___________________________________________________________________________ COMBINED CIRCULAR TO SUIDWES SHAREHOLDERS SECTION A: INTRODUCTION, PURPOSE OF THE COMBINED CIRCULAR, INFORMATION OF THE OFFERORS AND DESCRIPTION OF THE SENWES BUSINESS 1 Introduction 1.1 The Suidwes Shareholders are referred to the joint announcement relating to the firm intention by Senwesbel and Senwes to make an offer to acquire the entire issued share capital of Suidwes pursuant to the proposed Scheme published on 27 February 2020. 1.2 Implementation of the Scheme is subject to the fulfilment or waiver (if capable of waiver) of the Conditions Precedent including, amongst other things, approval of the Scheme by the Suidwes Shareholders pursuant to the provisions of sections 114 and 115 of the Companies Act and that the Suidwes MOI Amendment Date be achieved. 1.3 The Scheme, including the Offer, does not constitute an \"affected transaction\" as defined in section 117(1)(c) of the Act since Suidwes is not a regulated company within the meaning of the Act. 1.4 Should the Scheme become unconditional, Senwes and Senwesbel shall acquire the Suidwes Shares from the Scheme Participants and the Scheme Participants will be deemed to have disposed of all of their Suidwes Shares for the Scheme Consideration, resulting in Suidwes becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Senwes Group. 2 Purpose of the Circular and application of the Takeover Regulations 2.1 As mentioned earlier, the Scheme and Offer do not constitute an \"affected transaction\" within the meaning of section 117(1)(c) of the Act and, as such, the Takeover Regulations do not apply to the Scheme. 2.2 It is specifically noted that, even though this Circular follows, in some respects, a similar format to the format prescribed for circulars in the Takeover Regulations, it should not be regarded as a circular within the meaning, or parameters, of the Takeover Regulations and the Circular does not fall within the parameters of Regulation 106 of the Takeover Regulations. 2.3 The purpose of this Circular is to provide Suidwes Shareholders with relevant information regarding the Scheme including: (a) the report of the Independent Expert’s prepared in terms of section 114(3) of the Act; (b) the recommendations of the Suidwes Board and the Boards of the Offerors in respect of the Scheme; and (c) the rationale, and context, behind the Notice and proposed Scheme Resolutions. This Circular is attached as Annexure C to the Notice. 3 Rationale For The Scheme The Suidwes Shareholders are referred to the letter from the Group Chief Executive of Senwes (acting on behalf of the Senwes Board) as included earlier in this Circular and which explains the rationale for the Scheme in detail. 54
4 Information of Senwes Group: Group Structure and Operational Segments 4.1 Senwes is one of the leading agricultural companies in South Africa, that is deeply rooted in agriculture and has a rich and proud history which extends over a period of 111 years. 4.2 Senwes serves the agricultural sector with a strategic focus which rests on a few pillars – agricultural services, resources, investments, logistical services, financial services and corporate support services. Senwes has over 60 active grain silo complexes and owns more than 25% of the total South African commercial storage capacity. Senwes is also the exclusive John Deere agent in the central region of South Africa and supplies mechanical services from 28 branches and 17 mechanisation workshops. The Senwes Group has business units in the Northwest, Free State, Gauteng, Mpumalanga, Kwazulu-Natal, Eastern Cape, Northern Cape and Western Cape and has personnel complement of just over 3 000 employees. 4.3 As at the Last Practicable Date, the Senwes Group structure comprises of the following main business segments: Market Access, Input Supply, Financial Services and Corporate Services, which are described more fully in the paragraphs below: 4.3.1 Market Access • Senwes Grainlink specialises in the handling and storage of grain and is positioned between the producer and the off taker. This link, which represents Senwes Grainlink in the producer value chain, is capable of handling approximately 20% of South Africa's grain and oilseeds in an average production year. The 59 silo complexes and ten depot structures have a total storage capacity of 4 600 000 tons, which represents more than 25% of the total South African commercial storage capacity. 55
Senwes Grainlink has 2 223 silo bins, where grain and oilseeds are received, dried, cleaned and stored. A more streamlined process has been put in place for the procurement and marketing of grain in order to optimise the turnaround times of producers and offtakers. The trading of grain is done on a central basis, although the procurement action is decentralised with 15 procurement offices. • Tradevantage Grain, a subsidiary of Senwes, the shareholding which is housed in Senwes Agrowth (Pty) Ltd and part of the Black Economic Empowerment structure, provides an extensive grain marketing and trading service to both national and international clients relating to maize, oilseeds, wheat and sundry soft commodities. • Grainovation, is a leading logistics operator in the agricultural sector and offers specialised logistics solutions to both producer and buyers of grain and oilseeds. • Senwes Seed plays a key role in the agri value chain in Orkney and Hartswater.

