Short Form Announcement Audited Consolidated Annual Financial Statements 2021 and B-BBEE Certificate PPC Ltd (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Company registration number: 1892/000667/06) JSE ISIN: ZAE000170049 JSE code: PPC ZSE code: PPC (“PPC” or “the company” or “the group”) SHORT FORM ANNOUNCEMENT AUDITED CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 B-BBEE CERTIFICATE Shareholders are advised that PPC has published their Audited Consolidated Annual Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2021 (“2021 AFS”). SALIENT FEATURES (CONTINUING OPERATIONS) Group revenue: R8 938 million (March 2020:R8 671 million) Group EBITDA: R1 598 million (March 2020: R1 381 million) Earnings per share: 65 cents (March 2020: 43 cents loss) Headline earnings per share: 3 cents (March 2020: 54 cents) Group free cash flow: R649 million (March 2020: R289 million outflow) The group did not declare a dividend in the current or previous period Roland van Wijnen, CEO, said: My gratitude goes to all my colleagues at PPC. They have worked tirelessly under very stringent health and safety protocols to keep PPC going and sustain our purpose of empowering people to experience a better quality of life. Despite the difficult trading conditions in most of our markets, our businesses have benefited from a recovery in cement demand, resulting in improved financial performance. The strategic repositioning of PPC as a leading cementitious player is progressing well, and we will redouble our efforts in the new financial year. We also achieved significant milestones in our capital restructuring and refinancing project, which remains a priority for PPC. So far, we have concluded an agreement with PPC Barnet's lenders, which terminates their right to recourse to PPC. We signed agreements for the sale of PPC Lime and our aggregates business in Botswana. We also agreed with our South African lending partners to defer the equity capital raise in South Africa from March 2021 to September 2021. We continue to engage with our lenders to find the most economically efficient way to recapitalise the South African business. 2021 AFS The group has, in accordance with IFRS 5 - Non-current assets held for sale, accounted for PPC Lime, Botswana Aggregates and PPC Barnet as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the assets, liabilities and profit and loss are reported separately in the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021. The following results commentary reflects an analysis of the group’s continuing operations unless specifically stated. The group's financial performance improved on the prior year despite the loss of sales due to the various lockdown restrictions imposed by the relevant authorities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Cement sales in South Africa benefited from solid retail demand in the inland region, while the coastal regions experienced a lagged recovery in demand. In Rwanda, CIMERWA also experienced strong cement sales due to the roll-out of government projects, retail demand and exports to the DRC. Although trading conditions in Zimbabwe were characterised by high inflation and a shortage of foreign currency, PPC Zimbabwe grew revenues and EBITDA in functional currency. However, a 75% devaluation in the Zimbabwean dollar against the South African rand resulted in a reduced contribution to the group's profitability. The materials business could not recover from the impact of the lockdowns, although it experienced increased demand in some market segments. Group revenue increased by 3% to R8 938 million (March 2020: R8 671 million) due to the recovery in cement sales. Excluding Zimbabwe, group revenue increased by 7%. Group earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation ("EBITDA") increased by 16% to R1 598 million (March 2020: R1 381 million) with an EBITDA margin of 17.9% (March 2020: 15.9%). EBITDA benefited from volume growth and stringent cost control. Excluding PPC Zimbabwe, group's EBITDA from continuing operations increased by 66%. Finance costs decreased by 19% to R283 million (March 2020: R349 million) due to lower average borrowings. Earnings per share ("EPS") for the period for continuing operations increased to 65 cents (March 2020: 43 cents loss) while headline earnings per share for continuing operations ("HEPS") reduced to 3 cents (March 2020: 54 cents). Operating profit increased by 75% year-on-year from R600 million to R1 051 million. Headline earnings from continuing operations, however, decreased from R787 million to R77million, due to the impact of the following non- cash pre-tax items impacted headline earnings: • Fair value adjustments and foreign exchange movements resulted in a loss of R376 million (March 2020: R151 million gain), mainly due to strengthening of the South African rand against the US dollar during the year. The South African rand depreciated against the US dollar in the prior year. • A profit of R251 million in the previous year relating to the DRC put option. • A net fair value gain on the Zimbabwe financial asset of R256 million (2020: R7 million). • A net fair value loss on the Zimbabwe blocked funds of R17 million (2020: R258 million). • Accounting for Zimbabwe in terms of IAS 29 - Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies, resulted in a net monetary loss of R200 million (March 2020: R651 million gain). Cash available from operations amounted to R1 022 million (March 2020: R273 million). Cash generation benefited from improvements in EBITDA, reduction in working capital absorption, and lower finance cost paid. Cash generation and preservation is a key performance measure for PPC. Gross debt amounted to R2 628 million on 31 March 2021 (March 2020: R5 800 million). The R3 172 million decline in gross debt includes R2 482 million relating to the DRC transferred to liabilities associated with assets held for sale and disposal groups. Outlook Despite the recovery in cement demand in most of its markets, PPC is mindful of the prevailing uncertainties around the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on economic activity. PPC will remain focused on improving cost competitiveness and cash generation. PPC will take the necessary strategic and operational measures to ensure that it can continue to serve its customers, protect its employees and implement strategic initiatives to ensure financial sustainability through all demand cycles.

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation ("EBITDA") for continuing operations is expected to increase by between 14% and 18% compared to EBITDA in the prior period. This increase is notwithstanding the Group incurring significant restructuring costs in the current financial year and a full lock-down In April 2020 due to COVID with continuing COVID impacts thereafter. Earnings per share ("EPS") for the period for continuing operations is expected to be between 63 cents and 68 cents per share, an increase of between 247% and 258% from the 43 cents per share loss for the prior period.

Headline earnings is impacted by the impairments of property, plant and equipment raised at 31 March 2020, some of which are now reversed as at 31 March 2021. Earnings and headline earnings for the 2021 financial year are impacted by hyperinflation accounting in terms of IAS 29 - Financial accounting in hyperinflationary economies, resulting in a net monetary loss of R200 million in the current year compared to a gain of R651 million in the prior period.

PPC Disposal of PPC Lime Limited and withdrawal of cautionary PPC Limited (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Registration number: 1892/000667/06) ISIN: ZAE000170049 Share Code: PPC ZSE code: PPC (“PPC” or the “Company” or the “Group”) PPC DISPOSAL OF PPC LIME LIMITED AND WITHDRAWAL OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT 1. INTRODUCTION Shareholders of the Company (“Shareholders”) are referred to the announcement released on the Stock Exchange News Service (“SENS”) on 31 March 2021 titled ‘Restructuring and refinancing project update, operational update and renewal of cautionary announcement’ (the “Restructuring and Refinancing Update Announcement”), wherein Shareholders were advised on the status of the restructuring and refinancing project underway along with an update on the sale of PPC Lime Limited (“PPC Lime”). The board of directors of PPC is pleased to announce that on 2 May 2021, PPC South Africa Holdings Proprietary Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Vendor”), entered into transaction agreements with Kgatelopele Lime Proprietary Limited (“Kgatelopele Lime” or the “Acquirer”), to dispose of the entire issued share capital of PPC Lime for a consideration of R515 million (the “Divestment”) on the terms and conditions set out in this announcement. 2. BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON THE ACQUIRER Kgatelopele Lime is a private company, incorporated in accordance with the laws of South Africa, formed for the purposes of the acquisition of PPC Lime. The shareholders of Kgatelopele Lime comprise: - IMR Resources South Africa Proprietary Limited (“IMR SA”) – IMR SA is part of the IMR Group, a privately held international minerals resources mining and trading company based in Switzerland involved in global trading, mining, marketing and financing of a wide variety of bulk commodities related to the iron and steel sector. Established in 2004, IMR has grown its global footprint, generating c.US$3 billion in annual revenue while also expanding downstream/ upstream to own and manage a number of industrial and mining assets across several geographical locations; - Kolobe Nala Investment Lime Proprietary Limited (“KNI”) – KNI is a 100% black-owned, mining- focused investment holding company. KNI is indirectly owned by Mr. Billy Mawasha. Mr. Mawasha has extensive experience in the South African mining sector having held various executive positions at AngloGold Ashanti, Kumba Iron Ore and Rio Tinto. Mr. Mawasha currently serves as an independent non-executive Director of Murray & Roberts Limited and Metair Investments Limited; - HEX2M Energy Holdings Proprietary Limited (“HEX”) – HEX is a 100% black youth owned mining- focused investment holding company wholly owned by Mr. Sizwe Mngomezulu. Together with Mr. Mawasha, Mr. Mngomezulu owns and manages NPL Mining Solutions Proprietary Limited, a chemical and minerals trading and beneficiation business; and - JJJL Mining Proprietary Limited (“JJJL”) – JJJL is an entity that is 100% owned by Mr. Johannes Claassen, the previous Chief Executive Officer of PPC. Mr. Claassen has an in-depth understanding of PPC Lime and its operations. Post conclusion of the Divestment, PPC Lime is expected to be 39% black-owned, being 29% owned by strategic Black Economic Empowerment (“BEE”) investors, 5% owned by relevant PPC Lime employees and 5% owned by host communities of PPC Lime, in accordance with the requirements of the 2018 Mining Charter. The Acquirer meets PPC’s requirements of concluding a transaction with a credible buyer with strong mining, operational and financial capacity and BEE credentials that introduce limited risk to the execution of the Divestment. 3. BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON PPC LIME PPC Lime is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PPC which mines, manufactures and distributes reactive lime, hard burnt lime, hydrated lime, burnt dolomitic lime and raw limestone. PPC Lime is a leading supplier of these products to key industries, including iron and steel, alloys, gold, uranium and copper mining, non-ferrous metals, sugar refining, water treatment and flue gas desulphurisation. PPC Lime commenced operations in 1954 in Lime Acres, Northern Cape on an extensive reserve of metallurgical quality limestone and dolomite. PPC Lime continues to mine out of two quarries, mining dolomite and limestone respectively, along with the rotary kiln plant to manufacture the burnt product. PPC Lime generated revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (“EBITDA”) for the year ended 31 March 2020 of c.R858 million and c.R110 million respectively. 4. RATIONALE As previously communicated to Shareholders, in CY2020, PPC embarked on a restructuring and refinancing project to align the business with its revised strategy. In terms of the revised strategy, PPC Lime was identified as a non-core operation to the Group and a structured sale process was initiated in December 2020. 5. SALIENT TERMS OF THE DIVESTMENT The agreed consideration for the Divestment is R515 million on a debt-free and cash-free basis (“Consideration”). The Consideration is payable in cash and is subject to adjustment for net debt and cash-like items and payment of “locked box” interest from 1 April 2021 until the closing date of the Divestment, which is expected to be before the end of this year. The rights, benefits and advantages of PPC Lime accrue to the Acquirer from 1 April 2021 in terms of a “locked box structure”. The Divestment includes contractual undertakings usual for a transaction of this nature, including those relating to representation and warranties and interim-period undertakings. The Divestment includes a reciprocal break fee of c.5% of the Consideration (c.R25 million) (the “Break Fee”). The Break Fee is payable should the Acquirer or the Acquirer’s shareholders or the Vendor breach any of their respective obligations and as a result of such breach, the conditions to the Divestment are not met and the Divestment is consequently not implemented. 6. PROFITS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PPC LIME AND NET ASSETS The attributable loss after tax of PPC Lime for the six months ended 30 September 2020 was R2m and as at 30 September 2020 PPC Lime had a net asset value of R435 million, as reported in the Company’s unaudited interim financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and published in December 2020. The Company is satisfied with the quality of the unaudited interim financial statements from which this financial information has been extracted. 7. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT AND EFFECTIVE DATE The Divestment is subject to the fulfilment of, inter alia, the following conditions precedent by 31 December 2021: - Approval of the Divestment by the relevant competition authorities in terms of the Competition Act, Act 89 of 1998; - Consent of the Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy in terms of section 11 of the Minerals and Petroleum Resources Development Act, Act 28 of 2002; - Written proof being obtained to the satisfaction of PPC and the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy that the Acquirer has made financial provision in respect of the rehabilitation liability of PPC Lime. In this regard, Shareholders are advised that the current rehabilitation trust funds for PPC Lime held within the PPC Group in terms of section 37A of the Income Tax Act, Act 62 of 1968, will be transferred to PPC Lime as part of the Divestment; and - Exemption being granted in terms of section 119(6) of the Companies Act, Act 71 of 2008 from the application of Parts B and C of Chapter 5 of the Companies Act and the Takeover Regulations with respect to the implementation of the Divestment. The effective date of the Divestment will be the last day of the month in which the last of the conditions precedent, detailed above, have been met. PPC view these conditions precedent as typical for a transaction of this nature. 8. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS The proceeds from the sale of PPC Lime will be applied to de-gear PPC’s South African balance sheet. As communicated in the Restructuring and Refinancing Update Announcement, PPC’s South African lenders agreed to review the need for a capital raise by the Company of a minimum amount of R750 million, to which it committed in August 2020, should the South African businesses continue to de-gear towards a sustainable debt metric of c.2x EBITDA. The proceeds of the Divestment will assist in achieving this key milestone. 9. CATEGORISATION OF THE DIVESTMENT The Divestment constitutes a Category 2 transaction in terms of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements and the Acquirer is not a related party. 10. WITHDRAWAL OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT Shareholders are referred to the Restructuring and Refinancing Update Announcement and are hereby advised that having regard to the information contained in this announcement, caution is no longer required to be exercised by Shareholders when dealing in the Company’s securities.

