PPC LTD

Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa (Registration No: 1892/000667/06)

JSE / ZSE share code: PPC

(PPC or the company or the group)

Notice is hereby given that the 130th annual general meeting (AGM) of the company will be held at 12:00 on Friday, 9 September 2022. The AGM of shareholders of the company will only be accessible through electronic participation, as provided for by the Johannesburg Stock Exchange Limited (JSE) and in terms of the provisions of the Companies Act 71 of 2008, as amended (Companies Act) and the company's memorandum of incorporation (MoI) to consider the following business and, if deemed fit, to approve, with or without modification, the ordinary and special resolutions set out herein.

Should any shareholder (or a representative or proxy for a shareholder) wish to participate in and/or vote at the AGM by way of electronic participation, such shareholder must either:

  1. register online using the online registration portal at https://meetnow.global/za, prior to the commencement of the AGM; or
  2. make a written application (the form of which is attached to this notice of the company's AGM (notice)) to so participate, by delivering the application form to the transfer secretaries, being Computershare Investor Services Proprietary Limited (Computershare), at First Floor, Rosebank Towers, 15 Biermann Avenue, Rosebank, 2196, or posting it to Private Bag X9000, Saxonwold, 2132 (at the risk of the shareholder), or sending it by email to proxy@computershare.co.za.
    so as to be received by the transfer secretaries by no later than 12:00 on Wednesday,
    7 September 2022, in order for the transfer secretaries to arrange such participation for the shareholder and for the transfer secretaries to provide the shareholder with the details as to how to access the AGM by means of electronic participation. Shareholders may still register/apply to participate in and/or vote electronically at the AGM after this date, provided, however, that those shareholders are verified (as required in terms of section 63(1) of the Companies Act) and are registered at the commencement of the AGM.

For the avoidance of doubt, dematerialised shareholders without "own name" registration would still need to submit their voting instructions via their Central Securities Depository Participants (CSDP) or broker or obtain a letter of representation from their CSDP or broker to participate in and/or vote at the AGM electronically.

In terms of section 63(1) of the Companies Act, any person participating in the AGM must present reasonably satisfactory identification and the person presiding at the AGM must be reasonably satisfied that the right of any person to participate in and vote (whether as a shareholder or as a representative or proxy for a shareholder) has been reasonably verified. Shareholders of the company who wish to participate in the AGM electronically should provide such identification when making written application to so participate.

Shareholders will be liable for their own network charges and it will not be for the expense of PPC or Computershare. Neither PPC nor Computershare can be held accountable in the case of loss of network connectivity or network failure including, but not limited to, insufficient airtime, internet connectivity, power outages, which would prevent you from voting or participating in the virtual AGM.
