A proxy appointment – (a) must be in writing, dated and signed by the shareholder; and (b) remains valid for – (i) one year after the date on which it was signed; or (ii) any longer or shorter period expressly set out in the appointment, unless it is revoked in a manner contemplated in section 58(4)(c), or expires earlier as contemplated in section 58(8)(d). A shareholder may appoint two or more persons concurrently as proxies and may appoint more than one proxy to exercise voting rights attached to different securities held by the shareholder. A proxy may delegate his authority to act on behalf of a shareholder to another person, subject to any restriction set out in the instrument appointing such proxy. A copy of the instrument appointing a proxy must be delivered to the company, or to any other person on behalf of the company, before the proxy exercises any rights of the shareholder at a shareholders meeting. Irrespective of the form of instrument used to appoint a proxy, the appointment of a proxy is suspended at any time and to the extent that the relevant shareholder chooses to act directly and in person in the exercise of any of such shareholder’s rights as a shareholder. Any appointment by a shareholder of a proxy is revocable, unless the form of instrument used to appoint such proxy states otherwise. If an appointment of a proxy is revocable, a shareholder may revoke the proxy appointment by (i) cancelling it in writing or making a later inconsistent appointment of a proxy and (ii) delivering a copy of the revocation instrument to the proxy and to the relevant company. The revocation of a proxy appointment constitutes a complete and final cancellation of the proxy’s authority to act on behalf of the shareholder as of the later of – (a) the date stated in the revocation instrument, if any; or (b) the date on which the revocation instrument was delivered as required in section 58(4)(c)(ii). If the instrument appointing a proxy or proxies has been delivered by a shareholder to a company, then, for so long as that appointment remains in effect, any notice that is required in terms of the Companies Act or such company’s memorandum of incorporation to be delivered to a shareholder must be delivered by such company to: –– the relevant shareholder; or –– the proxy or proxies, if the relevant shareholder has: (i) directed such company to do so, in writing and (ii) paid any reasonable fee charged by such company for doing so.

IMPORTANT LEGAL INFORMATION DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATIONS The interpretations and definitions commencing on page 43 of this Circular apply throughout this Circular as read together with the interpretations and definitions commencing on page 3 of the Notice, including this section on Important Legal Information (unless the context clearly indicates a contrary intention). FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Statements in this Circular may include ''forward-looking statements'' that express or imply expectations of future events or results. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts. These statements include financial projections and estimates and their underlying assumptions, and statements regarding plans, objectives and expectations with regard to future operations, products and services, and statements regarding future performance. Forward-looking statements are generally identified by the words ''anticipates'', ''believes'', ''estimates'', ''expects'', ''intends'' and similar expressions. All forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors, and Senwes, Senwesbel and Suidwes cannot give assurances that those statements will prove to be correct. Risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements include, without limitation, changes in the economic or political situation in South Africa or any other relevant jurisdiction, changes in the agricultural industry in South Africa or worldwide and the performance of Senwes, Senwesbel or Suidwes. Although both the Offerors and Suidwes believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, Suidwes Shareholders are cautioned that forward-looking information and statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties – many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond the control of any party – that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, the forward-looking information and statements. Senwes, Senwesbel and Suidwes do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking information or statements. None of the forward-looking statements have been reviewed nor reported on by the Independent External Auditors. APPLICABLE LAW AND FOREIGN SUIDWES SHAREHOLDERS The Scheme may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdiction of Foreign Suidwes Shareholders. Such Foreign Suidwes Shareholders should inform themselves about and observe any applicable legal requirements of such jurisdictions.

The Scheme complies with, and is governed by, the laws of South Africa and is subject to applicable South African laws and regulations, including the Act, and may not be forwarded or transmitted to jurisdictions outside South Africa in which it is illegal to make such Offer. In such circumstances, the Circular and all accompanying documents is not intended to, and does not constitute, or form part of, an offer of whatsoever nature or form or a solicitation of any such offer, vote or approval in such jurisdiction and is sent for information purposes only. Any Foreign Suidwes Shareholder who is in doubt as to his position including, without limitation, his tax status and potential liabilities should consult a suitable independent professional advisor in the applicable jurisdiction on an urgent basis. 33

