The Capital Reduction will create distributable reserves to support the Company's ability to make future payments of dividends to its shareholders and undertake potential share buybacks (in each case should circumstances mean it is appropriate or desirable to do so), as well as other corporate purposes of the Company. The Capital Reduction is conditional upon passing of a special resolution by the Company's shareholders in addition to approval of the Court.  In addition, the Company is also seeking to renew the standard authority to grant Directors authority to issue shares as granted at the previous 2024 AGM and to dis-apply pre-emption rights. The Company wishes to dis-apply pre-emption rights only to a maximum of 7.5% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company. The Dis-application Resolution is to give flexibility to the Company to issue new warrants, options or shares to support the Company when leveraging investment capital and aligning employees' and stakeholders' interests with shareholders of the Company. Notice is hereby given of the General Meeting of the Company to be held at 11.00 a.m. (UK time), 12.00 p.m. (SA time) on Wednesday, 8 April 2026 at Fieldfisher LLP, Riverbank House, 2 Swan Lane, London EC4R 3TT to consider and vote on the resolutions.

The Capital Reduction will not, of itself, involve any distribution or return of capital to any shareholder and will not reduce the Company's underlying assets.