Restructuring and refinancing project update, operation update and renewal of cautionary PPC Ltd (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Company registration number 1892/000667/06) JSE ISIN: ZAE000170049 JSE code: PPC ZSE code: PPC (“PPC” or “Company” or “Group”) RESTRUCTURING AND REFINANCING PROJECT UPDATE, OPERATIONAL UPDATE AND RENEWAL OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT Shareholders of the Company (“Shareholders”) are referred to the previous announcements released on the Stock Exchange News Service, including the Restructuring and Refinancing Project Update and Renewal of Cautionary Announcement released on 25 February 2021, wherein they were advised on the status of the restructuring and refinancing project (“Project”) underway. RESTRUCTURING AND REFINANCING PROJECT UPDATE PPC is pleased to report that it has made significant progress in implementing a sustainable capital structure and improving the investment prospects of the Group, including de-risking the Group’s balance sheet through the removal of its contingent obligations in relation to PPC Barnet, its operations in the Democratic Republic of Congo (“DRC”). Resolution of DRC Exposures PPC has entered into a binding agreement with PPC Barnet’s lenders terminating their right to recourse to PPC, which, in the event of acceleration, would have been an amount of c.US$175 million (“Settlement Agreement”). The Settlement Agreement is effective on the payment of a final deficiency settlement amount of US$16.5 million, which PPC expects to make in early April 2021. Simultaneously, PPC has entered into a binding term sheet to restructure the c.US$175 million senior debt in PPC Barnet as part of implementing a sustainable capital structure for that business. The key terms of the restructuring include: • Reinstatement of a portion of the PPC Barnet lenders’ senior debt and conversion of a portion to a pay-as-you-can preference share in PPC Barnet, front ranking other PPC Barnet creditors and shareholders; • Granting a right to PPC Barnet lenders to require PPC to capitalise PPC’s shareholder loans made to PPC Barnet (including the US$16.5m final settlement payment) to ordinary and preferred equity in PPC Barnet, so as to restore the solvency of the business, if required; • PPC will manage the business on behalf of the PPC Barnet lenders under a management agreement for an initial five year term. The management agreement provides for a fee, enabling PPC to recover its costs over the term of the contract; and • The restructuring is to be completed by 30 September 2021. PPC has also reached agreement with the DRC minority shareholder in PPC Barnet’s holding company, PPC Barnet DRC Holdings Mauritius, ensuring alignment of interests and support for the implementation of the restructuring of the business going forward. The Settlement Agreement and related agreements de-risk PPC from future economic downside risk to the DRC operations and effectively directs the economics of the business to the PPC Barnet lenders. Whilst PPC will retain both an ordinary equity and preferred equity interest in PPC Barnet, given its deep subordination to the PPC Barnet lenders, limited economic benefits are expected to flow to PPC in the short to medium term from this business. PPC expects to no longer consolidate the results of PPC Barnet on the implementation of the restructure. The conclusion of the Settlement Agreement represents a significant milestone in the restructuring and refinancing project, providing clarity on what has been a significant overhang on the Group by removing a potential c.US$175 million liability from the Group’s balance sheet. It is also expected to restore investor confidence in the Group and free up management time to focus on core operations and other long-term strategic initiatives. Habesha Cement Share Company (“Habesha”) Habesha, the Ethiopian associate of the Group, started to deliver positive month to month EBITDA in its ramp-up phase. Habesha has appointed advisors to develop a financial restructuring plan to optimise its capital structure, the results of which are expected to be presented to the Habesha board towards mid-2021. Whilst PPC sees long-term value in the business, PPC has no obligation to support the business nor invest further capital. PPC will assess the restructuring proposal, when presented later this year, on its merits and act accordingly. PPC International capital raise The process to raise capital in PPC International is still underway, albeit subject to potential deferral pending the outcome of the Habesha restructuring and the implementation of the DRC restructuring. With the resolution of the DRC exposures the capital raise for PPC International is no longer required for the implementation of a sustainable capital structure of the Group. Sale of PPC Lime The structured sales process for PPC Lime continues to make good progress, with shortlisted parties having completed due diligence and binding offers are expected to be received by early April 2021. PPC will assess these offers in the context of shareholder value creation and targets entering into definitive sale agreements by the end of May 2021, should any of the offers be acceptable. South African Lenders and equity capital raise In terms of the undertakings provided to its South African lenders (“SA Lenders”), and subject to the resolution of its DRC exposures, PPC committed in August 2020 to an equity capital raise of not less than R750m by 31 March 2021 in order to de-gear its South African balance sheet (“Capital Raise”). PPC is pleased to advise that its SA Lenders have agreed to defer the timing of the Capital Raise by six months to the end of September 2021. The SA Lenders have also agreed to review the need for the Capital Raise should the South African businesses continue to de-gear towards a sustainable debt metric of c.2x EBITDA. Shareholders will be kept up to date as progress is made towards the achievement of this key milestone. OPERATIONAL UPDATE The Group experienced a double-digit period-on-period growth in cement sales from July 2020 to February 2021 despite new COVID-19 restrictions in certain markets. PPC’s ability to respond to the strong increase in demand following the easing of lockdown restrictions at the beginning of the 2021 financial year, has resulted in a significant improvement in the Group’s financial performance. Group Revenue Performance PPC Group revenue increased by 7% period-on-period for the eleven months ended February 2021 and 14% for the five months ended February 2021, driven primarily by strong cement demand in South Africa. South Africa & Botswana Cement Cement sales increased by 3% to 5% period-on-period for the eleven months ended February 2021 and 15% to 20% period-on-period for the five months ended February 2021. Sales to the retail sector were the primary drivers of demand, with particularly robust demand experienced in the rural and informal markets. Demand growth in the inland areas offset declines in the coastal regions and Botswana. A lagged recovery in commercial construction demand accounted for the decrease in sales in the coastal areas. PPC implemented price increases to recover input cost inflation. South African cement producers have engaged the relevant authorities to have locally produced cement classified as a designated product. The designation will make it compulsory for locally produced cement to be used in government-funded construction projects and will prohibit the use of imported cement in such projects. Upon implementation, the local cement industry is expected to benefit from increased demand once the Government’s infrastructure build programme gathers momentum. Cement imports, which continue to pose a threat to the industry, rebounded strongly after easing of the lockdown restrictions. PPC estimates that cement imports were in line with the prior year at 1.2 million tonnes and accounted for 8% of demand for the twelve months ended December 2020. Together with The Concrete Institute and other industry players, PPC has applied to the relevant authorities for relief against this unfair competition. A verification report confirming receipt of all the required information for the application process has been received, and a decision by the relevant authorities to initiate an investigation is pending. The presence of non-conforming cement in South Africa remains a major threat to consumers. PPC continues to educate retailers and customers about the risks of using such products. Materials For the eleven months ended February 2021, ash sales benefited from increased cement demand and the shortage of alternative extenders like slag, while demand for aggregates increased due to construction demand. Readymix sales reduced as a result of a lagged recovery in commercial construction activity. Overall, the materials division revenues were flat period-on-period for the 11 months ended February 2021. Lime Lime sales declined by 39% period-on-period for the 11 months ended February 2021 and 25% period-on-period for the five months ended February 2021 due to a decline in steel-related activity. The closure of operations by a significant customer further reduced the demand for lime products. Initiatives are underway to optimise costs and diversify the customer base to mitigate these challenges and a strong recovery is expected. Strict cost management and focus on net working capital reduction has resulted in a stronger cash generation compared to the same period in the prior year. Zimbabwe PPC Zimbabwe continues to trade well. For the eleven months ended February 2021, PPC Zimbabwe cement sales increased by 10% period-on- period and 11% period-on-period for the five months ended February 2021. Retail demand, concrete product manufacturers and Government- funded projects are the main drivers of cement sales. PPC adjusted cement prices upwards in the second half of the 2021 financial year to recover input cost inflation. Rwanda CIMERWA experienced a period-on-period increase of 7% in sales for the eleven months ended February 2021 and 3% for the five months ended February 2021. The Rwandan authorities imposed a second lockdown early in 2021 which resulted in a slow-down in economic activity. A new cement producer in Rwanda has commenced operations but, to date, the impact on CIMERWA’s cement sales is negligible as demand in Rwanda exceeds domestic production. DRC Sales in the DRC were less affected by COVID-19. PPC Barnet sales increased by 16% period-on-period for the 11 months ended February 2021 and 26% period-on-period for the five months ended February 2021, driven by the expansion of cement distribution into new territories. Pricing was stable in US$. Group EBITDA Group EBITDA increased by 25% to 30% period-on-period for the eleven months ended February 2021 and 45% to 50% period-on-period for the five months ended February 2021 benefiting from increased cement sales and stringent cost control. Liquidity and cash flow The Group has experienced the positive impact of improved cement sales, cost reduction measures, enhanced working capital management and cash preservation measures implemented over the 11 months to February 2021. The South African debt has reduced from R1.92 billion at 31 March 2020 to R1.64 billion at the end of February 2021. Given the improved financial performance and reduction in gearing levels, in particular in South Africa, key debt metrics are returning to traditional banking covenant levels. The Group is in good standing with its lenders, with sufficient headroom in existing facilities to meet its operational requirements. As discussed under “Resolution of DRC Exposures” above, the cUS$175 million owed by PPC Barnet to its lenders has been resolved and will be converted into a combination of re-instatement of senior debt and a pay-as-you-can preference share. The Settlement Agreement with the PPC Barnet lenders materially de-risks the Group balance sheet. Group free cash flow for the 11 months ended February 2021 is between 90% to 95% higher than the previous comparable 11 month period. Earnings guidance Currently, the Board of Directors of PPC Ltd (“Board”) does not have the required certainty to provide guidance on the potential change in earnings per share nor the likely range for earnings per share for the year ending 31 March 2021. The Board will communicate this to the market once it has the required certainty. Outlook Although the Group is experiencing positive momentum across most of its markets, it remains cautious on the outlook for cement demand given the prevailing uncertainties around the COVID-19 pandemic and its resultant impact on economic activity. PPC will remain focused on continuing to improve cost competitiveness through cost management initiatives and cash management. It will take the necessary measures to ensure that it can continue to serve its customers, protect its employees, and implement strategic initiatives to ensure financial sustainability through all demand cycles. The financial information contained in this announcement has neither been reviewed nor reported on by the Company’s external auditors. Change in Group CFO As communicated to shareholders at the Group’s interim results in December 2020, Ms. Ronel van Dijk will step down as Group CFO with effect from 31 March 2021 and Ms. Brenda Berlin will take over as Group CFO on 1 April 2021. The Board appreciates the dedication of Ms. van Dijk, who played a pivotal role in guiding the Company through one of its most difficult periods, including negotiations with lenders to address the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns and the delivery of the 2020 audited financial statements and half year results for 2021 under very difficult circumstances. The Board welcomes Ms. Berlin to Team PPC and looks forward to her contribution in further strengthening the financial reporting and controls of the Company. RENEWAL OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT With reference to the information included in this announcement relating to the progress on the Project, the conclusion of the Settlement Agreement and the Capital Raise, Shareholders of PPC are advised to continue to exercise caution when dealing in the securities of PPC until a further announcement regarding the outcome of the possible sale of PPC Lime is made.

PPC is able to report that it continues to make positive progress against key milestones on the Project. • In South Africa, all conditions precedent relating to the renewal of short and long term facilities with its South African lenders, including the registration of security, have been fulfilled. Agreed facilities provide adequate headroom for the South African operations’ ongoing requirements. • In the DRC, substantive negotiations continue with the DRC Lenders to implement a sustainable capital structure for PPC Barnet (DRC) and to remove any recourse to PPC Ltd for the provision of deficiency funding to these operations. The negotiations are being conducted under the terms of a formal standstill agreement, which is effective until 31 March 2021. PPC and the DRC Lenders target resolution of the matter ahead of 31 March 2021. • The process to raise capital in PPC International continues, with expressions of interest received from various parties being considered. • The structured sales process for PPC Lime is ongoing, with a number of non- binding offers received at the end of January 2021 and short-listed parties progressing to due diligence. PPC continues to target deal certainty by the end of March 2021. As previously disclosed, subject to the resolution of its DRC exposure, PPC has committed to an equity capital raise by 31 March 2021 in order to de-gear its South African balance sheet. Whilst positive progress is being made on the Project, PPC will be formally engaging with its South African lenders to extend the timing of the capital raise by three months to the end of June 2021, when certainty on the key elements of the restructuring is expected. Shareholders are therefore advised to continue to exercise caution when dealing in securities of PPC until the funding arrangements with its respective lenders are finalised and details of the proposed restructuring and refinancing are published.

Summarised consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2020 PPC Ltd (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Company registration number: 1892/000667/06) JSE ISIN: ZAE000170049 JSE code: PPC ZSE code: PPC (“PPC” or “the company” or “the Group”) SHORT FORM ANNOUNCEMENT - SUMMARISED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020 SALIENT FEATURES - Group revenue: R5 006 million (September 2019: R4 948 million) - Group EBITDA: R996 million (September 2019: R868 million) - Earnings per share: 19 cents (September 2019: 32 cents, restated) - Headline earnings per share: 19 cents (September 2019: 32 cents, restated) - Cash flow generated from operations: R 981 million (September 2019: R 503 million) - The Group did not declare a dividend in the current or previous period Roland van Wijnen, chief executive officer, said: “After a difficult start to the financial year as a result of the COVID-19 related trading restrictions across the jurisdictions in which we operate, I am pleased that we are once again able to serve our customers and play our part in keeping the economy going. My gratitude goes to my colleagues who have been working diligently to keep our operations running while observing stringent health and safety protocols. Our business has benefitted from a strong recovery in cement sales in all our markets post the easing of the lockdown restrictions, and this has resulted in improved financial performance for the Group. Our efforts to improve cost competitiveness and reposition PPC on a sound financial footing are yielding encouraging results, and we are making good progress on our capital restructuring project, which remains a key priority for the Group." GROUP PERFORMANCE Despite the initial COVID-19 related trading restrictions, Group revenue increased by 1% to R5 006 million (September 2019: R4 948 million) due to robust cement sales post the easing of COVID-19 restrictions across the jurisdictions in which the group operates. Cost of sales reduced by 4% to R3 895 million (September 2019: R4 042 million, restated) compared with the previous year due to cost savings, the decline in volumes, and a reduction in depreciation and amortisation. Administration and other operating expenditure declined by 10% to R492 million (September 2019: R548 million, restated) driven by the successful efforts to improve cost competitiveness. Group EBITDA increased by 15% to R996 million (September 2019: R868 million) with an EBITDA margin of 19.9% (September 2019: 17.5%). Operating profits increased by 77% to R610 million (September 2019: R344 million, restated). Fair value adjustments and foreign exchange movements resulted in a loss of R366 million (September 2019: R120 million loss, restated), mostly as a result of the revaluation of foreign-denominated intercompany loan accounts. The fair value gain on the Zimbabwe financial asset of R139 million (September 2019: R113 million, restated) consists of intrinsic value gain of R202 million and credit risk fair value loss of R63 million (September 2019: R76 million). Zimbabwe blocked funds resulted in a fair value loss of R10 million (September 2019: R212 million loss, restated). The application of IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies resulted in a net monetary gain amounting to R326 million (September 2019: R514 million). Finance costs increased by 5% to R330 million (September 2019: R313 million, restated) due to currency movements on foreign currency denominated debt. South African finance costs decreased by 5% to R106 million (September 2019: R111 million, restated) while international finance costs increased by 11% to R224 million (September 2019: R202 million). Excluding unfavourable currency movements, international finance costs declined by 6%. Taxation decreased to R109 million relative to R195 million, restated in September 2019. After taking into account the above fair value adjustments and hyperinflation, earnings and headline earnings attributable to shareholders of PPC Ltd declined by 37% to R287 million. Net cash inflow from operating activities amounted to R769 million (September 2019: R244 million, restated). Cash generation benefitted from improvements in EBITDA and a reduction in working capital absorption to R21 million (September 2019: R342 million absorption). Cash generation and preservation remain a key priority for the group. Capital investments in property, plant and equipment decreased by 26% to R166 million (September 2019: R225 million). Gross debt amounted to R5 218 million at 30 September 2020 (September 2019: R5 131 million). Gross debt declined by R582 million from 31 March 2020. The currency impact on foreign currency-denominated debt is a reduction of R304 million from 31 March 2020 to 30 September 2020. CEMENT SOUTH AFRICA AND BOTSWANA PPC experienced muted cement sales in April and May 2020 as a result of COVID-19 related trading restrictions in South Africa. Cement sales have since rebounded with double-digit year-on-year growth since June 2020. The increase in volumes is primarily retail led. PPC is also beginning to experience the positive impact of increased infrastructure spending. Over the first six months of FY21, PPC South Africa and Botswana cement volumes declined by 5% to 10% with declines in the coastal regions offsetting growth in the inland areas. Q1 cement sales declined by more than 35%, followed by a strong rebound of 20% to 25% in Q2. The sales momentum has continued into October and November. PPC estimates that the South African cement industry sales volumes were in line with prior year despite the COVID-19 related sales restrictions. A shortage of extenders has impacted blender activity, and this has benefitted integrated cement producers such as PPC. The availability of non-conforming cement in the market remains a concern for the industry over the medium term. Cement imports continue to pose a threat to the sustainability of the South African cement industry. Although imports of cement and clinker decreased by approximately 6% to 621 609 tonnes in the current reporting period due to the lockdown restrictions, this is likely to change as the global economy reopens. PPC, in conjunction with The Concrete Institute (TCI) and other industry players, have applied to the relevant authorities for relief against unfair competition. All the necessary documentation and processes have been completed. PPC has received a verification report confirming receipt of all required information for the application process and is now awaiting the initiation of an investigation by the regulator. Revenue in South Africa and Botswana declined by 8% to R2 355 million (September 2019: R2 555 million). Average realised selling prices were flat on prior year as change in the product mix offset the impact of price increases. EBITDA reduced by 8% to R337 million (September 2019: R367 million) with EBITDA margin of 14.3% (September 2019: 14.4%). MATERIALS BUSINESS Aggregates, readymix and ash Revenue decreased by 20% to R514 million (September 2019: R645 million), primarily as a result of reduced volumes in the aggregates division. Demand for aggregates is beginning to benefit from increased infrastructure spend with double-digit year-on-year volume growth in September. EBITDA decreased to a loss of R6 million (September 2019: R35 million) due to the decline in volumes. Lime The lime division’s revenue declined by 36% to R279 million (September 2019: R434 million) with volumes and pricing under pressure due to the decline in steel-related activity. The shut-down of operations by a major customer further reduced demand for lime products. A number of initiatives have been implemented to improve the performance of this business. EBITDA contracted by 56% to R22 million (September 2019: R50 million) primarily due to a similar decline in volumes. With the reported shortage of locally manufactured steel, PPC expects demand to recover in the latter part of the financial year. INTERNATIONAL Zimbabwe Although trading conditions in Zimbabwe were characterised by a challenging economic environment and the impact of COVID-19 related lockdown restrictions, domestic cement volumes grew by 5% - 10%, supported by ongoing infrastructure projects. PPC Zimbabwe cement sales grew in the similar range, supported by an increase in volumes of 35% to 40% in Q2. The positive sales momentum has continued into October and November, albeit at a normalised rate. Revenue increased by 60% to R797 million (September 2019: R497 million). Cement pricing was adjusted to account for the increase in inflation and the devaluation of the local currency. Realised selling prices in US$ increased by 23%. EBITDA improved by 62% to R326 million (September 2019: R201 million) and EBITDA margins improved to 40.9%, versus 40.4% in September 2019. PPC Zimbabwe continues to meet its debt obligations in-country while remaining financially self-sufficient, and recently declared a dividend to its shareholders of US$6.6 million, of which PPC is entitled to US$4.7 million. PPC received US$4.4 million after withholding tax. Rwanda In Rwanda, CIMERWA continues to benefit from robust cement demand, driven by large infrastructure projects, growth in the retail market and export demand from the eastern DRC. Like the other jurisdictions in which PPC operates, cement sales were affected by COVID-19 related restrictions imposed by the authorities. CIMERWA cement sales in Q1 were broadly in line with prior year, with a strong recovery in Q2. For the six months ended 30 September 2020, CIMERWA achieved revenue growth of 28% to R659 million (September 2019: R514 million), supported by a 10% increase in volumes, stable pricing in US$, and translation gains. EBITDA increased by 35% to R211 million (September 2019: R156 million) due to higher revenues and stringent cost control. EBITDA margins improved to 32.0% from 30.4% in September 2019. DRC PPC Barnet in the DRC achieved revenue growth of 33% to R402 million (September 2019: R303 million), driven by volume growth of 8%, higher pricing in US$ and translation gains. EBITDA improved by 64% to R133 million (September 2019: R81 million) with corresponding margins of 33.1%. EBITDA benefitted from stringent cost control, entrenchment of our route to market strategies, as well as the positive EBITDA impact of clinker and cement inventory movements in the period. The financial information contained in this announcement has neither been reviewed nor reported on by the Company´s external auditors. RESTRUCTURING AND REFINANCING UPDATE PPC continues to make good progress against key milestones in its restructuring and refinancing project with the objective of implementing a sustainable capital structure and improving the investment prospects of the group. In South Africa, PPC has signed facilities agreements with its two primary South African lenders, who provide R1.85 billion of long term facilities and R625 million of short term facilities. The final terms of these agreements are substantially the same as those disclosed in note 36 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020. PPC is also finalising documentation relating to the provision of security, including a security pool arrangement comprising immovable property, debtors and inventory. PPC has also agreed revised terms with its third South African lender for a working capital facility of R175 million, which has now removed the requirement of being part of the security pool arrangement. In the DRC, PPC has signed a formal standstill agreement with its DRC lenders. The final terms of the agreement are substantially the same as those of the termsheet agreed at the end of August 2020, as disclosed in note 36 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020. PPC is actively engaging with the DRC Lenders, who have now appointed financial and legal advisors, on a detailed restructuring plan. Following a number of unsolicited approaches regarding PPC Lime, PPC has decided to accelerate the sale of PPC Lime and appointed financial advisors to manage a structured sales process of the business. PPC is targeting deal certainty by the end of Q1 2021. OUTLOOK Although the group is experiencing positive sales momentum across most of its markets, PPC remains cautious on the outlook for the rest of FY21 given the ongoing health crisis and its resultant impact on economic activity. PPC will remain focused on cash preservation and improving cost competitiveness by lowering operational costs. Management changes During the first 6 months of the year, PPC restructured its Group Administration functions with the aim to increase country responsibility and reduce overhead costs. This resulted in the Group Human Resource department being reduced whilst the Legal & Compliance and Company Secretarial departments were merged. Consequently, the Group HR Executive, Ms. Phindokuhle Mohlala and the Group Company Secretary, Ms. Kristell Holtzhausen, have agreed to leave PPC. Mr. Kevin Ross has been appointed as the Group Company Secretary effective 1 January 2021, in addition to his responsibilities as Group Head Legal & Compliance. The Board wishes to thank Ms. Mohlala and Ms. Holtzhausen for their dedicated service to PPC and wishes them well in their future endeavours. The Group CFO, Ms. Ronel van Dijk, has decided to step down with effect from 31 March 2021 to rebalance her other commitments. Ms. Brenda Berlin will join PPC as Group CFO Designate from 15 February 2021 to formally take over as Group CFO on 1 April 2021. Ms. Berlin is currently CFO and acting CEO at MC Mining and will contribute a wealth of experience and knowledge to PPC’s Finance function. Prior to MC Mining, Ms. Berlin served as CFO of Impala Platinum Holdings Limited (“Implats”) for seven years. To ensure a smooth handover, Ms. van Dijk has agreed to assist the Company with the upcoming year-end results and the audit process on a consultancy basis starting 1 April 2021. During her time at PPC, Ms. van Dijk played a pivotal role in guiding the Company through one of its most difficult periods, which included negotiations with lenders to address the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns. She has also introduced various initiatives aimed at improving the Group’s reporting processes and internal controls. The Board appreciates the dedication of Ms. van Dijk who has been instrumental in the delivery of the 2020 audited financial statements under very difficult circumstances. The Board welcomes Ms. Berlin to Team PPC and looks forward to her contribution in further strengthening the financial reporting and controls of the Company.