More specifically, delivery should be as follows: (a) by hand: at 1 Charel de Klerk Street, Klerksdorp, North West Province, South Africa; or (b) via registered post: PO Box 31, Klerksdorp, 2570, North West Province, South Africa; or (c) via fax: + 086 673 3041; or (d) via email: [email protected] or [email protected]; or (e) Form of Elections may also be provided to the Suidwes Company Secretary: Derek Linde at +27 (018) 581 1000 or [email protected], who shall provide these Forms of Election to the Offerors before 12:00 on the Scheme Consideration Record Date. 3.1.2 The Senwes Group prefers to receive the Form of Election by way of email. 3.1.3 Delivery of the Form of Election is at the risk of the Scheme Participant concerned. If the Form of Election is sent through the post, it is recommended that it be sent to the Secretary by registered post. 3.1.4 No receipts will be issued by Senwes acknowledging the Form of Election. If a Scheme Participant specifically requests an acknowledgement of receipt, such Scheme Participant is requested to prepare such receipt and submit it to Senwes, for Senwes' signature, together with the Form of Election. 3.1.5 If the Form of Election is issued under a power of attorney, then such power of attorney, or a notarial certified copy thereof, should accompany the Form of Election. 3.1.6 Where the Scheme Participant is a company or a close corporation or a trust, a certified copy of the directors’ or members’ or trustees’ resolution authorising the signing of this Form of Election must be submitted if so requested by Senwes. 3.2 Selection of the Scheme Consideration by Ordinary Shareholder Scheme Participants 3.2.1 Subject to the remaining paragraphs set out herein, the Ordinary Shareholder Scheme Participants may select only one of the following options in relation to the 35

Scheme Consideration in respect of all the Suidwes Ordinary Shares held by such Ordinary Shareholder Scheme Participant: (a) the Ordinary Share Cash Consideration option in terms of which Senwes will compensate the Ordinary Shareholder Scheme Participants at R1,30 (one Rand and thirty cents) per Suidwes Ordinary Share; or (b) the Consideration Share option in terms of which 1 Senwesbel Share will be issued to the Ordinary Shareholder Scheme Participants for every 3 Suidwes Ordinary Shares. 3.2.2 Only Ordinary Shareholder Scheme Participants that meet the Qualifying Criteria may select the Consideration Shares option as set out in clause 3.2.1(b) above. 3.2.3 A combination of selection options is not allowed. For the avoidance of doubt, the Ordinary Shareholder Scheme Participants may not select both the Ordinary Share Cash Consideration (as consideration for a part of its Suidwes Shares) and the Consideration Shares (as consideration for the other part of its Consideration Shares). 3.2.4 An Ordinary Shareholder Scheme Participant, who is not a Qualifying Person, will not be entitled to select the option for the Consideration Shares. In the event that an Ordinary Shareholder Scheme Participant that does not qualify, select the Consideration Shares, such Ordinary Shareholder Scheme Participant shall be deemed to have selected the Ordinary Share Cash Consideration. 3.2.5 If an Ordinary Shareholder Scheme Participant fails to deliver the Form of Election by the prescribed date and in the prescribed manner it shall be deemed that such Ordinary Shareholder Scheme Participant selected the Ordinary Share Cash Consideration. 3.3 Scheme Consideration applicable in relation to the Preference Shareholder Scheme Participants 3.3.1 The consideration payable to the Preference Shareholder Scheme Participants shall be limited to the Preference Share Cash Consideration and, therefore, the Preference Shareholder Scheme Participants are not required to exercise any selection in relation to the Scheme Consideration. 3.3.2 The Preference Share Cash Consideration shall be determined in accordance with a discounted value of such Preference Shares depending on the issue year as per the table below which Preference Share Cash Consideration is based on the year of issue of the Preference Share: Preference share issue Preference Share Cash Consideration offered date per Suidwes Preference Share – Rands 1,76 (one rand and seventy six cents) 2013 1,44 (one rand and forty four cents) 2014 1,39 (one rand and thirty nine cents) 2015 1,16 (one rand and sixteen cents) 2016 1,10 (one rand and ten cents) 2017 1,08 (one rand and eight cents) 2018 3.3.3 Preference Shareholder Scheme Participants should still complete the Form of Election in accordance with the instructions therein to nominate their bank details in order to facilitate the payment process. 36