4.3.4 Thobo Trust Thobo Trust serves as strategic partner for Senwes' black economic empowerment and socio-economic development objectives. Farm workers, emerging farmers and communities in rural areas where Senwes conducts business, derive the most benefit from the trusts’ projects. The Thobo Trust is a shareholder in Senwes Agrowth (Pty) Ltd, in turn the holding company of Tradevantage Grain (Pty) Ltd. It also holds interests in Hinterland Fuels and OTKV as their BEE partner. 5 Main Shareholders Senwesbel was established as a public company as part of the scheme of arrangement with the members of the then Sentraalwes Co-operative Limited upon the conversion of the co-operative into a public company, Senwes, with the intent that Senwesbel would always hold a minimum of 35.1% of the shares in Senwes. As at the date of this Circular, Senwesbel holds nearly 53% interest in the issued share capital of Senwes. Senwesbel has been in existence for 24 years and does not conduct any operational business. Senwes, the primary subsidiary of Senwesbel, was incorporated as a public company on 10 April 1997 and was converted from a primary agricultural co-operative as such. The co-operative was established in 1909 and Senwes celebrates its 111th years anniversary in 2020. In terms of the Senwesbel MOI, only bona fide producers (farmers) are qualified to be or to become shareholders in Senwesbel. The control of the Senwes Group is therefore protected, and this can only be changed by means of special resolution of the shareholders amending the Senwesbel MOI. During September 2013, Grindrod Trading Holdings Proprietary Limited (“Grindrod”), a logistics company, acquired 20% of the issued share capital of Senwes from inter alia the previous empowerment shareholders of Senwesbel. Senwesbel and Grindrod together now own approximately 73% of the issued shares in Senwes. 6 Strategic progress and future prospects Senwes adopted a focused rolling ten year strategy in 2010 and achieved major growth in the Group over the past nine years. The following strategic actions have been implemented: • Innovation and Integration was adopted throughout all units in order to create improved co-ordination between business units, ensure better client service and increased control over marketing actions, better research and product development and the design of technological solutions, thereby increasing client intimacy and the consequent retention of clients. • Senwes also increased its appetite in the high probability grain trading book and concentrated and centralised this ability. Additional channels were established and Senwes and Absa Asset Management established a qualified Collective Investment Scheme as a Hedge Fund during September 2016. • The board of directors of Senwes approved the Senwes loyalty scheme known as “Agri Rewards” which focus on rewarding customers and at the same time, creating adequate value for the shareholder. The scheme was announced during August 2016 effective as from 1 May 2016. During 2019, the scheme unlocked value and offered participants an opportunity to convert its Agri Rewards benefits into shares in Senwes. This opportunity was accepted widely and 722 new Senwes shareholders joined the company. 58
The Senwes strategy, which is in the making, contains as the main drivers the following: • It is becoming increasingly clear that business in South Africa is in the process of externalising successfully to lower risk jurisdictions. Senwes’ objectives remain to externalise and to diversify at the same time. Expansion to new markets can address both aspects at the same time. • Joint ventures were one of the success stories the strategy will continue to build upon. Further consolidation via joint ventures will bring about critical mass due to strategic positioning, as well as synergies which will improve the sustainability and the ability of the business to survive. As soon as the platform has been established with sufficient critical mass, reorganisation and subsequent specialisation can follow, which will reposition the business for growth. • More extensive participation in the logistics networks is foreseen, particularly in view of inward and outward transport. The South African farmer is competing with prices in world markets at present and the current inefficiencies which relate to transport require a new, appropriate solution. Various role players in the value chain are already focusing on this aspect. • Certain areas in the grain value chain have been yielding good returns over time. Senwes attempts to increase its involvement in these areas. • Guided by Senwes’ purpose statement, mission, strategic goal, focus and evolution, its strategic focus areas are based on 6 (six) pillars, namely: Diversification, horizontal integration and consolidation, internal integration of the customer, reorganisation of business models, increased investment in efficiencies and externalisation and unlocking of value synergies. These focus areas are discussed in more detail in the strategic action plans for each and progress therewith are more comprehensively reported in the Senwes Annual Report 2019 on page 40. 59
