Resolved clause
To vote on the re-election, each by way of a separate vote, of the following directors who are required to retire in terms of clause 22.2.11 of the Company’s MOI and who are eligible and have agreed to stand for re-election:
• Mr MJ Cuambe
• Ms MBN Dube
• Dr M Flöel
• Mr FR Grobler
• Ms MEK Nkeli

The Nomination and Governance Committee and the Board have reviewed the composition of the Board against corporate governance and transformation requirements and have recommended the re-election of Mr MJ Cuambe, Ms MBN Dube, Dr M Flöel, Mr FR Grobler and Ms MEK Nkeli. It is the view of the Board that the re-election of these directors will:
• provide continuity on the Board;
• enable the Company to responsibly maintain a mixture of business skills and experience relevant to the Company and balance the requirements of transformation, continuity and succession planning;
• enable the Board to meet its targets with respect to gender and racial diversity; and
• enable the Company to comply with corporate governance requirements in respect of matters such as the balance of executive, non-executive and independent directors on the Board.

Information on the Company’s corporate governance practices is available on pages 64 to 69 of the 2023
Integrated Report.