Restatement to prior period financial results, trading statement, project update and renewal of cautionary PPC Ltd (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Company registration number 1892/000667/06) JSE ISIN: ZAE000170049 JSE code: PPC ZSE code: PPC (“PPC” or “Company” or “the Group”) RESTATEMENT TO PRIOR PERIOD FINANCIAL RESULTS, TRADING STATEMENT, RESTRUCTURING AND REFINANCING PROJECT UPDATE AND RENEWAL OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT RESTATEMENT TO PRIOR PERIOD FINANCIAL RESULTS Shareholders of the Company (“Shareholders”) are referred to the announcements on the Stock Exchange News Services (“SENS”) issued on 18 August 2020 and 30 September 2020. The Company wishes to advise Shareholders that all the 31 March 2020 prior period restatements identified also resulted in restatements of the 30 September 2019 results. The combined impact of these adjustments on earnings and headline earnings per share for the six months ended 30 September 2019 is an increase of 34 and 28 cents per share respectively. Net asset value as at 30 September 2019 is increased by R301 million to R7.7 billion. An additional prior year error was identified relating to the 30 September 2019 results. At 30 September 2019 PPC adopted IAS 29 – Hyperinflation for the first time. During the 31 March 2020 year-end audit, a thorough review of the hyperinflation workings were undertaken and certain errors were identified and corrected in the 31 March 2020 results. This prompted management to review the 30 September 2019 workings and management noted similar errors were present. These errors related mainly to opening retained earnings and property, plant and equipment not being hyperinflated correctly. The impact of these adjustment on earnings and headline earnings per share for the six months ended 30 September 2019 is a decrease of 2 cents per share respectively. Net asset value as at 30 September 2019 is increased by R1.2 billion to R8.9 billion. TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020 PPC is finalising its consolidated financial results for the six months ended 30 September 2020 which will be announced on the SENS and the Company’s website on or about 8 December 2020. Shareholders are advised that consolidated Group revenue is expected to be 1% to 5% higher than the R4 948 million reported for the six months ended 30 September 2019 (“prior period”). EBITDA is expected to be 12 % to 17% higher than the R868 million reported for the prior period. Basic earnings per share (EPS) and headline earnings per share (HEPS) are expected to be between 18 and 21 cents per share, or 35% to 45%, lower than the 32 cents (restated) reported for the prior period. The decline in EPS and HEPS is primarily due to non-cash related items. After a difficult start to FY21 as a result of the COVID-19 related trade restrictions imposed by authorities in most of the jurisdictions in which the Group operates, the Group experienced a strong recovery in cement sales in Q2 of H1 FY 21 which contributed to the improved operating performance. The financial information contained in this announcement has neither been reviewed nor reported on by the Company´s external auditors. RESTRUCTURING AND REFINANCING UPDATE PPC continues to make good progress against key milestones in its restructuring and refinancing project (“Project”) with the objective of implementing a sustainable capital structure and improving the investment prospects of the Group. In South Africa, PPC has signed facilities agreements with its two primary South African lenders, who provide R1.85 billion of term loan and long term revolving credit facilities and R625 million of short term general banking facilities. The final terms of these agreements are substantially the same as those disclosed in note 36 to audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020. PPC is also finalising documentation relating to the provision of security, including a security pool arrangement comprising immovable property, debtors and inventory. PPC has also signed revised terms with its third South African lender for a working capital facility of R175 million, which has now removed the requirement of being part of the security pool arrangement. In the DRC, PPC has signed a formal standstill agreement with the DRC Lenders. The final terms of the agreement are substantially the same as those of the term sheet agreed at the end of August 2020, as disclosed in note 36 to audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020. PPC is actively engaging with the DRC Lenders, who have now appointed financial and legal advisors, on a detailed restructuring plan. PPC is targeting agreeing the basis of the restructuring plan with the DRC Lenders before the end of this calendar year. Following a number of unsolicited approaches regarding PPC Lime, PPC has decided to accelerate the sale of PPC Lime and appointed financial advisors to manage a structured sales process of the business. PPC is targeting deal certainty by the end of Q1 2021. RENEWAL OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT Shareholders are advised to continue exercising caution when dealing in securities of PPC until the funding arrangements with its respective lenders are finalised and details of the proposed capital raise are published.

Operational update, restructuring and refinancing project update and renewal of cautionary announcement PPC Ltd (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Company registration number 1892/000667/06) JSE ISIN: ZAE000170049 JSE code: PPC ZSE code: PPC (“PPC” or “Company”) OPERATIONAL UPDATE, RESTRUCTURING AND REFINANCING PROJECT UPDATE AND RENEWAL OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT OPERATIONAL UPDATE – NOVEMBER 2020 As previously reported to shareholders of the Company (“Shareholders”) in the announcement released on the Stock Exchange News Services on 9 October 2020, PPC experienced muted sales in April and May 2020 due to the COVID-19 restrictions imposed across most of the jurisdictions in which the group operates. A strong recovery was experienced in PPC South Africa & Botswana from June, with double- digit year-on-year growth in cement sales volumes since June. In the three months July to September, cement sales volumes increased by 20% to 25% year-on-year and. This trend has continued in October 2020 with strong cement sales volumes experienced for the month, up 15% to 20% compared to the same period last year. These increased volumes are primarily retail led, as increases in disposable income due to reduced discretionary spending on other items due to reduced movement and an increase in income due to reduced interest rates and the various social relief grants continued. PPC has also started to experience the positive impact of increased infrastructure spending, which it hopes will carry the strong demand once retail sales volumes return to more normalised levels. The International operations were less affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. In aggregate, total cement volumes sold also showed double-digit growth in June 2020 to September 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. For the first 6 months of FY21, PPC Zimbabwe, and PPC Barnet (DRC) experienced approximately 5% to 10% volume growth each compared to the prior comparable period. In the period July to September 2020, sales volumes in PPC Zimbabwe and PPC Barnet increased by 35% to 40% and 20% to 25% respectively, compared to the same period in 2019. October 2020 has seen more moderate growth in cement volumes for PPC Zimbabwe at approximately 5% compared to October 2019, whilst PPC Barnet has continued to experience strong growth, with cement volumes up 25% to 30% compared to October 2019. In Rwanda, CIMERWA experienced approximately 5% to 10% volume growth from April 2020 to September 2020 compared to the same period last year, and in the months July to September 2020 sales volumes increased by 15% to 20% year-on-year. October 2020 cement volumes have continued to show good growth, of 25% to 30% compared to October 2019. As highlighted in the year-end results announcement, despite the continued positive sales momentum, the group remains cautious on the outlook for the rest of FY21 given the ongoing health crisis and its resultant impact on economic activity. PPC’s initiatives remain focused on cash preservation, improving cost competitiveness by lowering operational costs, positioning the business for recovery and improving internal controls and accountability. RESTRUCTURING AND REFINANCING UPDATE As previously communicated to Shareholders and set out in detail in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020, PPC is undertaking a restructuring and refinancing project (“Project”) with the objective of implementing a sustainable capital structure and improving the investment prospects of the group. PPC continues to make positive progress on the Project with finalisation of revised facilities documentation with its South African lenders expected this month and restructuring negotiations progressing constructively with its DRC lenders on the basis of the term sheet and de facto standstill agreed in September 2020. PPC is on track to test investor appetite regarding recapitalising the International operations before the end of this calendar year. PPC will provide a more comprehensive update to Shareholders when it reports its interim results, which is expected to be in early December 2020. RENEWAL OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT Shareholders are advised to continue exercising caution when dealing in securities of PPC until the funding arrangements with its respective lenders are finalised and details of the proposed capital raise are published.

Short Form Announcement – Summarised Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2020 PPC Limited (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Company registration number: 1892/000667/06) JSE ISIN: ZAE000170049 JSE code: PPC ZSE code: PPC (“PPC”, “Company” or “Group”) SHORT FORM ANNOUNCEMENT – SUMMARISED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2020 SALIENT FEATURES - Group revenue: R10 241 million (March 2019: R10 494 million, restated) - Group EBITDA: R1 604 million (March 2019: R1 946 million) - Loss per share: 124 cents (March 2019: earnings per share 16 cents, restated) - Headline earnings per share: 27 cents (March 2019: 20 cents, restated) - The Group did not declare a dividend for the current or previous year Roland van Wijnen, chief executive officer, said: “FY20 was characterised by difficult trading conditions, especially in South Africa. The global COVID-19 pandemic, which emerged during the last month of the financial year, further exacerbated an already difficult trading cycle. We acted swiftly to implement protocols to protect our employees, improve our competitiveness and preserve cash. While we have seen a decline in our financial performance, we also see that the actions we have taken to reposition PPC to deliver sustainable value for all our stakeholders are beginning to yield results. After the resumption of trading in FY21, the performance across all of our core businesses has been encouraging. The Group’s capital restructuring remains a key priority. Over the next nine months, we will take the strategic and operational actions needed to improve the Group’s financial position and performance. It is encouraging to see how PPC employees have come together to drive performance to sustain our purpose to empower people to experience a better quality of life.” GROUP PERFORMANCE Group revenue declined by 2% to R10 241 million (March 2019: R10 494 million, restated). Excluding Zimbabwe, revenue declined by 7% from R9 047 million (restated) to R8 380 million, mainly due to a decline in revenues from South Africa cement. Cost of sales reduced by 3% to R8 248 million (March 2019: R8 487 million, restated) compared with the previous year. Administration and other operating expenditure increased by 16% to R1 284 million (March 2019: R1 104 million, restated). This increase is primarily due to the impact of hyperinflation in Zimbabwe and an increase in fees paid to consultants. Fair value adjustments and foreign exchange movements resulted in a gain of R151 million (March 2019: R126 million loss), mostly as a result of the revaluation of foreign-denominated intercompany loan accounts. The Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) put option carrying value was reduced to zero, resulting in a remeasurement gain of R251 million for the year. The slower than anticipated ramp-up in the DRC resulted in no capital repayments having been made on the US dollar-denominated debt in the DRC, as well as more conservative cash flow forecasts, resulting in the option value being zero. A fair value gain on the Zimbabwe financial asset of R7 million (March 2019: R236 million) was realised after taking into account a 50% credit risk fair value adjustment of R161 million (March 2019: R37 million, restated), while a loss was recorded on the blocked funds of R258 million (March 2019: Rnil) which included an 85% credit risk fair value adjustment of R332 million. The application of International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies resulted in a net monetary gain amounting to R651 million (before tax). Impairments before tax amounted to R3 074 million (March 2019: R76 million, restated), of which R2 767 million relates to the impairment of property, plant and equipment, R205 million relates to the impairment of goodwill and R102 million to the impairment of intangible assets. The uncertainty around the potential effects of COVID-19 on PPC’s operating performance impacted the impairment assessments of cash-generating units, resulting in impairments of R1 946 million in South Africa cement and readymix, and R1 128 million in the DRC. Finance costs decreased by 4% to R652 million (March 2019: R676 million). South African finance costs decreased by 6% to R216 million (March 2019: R229 million) and international finance costs decreased by 2% to R436 million (March 2019: R447 million). Profit attributable to shareholders of PPC Ltd reduced to a loss of R1 872 million (March 2019: R235 million, restated) while headline earnings which exclude the impact of impairments and other capital items increased to R406 million (March 2019: R300 million, restated). Earnings per share reduced to a loss of 124 cents (March 2019: 16 cents, restated) and headline earnings per share increased to 27 cents per share (March 2019: 20 cents, restated). Cash available from operations decreased by R794 million, from R1 257 million to R463 million. The decrease in cash generated from operations is primarily due to the reduction in EBITDA from R1 946 million to R1 604 million, the stockpiling of strategic inventories, accumulation of critical spares, and the impact of hyperinflation in Zimbabwe on inventory balances. Trade receivables were negatively impacted by delays in payments from customers as businesses in the construction sector focused on cash preservation during the lockdown in the regions we operate. Trade payables were also affected by capex retention payments of US$2,8 million in the DRC, as well as payments made to suppliers in FY20 as part of negotiations to extend payment terms. Cash preservation is a major focus area in the coming financial year. Capital investments in property, plant and equipment decreased by 16% to R650 million (March 2019: R773 million). Gross debt increased from R5 002 million in March 2019 to R5 800 million at the end of March 2020. The currency impact on international debt was to increase the reported gross debt by R638 million. CEMENT SOUTH AFRICA AND BOTSWANA PPC is the leading supplier of cement in these markets with an extensive footprint and distribution network. With our three mega plants strategy, we focus on improving cost competitiveness by supplying products to customers from the three largest and most efficient plants in our portfolio. Realised average selling prices for South Africa increased by 8% to 10% as the business continued with its drive to increase cement prices to recover operational costs and improve returns. Cement volu mes declined by 15% to 20%, with the coastal regions experiencing a smaller decline. We estimate that the South African cement industry declined by 7% to 10% for the period, driven by muted demand. The construction sector which accounts for a substantial proportion of PPC Cement sales was weaker than the overall market. Retail demand, however, was supported by activity in the DIY market. Imports and blender activity further exacerbated the competitive environment, with cement imports increasing by 36% to 1,3 million tonnes from April 2019 to March 2020, compared with the previous year. In conjunction with The Concrete Institute (TCI), PPC and other industry players submitted an application to the International Trade Administration Commission (ITAC), highlighting the impact of imports on domestic cement production. PPC continues to engage with the relevant authorities to ensure that non- conforming cement is not sold to the public to reduce the risk of collapsing structures. Revenue in South Africa and Botswana declined by 11% to R4 843 million (March 2019: R5 431 million). The reduction in revenue, coupled with a reduced ability to absorb fixed costs from the decline in volumes, resulted in EBITDA contracting by 36% to R613 million (March 2019: R957 million) an d margins declining from 17,6% to 12,7%. MATERIALS BUSINESS Aggregates, ready-mix and ash Revenue decreased by 11% to R1 178 million (March 2019: R1 318 million), primarily as a result of reduced volumes in the aggregates division due to weak demand in the construction industry. EBITDA increased by 18% to R20 million (March 2019: R17 million) due to improved cost management. Lime The lime division’s revenue declined by 2% to R816 million (March 2019: R834 million) with volumes and pricing under pressure due to the decline in steel-related activity. EBITDA contracted by 11% to R110 million (March 2019: R123 million) due to lower volumes and higher input costs. INTERNATIONAL The international operations hold leading positions in their respective markets and, despite challenging trading conditions in some markets, the businesses are well positioned to deliver sustainable value for stakeholders over the medium term. Shorter term, our focus is to optimise the businesses to enhance competitiveness and improve the quality of the products offered to customers. Zimbabwe Trading conditions in Zimbabwe were characterised by weak demand, unstable power supply, and a shortage of foreign currency. PPC Zimbabwe continues to supply quality products to its customers while remaining financially self- sufficient. PPC Zimbabwe also secured supply contracts for a substantial proportion of the large infrastructure projects in Zimbabwe, in hard currency, which assisted in alleviating some of the volume declines in the other segments of the market. The cost base was also restructured to match demand. Cement volumes declined by 15% to 20% in a market that contracted by a similar percentage. Cement pricing was adjusted to account for the increase in inflation and the devaluation of the local currency. Revenue increased by 29% to R1 861 million (March 2019: R1 447 million) and EBITDA grew by 53% to R707 million (March 2019: R461 million). EBITDA margins improved to 38,0%, versus 31,9% in March 2019 aided by higher selling prices and lower cost. PPC Zimbabwe continues to meet its debt obligations. Rwanda In Rwanda, CIMERWA benefited from robust cement demand, driven by large infrastructure projects, growth in the retail market and export demand in the eastern DRC. CIMERWA achieved revenue growth of 6% to R936 million (March 2019: R885 million) due to increases in pricing and volumes. EBITDA declined by 8% to R226 million (March 2019: R246 million) because of higher operational costs incurred to improve the output of the plant and the lockdown imposed by the authorities. The plant is expected to reach nominal capacity in the next 18 months. DRC PPC Barnet in the DRC achieved revenue growth of 5% to R607 million (March 2019: R579 million, restated), driven by higher pricing and translation gains. PPC estimates that market demand increased by 4% to 8%; however, this was offset by an increase in imports from neighbouring countries. Cement producers in the DRC continue to lobby the authorities to increase the enforcement of existing laws banning the importation of cement into the DRC. The business generated EBITDA of R94 million (March 2019: R108 million. EBITDA in FY20 includes management fees not previously charged, as well as a once-off write-off of development costs. Excluding these items, EBITDA improved on last year. The business is in the process of restructuring its debt. OUTLOOK PPC´s cement operations ramped up in May 2020 post the COVID-19 restrictions imposed at the end of March 2020 across most of the jurisdictions in which the Group operates. Over the first six months of FY21 (April – Sept) South Africa & Botswana cement sales volumes declined by 5% to 10% year-on-year due to the impact of the lockdown. Following a strong recovery, Cement South Africa & Botswana experienced double-digit year-on-year growth in sales volumes since June. In the last three months (July – Sept) Cement South Africa & Botswana cement sales volumes increased by 20% to 25% year-on-year. The International operations were less affected by the COVID -19 pandemic. In aggregate, total cement volumes sold also showed strong growth in June 2020 to September 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. For the first 6 months of FY21, PPC Zimbabwe and PPC Barnet (DRC) experienced 5% to 10% volume growth each compared to the prior comparable period. In the last three months (July – September) sales volumes in PPC Zimbabwe and PPC Barnet (DRC) increased by 35% to 40% and 20% to 25% respectively, compared to the period July to September in 2019. In Rwanda, CIMERWA experienced approximately 5% to 10% sales volume growth from April 2020 to September 2020 compared to the same period last year. In the last three months (July to September 2020), sales volumes increased by 15% to 20% year-on-year. Despite the positive sales momentum, the Group remains cautious on the outlook for the rest of FY21 given the ongoing health crisis and its resultant impact on economic activity. PPC will remain focused on ca sh preservation, improving cost competitiveness by lowering operational costs, and positioning the business for recovery. Whilst remaining cautious regarding prospects, PPC remains hopeful that the commitment of the South African government to an infrastructure investment led economic recovery will lead to increased cement consumption. If this is the case, PPC, with its national production and logistical footprint, is very well placed to benefit from such an increase. To strengthen the Group’s balance sheet and improve the investment prospects of PPC, the Group has embarked on a detailed refinancing and restructuring project, which will ensure that the Group is sustainably capitalised and self-sufficient on a standalone basis across the regions whe re it operates. This will be implemented over the course of FY21. Refer to note 36 of the audited consolidated financial statements.

