry, and to help government ensure that food safety regulations are based on sound scientific evidence. It will also play a leading role in consumer education on food-related issues.

The Listeria Class Action referred to in the company’s SENS announcement dated 14 August 2018 has not yet been certified.

Following the certification of the claim and the members of the classes, it is anticipated that a quantified claim will be instituted against the company.

The company has product liability insurance cover appropriate for a group of its scale. Coverage has been confirmed by the Insurers, subject to the terms and limits of the policy. The policy will accordingly respond to the claim within its term in the event that the company is held liable.

Strategy update

Notwithstanding the noted challenges in the review period, we believe the approved strategy is compelling and relevant.

During the year, we continued to build a sound foundation for future growth by improving internal processes and enhancing capability and capacity to execute our strategy. New executive leadership has joined our team with the appointment of a chief growth officer for Africa, a new chief marketing officer, chief strategy officer and a new chief human resources officer.

Tiger Brands Limited Notice of annual general meeting of shareholders 2018 Page 17

continued Commentary

Areas of focus in 2019 will include embedding the new operating model and implementation of the group’s Africa strategy. This complements the group’s South Africa strategy and supports the local operations, our current Exports business and the operations in Cameroon and Nigeria.

We are confident that the strategy will unlock the full potential of Tiger Brands and create value for all stakeholders.

Unbundling of Oceana

The company’s investment in associates formed an integral part of the strategic review. To this end, the Tiger Brands board has decided, to pursue an unbundling of its entire shareholding in Oceana Group Limited (Oceana). The decision was taken following a review of Oceana’s fit with the group’s core business undertakings. The approximate implementation date of the unbundling is April 2019. The detailed terms of the unbundling are expected to be published shortly before the implementation date.

Outlook

The economic outlook for 2019 remains challenging with no signs of a significant recovery in economic growth or consumer confidence.

We remain committed to the growth of our power brands, with a relentless focus on driving our cost conscious culture and developing a great place to work for all our employees, which we believe will result in superior returns and a beneficial outcome for all our stakeholders.

* As part of the annual assessment of all disclosure and presentation, the JSE Report on Proactive Monitoring of Financial Statements issued in February 2018 was reviewed. As a consequence, the group has restated its cash flow treatment relating to equity-settled share option schemes as financing activities. The presentation of comparative figures has therefore been adjusted to conform to the presentation of the current period. The cash flow related to equity-settled share scheme (September 2017: R77,8 million) has been reclassified out of operating activities and proceeds from BMT shares exercised (September 2017: R24,0 million) has been reclassified from investing activities.

Notes

1. Basis of preparation and changes to the group’s accounting policies

The preparation of these results has been supervised by N Doyle, chief financial officer of Tiger Brands Limited.

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the requirements of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements for provisional reports and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa. The Listings Requirements require provisional reports to be prepared in accordance with the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Pronouncements as issued by Financial Reporting Standards Council and to also, as a minimum, contain the information required by IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting . The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements are in terms of IFRS and are consistent with those applied in the previous consolidated annual financial statements.

Ernst & Young Inc., Tiger Brands Limited’s independent auditors, have audited the consolidated financial statements of Tiger Brands Limited from which the condensed consolidated financial results have been derived. The auditors have expressed an unmodified audit opinion on the consolidated annual financial statements. Any reference to future financial performance included in this announcement has not been audited or reported on by the group’s external auditors. The auditors’ audit report does not necessarily report on all the information contained in this announcement/financial results. Shareholders are therefore advised that in order to obtain a full understanding of the nature of the auditors’ engagement they should obtain a copy of the auditors’ audit report together with the accompanying financial information from the issuer’s registered office.

Revenue is recorded in terms of IFRS 15. The majority of the group’s financial instruments measured at fair value in terms of IFRS 13 are noted as level 1 hierarchy, which are valued based on quoted market prices.

IFRS 9 brings together all the aspects of accounting for financial instruments: classification, measurement, impairment and hedge accounting. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early application permitted. The group will apply the new rules using a modified retrospective approach from 1 October 2018. Comparatives for 2018 will not be restated in the 2019 financial statements.

The adoption of IFRS 9 will impact on the provisions for receivables as IFRS 9 applies the expected credit loss model rather than the incurred loss model. The new hedge accounting rules will align the accounting for hedging instruments more closely with the group’s risk management practices.

The group has reviewed its financial assets and financial liabilities and the impact on the 2018 financial statements is assessed to be immaterial.

IFRS 16 introduces significant changes to lessee accounting as it removes the distinction between operating and finance leases under IAS 17 and requires a lessee to recognise a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at lease commencement for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets. The impact of this is being quantified and an impact assessment will be completed by 30 September 2019. The effective date will be 1 October 2019.


will be completed by 30 September 2019. The effective date will be 1 October 2019.

3. Impairments
Goodwill and indefnite useful life intangible assets are tested for impairment annually (as at
30 September) and when circumstances that indicate the carrying value may be impaired.
The group’s impairment tests for goodwill and intangible assets with indefnite useful lives are
based on the value-in-use calculations. The impairments recognised in the current year relate
mainly to the Personal Care category within HPCB business (R125,0 million) as well as the full
impairment of the goodwill and intangible assets of the Hercules business (R19,3 million). The
impairment on property, plant and equipment relates mainly to Deli Foods, LAF and group
infrastructure assets.