SECTION B: TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE SCHEME In terms of section 114(1) of the Act, the Suidwes Board proposes the Scheme, as set out in this Section B between Suidwes and the Suidwes Shareholders. 1 Overview and effects of the Scheme 1.1 The Scheme will be implemented in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Act and the Regulations. 1.2 In terms of the Scheme, and subject to the Scheme becoming unconditional, the Offerors will acquire the Scheme Shares from the Scheme Participants for the Scheme Consideration, whereupon Suidwes will become a subsidiary of the Senwes Group. 1.3 If the Scheme becomes unconditional and, on and with effect from, the Implementation Date: (a) the Scheme Participants (whether or not they voted in favour of the Scheme, or abstained or refrained from voting) shall be deemed to have disposed of and transferred their Scheme Shares (including all rights, interests and benefits attaching thereto), free from Encumbrances, to the applicable Senwes or Senwesbel Offeror; (b) the applicable Offeror shall acquire and/or be deemed to have acquired registered and beneficial ownership, free of Encumbrances, of all the Scheme Shares; (c) the disposal, and transfer, by each Scheme Participant of the Scheme Shares held by such Scheme Participant to the applicable Offeror, and the acquisition of registered and beneficial ownership of those Scheme Shares by the applicable Offeror shall be effected; and (d) Scheme Participants shall be entitled to receive the Scheme Consideration, on the Scheme Consideration Payment Date. 1.4 Each Scheme Participant irrevocably, unconditionally authorises and empowers Suidwes in rem suam (that is, irrevocably for Suidwes’ advantage), as principal, with power of substitution, to cause the Scheme Shares held by such Scheme Participant to be disposed of and transferred to, and registered in the name of, the applicable Offeror on or at any time after the Implementation Date, and to do all such things and take all such steps (including the signing of any transfer form) as Suidwes in its discretion considers necessary in order to effect that transfer and registration. 1.5 Each Scheme Participant is deemed, on and with effect from the Implementation Date, to have warranted and undertaken in favour of the Offeror, that (i) with the exclusion of the Suidwes Shareholder Pledge, the relevant Scheme Shares are not subject to a pledge or otherwise Encumbered, or (ii) if subject to any such pledge or Encumbrance, such Scheme Shares shall be released from such pledge or other Encumbrance immediately on payment and discharge of the Scheme Consideration. In this regard such Scheme Participants irrevocably authorise and appoint Suidwes, Senwes and Senwesbel, in rem suam (that is, irrevocably for Suidwes, Senwesbel and Senwes' advantage), with full power of substitution, to act as agent in the name, place and stead of such Scheme Participants in doing all things and signing all documents in ensuring that the relevant Scheme Shares are released from any pledge or Encumbrance, including the removal of any endorsements to that effect present in the Register. 1.6 The Cash Consideration shall, in Suidwes' sole discretion and election, be reduced with an amount equal to any indebtedness which a Scheme Participant has towards any 60
entity within the Suidwes group as secured by way of the Suidwes Shareholder Pledge. Suidwes shall, therefore, in its sole discretion, be entitled to require that the Offeror make payment of the Cash Consideration directly to the applicable entity within the Suidwes group in order to settle the aforementioned indebtedness of the Scheme Participant, in full or in part, on behalf of such Scheme Participant. The Scheme Participant shall be deemed to authorise the Offeror, in rem suam (that is, irrevocably for Senwes’ or Senwesbel's advantage), as principal, with power of substitution, to cause the settlement, or partial settlement, of the Scheme Participant's indebtedness to the applicable Suidwes entity 1.7 Any Scheme Consideration remaining after such deduction shall be paid to the Scheme Participant. 1.8 Suidwes, as principal, shall procure that the Offerors, comply with its obligations under the Scheme, and Suidwes alone shall have the right to enforce those obligations (if necessary) against the Offeror. 1.9 The rights of the Scheme Participants to receive the Scheme Consideration will be rights enforceable by the Scheme Participants against Suidwes only. Scheme Participants will be entitled to require Suidwes to enforce its rights in terms of the Scheme against the applicable Offeror. 1.10 The effect of the Scheme, inter alia, will be that the Offeror, will, with effect from the Implementation Date, become the registered and beneficial owner of all the Suidwes Shares (including all rights, interests and benefits attaching thereto) and free of Encumbrances. 1.11 The Offerors and Suidwes agree that, upon the Scheme becoming unconditional, they will give effect to the terms and conditions of the Scheme and will take all actions and sign all necessary documents to give effect to, and implement, the Scheme. 1.12 The Scheme is subject to, amongst other things, approval from the Suidwes Shareholders. 2 Appraisal Rights Suidwes Shareholders are hereby advised of their Appraisal Rights in terms of section 164 of the Companies Act. Their attention is drawn to the provisions of that section which are set out in Annexure 6 to the Circular. 3 Dissenting Shareholders 3.1 Any Dissenting Shareholder that withdraws its demand made in terms of sections 164(5) to 164(8) of the Act, either voluntarily or pursuant to an order of Court, or that allows an offer by the Senwes Group in terms of section 164(11) of the Act to lapse without exercising its rights in terms of section 164(14) of the Act, shall: (a) on or prior to the Scheme Consideration Record Date, be deemed to be a Scheme Participant and be subject to the provisions of the Scheme; and (b) after the Scheme Consideration Record Date, be deemed to have been a Scheme Participant and be subject to the provisions of the Scheme, provided that settlement of the Scheme Consideration due to such Dissenting Shareholder, and the transfer of such Dissenting Shareholder’s Suidwes Shares to the applicable Offeror shall take place on the latest of (i) the Implementation Date, (ii) the Scheme Consideration Payment Date; and (iii) the date which is 5 (five) Business Days after that Dissenting Shareholder so withdrew its demand or allowed the offer to lapse, as the case may be. 61