Short Form Announcement – Summarised Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2020 PPC Limited (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Company registration number: 1892/000667/06) JSE ISIN: ZAE000170049 JSE code: PPC ZSE code: PPC (“PPC”, “Company” or “Group”) SHORT FORM ANNOUNCEMENT – SUMMARISED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2020 SALIENT FEATURES - Group revenue: R10 241 million (March 2019: R10 494 million, restated) - Group EBITDA: R1 604 million (March 2019: R1 946 million) - Loss per share: 124 cents (March 2019: earnings per share 16 cents, restated) - Headline earnings per share: 27 cents (March 2019: 20 cents, restated) - The Group did not declare a dividend for the current or previous year Roland van Wijnen, chief executive officer, said: “FY20 was characterised by difficult trading conditions, especially in South Africa. The global COVID-19 pandemic, which emerged during the last month of the financial year, further exacerbated an already difficult trading cycle. We acted swiftly to implement protocols to protect our employees, improve our competitiveness and preserve cash. While we have seen a decline in our financial performance, we also see that the actions we have taken to reposition PPC to deliver sustainable value for all our stakeholders are beginning to yield results. After the resumption of trading in FY21, the performance across all of our core businesses has been encouraging. The Group’s capital restructuring remains a key priority. Over the next nine months, we will take the strategic and operational actions needed to improve the Group’s financial position and performance. It is encouraging to see how PPC employees have come together to drive performance to sustain our purpose to empower people to experience a better quality of life.” GROUP PERFORMANCE Group revenue declined by 2% to R10 241 million (March 2019: R10 494 million, restated). Excluding Zimbabwe, revenue declined by 7% from R9 047 million (restated) to R8 380 million, mainly due to a decline in revenues from South Africa cement. Cost of sales reduced by 3% to R8 248 million (March 2019: R8 487 million, restated) compared with the previous year. Administration and other operating expenditure increased by 16% to R1 284 million (March 2019: R1 104 million, restated). This increase is primarily due to the impact of hyperinflation in Zimbabwe and an increase in fees paid to consultants. Fair value adjustments and foreign exchange movements resulted in a gain of R151 million (March 2019: R126 million loss), mostly as a result of the revaluation of foreign-denominated intercompany loan accounts. The Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) put option carrying value was reduced to zero, resulting in a remeasurement gain of R251 million for the year. The slower than anticipated ramp-up in the DRC resulted in no capital repayments having been made on the US dollar-denominated debt in the DRC, as well as more conservative cash flow forecasts, resulting in the option value being zero. A fair value gain on the Zimbabwe financial asset of R7 million (March 2019: R236 million) was realised after taking into account a 50% credit risk fair value adjustment of R161 million (March 2019: R37 million, restated), while a loss was recorded on the blocked funds of R258 million (March 2019: Rnil) which included an 85% credit risk fair value adjustment of R332 million. The application of International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies resulted in a net monetary gain amounting to R651 million (before tax). Impairments before tax amounted to R3 074 million (March 2019: R76 million, restated), of which R2 767 million relates to the impairment of property, plant and equipment, R205 million relates to the impairment of goodwill and R102 million to the impairment of intangible assets. The uncertainty around the potential effects of COVID-19 on PPC’s operating performance impacted the impairment assessments of cash-generating units, resulting in impairments of R1 946 million in South Africa cement and readymix, and R1 128 million in the DRC. Finance costs decreased by 4% to R652 million (March 2019: R676 million). South African finance costs decreased by 6% to R216 million (March 2019: R229 million) and international finance costs decreased by 2% to R436 million (March 2019: R447 million). Profit attributable to shareholders of PPC Ltd reduced to a loss of R1 872 million (March 2019: R235 million, restated) while headline earnings which exclude the impact of impairments and other capital items increased to R406 million (March 2019: R300 million, restated). Earnings per share reduced to a loss of 124 cents (March 2019: 16 cents, restated) and headline earnings per share increased to 27 cents per share (March 2019: 20 cents, restated). Cash available from operations decreased by R794 million, from R1 257 million to R463 million. The decrease in cash generated from operations is primarily due to the reduction in EBITDA from R1 946 million to R1 604 million, the stockpiling of strategic inventories, accumulation of critical spares, and the impact of hyperinflation in Zimbabwe on inventory balances. Trade receivables were negatively impacted by delays in payments from customers as businesses in the construction sector focused on cash preservation during the lockdown in the regions we operate. Trade payables were also affected by capex retention payments of US$2,8 million in the DRC, as well as payments made to suppliers in FY20 as part of negotiations to extend payment terms. Cash preservation is a major focus area in the coming financial year. Capital investments in property, plant and equipment decreased by 16% to R650 million (March 2019: R773 million). Gross debt increased from R5 002 million in March 2019 to R5 800 million at the end of March 2020. The currency impact on international debt was to increase the reported gross debt by R638 million. CEMENT SOUTH AFRICA AND BOTSWANA PPC is the leading supplier of cement in these markets with an extensive footprint and distribution network. With our three mega plants strategy, we focus on improving cost competitiveness by supplying products to customers from the three largest and most efficient plants in our portfolio. Realised average selling prices for South Africa increased by 8% to 10% as the business continued with its drive to increase cement prices to recover operational costs and improve returns. Cement volu mes declined by 15% to 20%, with the coastal regions experiencing a smaller decline. We estimate that the South African cement industry declined by 7% to 10% for the period, driven by muted demand. The construction sector which accounts for a substantial proportion of PPC Cement sales was weaker than the overall market. Retail demand, however, was supported by activity in the DIY market. Imports and blender activity further exacerbated the competitive environment, with cement imports increasing by 36% to 1,3 million tonnes from April 2019 to March 2020, compared with the previous year. In conjunction with The Concrete Institute (TCI), PPC and other industry players submitted an application to the International Trade Administration Commission (ITAC), highlighting the impact of imports on domestic cement production. PPC continues to engage with the relevant authorities to ensure that non- conforming cement is not sold to the public to reduce the risk of collapsing structures. Revenue in South Africa and Botswana declined by 11% to R4 843 million (March 2019: R5 431 million). The reduction in revenue, coupled with a reduced ability to absorb fixed costs from the decline in volumes, resulted in EBITDA contracting by 36% to R613 million (March 2019: R957 million) an d margins declining from 17,6% to 12,7%. MATERIALS BUSINESS Aggregates, ready-mix and ash Revenue decreased by 11% to R1 178 million (March 2019: R1 318 million), primarily as a result of reduced volumes in the aggregates division due to weak demand in the construction industry. EBITDA increased by 18% to R20 million (March 2019: R17 million) due to improved cost management. Lime The lime division’s revenue declined by 2% to R816 million (March 2019: R834 million) with volumes and pricing under pressure due to the decline in steel-related activity. EBITDA contracted by 11% to R110 million (March 2019: R123 million) due to lower volumes and higher input costs. INTERNATIONAL The international operations hold leading positions in their respective markets and, despite challenging trading conditions in some markets, the businesses are well positioned to deliver sustainable value for stakeholders over the medium term. Shorter term, our focus is to optimise the businesses to enhance competitiveness and improve the quality of the products offered to customers. Zimbabwe Trading conditions in Zimbabwe were characterised by weak demand, unstable power supply, and a shortage of foreign currency. PPC Zimbabwe continues to supply quality products to its customers while remaining financially self- sufficient. PPC Zimbabwe also secured supply contracts for a substantial proportion of the large infrastructure projects in Zimbabwe, in hard currency, which assisted in alleviating some of the volume declines in the other segments of the market. The cost base was also restructured to match demand. Cement volumes declined by 15% to 20% in a market that contracted by a similar percentage. Cement pricing was adjusted to account for the increase in inflation and the devaluation of the local currency. Revenue increased by 29% to R1 861 million (March 2019: R1 447 million) and EBITDA grew by 53% to R707 million (March 2019: R461 million). EBITDA margins improved to 38,0%, versus 31,9% in March 2019 aided by higher selling prices and lower cost. PPC Zimbabwe continues to meet its debt obligations. Rwanda In Rwanda, CIMERWA benefited from robust cement demand, driven by large infrastructure projects, growth in the retail market and export demand in the eastern DRC. CIMERWA achieved revenue growth of 6% to R936 million (March 2019: R885 million) due to increases in pricing and volumes.

Restatement to Prior Period Results, Trading Statement, Delay in Reporting of FY20 Results & Renewal of Cautionary PPC Ltd (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Company registration number 1892/000667/06) JSE ISIN: ZAE000170049 JSE code: PPC ZSE code: PPC ("PPC" or "Company") PPC LTD – FURTHER RESTATEMENT TO PRIOR PERIOD FINANCIAL RESULTS, UPDATED TRADING STATEMENT, DELAY IN REPORTING OF 31 MARCH 2020 FINANCIAL RESULTS, OPERATIONAL UPDATE, RESTRUCTURING AND REFINANCING PROJECT UPDATE AND RENEWAL OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT FURTHER RESTATEMENTS TO PRIOR PERIOD FINANCIAL RESULTS Shareholders of the Company (“Shareholders”) are referred to the announcement on the Stock Exchange News Services (“SENS”) issued on 18 August 2020. The Company wishes to advise Shareholders that during the audit process for the year ended 31 March 2020, and subsequent to 18 August 2020, additional prior year errors were identified and corrected. These corrections and financial impacts are detailed below. EQUITY-ACCOUNTED INVESTMENT IN HABESHA - ETHIOPIA PPC previously advised Shareholders that the equity accounted investment in Habesha of R146 million should have been fully impaired in the prior year. PPC has subsequently discovered that Habesha restated their FY19 financial statements due to the first-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) in Ethiopia, highlighting the fact that PPC should have adjusted its share of losses in previous years to comply with IFRS, which it did not do. The result of correcting the error by accounting for the IFRS losses reduced the carrying value of the associate at 31 March 2018 by R126 million and by a further R20 million at 31 March 2019. Therefore, no impairment is required in the current financial year as the additional losses decreased the carrying value to zero by 31 March 2019. DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO PUT OPTION As part of the project financing arrangements for the development of PPC’s Democratic Republic of Congo (“DRC”) operations, PPC entered into a put option agreement with an international development finance institution in terms of which the latter can put its investment, or part thereof, in PPC Barnet DRC Holdings, to PPC. The exercise price is determined by way of a formula stipulated in the agreement. In previous years, PPC applied the formula incorrectly in determining the carrying value of the put option. Correcting this error resulted in a reduction in the carrying value of the put option from R245 million (as previously stated) to R176 million as at 31 March 2018 and from R274 million (as previously stated) to R251 million as at 31 March 2019. Consequently, the loss on revaluation of the put option in 2019 increased by R46 million. NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS In finalising the Group annual financial statements, further prior year errors relating to non-controlling (“NCI”) interests have come to light that require additional investigation and conclusion. Whilst any required adjustments are not expected to impact the financial loss for the period ended 31 March 2020, these adjustments are important in ensuring the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group at the respective balance sheet dates. The adjustments required are expected to be a reclassification between NCI and Retained Earnings and further details will be disclosed together with the release of the audited financial statements. UPDATED TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2020 Further to the announcement on 18 August 2020, providing guidance on the financial results for the period ended 31 March 2020, the Company would like to update its Shareholders as outlined below. Group revenue for the year ended 31 March 2020 is confirmed to have decreased by less than 5% compared to the prior year (March 2019: R10.409 billion). Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (“EBITDA”), is confirmed to have decreased by approximately 16% compared to the prior year (March 2019: R1.946 billion). Before taking into account any adjustment resulting from the NCI re-allocation to retained earnings referred to above, basic earnings per share is expected to reflect a loss per share of between 120 and 130 cents per share, and headline earnings per share is still expected to be between 25 cents and 30 cents per share. Total Group assets and total Group borrowings were R17.093 billion and R5.8 billion at 31 March 2020 respectively. Total Group equity is expected to be approximately R7.793 billion. DELAY IN REPORTING OF 31 MARCH 2020 ANNUAL FINANCIAL RESULTS PPC announced on 18 August 2020 that it expected to release its year ended 31 March 2020 financial results by no later than 30 September 2020. As a result of the required restatements and the finalisation of the year-end audit, PPC now expects to release its financial results for the year ended 31 March 2020 in the week of 5 October 2020. PPC has received dispensation from the JSE in terms of this extended reporting date given the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the business, the complexities of finalising the year-end audit as well as the impact of the restructuring and refinancing project underway. OPERATIONAL UPDATE AUGUST 2020 – SEPTEMBER 2020 As reported to Shareholders in the Company’s 30 April 2020, 23 July 2020, and 18 August 2020 operational updates, PPC’s cement operations ramped up in May 2020 post the Covid-19 restrictions imposed at the end of March 2020 across most of the jurisdictions in which the Group operates. Double-digit year-on-year growth of cement volumes in South Africa were experienced in June and July and have continued at a high rate in August and September. For these two months combined, PPC expects volume growth of more than 25% when compared to the prior year. The resumption of construction activities and the temporary effect of high activity in construction projects to catch up on the delivery of these projects have had a positive impact on the performance. Given the inherent uncertainty of the current South African economic environment, the Company is cautious on the sustainability of strong cement volumes experienced and continues with the implementation of measures to reduce costs and increase cash generation from its operations. As at the date of this announcement, total borrowings in the South African operations have decreased by over R200 million as a result of the increased cash generation and these initiatives. In the international subsidiaries, the businesses have been less affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. In aggregate, total cement volumes sold also showed double- digit growth comparing July 2020 with July 2019. Strong sales volumes have continued in August and September 2020, with PPC Barnet (DRC) and PPC Zimbabwe experiencing approximately 25% sales volume growth respectively compared to the prior comparable period. In Rwanda, CIMERWA expects August and September cement volumes sold to increase by approximately 10% compared to the same period last year. All markets of these international subsidiaries of PPC benefit from a good performance of the cement plants and healthy construction activities. The increased sales volumes and the effect of the cost reduction and cash preservation measures have resulted in cash flows for the last few months showing a positive trajectory. The financial information contained in this announcement has neither been reviewed nor reported on by the Company’s external auditors. RESTRUCTURING AND REFINANCING UPDATE As outlined in the announcements on 13 August 2020, 18 August 2020, and 15 September 2020, PPC is undertaking a restructuring and refinancing project with the objective of implementing a sustainable capital structure. PPC continues to make positive progress on the project with finalisation of revised facilities documentation with its South African lenders expected in October 2020 and standstill documentation with its DRC lenders in November 2020. RENEWAL OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT Shareholders are advised to continue exercising caution when dealing in securities of PPC until the release of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020 and full details of the funding arrangements with the lenders and the capital raise are published.

PPC has concluded an overarching termsheet with its two primary South African lenders (“SA Primary Banks”) that provides for: - All short term banking facilities that were in place at financial year end will remain in place under similar terms until at least September 2021 - All long term facilities that were in place at financial year end will remain in place, with the extension of tenor of one of the facilities for an additional six months - A deferral of scheduled interest and capital repayments on long term facilities until March 2021 - The security position will be enhanced through a security pool arrangement - A waiver and condonement of covenant breaches under existing facilities and ongoing compliance with amended covenants including EBITDA and liquidity headroom - A commitment to reduce the levels of gearing in South Africa through a combination of a capital raise and asset sales; any capital raise is conditional on the implementation of the other Project steps, as previously communicated to shareholders Following credit approval by the SA Primary Banks, the Group has commenced the process of formalising the term sheet and security arrangements. PPC has also signed a new working capital facility with its third South African lender under similar terms and conditions to the above, providing access to ongoing liquidity until December 2021. Agreement with PPC Barnet lenders PPC Barnet has negotiated a termsheet with its lenders in the DRC (“PPC Barnet Lenders”) providing for a standstill to allow for the implementation of a long term restructuring plan. The term sheet provides for: - Initial standstill period to 31 December 2020, with possibility of extension to 31 March 2021 subject to certain extension milestones being met related to the long term restructuring plan - Forbearance of unpaid principal amortisation to date and scheduled principal amortisation until the end of the standstill period - Forbearance of unpaid interest to date and scheduled interest until the end of the standstill period 1 - Negative covenants customary of an arrangement of this nature, including restrictions of incural of additional debt outside of the existing Group facilities, dividend restrictions, capital expenditure remaining in line with current budgets and certain financial conduct undertakings with respect to other Group companies Subject to final credit approval of the PPC Barnet Lenders, the Group will commence the process of formalising the term sheet and expects it to be completed in due course. Key subsequent steps in the restructuring and refinance project The conclusion of the abovementioned agreements are two important milestones towards achieving the Project’s overall objectives. It enables PPC to progress to the next phase of the Project, being the implementation of a long term restructuring plan for PPC Barnet and relieving PPC of its contingent obligations. The restructuring plan includes raising capital in PPC International to enable a sustainable capital structure, to fund certain capital investments in the international businesses and support the restructuring claims of PPC Barnet lenders. As a final step, and in line with the commitment given to the SA lenders, consideration will be given to PPC raising capital from its shareholders by way of a rights issue in order to strengthen the balance sheet and enable the broader restructuring. A capital raise at the Group level is conditional on PPC reaching a satisfactory outcome on the above Project steps with the timing, quantum and terms thereof only to be determined once these steps have been achieved. The project is still targeted for completion by 31 March 2021, although no assurance can be given that the various corporate actions will be completed by such date. Shareholders will be updated on progress of the Project, with further details to be published together with the Company’s FY20 results announcement which is expect to be later this month. RENEWAL OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT Shareholders are advised to continue exercising caution when dealing in securities of PPC until the full details of the funding arrangements with the lenders and the capital raise are published.

