Confirmation of appointment of new auditors
As announced on SENS on 1 September 2023, while mandatory audit firm rotation is no longer a
requirement, the Board subscribes to the underlying principles thereof and had engaged in a process of
voluntary audit firm rotation. Accordingly, in terms of paragraph 3.78 of the Listings Requirements of the JSE
Limited and following the approval of Ordinary Resolution 6 referred to above by the requisite majority of
shareholders, the appointment of Moore Cape Town Inc. as the Company's new auditors, with Adele Smit
as audit partner, with effect from 7 November 2023, is confirmed.
