The non-binding advisory vote on the company's remuneration implementation report was voted against by more than 25% of the voting rights exercised by shareholders. Consequently, the company will initiate a process to engage with the dissenting shareholders, as recommended in terms of King IV. Any shareholders who would like to participate in this engagement process are requested to advise the company secretary by e-mail at legal@raubex.com by Friday, 19 August 2022. Details on the consequent engagement process will be communicated to those shareholders who have indicated their interest in participating to the company secretary.

RESIGNATION OF CHAIRMAN

In compliance with paragraph 3.59 of the JSE Listings Requirements, shareholders are advised that Mr Freddie Kenney, Chairman of the board of Raubex, has decided not to put himself forward for re-election as director and Chairman of the board, and has tendered his resignation effective 5 August 2022.

Over the past 18 months Freddie has suffered two major personal tragedies, and in light of this, has requested the board to relieve him from his duties as Chairman and director to afford him personal time to grieve.

Freddie's affiliation with Raubex spans nearly 20 years having joined Raubex as non-executive director and shareholder in 2004. In 2017, Freddie succeeded Koos Raubenheimer as Chairman of the board of Raubex, a position which he has held to date.

"It has been a privilege to have served Raubex as a non-executive director, and for the past five years, Chairman. I have watched Raubex grow immensely during my tenure and I am proud of the role Raubex has played in building the South African economy. I would like to thank my fellow board members and executive management for their support over the years," Freddie said.

The board wishes to thank Freddie for his invaluable contribution, dedicated leadership and commitment to Raubex over the past 18 years, and he remains a valued shareholder of the group.

The board will make an announcement regarding the position of Chairman to be filled in due course.
