The Board is disappointed with the outcome of the voting on the 2020 Remuneration Policy and Implementation Report following the significant improvement in the voting outcome for the 2019 report.

"The economic uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact on business performance made 2020 a challenging year to set and implement competitive remuneration policies. We have engaged extensively with shareholders to understand their concerns and we recognise the fine balance between remuneration outcomes which continue to motivate and retain our best people whilst remaining aligned to shareholders' interests," said Itumeleng Kgaboesele, Chairman of the Remuneration committee.

The Group will continue engaging directly with shareholders to understand their exact issues and concerns so that appropriate decisions can be made with respect to remuneration policy and implementation for the current and future years. The Group will extend an invitation to shareholders through a SENS announcement setting out the manner and the timing of the engagement in due course.

"We remain committed to the continued improvement of our remuneration policies and practices through open and transparent engagement with all stakeholders." concludes Kgaboesele.
