Trading Statement

Santova is in the process of finalising its results for the six months ended 31 August 2026.

In terms of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, companies are required to publish a trading
statement as soon as they are satisfied that a reasonable degree of certainty exists that the financial
results for the period to be reported next will differ by at least 20% from the previous
corresponding reporting period.

Shareholders are accordingly advised that Santova has reasonable certainty that the Company is
expecting to announce earnings per share (“EPS”) and headline earnings per share (“HEPS’’) in
the following ranges:

                            Restated
                         6 Months to 31           6 Months to 31
                          August 2025              August 2026          % Change
            EPS              35.78c              54.34c to 56.13c       51.9% to 56.9%
            HEPS             35.68c              55.46c to 57.24c       55.4% to 60.4%

The primary drivers of the improved earnings performance were the inclusion of the Seabourne
Group for a full six-month period, improved foreign exchange movements relative to the prior
corresponding period, stronger trading performances across several of the Group's key operations,
particularly in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, and higher freight rates during the period.

The comparative results for the six months ended 31 August 2025 have been restated in accordance
with IFRS 3.45 following the finalisation of the purchase price allocation relating to the acquisition
of Seabourne Group Limited. The purchase price allocation was finalised on 28 February 2026
and resulted in adjustments to the comparative EPS and HEPS amounts presented above.

The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been reviewed or
audited by the Company’s external auditors, Moore Johannesburg Inc.

The Company’s interim results for the period ended 31 August 2026 are expected to be published
on SENS on or before 27 October 2026.
