COMPLETION OF THE TRANSFER OF THE GROUP RISK AND RETAIL LIFE
BUSINESSES OF ALEXANDER FORBES LIFE TO SANLAM LIFE

Shareholders are referred to the announcement released by Sanlam on the Stock Exchange
News Service of the JSE Limited on 14 June 2021, regarding the acquisition of the group risk
and retail life businesses ("AF Life Book") of Alexander Forbes Life Limited ("AF Life") via a
transfer of the AF Life Book from AF Life to Sanlam Life Insurance Limited ("Sanlam Life"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Sanlam, in terms of Section 50 of the Insurance Act ("the
Transaction").

The board of directors of Sanlam wish to advise shareholders that all of the suspensive
conditions to the Transaction have now been fulfilled and the parties will therefore proceed to
implement the Transaction in accordance with its terms. The effective date of the Transaction
is 31 March 2022. The total cash consideration is R100 million, 50% of which will be deferred
and paid in two equal payments, to be made 12 and 24 months respectively from the effective
date, subject to the achievement of agreed metrics.

The Transaction will contribute towards the realisation of Sanlam's South African growth
strategy by strengthening Sanlam Life's position in the group risk and retail life insurance
markets. The Transaction is expected to deliver capital synergies by integrating the AF Life
Book into the Sanlam Life licence and diversifying the portfolio of risks.
