In accordance with paragraph 6.71 of the JSE Listings Requirements and paragraph 6.42 of the Debt and Specialist
Securities Listings Requirements, and as previously announced on 21 May 2026, Investec confirms that Philip
Hourquebie retired as Group Chair and as a non-executive director of Investec Limited and Investec plc, and that
Stephen Koseff retired as a non-executive director of Investec Limited and Investec plc, in each case at the close of the
AGMs. Henrietta Baldock was appointed Group Chair with effect from the close of the AGMs.

Following Henrietta Baldock's appointment as Group Chair, Vivek Ahuja was appointed as Senior Independent Director
of Investec Limited and Investec plc with effect from the close of the AGMs. In this role, Vivek Ahuja will act as a sounding
board for the Group Chair, serve as an intermediary for the other directors where necessary and be available to
shareholders where concerns have not been resolved through the normal channels.

Vivek Ahuja was also appointed as acting Chair of the DLC Remuneration Committee with effect from the same date,
pending the appointment of a permanent Committee Chair. The acting appointment ensures continuity of leadership and
