To Shareholders

Dear Shareholder

INTRODUCTION

On Monday, 8 November 2021, Sirius announced its Interim Results. In its statement accompanying the announcement of the Interim Results, Sirius reported that the Directors have authorised a Dividend of 0.0204 per Ordinary Share for the six month period ended 30 September 2021, payable on 20 January 2022 to Shareholders on the UK Share Register and on the SA Share Register at the respective closes of business on 17 December 2021 (the Record Date).

For Shareholders on the UK Share Register who would like to receive their full entitlement to the Dividend in cash, the Directors would like to offer such Shareholders the option of receiving the whole of their Dividend in Sterling. Shareholders on the UK Share Register who do not elect to receive any New Shares and do not make, or have not previously made, a valid currency election, will receive their full entitlement to the dividend in cash in Euro. Shareholders on the SA Share Register who would like to receive their entitlement to the Dividend in cash, will receive their entitlement to the Dividend in ZAR.

For Shareholders who would like to receive their entitlement to the Dividend in New Shares, the Directors would like to offer such Shareholders the chance to receive the whole of their entitlement to the Dividend in New Shares instead of in cash or part of their entitlement to the Dividend in New Shares and part in cash (with any cash balance being paid in Sterling in respect of Shareholders on the UK Share Register or ZAR in respect of Shareholders on the SA Share Register). Under the Articles, the Directors may, with the authority of an ordinary resolution of Shareholders given at a general meeting, offer to Shareholders the opportunity to elect to receive dividends in the form of Ordinary Shares (credited as fully paid) instead of in cash. The Directors obtained such authority in respect of any Dividend authorised in relation to all or part of the financial year of the Company ending in 2022 at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 30 July 2021. The terms and conditions of the Scrip Dividend Alternative are set out in the Appendix to this Circular.

The Directors believe that the offer of the Scrip Dividend Alternative is advantageous to Shareholders because it enables Shareholders to increase their shareholding in the Company in a simple manner without paying dealing costs. However, the decision whether to elect for the Scrip Dividend Alternative will depend on a Shareholder's own circumstances. Paragraph 9 of the terms and conditions sets out some of the factors which Shareholders may wish to consider. The Directors believe that the offer of the Scrip Dividend Alternative is advantageous to the Company (and therefore to the Shareholders in general) since cash that would otherwise be paid out in Dividends is retained within the business. The total cash cost of the Dividend if no elections are made would, based on the issued share capital at the date of this Circular, be approximately 23,857,104.87.

4

Shareholders who are considering making an election should bear in mind that the price of Ordinary Shares fluctuates, as is the case with all listed securities.

It is intended that application will be made to (i) the FCA for the New Shares to be admitted to the premium segment of the Official List; (ii) the London Stock Exchange for the New Shares to be admitted to trading on the Main Market; and (iii) the JSE for listing and admission to trading of the New Shares on the Main Board. It is expected that the New Shares will be admitted to the premium segment of the Official List, admitted to trading on the Main Market and listed and admitted to trading on the Main Board on Thursday, 20 January 2022. This document does not constitute a prospectus as the exemptions in Rule 1.2.3UK and Rule 1.2.4UK of the Financial Conduct Authority Prospectus Regulation Rules from the requirement to produce a prospectus apply.

ACTION TO BE TAKEN

Shareholders on the UK Share Register

Please refer to the section below entitled

"For Shareholders on the UK Share Register Only".

Shareholders on the SA Share Register

Please refer to the section below entitled

"For Shareholders on the SA Share Register Only".

FOR SHAREHOLDERS ON THE UK SHARE REGISTER ONLY

If you wish to receive New Shares

Please note that if you wish to elect to receive New Shares in relation to part of your Dividend entitlement only, you will receive the cash balance of your entitlement to the Dividend in Sterling. In these circumstances, your bank account must be denominated in Sterling in order for the Registrars to effect payment in Sterling and you will need to provide details of your Sterling denominated bank account by completing the Scrip Election Form appropriately.

  1. Certificated Qualifying Shareholders

If you are a Qualifying Shareholder and hold share certificates for your Ordinary Shares and wish to elect to receive New Shares in relation to all of your Dividend entitlement or part of your Dividend entitlement (with the balance being paid to you in cash in Sterling), you will need to complete the Scrip Election Form accompanying this Circular and send it to the Registrars. Your completed Scrip Election Form must be received by the Registrars by no later than 5.00 p.m. (UK time) on Thursday, 30 December 2021 (the Election Return Date for Shareholders on the UK Share Register). If it has not been received by then, you will receive the full amount of your Dividend entitlement in cash in Euro or, if a Currency Election Form has been validly submitted whereby you have opted to be paid in Sterling, in Sterling.

Scrip Dividend Mandate

You may also give a Scrip Dividend Mandate, which is a standing election to receive not only the Dividend, but also all future Dividends authorised by the Company in the form of New Shares in respect of all of your Ordinary Shares (in the event that the Directors decide to offer the opportunity to receive a Dividend in the form of New Shares). Scrip Dividend Mandates (which are made by marking a cross in Box 2 of the Scrip Election Form accompanying this Circular) will only be valid in respect of a Dividend offered in the form of New Shares which is made to Shareholders. Even though you make this election, the Company will write to you each time the Directors offer a Dividend in the form of New Shares, advising you of the basis of your entitlement to New Shares. Alternatively, Scrip Dividend Mandates can be made online at www.signalshares.com. The basis on which you may revoke your Scrip Dividend Mandate may also be found online at www.signalshares.com.

Scrip Dividend Mandate already given

If you have previously given a Scrip Dividend Mandate at the time of a former scrip dividend alternative offered by the Directors then, unless you wish to change the mandate, you need take no action. If you currently have a Scrip Dividend Mandate in place, you will have received a Notification of Scrip Dividend with this Circular.