Restatement of Prior Year Results, Trading Statement, Delayed FY20 Financial Results and Operational Update PPC Ltd (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Company registration number 1892/000667/06) JSE ISIN: ZAE000170049 JSE code: PPC ZSE code: PPC ("PPC" or "Company") RESTATEMENT OF PRIOR YEAR RESULTS, TRADING STATEMENT, DELAY IN REPORTING OF 31 MARCH 2020 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND OPERATIONAL UPDATE RESTATEMENTS TO PRIOR PERIOD FINANCIAL RESULTS Shareholders of the Company (“Shareholders”) are referred to the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2019 (“Prior year”), announced on Stock Exchange News Service (“SENS”) on 26 July 2019. The Company wishes to advise shareholders that during the audit process for the year ended 31 March 2020, prior year errors were identified and corrected. The corrections and financial impact are detailed below. 1) Equity-accounted investment in Habesha Habesha Cement Share Company (“Habesha”) is an Ethiopian equity accounted investment held by PPC (refer note 20 of the prior year annual financial statements). In the prior year PPC concluded that no impairment of the investment was required. The Board is however of the opinion that the investment of R146 million should have been fully impaired in the prior year. It follows that the impairment of R93 million and the equity accounted losses of R54 million in the interim results dated 30 September 2019 will also be reversed following full impairment of the investment as at 31 March 2019. 2) Zimbabwe financial asset fair value The PPC Zimbabwe financial asset arose when its US$ denominated Zimbabwe loan was registered with the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (“RBZ”) (refer note 8 of prior year annual financial statements). The loan qualifies as legacy debt and a Zimbabwe dollar (“ZWL”) amount equivalent to the US$ loan balance was transferred to the RBZ, which amount qualifies for the 1:1 conversion of US$ to ZWL. The financial asset represents the difference between the prevailing ZWL:US$ exchange rate as at 31 March 2020 and the 1:1 rate approved by the Zimbabwe authorities for the settlement of the US$ Zimbabwe loan. No adjustment was applied for credit risk as at 31 March 2019. Considering the fact that PPC did raise an expected credit loss adjustment on the Zimbabwe government bonds as at that date, the Board believes it would also have been appropriate to apply the same percentage fair value credit risk adjustment against the Zimbabwe financial asset as at that date. As a result, the prior year results will be restated to take into account a pre-tax fair value adjustment of R36.7 million. It follows that the pre-tax income statement impact of the fair value adjustment in the interim results dated 30 September 2019 will be reduced from R76 million to R39.3 million. 3) Foreign currency translation reserve and exchange differences At 31 March 2019, PPC Ltd recognised exchange gains of R116 million that arose from translation of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) deficiency loan in the statement of profit or loss in its separate financial statements. In the Group consolidated annual financial statements, the exchange differences were accounted for in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve, as the Group considered the exchange differences to have arisen from the net investment in the foreign operation. The Board believes it was not appropriate to consider the loan as part of the net investment in the foreign operation and accordingly the pre-tax exchange gain of R116 million should have been recorded in the statement of profit or loss in the PPC consolidated financial statements in the prior year. As a result the prior year results will be restated to reflect the exchange gain. This adjustment has no impact on the 30 September 2019 interim results. 4) Other individually immaterial errors Several smaller individually immaterial errors have been noted relating to reallocation of intangible assets, reallocation between reserves and reclassification of investments as treasury shares. Cumulatively these errors have no impact on earnings. The cumulative after-tax impact of all the above-mentioned prior year restatements is a decrease in basic earnings per share from the previously stated 16 cents per share to 9 cents per share, and an increase headline earnings per share from the previously stated 20 cents per share to 23 cents per share. Net asset value is decreased by R174 million from R9.3 billion in the prior year. Management has initiated, and will continue to implement, improvements to the internal control environment and related governance processes to ensure integrity of the information published. TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2020 Further to the announcement on the 23 June 2020, indicating that financial results for the period ended 31 March 2020 will differ by more than 20% from those of the previous corresponding period 31 March 2019, the Company would like to update its Shareholders as outlined below. Group revenue for the year ended 31 March 2020 is expected to decrease by less than 5% compared to the prior year (March 2019: R10.409 billion). Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (“EBITDA”), is expected to decrease by a range of 15% to 20% compared to prior year (March 2019: R1.946 billion). Basic earnings per share is expected to reflect a loss per share of between 110 and 130 cents per share (reflecting a difference of more than 100%), compared with the restated 9 cents per share achieved for the prior comparable period ended 31 March 2019. Headline earnings per share is expected to be between 25 cents and 30 cents per share (reflecting a difference of between 8.7% and 30.4%) compared with the restated 23 cents per share achieved for the prior comparable period ended 31 March 2019. The difference between the basic earnings per share and headline earnings per share relates to the impairment of property, plant and equipment in South Africa Cement, PPC Barnet DRC and Readymix, as well as impairment of certain intangible assets and goodwill. These impairment considerations were affected by the economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The financial consequences of the closure of the Group's plants during lockdown periods of varying lengths depending on the jurisdiction, and the uncertain economic outlook and recovery periods resulting from the economic impact of Covid-19 have been factored into the cash flow forecasts utilised in impairment assessment of the cash generating units of the Group. Included in headline earnings per share is a net monetary gain of between R625 million and R675 million relating to the hyperinflation accounting in Zimbabwe. DELAY IN REPORTING OF 31 MARCH 2020 FINANCIAL RESULTS PPC announced on 23 July 2020 that the Company’s financial results for the year ended 31 March 2020 would be published on or about 31 August 2020. The Company took advantage of the dispensation granted by the JSE to delay the publication of its results by two months and at the time expected to be able to meet that publication date. The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the year-end and audit process has however been more severe than initially anticipated. This was due to various levels and extensions of lockdowns in the countries in which the Group trades, challenges and delays caused by working remotely during this period and additional analyses required due to the financial impact of Covid-19 on accounting judgements and estimates. In addition, and as communicated to the shareholders of PPC in the announcement on 13 August 2020 on SENS, the Company is undertaking a restructuring and refinance project with the objective of implementing a sustainable capital structure. PPC expects to reach certain key milestones on this project in the coming weeks, which will have an impact on the finalisation of the Company’s financial results. Given these matters outlined above, PPC is unable to publish audited results by 31 August 2020. PPC, therefore, expects to announce the year ended 31 March 2020 financial results by no later than 30 September 2020. PPC is conscious of its reporting obligations to regulators and shareholders and is doing everything within its control to fulfil its obligations. OPERATIONAL UPDATE APRIL 2020 – JULY 2020 As reported to investors in the company’s 30 April 2020 and 23 July 2020 operational updates, PPC’s cement operations ramped up in May 2020 post the Covid-19 restrictions imposed at the end of March 2020 across most of the jurisdictions in which the Group operates. The double digit year-on-year growth of cement volumes in South Africa during June continued in July as cement sales volumes in South Africa once again showed double digit growth compared to July 2019. This was achieved on the back of the strong reduction of imports. Also, the resumption of construction activities and the temporary effect of high activity in construction projects to catch up on the delivery of these projects have had a positive impact. As some of these positives might be temporary and given the economic outlook, PPC continues with the implementation of measures to reduce costs and increase cash generation from its operations. The total cement volumes sold by the international subsidiaries also showed double digit growth comparing July 2020 with July 2019. The demand is especially strong in Zimbabwe and Rwanda and the growth of sales volumes during July has been positive in the DRC as well. The increased sales volumes and the effect of the cost reduction and cash preservation measures have resulted in cash flows for the last months showing a positive trajectory. The financial information contained in this announcement has neither been reviewed nor reported on by the Company’s external auditors.

Restructuring and Refinancing update and Cautionary Announcement PPC Ltd (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Company registration number 1892/000667/06) JSE ISIN: ZAE000170049 JSE code: PPC ZSE code: PPC ("PPC" or "Company" or "Group") RESTRUCTURING AND REFINANCING UPDATE AND CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT Restructuring and refinancing update Shareholders of PPC (Shareholders) are referred to the interim results released on the Stock Exchange News Service (SENS) in November 2019 and various subsequent market updates, including the Trading and Operational Update released on 23 July 2020 advising that PPC is reviewing the capital structure of the Group and has embarked on a project to refinance and restructure the Group (Project) with the objective of implementing a sustainable capital structure. In this regard, the Board of PPC notes the recent media speculation concerning the restructuring and refinancing of the Group and sets out below a clarification on the objective and current status of the Project. Background to the restructuring and refinancing The need to restructure and refinance is primarily a result of the investment in PPC Barnet in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the role assumed by PPC Ltd in 2014 as a project sponsor and contingent claims against PPC Ltd to provide ongoing deficiency funding to PPC Barnet. The need to refinance has been exacerbated by the economic effects of the Covid 19 pandemic. Key steps in the restructuring and refinancing project The restructuring and refinancing seeks to achieve the following objectives: - Reach agreement with its South African lenders to provide ongoing access to unutilised facilities, reset of covenants, defer payments and extend renewal dates of the general banking facilities to provide greater financial flexibility in the context of the uncertainties of the current trading environment as a result of the Covid 19 pandemic. - Reach an arrangement with PPC Barnet’s lenders on its capital and interest obligations as a precursor to agreeing a sustainable capital structure for PPC Barnet and relieve PPC Ltd of its contingent obligations. - Raise capital in PPC International to enable a sustainable capital structure, to fund certain capital investments in the international businesses and support the restructuring claims of PPC Barnet lenders. Whilst this will likely result in a dilution of PPC Ltd’s interest in PPC International, it is envisaged that PPC International will remain a subsidiary company of the Group. - Any capital raise will be conditional on the Group reaching a satisfactory outcome on the above. Consideration will be given to a capital raise by way of a PPC rights issue in order to strengthen the balance sheet and enable the broader restructuring, although the timing, quantum and the terms thereof will only be determined once the other steps have been achieved. Project implementation The Board is of the view that on implementation of the Project, the operations of the Group will be sustainably capitalised and self-sufficient on a standalone basis across the key geographies in which it operates, and well positioned to pursue their respective growth and shareholder value creation strategies. 1 The Board has mobilised significant internal and external resource to implement the Project, including the appointment of Antony Ball as executive director to lead the Project and the appointment of inter alia, Gleacher Shacklock LLP as financial advisor to advise on achieving the aforementioned. The restructuring and refinancing is targeted for completion by 31 March 2021 although no assurance can be given that the various corporate actions will be completed by such date. In the meantime, discussions with the various lenders continue on a constructive basis. Shareholders will be updated on progress of the project, with further details to be published together with the Company’s FY20 results announcement. CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT Shareholders are advised to exercise caution in dealing in securities of PPC until such time as the full details of the funding arrangements with the lenders and the capital raise are published.

Trading Statement and Operational Update PPC Ltd (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Company registration number 1892/000667/06) JSE ISIN: ZAE000170049 JSE code: PPC ZSE code: PPC ("PPC" or "Company" or "Group") TRADING STATEMENT AND OPERATIONAL UPDATE TRADING STATEMENT In terms of the Listing Requirements of the JSE Limited (“JSE Listings Requirements”), companies are required to publish a Trading Statement as soon as they become reasonably certain that the financial results for the period to be reported will differ by more than 20% from those of the previous corresponding period. Basic earnings and headline earnings per share is expected to decrease by more than 20% compared with the 16 cents per share and the 20 cents per share achieved respectively for the prior comparable period ended 31 March 2019. These movements are after taking into account impairments of property, plant and equipment, expected credit losses and other fair value adjustments. The general economic environment and the Covid-19 pandemic will have a material impact on these adjustments, which are being finalised. PPC will provide further guidance once reasonable certainty has been established on the range, in compliance with the JSE Listings Requirements. As previously advised, PPC expects to publish its group’s financial results for the year- ended March 2020 on or about 31 August 2020. OPERATIONAL UPDATE MAY – JUNE 2020 PPC’s cement operations ramped up in May 2020 post the lifting of the COVID-19 restrictions imposed at the end of March 2020 across most of the jurisdictions in which the Group operates. As reported on 30 April 2020, sales volumes were significantly impacted in April 2020. In May 2020, South Africa cement sales volumes were still around 30 -35% below May 2019 as the operations gradually resumed. In PPC International the May cement sales volumes were less than 5% below the same period in 2019, mainly driven by strong sales volumes in Rwanda. The demand recovery has been strong in June 2020, as the cement sales volumes in South Africa grew by double digits compared to June 2019. This recovery is mostly driven by the absence of imports that has given an opportunity for local producers like PPC South Africa to grow. In line with earlier communication and action plans, PPC considers it crucial for the sustainability of the local cement industry that substandard cement and imports are properly addressed. Cement sales volumes in PPC International also show a year-on-year growth in the month of June 2020. On the back of the improved sales volumes and the various cost and cash preservation measures, the cash flows for the last two months have shown a positive trajectory. PPC continues to have the support of its lenders to navigate the impact of the health and economic crisis. The discussions with the lenders around the announced capital restructuring continue in a constructive climate. More information on this important project will be shared at the announcement of the FY20 annual results. The information in this trading statement has not been reviewed or reported on by the Company’s external auditors.

CFO Appointment and COVID-19 Update PPC Ltd (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Company registration number 1892/000667/06) JSE ISIN: ZAE000170049 JSE code: PPC ZSE code: PPC ("PPC" or "Company") CFO APPOINTMENT AND COVID 19 UPDATE CFO APPOINTMENT The Board and Executive Committee of PPC Ltd are pleased to announce the appointment of Ms Ronel van Dijk as permanent CFO. It provides the Company with continuity for all activities that Ronel has initiated since she started in her role as interim CFO on November 1, 2019. With the acceptance of the position as CFO, Ronel will also continue to serve as Executive Director of PPC Ltd. COVID-19 (CV19) UPDATE PPC is guided by the principles of reducing risks to the health of its employees and business partners, whilst ensuring business continuity in each of the countries that the Company operates in. PPC’s CV19 Taskforce was formed in February to prepare a coordinated set of measures including employee health and safety and cash preservation measures. During the lockdown in South Africa the Group executive committee has met daily with the Taskforce leader and the Group Chief Information Officer to ensure execution of these measures and adjustment to the situation as it develops. The Group’s businesses have generally been operationally constrained in their respective jurisdictions during April. PPC Barnet in the DRC has been able to operate and is expected to produce similar volumes compared to the same period last year. CIMERWA and PPC Zimbabwe have partially resumed operations in Rwanda and Zimbabwe in the second half of April. Cement sales volumes in these countries are expected to be around 15 to 20% of the volumes sold in April 2019. In South Africa, only PPC Lime sold small quantities to customers deemed by the authorities as essential providers. Overall sales volumes in South Africa for April are expected to be around 95% lower compared to April 2019 due to the stringent lock down measures imposed by the South African government. PPC South Africa is preparing to start production to operate in line with the risk based regulations and related CV19 Risk Levels announced by the South African government on the 25 April 2020. The uncertainty around the further development of the containment of the coronavirus makes it necessary for PPC to work with various scenarios. Together with the other members of the Industry Association a request has been made to the Government to support the local industry, expedite construction work and implement the announced measures around infrastructure development and giving priority to local manufacturing. PPC has implemented various cost reduction and cash preservation actions to protect liquidity through and post the lockdown period. The committed facilities show sufficient headroom in South Africa under various economic scenarios. The Company is also continuously engaging with international funders to ensure sufficient liquidity in its international operations. The refinancing and restructuring project announced in October 2019 is continuing and an update of this project will be given at the announcement of the company’s annual results. PPC will provide further guidance on the financial impact on the group at a later stage.

PPC Attending BofA Securities Investor Conference and Operational Update for the 11 months ended February 2020 PPC Ltd (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Company registration number 1892/000667/06) JSE ISIN: ZAE000170049 JSE code: PPC ZSE code: PPC ("PPC" or "Company" or "Group") PPC ATTENDING BofA SECURITIES INVESTOR CONFERENCE AND OPERATIONAL UPDATE FOR THE 11 MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 2020 BofA SECURITIES INVESTOR CONFERENCE PPC will be participating in the virtual BofA Securities Investor Conference on Wednesday 18 and Thursday 19 March 2020. In preparation for this event, PPC has prepared an operational update, which reflects information on PPC operations for the period April 2019 to February 2020 as outlined below. GROUP PERFORMANCE The trading performance in the Group’s Southern Africa businesses has started to show signs of stabilisation in terms of cement volumes whilst the business continues to realise year-on-year cement price increases. The International cement business has delivered a resilient performance for the period with continued year-on-year revenue growth in DRC and Rwanda whilst PPC Zimbabwe has seen an improvement in EBITDA margins and is fully self-funding. The Group has continued with stringent cost containment supported by a restructured Group head office. Group capex has reduced significantly when compared with the same period last year, and is expected to be at the lower end of the guided range of R600m to R800m given at the Group’s interim results. The reduction in capex is expected to counter the negative impact of reduced EBITDA. All business units are meeting their debt obligations other than the DRC operations, which has continued to pay only its interest obligations. In the DRC, PPC has successfully negotiated an extension to the capital moratorium which expired in January 2020. UPDATE ON THE CAPITAL STRUCTURE PPC indicated to investors in November 2019 that management was reviewing the capital structure of the Group. Subsequently, PPC has embarked on a project to refinance and restructure the Group. There are three parts to this, all of which are at various stages of development. 1) The first part of this project entails: a) The relaxation of covenants in respect of South African debt. This is partially complete and is expected to be finalised within the next three months, b) The extension of capital repayments with regard to the maturity profile in South Africa is in the early stages and progressing well. 2) The second part aims to achieve an extension of the capital holiday in the DRC, which would complete a process which commenced in July 2019. These negotiations have concluded, and the parties are finalising the related legal process. This will extend the capital moratorium in the DRC to January 2022. 3) The third part relates to the unsustainable debt levels in the DRC, and its requirement for deficiency funding from PPC Ltd. These negotiations have commenced and PPC is considering various options for the refinancing and restructuring project that may include a capital injection by interested third parties into the International cement business. PPC will update shareholders at its interim results in June 2020 in this regard. PPC does not envisage a capital raise at PPC Limited level for this purpose. SOUTHERN AFRICA CEMENT PPC realised average cement price increases in its Southern African business (including Botswana), of 8.0% to 10.0% for the period. SA cement sales volumes declined by 16% to 18% compared to the corresponding period in 2019 (“comparable period”). Increased importer and blender activity has impacted PPC’s domestic volumes and pricing. Total cement imports increased by 17% for January 2019 to December 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, amounting to approximately 1.2 million tonnes. The coastal business is experiencing a downturn in volumes impacted by imports, whilst inland volumes are showing signs of improvement. The Concrete Institute (“TCI”) on behalf of the domestic cement industry has completed its submission to the International Trade Administration Commission (“ITAC”) highlighting the impact of imports on domestic cement production. MATERIAL BUSINESS The material businesses consisting Lime, aggregates and readymix experienced a combined decline in revenue and EBITDA of 5% to 10%. The Lime business has been hampered by constrained steel demand, exacerbated by the Saldhana shutdown, whilst the aggregates and readymix businesses experienced muted demand due to their exposure to the domestic construction sector. The Lime and aggregates businesses benefitted from increased steel production in the Gauteng region and a diversification strategy to broaden the customer base. INTERNATIONAL CEMENT ZIMBABWE Despite the challenging trading conditions in Zimbabwe, including liquidity constraints and inflationary pressures, PPC Zimbabwe remains self-sufficient. Overall cement sales volumes have declined by 15 to 20% due to a weaker economic climate, offset by cement pricing which has been aligned to input cost inflation. PPC Zimbabwe achieved EBITDA margins of 35% to 38%. PPC Zimbabwe has continued to meet its debt obligations in country. RWANDA In Rwanda, Cimerwa continues to benefit from increased construction activity and high economic growth. The business achieved higher volumes, with EBITDA tracking in line with the prior period supported by stable pricing. Cimerwa in which PPC holds a 51% stake, has indicated to PPC its intention to list the business in this calendar year on the Rwandan Stock Exchange. PPC views this as a positive step by the company to diversify its shareholder base and unlock value for PPC shareholders. DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO (DRC) The EBITDA performance of the business is tracking higher compared to the same period last year, supported by stable sales volumes and pricing. PPC is currently engaging with its lenders to restructure the debt in the DRC and put in place a more sustainable capital structure, as addressed above CORONA VIRUS (COVID-19) In early March 2020, PPC formed a dedicated task team to deal with the Corona virus (COVID-19) outbreak and implemented the first protective measures. The company is following the guidelines from the World Health Organisation, South African government and other regulatory bodies in the countries where the Group has operations. Such guidelines related to items such as staff travel, protection of the premises, hygiene measures and social distancing. PPC continues to monitor the impact on the business both from an economic and social perspective and actively supports the containment of the risks for its employees and business partners contemplating various scenarios for future developments. PPC will keep investors updated as to any significant developments that are impacting the business. Currently, PPC is fully operational across all jurisdictions. OUTLOOK PPC management is focused on concluding the refinancing and restructuring in the International cement business. The Group will continue to focus on improving the performance of its core operations and positioning the Group for future growth as the leading organization in the South African cement industry. The information in this operational update has not been reviewed or reported on by the Company’s external auditors.