4 Surrender of documents of title The Suidwes Shares are being held in uncertificated form and, therefore, the Suidwes Shareholders are not required to surrender any documents of title. 5 Payment of Cash Consideration and issue of the Consideration Shares 5.1.1 Subject to any deductions that may be required in order to give effect to the Suidwes Shareholder Pledge, the Cash Consideration will be paid, and the Consideration Shares will be issued, on the Scheme Consideration Payment Date being the later of: (a) the Implementation Date; (b) the day on which any Encumbrances over the Suidwes Shares have been released; and (c) the day on which the Suidwes Shares were transferred into the name of Senwes or Senwesbel, as the case may be. 5.1.2 The Cash Consideration will be paid as follows: (a) In relation to those Scheme Participants that have comprehensively completed and delivered the Form of Election in accordance with the procedures prescribed in this Circular, into the bank account which the Scheme Participants nominated in writing for this purpose; (b) In relation to: (i) any Scheme Participant that has failed to nominate a bank account in the Form of Election for purposes of payment of the Cash Consideration; and (ii) a Dissenting Shareholder who becomes a Scheme Participant pursuant to paragraph 3.1 of Section B (Terms and Conditions of the Scheme) of this Circular, the Cash Consideration will be held in trust by Senwes, or its agent, on such Scheme Participant's behalf for a period of 3 years after the Scheme Consideration Payment Date, after which the Cash Consideration due to such Scheme Participant will be forfeited in favour of Senwes. Before such 3 year period, the Cash Consideration shall be released, and paid, to the Scheme Participant upon receipt of the required bank details and any other documents or information which Senwes reasonably requires to make such payment. 5.2 Senwesbel shall issue the Consideration Shares to those Ordinary Shareholder Scheme Participants that have selected the Consideration Share option by submitting the duly completed Form of Election in accordance with the instructions set out in this Circular and which meets the Qualifying Criteria as follows: (a) On the Scheme Consideration Payment Date, provided that the Ordinary Shareholder Scheme Participants complied with any necessary information or documentary requirements to receive the Consideration Shares; and (b) Upon the issue of the Consideration Shares, the Transfer Secretary and CSDP shall post a written confirmation to each such Ordinary Shareholder Scheme Participant. 5.3 The Consideration Shares to be issued to Ordinary Shareholder Scheme Participants electing the Consideration Share option will, on their allotment and issue, rank equal in all respects with the shares in the existing issued ordinary share capital of Senwesbel. 37

LETTER TO SUIDWES SHAREHOLDERS The interpretations and definitions commencing on page 43 of this Circular as read together with the interpretations and definitions commencing on page 3 of the Notice apply to this section unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Dear Suidwes Shareholder Various structural and economic changes have emerged in the agri sector over the past decade. Given the volatile global conditions, local political and economic conditions, drought conditions as well as financial performance challenges, Suidwes has approached Senwes and Senwesbel to provide financial assistance to the Suidwes Group. The financial assistance entailed that Senwes extended a loan to Suidwes Investments in terms of the provisions of the Loan Agreement which was utilised to repay Suidwes Investments’ and Suidwes Agriculture Proprietary Limited's indebtedness to the Land and Agricultural Development Bank of South Africa (“the Land Bank”). Subsequently, the Suidwes Board and the Boards of Directors of Senwes and Senwesbel, as the Offerors, have decided to approach the Suidwes Shareholders jointly with a Scheme of Arrangement as contemplated in sections 114 and 115 of the Act. An Implementation Agreement was concluded on 27 February 2020 in terms of which Suidwes and the Senwes Group agreed that the Scheme shall be presented to Suidwes Shareholders in the form of the Circular. The Senwes Group is therefore making an offer to Suidwes Shareholders to acquire 100% of the Suidwes Shares from the Suidwes Shareholders since the strategic fit between the two operational companies in terms of diversification are highly appropriate. This successful implementation of the Offer would be coupled with the recapitalisation of the Suidwes Group and the conversion of the loan into equity with the result that Suidwes Investments shall issue equity to Senwes. It is submitted that this is the only way that Suidwes will be able to continue as a going concern. We are committed to continue with, and to grow, the Suidwes brand. The critical element of this Offer, which is not negotiable, is the continued service delivery to and involvement of the farmer Suidwes shareholders in a larger combined agricultural business with a wider footprint. This Offer is extended to all Suidwes Shareholders and comprise of a Cash Consideration and Consideration Shares as fully detailed in this Circular. Only qualifying Suidwes Ordinary Shareholders (“bona fide” farmer shareholders within the meaning of the MOI of Senwesbel as attached hereto), have the option to take up shares in Senwesbel, the holding company of Senwes. It is foreseen that aforesaid would create a consolidated platform for the commercial farming sector. Senwesbel intends to change its name to Agricultural Investments Holdings (or similar) after the successful implementation of the Offer.