3.2 The wording of section 164 of the Act (which sets out the Appraisal Rights) is included in Annexure 6 to this Circular. 4 Termination of the Scheme 4.1 Suidwes Shareholders should note that, notwithstanding that the Scheme Resolutions may have been approved in terms of section 115(3) of the Act, Suidwes will, in certain circumstances, not be permitted, to proceed to implement the Scheme without the approval of the Court. A copy of section 115 of the Act pertaining to the required approval(s) for the Scheme is set out in Annexure 6 to this Circular. Suidwes has agreed in the Implementation Agreement that it will not treat any Resolution as a nullity (as contemplated in section 115(5)(b) of the Act). 4.2 Failure or lapsing of the Scheme shall be without prejudice to the rights of Suidwes, Senwes or Senwesbel to bring any other claim or action available at Law against the other arising from a breach of the Implementation Agreement, and shall not affect those provisions of the Implementation Agreement which expressly provide that they will operate after any such failure or lapsing of the Scheme or which by implication must continue to have effect thereafter. 5 Selection of the Scheme Consideration by Ordinary Shareholder Scheme Participants 5.1 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 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. 5.2 Only Ordinary Shareholder Scheme Participants that meet the Qualifying Criteria may select the Consideration Shares option as set out in clause 5.15.1(b) above. 5.3 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 Suidwes Shares). 5.4 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. 5.5 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. 62
6 Scheme Consideration applicable in relation to the Preference Shareholder Scheme Participants 6.1 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. 6.2 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 2013 1,76 (one rand and seventy six cents) 2014 1,44 (one rand and forty four cents) 2015 1,39 (one rand and thirty nine cents) 2016 1,16 (one rand and sixteen cents) 2017 1.10 (one rand and ten cents) 2018 1,08 (one rand and eight cents) 6.3 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. 7 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. 8 Payment of Cash Consideration and issue of the Consideration Shares 8.1.1 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. 8.1.2 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, 63
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. 8.2 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. 8.3 Senwesbel confirms that it has sufficient authorised capital available to settle 100% (one hundred percent) of the Consideration Shares, so elected, by Ordinary Shareholder Scheme Participants as Qualifying Persons. 8.4 Senwes confirms that it has adequate cash resources available from its current banking facilities with Absa Bank Limited to settle 100% (one hundred percent) of the Ordinary Share Cash Consideration so elected by Ordinary Shareholder Scheme Participants and the Preference Share Cash Consideration payable to Preference Shareholder Scheme Participants. 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. 9 Conditions Precedent 9.1 The Scheme shall be subject to and suspensively conditional upon, the fulfilment or waiver, as the case may be that, by 31 August 2020, the Conditions Precedent have been fulfilled. 9.2 Without prejudice to the validity period of the Offer, the Offerors and Suidwes may, collectively, but not individually (irrespective of the fact that some of the Conditions Precedent have been stipulated for the benefit of any one entity), by agreement in writing, extend the date for the fulfilment of any one or more of the Conditions Precedent. 9.3 The Offerors and Suidwes shall use their reasonable commercial endeavours to procure the fulfilment of the Conditions Precedent within the timeframe permitted therefor in terms of paragraph 9.1. 9.4 An announcement as to whether the Scheme has become unconditional will be published to Suidwes Shareholders as soon as practically possible after the Scheme has been approved by the Competition Authorities which date is subject to change without prejudice to the rights of the Parties to extend the date for fulfilment of the Conditions Precedent or the non-fulfilment of any Condition Precedent. 64
10 Financial Effects 10.1 For a Senwesbel Shareholder: The pro forma financial effects on Senwesbel’s NAV per share, EPS and HEPS are reflected in Annexure 2. 11 Other terms of the Scheme 11.1 The Scheme may be amended, varied or revised in such manner as the Offerors in their sole discretion may determine, provided that no such amendment, variation or revision shall be made: (a) to reduce the value of the Scheme Consideration; and (b) unless an announcement containing the amendment, variation or revised Offer is made prior to the Scheme Consideration Record Date. 11.2 No amendment, variation or revision of the Scheme shall be valid, unless it is made in writing and signed by duly authorised representatives of the Offerors.