Excluding PPC Zimbabwe Group revenue declined 1% to R4 502 million and Group EBITDA decreased by 3% to R667 million. Roland Van Wijnen, CEO said: ”The positive operational results in Rwanda and the DRC have partially offset difficult and competitive market conditions in South Africa and Zimbabwe. PPC has continued its efforts to implement necessary price increases to lay the basis for a sustainable domestic cement industry in RSA. We remain focused on cost reductions and we have achieved cost savings of R65/tonne in South Africa as part of our R70 per tonne saving program announced in 2017. Whilst the profitability of the Group has declined, PPC continues to generate positive free cash flow. Our focus in Zimbabwe remains to deliver our customers premium products and solutions at stable or improved EBITDA margins, as well as to ensure financial self-sufficiency of the business against the backdrop of a challenging macro- economic environment. The PPC Zimbabwe team has delivered on both these strategic imperatives.” GROUP PERFORMANCE Group revenue declined by 12% to R4 948 million (Sept 2018: R5 597 million) attributable to a 17% decline in overall cement volumes to 2,6 million tonnes. Southern Africa cement and PPC Zimbabwe were the main contributors to the decline. Cost of sales reduced by 10% to R4 023 million (Sept 2018: R4 494 million) compared with the previous year. Overheads reduced by 4% to R555 million (Sept 2018: R580 million). Excluding once-off restructuring costs of R83 million incurred during the period, overheads reduced by 19%. PPC reported cost savings of R60/tonne at the end of March 2019, and achieved additional cost savings of R5/tonne for the period towards PPC’s saving target of R70/tonne. Group EBITDA declined by 17% to R868 million (Sept 2018: R1 039 million), resulting in an EBITDA margin of 17,5% (Sept 2018: 18,6%). Excluding the impact of the once-off restructuring costs EBITDA margin was 19,3%. The Group results are impacted by the significant currency devaluation between the ZWL and the South African Rand (“ZAR”) and the application of the provisions of IAS 29 that complicates comparability at a Group level. PPC Zimbabwe has applied hyperinflationary accounting from 1 April 2019 to 30 September 2019. The results, net assets and cash flows were then translated from ZWL into rand at a closing rate of 1 ZWL to 0.99 ZAR compared to 1 ZWL to 4.80 ZAR at March 2019, which had a material impact on the results. Excluding PPC Zimbabwe, Group revenue declined by 1% and cost of sales were maintained at R3 783 million. EBITDA declined by 3% to R668 million (Sept 2018: R687 million), with margins maintained at 15%. The application of IAS 29 resulted in a net monetary gain amounting to R543 million (before tax). Included in the fair value adjustment loss of R270 million is an estimated credit loss of R307 million relating to Zimbabwe financial assets, R76 million of which was raised against the PPC Zimbabwe financial asset arising as a result of the PPC Zimbabwe debt being settled by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe on a 1:1 basis as legacy debt. The remainder of the expected credit loss provision was raised against the PPC Limited blocked funds held by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe and cash deposited in a non-resident account with Stanbic in Zimbabwe. The balance of the fair value adjustment relates to the translation into Rands of foreign assets and liabilities. Finance costs decreased by 3% to R327 million (Sept 2018: R336 million). Southern Africa finance costs increased by 13% to R125 million (Sept 2018: R111 million) due to the application of IFRS 16 - Leases. International finance costs declined by 10% to R202 million (Sept 2018: R225 million). Taxation expense of R186 million (Sept 2018: R9 million credit), resulted in an effective tax rate of 114%. Excluding the impact of provisions, expected credit losses, hyperinflation, the impairment and other non-deductible expenses, the effective tax rate is 33%. The equity investment in the integrated cement plant in Ethiopia was fully impaired, resulting in an impairment loss of R93 million. Basic earnings per share was reduced to a 0,4 cents loss (Sept 2018: Earnings per share 21 cents) and headline earnings per share was 6 cents (Sept 2018: 21 cents). Cash available from operations decreased from R581 million to R223 million, mainly as a result of an increase in working capital absorption of R342 million, which is significantly higher than the comparative period at R110 million due to the manufacturing cycle in the DRC, cash preservation strategies in Zimbabwe, increasing inventory levels and accounts payable. Capital investments in property, plant and equipment decreased by 40% to R225 million (Sept 2018: R377 million). Gross debt increased marginally from R5 002 million in March 2019 to R5 131 million at the end of September 2019. The currency impact on the international debt is R193 million. On a constant currency basis the gross debt was approximately R4 938 million as at 30 September 2019. The Southern African debt remained constant at R1 700 million. CEMENT SOUTHERN AFRICA (INCLUDING BOTSWANA) Realised average selling prices for Southern Africa increased by 8% - 10%, as the business continued with its drive of increasing cement prices to recover operational costs and improve returns. PPC Southern Africa cement volumes declined by 15% - 20%, where declines were less significant in the coastal regions. PPC estimated the South African cement industry declined by between 10% - 15% for the period, with consumer and construction sector demand still under severe pressure. The competitive environment was exacerbated by imports and blender activity. Cement imports increased by 5% to 849,000 tonnes for calendar year August 2019. The Concrete Institute (“TCI”) on behalf of the domestic cement industry submitted an application to the International Trade Administration Commission (“ITAC”) highlighting the impact of imports on domestic cement production. The industry is continuously engaging with the relevant authorities to ensure that blended cement meets the requisite standards. Revenue for Cement Southern Africa declined by 8% to R2 555 million (Sept 2018: R2 772 million). This was a result of a 30% increase in fuel prices for the period under review. All other production costs were well controlled within the 5% - 7% range. The reduction in revenue coupled with an increase in costs resulted in EBITDA contracting by 24% to R367 million (Sept 2018: R481 million) and margins declining from 17,4% to 14,4%. MATERIALS BUSINESS Aggregates, ready-mix and ash Revenue decreased by 8% to R645 million (Sept 2018: R698 million), as a result of decreased volumes across all segments, as the market remained competitive due to a muted construction industry. EBITDA contracted to R35 million (Sept 2018: R40 million), due to higher fuel and maintenance costs. Lime The lime division grew revenue by 6% to R434 million (Sept 2018: R409 million), with higher prices in certain products compensating for volume declines of 5%. EBITDA contracted by 17% to R50 million (Sept 2018: R60 million), due to lower fixed cost absorptions, higher coal costs and refractory costs. INTERNATIONAL Zimbabwe Volumes declined by 30 - 35%, in-line with the decrease in the overall market, whilst cement pricing was adjusted on a weekly basis to contend with the rapid increase in inflation and the devaluation in currency. Revenue declined by 54% to R497 million (Sept 2018: R1 076 million) against the backdrop of a hyper- inflationary environment, severe weakening of the ZWL, regular power outages and a weaker cement market. EBITDA contracted by 43% to R201 million (Sept 2018: R352 million), with EBITDA margins showing a marked improvement to 40% versus 32% in September 2018. PPC Zimbabwe is financially self-sufficient and is preserving cash by investing in inventory and accelerating capital expenditure. Rwanda CIMERWA achieved revenue growth of 28% to R514 million (Sept 2018: R402 million) due to a 20% increase in volumes. EBITDA increased by 70% to R156 million (Sept 2018: R92 million), benefiting from increased volume output and an improved cost per tonne performance. DRC PPC Barnet DRC achieved revenue growth of 26% to R303 million in the period (Sept 2018: R240 million), driven by stable pricing and production output in an oversupplied market. The business generated EBITDA of R81 million (March 2018: R 60 million), with corresponding margins of 27%. EBITDA benefited from stringent cost control and entrenchment of route to market strategies. The business is in the process of restructuring its debt. OUTLOOK Overall, PPC will remain focused on optimising operational cash generation through price and cost management in order to reduce financial leverage and strengthen the balance sheet. In Southern Africa there are further opportunities to optimize the delivery network and related fixed and variable costs. However, the cement industry in South Africa needs to be protected from unfair competition in the form of imports and substandard products. Unfair competition contributes to an unsustainable pricing environment that threatens the financial viability of the local cement industry that is of strategic relevance to the country. In Zimbabwe, the business is self-sufficient and will continue to focus on delivering to the market at stable EBITDA margins whilst managing cash and implementing strategies to preserve the longer term value of the business. Despite the challenging trading conditions, the business remains well capitalised and is well positioned to benefit from local infrastructure projects and growth in the region. In Rwanda, CIMERWA is expected to benefit from the improved growth in output following the progress of the debottlenecking project and the strong economic climate. The DRC business will focus on maximising EBITDA and restructuring its debt to reduce reliance on the Group. PPC has initiated a comprehensive strategic review and certain initiatives necessary for sustainable value creation are underway. The outcomes of our strategic review will be communicated in due course.

Trading Statement PPC Ltd (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Company registration number: 1892/000667/06) JSE Code: PPC ISIN: ZAE000170049 JSE code: PPC003 JSE ISIN: ZAG000117524 ("PPC" or the "Company") TRADING STATEMENT In terms of the Listing Requirements of the JSE Limited, companies are required to publish a Trading Statement as soon as they become reasonably certain that the financial results for the period to be reported will differ by more than 20% from those of the previous corresponding period. PPC is finalising its interim results for the 6 months ended 30 September 2019 which will be released on or about 20 November 2019. Earnings before Interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (“EBITDA”), before Impairments, Expected Credit Loss adjustments and the Net monetary gain resulting from the application of hyper-inflation accounting on the PPC Zimbabwe business is expected to decrease by between 15% and 20% compared to R1.039 billion for the period ended 30 September 2018. The main drivers for the decline in EBITDA are: - The impact of Zimbabwe due to the hyper-inflationary environment (see details below) - The difficult trading environment in South Africa - Once-off restructuring costs amounting to R85 million incurred during the period under review Basic earnings per share is expected to decrease by between 90% and 110% (between 19 cents and 23 cents), compared with the 21 cents achieved for the prior comparable period ended 30 September 2018. Headline earnings per share is expected to decrease by between 65% and 85% (between 14 cents and 18 cents) compared with the 21 cents achieved for the prior comparable period ended 30 September 2018. The main drivers for the decline in EPS are: - The above EBITDA drivers - Hyper-inflationary accounting (IAS29) and the application of IFRS9: Financial Instruments, both explained below - Impairment of the equity accounted investment in Ethiopia amounting to R93 million (this item does not impact HEPS) TREATMENT OF ZIMBABWE PPC has been closely monitoring the economic situation in Zimbabwe and whilst the business is self-sufficient, the Zimbabwe Public Accountants and Auditors Board (PAAB) announced that Zimbabwe is a hyperinflationary economy. This conclusion was supported by a rapid increase in the inflation rate which at the end of September 2019 was in excess of 150%, the significant deterioration in the traded interbank Zimbabwean dollar exchange rate over the period and the lack of access to foreign currency to discharge foreign liabilities. PPC Zimbabwe has applied hyperinflationary accounting from 1 April 2019 – 30 September 2019, in accordance with IAS 29 accounting standards. The results, net assets and cash flows were then translated from Zimbabwe Dollar (“ZWL”) into rand at a closing rate of 1 ZWL to 0.99 ZAR. The impact of the above on the PPC Group results is as follows: - PPC Zimbabwe EBITDA is expected to decline between 40% and 45% compared with the R352m achieved in the prior comparable period. - Loss for the period is impacted by a net monetary gain amounting to R445 million (after tax) PPC Group results are also impacted by application of IFRS9: Financial Instruments to the funds held in Zimbabwe and the Zimbabwe Financial Asset that arose as a result of the US$ denominated Zimbabwe loan that qualified as legacy debt. The impact on the group results is an increase in expected credit losses of between R300 million and R350 million. The information in this trading statement has not been reviewed or reported on by the Company’s external auditors.

Operational Update for the four months ended 30 July 2019 PPC Ltd (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) Company registration number: 1892/000667/06 JSE / ZSE code: PPC JSE ISIN: ZAE 000170049 JSE code: PPC003 JSE ISIN: ZAG000117524 (“PPC” or “Company”) OPERATIONAL UPDATE FOR THE FOUR MONTHS ENDED 30 JULY 2019 GROUP PERFORMANCE Group EBITDA increased by between 5 – 10% for the four months ended 30 July 2019 (“period”), on the back of continued selling price momentum in South Africa and ongoing cost optimisation in terms of R70/tonne savings initiative. The group incurred once-off restructuring costs as part of its operational and head office optimisation, which detracted from the EBITDA performance. The restructuring of the group will position the business to take advantage of future growth. The Southern Africa cement business continues to optimise its route to market strategy by focusing on its most profitable market segments. In the Rest of Africa, the focus is on cash preservation and maximising US$ EBITDA per tonne. The group balance sheet remains strong, with group gross debt at similar levels to those reported for March 2019. SOUTHERN AFRICA CEMENT Despite a challenging operating environment, average cement prices in Southern African (including Botswana), increased by 7.0 - 8.0% for the period. Aligned with the objective of focusing on EBITDA enhancing volume growth, cement sales declined by 10 - 15% compared to the corresponding period in FY’19 (“comparable period”), in line with the estimated decline in domestic demand. Domestic cement demand remains constrained due to a subdued demand environment. Importer and blender activity have also contributed to a competitive operating environment. EBITDA increased by 5 - 10% supported the R70/tonne cost saving initiative. Total cement imports increased by 22% for January 2019 - June 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, amounting to ~640,000 tonnes. The Concrete Institute (TCI) on behalf of the domestic cement industry submitted an application to ITAC highlighting the impact of imports on domestic cement production. The industry is also engaging with the relevant authorities to ensure that blended cement meets the requisite standards. MATERIAL BUSINESS LIME Lime revenue increased by 5 – 10%, supported by higher selling pricing and volumes. EBITDA was marginally lower than the comparable period, due to higher input and maintenance costs. AGGREAGATES AND READYMIX Aggregates and readymix revenue decreased by 5 – 10%, due to constrained demand and challenging pricing environment. This has also resulted in a decline in EBITDA compared to the prior comparable period. REST OF AFRICA CEMENT ZIMBABWE Trading conditions in Zimbabwe remain challenging, due to liquidity constraints and inflationary pressures. PPC remains focused on optimising its local operations and implementing its cash preservation strategy to ensure the business is self- sufficient. The devaluation of the Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) dollar versus the US$ impacted revenue, which declined by 30 – 35% in rands. Overall cement sales volumes contracted by 25 – 30% due to a weaker economic climate. Cement pricing, which was aligned with input cost inflation, was higher than the previous comparable period. EBITDA declined by 10 - 15%, while EBITDA margins remained within the guided range of 30 – 35%. Rwanda In Rwanda, Cimerwa continues to benefit from increased construction activity and high economic growth. The successful completion of 1 st phase debottlenecking of the plant has resulted in higher cement sales. Overall volumes for the period increased by 35 - 40%, coupled with stable pricing. Pleasingly, EBITDA increased by more than 200%, compared to the prior period. Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) Demand remained subdued in the DRC. The EBITDA performance of the business has tracked below last year, mainly as a result of a competitive pricing environment during the first two months of the financial year. Pricing has subsequently recovered, with the business executing strategic plans to maximise EBITDA and free cash flow generation in order to minimise capital requirements from the centre. PPC is currently engaging with its lenders to re-structure the debt in the DRC and put in place a more sustainable capital structure. Ethiopia Habesha has not achieved targeted profitability levels for the period due to sub- optimal plant performance and pricing challenges. PPC management is responding by prioritising plant optimisation and route to market strategies. OUTLOOK PPC will continue to focus on stabilising the performance of its core operations and positioning the group for future growth. The restructuring of the head office will enable the alignment of the business to its operational requirements and enable PPC to focus on maximising EBITDA in all markets it operates in and reducing financial leverage. The information in this operational update has not been reviewed or reported on by the Company’s external auditors. 29 August 2019 Sponsor Merrill Lynch South Africa (Pty) Limited PPC: Anashrin Pillay Head Investor Relations Tel: +27 (0) 11 386 9000 Financial Communications Advisor: Instinctif Partners Gift Dlamini Mobile: +27 11 050 7536 Date: 29/08/2019 08:15:00 Produced by the JSE SENS Department.

Exchange Control Directive RU102/2019 Issued by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe PPC Ltd (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) Company registration number: 1892/000667/06 JSE code: PPC JSE ISIN: ZAE 000170049 ZSE code: PPC JSE code: PPC003 JSE ISIN: ZAG000117524 (“PPC” or “Company”) EXCHANGE CONTROL DIRECTIVE RU102/2019 ISSUED BY THE RESERVE BANK OF ZIMBABWE – PERTAINING TO TRADING OF SHARES OF DUALLY LISTED FIRMS ON THE ZIMBABWE STOCK EXCHANGE OR EXTERNAL EXCHANGES. 1 Background The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe issued a directive in terms of section 35 (1) of the Exchange Control Regulations, Statutory Instrument 109 of 1996, being Exchange Control Directive RU 102/2019 (“Directive”) which amongst other issues deals with matters pertaining to trading of shares of dually listed firms on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange or external stock exchanges. 2 Directive The relevant part of the Directive provides that: Trading of Dual listed shares 14.1 Authorised Dealers are advised that with effect from 25 June 2019, any investor who shall purchase a dual listed share on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange (ZSE) shall only be allowed to sell the share on the ZSE or on an external stock exchange after a vesting period of ninety (90) days from the date of initial purchase. 14.2 For investors wishing to uplift dual-listed shares from external bourses for purposes of selling the shares on the ZSE, such sales shall only be allowed to be executed after a period of ninety (90) days from the date of registration on the ZSE. 14.3 For investors who have already acquired the dual-listed shares on the ZSE and are desirous of disposing of such shares, Exchange Control directs that such sales can only be allowed in instances where the shares have been purchased on or before 20 March 2019. 14.4 The procedures for trading in dual-listed shares on the ZSE as previously communicated by Exchange Control on 26 May 2016 shall remain operational. 3 Implications The implications of this Directive are as follows; 3.1 Any investor who purchases shares in a dual listed Company will only be able to dispose of the shares after a period of 90 days from the date of the original purchase. 3.2 The directive also has a retrospective effect in that only those who acquired their shares on or before 20 March 2019 qualify to dispose of their shares if they so wish. 3.3 Locals investors holding shares in dual-listed entities will not be able to sell their shares until the maturity of the vesting period of 90 days. 4 Conclusions Shareholders should carefully consider these changes and the implications when trading in their shares. 1 July 2019 Sponsor Merrill Lynch South Africa (Pty) Limited PPC: Anashrin Pillay Head Investor Relations Tel: +27 (0) 11 386 9000 Financial Communications Advisor: Instinctif Partners Gift Dlamini Mobile: +27 11 050 7536 Date: 01/07/2019 10:25:00 Produced by the JSE SENS Department.

Reviewed Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements PPC Ltd (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (PPC or company or group) Company registration number: 1892/000667/06 JSE code: PPC JSE ISIN: ZAE 000170049 ZSE code: PPC JSE code: PPC003 JSE ISIN: ZAG000117524 REVIEWED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS - Headline earnings per share increased 33% to 20 cents - Basic earnings per share up 60% at 16 cents - Group revenue increased 1% to R10,4 billion - Group reported EBITDA increased by 4% to R1,9 billion - Group overheads reduced by 19% or R260 million COMMENTARY Johan Claassen, CEO, said: "PPC has been able to produce a solid set of results, by delivering on its strategic priorities. The group has been successful in executing on its FOH-FOUR strategic priorities, with key focus areas being financial, operational, human capital and customers. This has resulted in significant cost savings, as part of our R70/tonne savings initiatives. These actions will position the group well for the future. In the Rest of Africa (RoA), the Zimbabwe results were impacted by the change in functional currency, which reduced revenue and EBITDA contributions. Pleasingly, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) business achieved positive EBITDA in a challenging market. In Rwanda, the business achieved increased output benefiting from the debottlenecking in the first half of the financial year. Positive free cash flow generated was used to repay debt obligations, which remained within targeted levels. The group's liquidity position was well managed with a smoother debt maturity profile". Johannes Theodorus Claassen Chief executive officer MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS IN THE year - Group overheads reduced by 19% or R260 million - Group EBITDA increased by 4% to R1,9 billion - DRC contributed EBITDA of R108 million - EBITDA cash conversion ratio 1,0 times GROUP PERFORMANCE Group revenue increased by 1% to R10 409 million (March 2018: R10 271 million) supported by a 1% increase in overall cement volumes to 5,9 million tonnes. Cost of sales increased by 6% to R8 399 million (March 2018: R7 924 million) compared with the previous year. The higher cost of sales is attributed to DRC, southern Africa cement and the materials division. The southern African cement and materials businesses experienced above inflation input cost pressures, as well as once-off unplanned maintenance costs. The DRC was fully accounted for in the period for the first time. The business benefited from the restructuring of the PPC head office and the R70/tonne cost savings initiatives in southern Africa. Group overheads decreased significantly by 19%, resulting in a cost reduction of R260 million. As a result, group EBITDA increased by 4% to R1 946 million (March 2018: R1 880 million) at an EBITDA margin of 18,7% (March 2018: 18,3%). In addition, the DRC business made a positive EBITDA contribution of R108 million. Finance costs increased marginally by 1% to R681 million (March 2018: R675 million). Lower finance charges in South Africa were offset by higher finance costs in RoA. South Africa's finance costs decreased by 31% to R234 million (March 2018: R337 million), while RoA's finance costs increased by 33% to R447 million (March 2018: R338 million). The DRC accounted for the majority of the increase in RoA finance charges. Taxation declined by 97% to R6 million in the current year (March 2018: R205 million). The basic earnings per share of 16 cents per share was outside the previously published range as reported on 21 June 2019, due to the fair value loss on the Zimbabwe government bonds. Net movement in cash and cash equivalents excluding the investment in government bonds and the stock market of R324 million in Zimbabwe, was an inflow of R126 million (March 2018: outflow of R59 million). This was aided by improved working capital management which resulted in a release of R63 million, and a 54% reduction in cash taxation paid of R151 million (March 2018: R330 million). Capital investments in property, plant and equipment decreased by 16% to R773 million (March 2018: R921 million). Gross debt increased from R4 682 million in March 2018 to R5 002 million at the end of March 2019. Rand weakness increased gross debt by R630 million. Net debt to EBITDA for March 2019 was 2,3 times (March 2018: 2,0 times). Excluding the investment of R324 million in government bonds and the Zimbabwe Stock Market, net debt to EBITDA would have been 2,2 times, which is within target range. CEMENT SOUTHERN AFRICA In southern Africa (including Botswana), cement volumes declined by 2% to 3%. Volume declines were experienced in South Africa against the backdrop of a challenging market, where both the consumer segment and construction industry came under pressure. Cement imports increased by 84% to 1,0 million tonnes for calendar year 2018, albeit off a relatively low base. Imports received via Durban increased by 89% to more than 600 000 tonnes, while imports received in the Cape rose by 48% to 209 000 tonnes. Continued increase in the production of blended product contributed to a more competitive inland market. Realised average selling prices for southern Africa increased by 1% to 2%, as the business continued with its drive of increasing cement prices to recover operational costs. Selling prices were increased by 8 to 12% in January 2019. The full benefit is expected to be realised in the new financial year. Overall, revenue for Cement southern Africa declined by 1% to R5 431 million (March 2018: R5 499 million). Cost of sales rose by 6%, driven primarily by a 10% increase in distribution costs on a per tonne basis. This was a result of a 30% increase in fuel prices for the period under review. All other production costs were well controlled within the 5% to 7% range. The combination of lower revenue growth and an increase in costs resulted in EBITDA contracting by 20% to R957 million (March 2018: R1 200 million) and margins declining from 21,8% to 17,6%. Non-recurring items relating to commissioning of SK9 and the unplanned Dwaalboom shutdown amounted to R78 million. Excluding these non-recurring items the like-for-like EBITDA margins were 19%. The business has made good progress in terms of the R70/tonne saving initiatives. Cumulatively, the business has achieved R60/tonne in savings since October 2017. This comprises R40/tonne in cost efficiencies and R20/tonne in overhead reduction. PPC will continue to drive operational cost efficiencies in order to achieve targeted savings. MATERIALS BUSINESS The materials business remains an integral part of the cement route-to-market strategy. Revenue increased by 7% to R2 152 million (March 2018: R2 010 million) and the business generated EBITDA of R140 million (March 2018: R192 million). Lime The lime division grew revenue by 4% to R834 million (March 2018: R801 million), with higher prices in certain products compensating for volume declines of 6%. Lime has significant exposure to the steel and allied sectors, where volumes remain constrained. EBITDA contracted by 9% to R123 million (March 2018: R135 million), due to lower volumes, higher input costs and higher maintenance costs. Aggregates and readymix Revenue increased by 9% to R1 318 million (March 2018: R1 209 million), supported by higher prices and marginally improved volumes in all segments. EBITDA contracted to R17 million (March 2018: R57 million), due to higher fuel and maintenance costs. The market remains competitive due to a muted construction industry. REST OF AFRICA CEMENT Revenue increased by 2% to R2 826 million (March 2018: R2 762 million) on volume growth of 10%. Volumes were supported by ramp up of DRC and positive contribution from Rwanda post the debottlenecking in the first half of the financial year. The difficult trading conditions in Zimbabwe had an adverse impact on overall volume growth and price realisation. EBITDA increased by 10% to R810 million (March 2018: R736 million), and EBITDA margins improved from 26,7% to 28,7%. Non-recurring items relating to the CIMERWA debottlenecking amounted to R100 million. Excluding this amount, EBITDA margins are within the guidance range of 30% to 35%. Zimbabwe The published results for PPC Zimbabwe for the first half of the 2019 financial year were based on an exchange rate of 1RTGS$:1US$. The reported results of PPC Zimbabwe being consolidated in PPC group from 1 October 2018 to March 2019, were based on the commercial exchange rate of 3,5RTGS$:1US$. Revenue declined by 20% to R1 447 million (March 2018: R1 813 million) against the backdrop of a weaker cement market, clinker shortages and a depreciation in the functional currency in the second half of the financial year. The successful implementation of our route-to-market strategy has enabled PPC to offset some of these headwinds, with volumes declining by 5%. EBITDA contracted by 20% to R461 million (March 2018: R573 million), however, margins were maintained at 32%. PPC Zimbabwe is operationally self-sufficient and continues to drive local procurement and exports to reduce forex requirements. PPC Zimbabwe continues to service its debt obligations with in-country cash resources. Legacy debt has been registered with the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe and will be settled on a 1:1 basis. Management has implemented contingency measures to mitigate the impact of the liquidity challenges. Rwanda CIMERWA achieved revenue growth of 10% to R885 million (March 2018: R804 million) on the back of a 5% increase in volumes. Revenues were supported by higher realised cement prices in US dollar. EBITDA declined by 9% to R246 million (March 2018: R270 million). EBITDA was impacted by the planned shutdown as a result of the debottlenecking, and additional costs related to clinker imports during the shutdown period. This resulted in a non-recurring EBITDA impact of approximately R100 million. Clinker production returned to normalised levels following the completion of phase 1 of the project, and the debottlenecking will allow for higher capacity utilisation going forward. The outlook for economic growth remains positive, with forecast GDP growth of more than 7% in 2019, supported by all major economic sectors. CIMERWA remains well positioned to benefit from growth in the region. DRC PPC Barnet achieved revenue of R494 million in the period (March 2018: R144 million), driven by a ramp up in production output. Route-to-market initiatives supported the company in achieving a market share of 25% to 30% for the period. Pricing remains constrained due to overcapacity and muted demand. The company achieved an EBITDA of R108 million (March 2018: R(105) million), at a margin of 22%. EBITDA benefited from stringent cost control and entrenchment of route-to-market strategies. The post-election backdrop should create a platform to unlock latent cement demand. Economic GDP growth in the DRC is projected to increase by 4,3% in 2019, primarily supported by mining activity. Ethiopia Habesha, which is still in the ramp-up phase, reported an equity-accounted loss of R67 million for the period. While Habesha achieved volumes of more than 500 000 tonnes, the business performance was constrained by sub-optimal plant performance and pricing challenges. A quick results action plan is being implemented to resolve the operational challenges. Ethiopia remains a compelling investment proposition for PPC in the long term, supported by low cement per capita consumption and higher projected GDP growth rates of above 7%. OUTLOOK The operating environment in South Africa remains challenging, given weak demand and competitive pressures. PPC is committed to achieving sustainable price increases, optimising operational efficiencies and a reduction in financial leverage. In addition, PPC will continue to focus on achieving its R70/tonne profitability initiatives and continue to assess opportunities to refine our network and optimise our support structure. In Zimbabwe, the business continues to focus on cash preservation, self-sufficiency and optimising operations. In Rwanda, CIMERWA is expected to capitalise on the investment to expand capacity, with an anticipated growth in output. The ramp up in the DRC continues, with a focus on maximising EBITDA. PPC Barnet remains well positioned to take advantage of growth in that market. DIVIDEND The board has decided not to declare a dividend to shareholders.

NOTES TO THE REVIEWED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 March 2019 1. BASIS OF PREPARATION The reviewed condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the provisions of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements for provisional reports, and the Companies Act of South Africa. The Listings Requirements require the provisional reports to be prepared in accordance with the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Pronouncements as issued by Financial Reporting Standards Council, and contain at a minimum the requirements of IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the reviewed condensed consolidated financial statements were derived in terms of IFRS. These reviewed condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information required for the full consolidated annual financial statements. The accounting policies and methods of computation used are consistent with those used in the preparation of the consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2018, except where the group has adopted new or revised accounting standards, amendments and interpretations, including the consequential amendment of those standards to other standards, which became effective during the period under review. New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations adopted in the current financial period IFRS 9 Financial Instruments The standard became effective in the current reporting year requiring the group to make adjustments to retained earnings as a result of adopting the standard. The impact of the adoption of this standard and the new accounting policy is disclosed below. IFRS 9 Financial Instruments replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement for the annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, bringing together all three aspects of the accounting for financial instruments: classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting. The Group has applied IFRS 9 modified retrospective approach, with the initial application date of 1 April 2018 with no adjustments to comparative information for the period beginning 1 April 2017. The effect of adopting IFRS 9 resulted in a R17 million net decrease in opening equity balances. The change did not have a material impact on the group's operating, investing and financing cash flows. (a) Classification and measurement Under IFRS 9, debt instruments are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss, amortised cost, or fair value through other comprehensive income. The classification is based on two criteria: the group's business model for managing the assets; and whether the instruments' contractual cash flows represent "solely payments of principal and interest" on the principal amount outstanding. The assessment of the group's business model was made as of the date of initial application, 1 April 2018, and then applied retrospectively to those financial assets that were not derecognised before 1 April 2018. The assessment of whether contractual cash flows on debt instruments which solely comprised principal and interest was made based on the facts and circumstances as at the initial recognition of the assets. Investment in government bonds, trade receivables and other loan receivables previously classified as loans and receivables are held to collect contractual cash flows and give rise to cash flows representing solely payments of principal and interest. These are now classified and measured as debt instruments at amortised cost. There are no changes in classification and measurement for the group's financial liabilities. (b) Impairment The adoption of IFRS 9 has fundamentally changed the group's accounting for impairment losses for financial assets by replacing IAS 39's incurred loss approach with a forward looking expected credit loss (ECL) approach. IFRS 9 requires the group to recognise an allowance for ECLs for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss and contract assets. Upon the adoption of IFRS 9, on 1 April 2018, the group recognised additional impairment of R23 million, predominately relating to the ECL on trade receivables. This resulted in a net decrease in equity of R17 million (post-tax) as at 1 April 2018. Refer note 11, 13 and 14 for ECL assessment performed as at 31 March 2019. IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers On 1 April 2018 the group implemented IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers which replaced IAS 18 Revenue. Revenue comprises the consideration received or receivable on contracts entered into with customers in the ordinary course of the entity's activities. Revenue is shown net of taxes, cash discounts, settlement discounts and rebates given to customers. Revenue is recognised as the amount of the transaction prices allocated to each performance obligation and this is determined by the amount that depicts the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the goods and services promised to the customer. Revenue is recognised on the sale of goods when control is transferred to the customer. Revenue from providing services is recognised when the service has been performed. The group aligned its measurement and recognition principles of revenue with that of IFRS 15 upon adoption. There is no material impact on the measurement and recognition of revenue. New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations to be adopted in the next financial period IFRS16 Leases is effective for years commencing on or after 1 January 2019. The standard will be adopted by the PPC group for the financial reporting period commencing 1 April 2019. The group has completed an initial assessment of the potential impact of the adoption of IFRS 16 on its consolidated financial statements. IFRS 16 requires a lessee to recognise a right-of-use asset and lease obligations for all leases except for short-term leases, or leases of low-value assets which the leases may be treated similarly to operating leases under the current standard IAS 17 if the exceptions are applied. A lessee measures its lease obligation at the present value of future lease payments, and recognises a right-of-use asset initially measured at the same amount as the lease obligation including costs directly related to entering into the lease. Right-of-use assets are subsequently treated in a similar way to other assets such as property, plant and equipment or intangible assets dependent on the nature of the underlying item. PPC group has various rental agreements in place. In accordance with the above, right-of-use assets and lease obligations (liabilities) associated to these rentals would be recognised in the statement of financial position. The group currently recognises the rental expense of the properties on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Upon the adoption of IFRS 16, the group's operating lease charge in profit or loss will be replaced by a depreciation charge in respect of the corresponding right-of-use assets, as well as an interest charge relating to the respective lease liabilities, which may in aggregate be different to the current operating lease charge. PPC group will account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model in a similar manner to finance leases under IAS 17, with the exception of the short-term and low-value leases. The group has prepared an impact assessment on each subsidiary. Based on the assessment performed, the estimated impact of IFRS 16 on the group's 2020 financial year-end will be the following: - The group will recognise a potential right-of-use asset of R92 million and a corresponding lease liability of R92 million - The group will be required to separately recognise the interest expense on the lease liability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset. PPC group will potentially recognise depreciation of R22 million and an interest expense of R10 million. The depreciation of the asset is based on the lower of the remaining lease period or the useful life of the asset Management continues to assess the implications of the remaining insignificant individual leases in which the group is the lessee, which may cause the final impact to differ from the estimates provided above. Change in accounting estimate During the year, the group reassessed the useful lives of its property, plant and equipment as required by IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment. The useful lives of the assets were adjusted to reflect more appropriately the pattern of the consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the assets concerned. In accordance with IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment, this reassessment represents a change in an accounting estimate and is therefore applied prospectively in terms of IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. The impact of the change in applying the adjusted useful lives for the year ended 31 March 2019 is a decrease in the depreciation expense of R17 million. All monetary information and figures presented in these financial statements are stated in rand, unless otherwise indicated. Going concern At year-end, current assets of R3 071 million (2018: R3[ 262 million) exceeded current liabilities of R2 860 million (2018: R2 409 million) by R211 million (2018: R853 million). PPC's cash flows are under pressure due to the economic environment PPC operates in as well as pricing pressures in the South African market. Group debt position has increased since the beginning of the financial year mainly due to the weaker rand/dollar closing exchange rate which was R14,42 (March 2018: R11,82). To mitigate the liquidity risk, management has adopted the following risk management plan: - Refinancing maturing debt and increasing loan facilities from R2,4 billion to R3,1 billion. The loan facility of R700 million has been approved by the lenders. At the end of this report the group had committed borrowing facilities of R2,4 billion and 70% (2018: 72%) of these facilities were utilised. In total, R731 million of the committed borrowing facilities were unutilised at the reporting date. These numbers exclude project funding in Rwanda, DRC and Zimbabwe - The R3 billion facility, as well as the cost saving measures that the group is currently exploring provides additional headroom - Negotiation of the DRC debt to reschedule the capital repayments for a further two years are in progress with the lenders - The covenant ratio target for group debt to EBITDA has been favourably amended and confirmed by a revised agreement between PPC and the lenders - Improved debtors collection measures have been implemented in order to increase cash inflows - Dividends due from PPC Zimbabwe and the outstanding rights offer proceeds have been invested in government bonds Furthermore, despite the deteriorating economic environment and the challenges being faced with processing of foreign payments by the banks in Zimbabwe. Directors believe that PPC Zimbabwe has the ability to continue in operation as a going concern for the foreseeable future. The change in the Zimbabwe functional currency resulted in the reduction of EBITDA by R108 million. PPC Zimbabwe has set out action plans to help ensure that operations are not interrupted due to difficulties in remitting payments to foreign suppliers. Through the action plans, PPC Zimbabwe is exploring various mitigation methods such as increasing export sales and obtaining a trade financing mechanism facility. In addition to the group's current trading position and forecasts and facilities in place, the directors believe that the group will be able to comply with its financial covenants and be able to meet its obligations as they fall due, and accordingly have formed a judgement that it is appropriate to prepare the reviewed condensed financial statements on a going concern basis. Change of the Zimbabwe functional currency Due to the deteriorating United States dollar (US$) liquidity issues in Zimbabwe the government created the real time gross settlement (RTGS) as an alternative method of payment which was fixed on a 1:1 parity policy. A rising black-market currency trade has resulted in the value of RTGS quickly deteriorating. On 1 October 2018 the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe announced that banks must separate foreign accounts from RTGS accounts with effect from 15 October 2018, thus officially recognising that actual foreign currency is different to RTGS. The result of the change was a reassessment of the functional currency of the entity. In determining the functional currency the entity assessed the currencies that influenced sales and expenses which revealed a mix between RTGS and US$. Management then concluded that the functional currency of PPC Zimbabwe is the RTGS$. On 20 February 2019 the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe announced that the RTGS would be recognised as an official currency and that an interbank foreign exchange market would be established to formalise trading in RTGS balances with other currencies. The effect of the change meant that the US$ statement of financial position, as at 30 September 2018 needed to be fair valued to RTGS$. Further analysis on the currency movement between the US$/RTGS$ rate was performed at 31 March 2019, and the exchange differences were recorded in profit or loss in accordance with IAS 21. The application of the change in functional currency has been applied prospectively in our financial results for the 2019 reporting period. For inclusion in the condensed consolidated income statement of the group, results in respect of Zimbabwe have been translated at the average US$ exchange rate for the period up to 30 September 2018 and at the estimated RTGS$ rate for the remaining six months of the financial year. For inclusion in the consolidated statement of financial position, results have been translated at the estimated closing RTGS$ rate of 3,01 to US$ and an average rate of 3,5. On 1 October 2018, an opening RTGS$ rate of 3,5 to the US$ was applied. The inputs considered in this estimate include the recent announcement to increase the fuel price for those settling in RTGS$, global relative fuel prices and the official inflation rate.

REVENUE Adoption of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers IFRS 15 replaces IAS 11 Construction Contracts and IAS 18 Revenue. The standard requires entities to identify the separate performance obligations and allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract by reference to their relative stand-alone selling prices. The group's primary revenue is derived from the sale of cementitious goods and as a result the group also earns incidental transport revenue from delivering these goods to customers. The incidental transport revenue has always been included as part of revenue earned, however, due to the adoption of IFRS 15, the aforementioned streams of revenue are two separate performance obligations, which are always met at the same time. The group has the following revenue streams, which are all recognised at a point in time: Year ended Year ended 2019 2018 Reviewed Audited Rm Rm Disaggregation of revenue Revenue from the sale of cementitious goods(a) 9 071 9 095 Revenue from transportation services 1 338 1 176 Total revenue 10 409 10 271 Major goods and services per primary geographical markets Cementitious goods 9 071 9 095 Southern Africa 6 376 6 462 Rest of Africa 2 695 2 633 Transport revenue 1 338 1 176 Southern Africa 1 207 1 047 Rest of Africa 131 129 (a) Cementitious goods include the sale of cement, readymix, limestone, clinker, ash and aggregates.

Payment of the transaction price is also payable immediately at this point. Year ended Year ended 2019 2018 Reviewed Audited Rm Rm 3. FAIR VALUE AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE movements 3.1 Fair value and foreign exchange gains Movements in the fair value and foreign exchange gains are recognised in the income statement and comprise the following: Gain on remeasurement of put option liability (refer note 22) - 238 (Loss)/gain on unlisted collective investments (1) 5 ECL on Zimbabwe government bonds (40) - Gain/(loss) on translation of foreign currency denominated monetary items 32 (100) (9) 143 The fair value adjustment on the Zimbabwe government bonds was determined by applying an ECL of 12,7% against the total asset recognised which resulted in an ECL of R40 million. Included in the gain/(loss) on translation of foreign currency denominated monetary items, is a gain of R8 million arising from the remeasurement of the Zimbabwe assets and liabilities following the change in functional currency, and a loss of R13 million (2018: R80 million) comprising the remeasurement following the devaluations of the Congolese franc against the US dollar and a fair value adjustment relating to the discounting of the non-current VAT receivable in the DRC. Furthermore, a remeasurement loss of R16 million (2018: R12 million) has been recorded against the US dollar denominated project funding in Rwanda. Also included in the loss on translation of foreign currency monetary items is losses and gains made on an open forward exchange contract held for capital purchases and working capital requirements.

Cost capitalisation Significant judgement is required in identifying costs to be capitalised to a project during the construction, testing and ramp-up phases. Judgement is further required to identify indirect costs that could be capitalised. Revenue and the related cost of sales generated during the pre-commissioning phase are capitalised to the plant. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset if it meets the following requirements: - It is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the entity; and - The cost of the item can be measured reliably The cost of an item of PPE comprises: - Purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discount and rebates - Any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management - The initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located, the obligation for which an entity incurs either when the item is acquired or as a consequence of having used the item during a particular period for purposes other than to produce inventories during that year (IAS 16.16) During the current year, the Slurry Kiln 9 (SK9) was commissioned. The total costs capitalised into the project amounted to R1,4 billion. In accordance with IAS 16, profits of R18 million earned during the testing phase, comprising revenue (R74 million) less cost of sales (R56 million), has been written off against the capitalised cost of the project. Impairment assessment - PPC Cement SA IAS 36 provides that if there is an indication that an asset may be impaired, the recoverable amount of the asset (or, if appropriate, the cash-generating unit (CGU)) is determined. The recoverable amount of the CGU was determined to exceed the carrying amount. As the cement industry is a cyclical environment, manufacturers will go through troughs where some of the assets (kilns) will be idle when demand is down, however, maintenance on these assets will continue to ensure that when the market conditions improve they are in a position to take advantage. As a result it is quite key in this industry to review individual assets that form part of a CGU separately. As at the end of the March 2019 financial year, a few of the PPC cement kilns were not in use due to market constraints. The cement industry is, however, a cyclical environment and the demand can pick up at any time when the market conditions become favourable. PPC Cement SA identified the assets that are no longer in use but still have a carrying amount. In applying the requirements of IAS 36, PPC Cement SA decided to impair these assets. They will be derecognised from the fixed assets registers once a decision to scrap the assets has been taken. The total impairment recognised on these assets is R82 million and is reflected under the Cement southern Africa segment in the segmental analysis. Impairment assessment - Zimbabwe As a result of the current economic environment, liquidity challenges and the change in functional currency in Zimbabwe, an impairment assessment was undertaken. In spite of the economic challenges, the financial performance of the business has been above our internal forecasts and prior year before the impact of the change in functional currency. The inclusion of the Harare mill has improved cash flows. In performing the impairment review, a value-in-use methodology was applied. Cash flow projections were based on financial forecasts approved by management applying a 19% (2018: 16%) US dollar discount rate. The cash flow projections during the forecast period are based on similar pricing and margins to those currently being achieved by the business and takes into consideration the future trends within the industry, geographical location and expected growth in neighbouring countries. The values used reflect past experiences while the economic growth rates of approximately 3% per annum (2018: 2% per annum) are management's best estimates that have been prepared using leading financial institutions' forecasts. Following the impairment assessment review, the recoverable amount of PPC Zimbabwe was calculated to be higher than its carrying amount resulting in no impairment. There are no indications that any reasonable possible change in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount has been calculated would cause the carrying amount to exceed the recoverable amount of this CGU. Impairment assessment - DRC PPC, in partnership with the Barnet group and International Finance Corporation (IFC), completed the construction of a 1,2 million tonnes per annum integrated cement plant for approximately US$300 million in the DRC, near Kimpese in Kongo Central province in western DRC, 230km south-west of the capital Kinshasa. Following impairment indicators being identified, management performed an impairment assessment. IAS 36 Impairment of Assets provides two options for assessing recoverable amounts and states that the recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less cost to sell or value in use. In performing the impairment review, a value-in-use methodology was applied. Cash flow projections were based on financial forecasts approved by management applying a 17% (2018: 17%) US dollar discount rate. The cash flow projections during the forecast period are based on similar pricing and margins to those currently being achieved by the business and takes into consideration the future trends within the industry, geographical location and expected growth in neighbouring countries. The values used reflect current industry performance and experiences while the economic growth rates of approximately 5% per annum (2018: 4% per annum) are management's best estimates that have been prepared using leading financial institutions' forecasts. The DRC general elections were successfully held in December 2018, thereby improving the political stability, market confidence and subsequently the economic prospects. Cement consumption grew by 43% to 539 000 tonnes from 378 000 tonnes. The country currently has a cement import ban in place and no exports have been recorded by the BCC since mid-2015. There is also a new 0,6 million tonne plant being constructed by Diamond cement in the DRC (Brazzaville). The IFC suggests that the country will reach a cement supply deficit by 2022. Sales volumes have been softer than expected due to a number of external factors (economic, political, market activities of competitors some of whom are new entrants in the market). However, PPC Barnet DRC has in the past few months slowly improved the sales volume and subsequently revenue. Real GDP growth was an estimated 4,0% in 2018, up from 3,7% in 2017, due to higher commodity prices and greater mining production. The primary sector continued to be the key driver of growth, sustained by a dynamic extraction sector. Following the impairment assessment review, no further impairment was recognised as the calculated recoverable amount approximates the carrying amount.

CIMERWA Limitada (CIMERWA) The recoverable amount for this CGU of R2 557 million (2018: R1 094 million) was determined based on a value-in-use calculation, using cash flow projections based on financial forecasts approved by management and covering an initial seven-year period and a post-forecast period of 13 years, bringing the total period of the cash flows to 20 years from the report date. The company's budgeting cycle time horizon is seven years and management believes this should provide a more accurate base for the value-in-use calculation. A Rwandan franc discount rate of 17% (2018: 18%) was used in the valuation. Cash flow projections during the forecast period of seven years were based on improved margins and profitability, following the commissioning of the new plant in September 2015, taking cognisance of an appropriate ramp-up period. Selling prices and cost of sales were forecast to increase at applicable inflation rates varying between 5,1% and 5,4% (2018: 5% and 6%), impacted by anticipated competitor activity in the earlier phase of the planning horizon. The cash flows post the forecast period had been extrapolated using specific growth rates of 7,3% (2018: 6,7%) per annum which is in line with the real inflation rate in Rwanda. The forecast period was limited to the life of mine, currently estimated at 20 years. The forecast takes into consideration the future trends within the industry, geographical location and expected growth in neighbouring countries. The values used reflect past experiences while the economic growth rates are management's best estimates that have been prepared using leading financial institutions' forecasts. In both the current and prior reporting periods, the recoverable amount was deemed to be higher than the current carrying value, resulting in no impairment being charged against profit and loss. CIMERWA is included under Cement Rest of Africa in the segmental analysis. There are no indications that any reasonable possible change in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount has been calculated would cause the carrying amount to exceed the recoverable amount of this CGU. PPC Cement SA (Pty) Ltd During the year PPC Cement SA (Pty) Ltd and Safika were integrated into one entity PPC Cement SA (Pty) Ltd. Therefore, for purposes of impairment testing, the goodwill is allocated to the integrated Cement SA entity. The recoverable amount of R7 495 million (2018: R11 114 million) for the combined Cement SA CGUs was determined based on value-in-use calculations, using cash flow projections based on financial forecasts approved by management and covering an initial seven-year period. The company's budgeting cycle time horizon is seven years and management believes this should provide a more accurate base for the value-in-use calculation. A discount rate of 13% (2018: 13%) and terminal growth rate of 5,6% (2018: 5,5%) have been used in the valuation. Cash flow projections during the forecast period are based on similar pricing and margins to those currently being achieved by the businesses. Selling prices and cost of sales are forecast to increase at rates linked to local inflation forecasts varying between 6% and 10% (2018: 6% and 10%). The values used reflect past experiences while the economic growth rates of approximately 2% (2018: 2%) per annum are management's best estimates that have been prepared using leading financial institutions' forecasts. In both the current and prior reporting periods, the recoverable amount was deemed higher than the current carrying value, resulting in no impairment being charged against profit and loss. The Cement SA CGU is included under Cement Southern Africa in the segmental analysis. There are no indications that any reasonable possible change in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount has been calculated would cause the carrying amount to exceed the recoverable amount of this CGU. Readymix During the 2017 reporting period the PPC group undertook to re-organise the manner in which it discloses its operating segments according to the business units which are reviewed by the group executive committee. One of these key segments is aggregates and readymix. Included in the readymix segment is the Pronto, 3Q Mahuma and Ulula Ash. Applying judgement, management was of the opinion that the natural synergy between the operations of Pronto, 3Q Mahuma and Ulula Ash, will result in a greater total competitive advantage for the group and should therefore be considered as one CGU. Assessed as its own group of assets, the readymix business operation can be seen to generate revenue and incur expenses which are independent of other groups of assets within the PPC group. This can also be substantiated further by the manner in which the group discloses the performance of its different business units in its segmental information. Therefore, for purposes of impairment testing, the goodwill is allocated to the combined readymix CGU. They represent the lowest level within the entity at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. The recoverable amount of R816 million (2018: R453 million) for the CGU was determined based on value-in-use calculations, using cash flow projections based on financial forecasts approved by management and covering an initial seven-year period, which is in line with the company's budgeting cycle time horizon as management believes this should provide a more accurate base for the value-in-use calculation. A discount rate of 14% (2018: 16%) and terminal growth rate of 2% (2018: 5,5%) have been used in the valuation. Cash flow projections during the forecast period are based on similar pricing and margins to those currently being achieved by the business, noting that selling prices achieved during the year are below last year. Selling prices and cost of sales are forecast to increase at rates linked to local inflation forecasts and vary between 6% and 10% (2018: 5% and 9%). The values used reflect past experiences while the economic growth rates of approximately 2% (2018: 2%) per annum are management's best estimates that have been prepared using leading financial institutions' forecasts. Following the goodwill impairment assessment review, the recoverable amount of readymix was calculated to be higher than its carrying amount resulting in no impairment to goodwill. It is estimated that a decrease in net cash flows by 45% (2018: 4%) would result in the carrying amount exceeding the recoverable amount. Year ended Year ended 2019 2018 Reviewed Audited Rm Rm 10.

Per the Zimbabwe exchange control guidelines, these are treated as legacy debts and dividends pre-20 February 2019 (date of publication of Statutory Instrument 33). The investment was registered with the Zimbabwean authorities in accordance with Statutory Instrument 33 and therefore qualify for the 1:1 conversion of US$ to RTGS$. The remaining R2 million represents treasury bills issued in exchange for the funds previously expropriated by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe. In accordance with the requirements of IFRS 9, an ECL assessment was performed on the Zimbabwe government bonds taking into account a range of expected default rates on government bonds with similar credit profiles, which resulted in an ECL of R40 million. In assessing the ECL default rate, the following was considered: - The historical average recovery rate for sovereign bonds measured by Moody's in their Sovereign Default and Recovery Rates Study 1983 ? 2016 is 65% - The recovery rate is measured by the ratio of the present value of cash flows received as a result of the distressed exchange versus those initially promised, discounted using yield to maturity immediately prior to default - This methodology closer reflects IFRS 9 - Sub-Saharan African countries comprise a significant portion of sovereign defaults. The most recent at time of publication of the report was the 2016 by Mozambique where there was a loss of approximately 12% Based on the above it was determined that an ECL of 12,7% was deemed appropriate. As a result of the uncertainty around the expatriation of funds from Zimbabwe, the investment in government bonds has been classified as non-current.

Refer note 14 for the restricted cash. VAT receivable The group incurred VAT during the construction of the plant in the DRC. In the 2017 financial year, management received a letter from the DRC Finance Department which indicates that the VAT needs to be paid to PPC Barnet DRC on condition that the money is utilised for discharge of local suppliers and local salary obligations. The letter did not, however, state when the payments will be initiated. As a result of the uncertainty around the timing of receipt of the funds, the VAT receivable has been classified as non-current. During the year, a loss of R13 million (2018: R80 million) comprising the remeasurement following devaluations of the Congolese franc against the US dollar and a fair value adjustment relating to the non-current VAT receivable was recorded and is reflected in fair value and foreign exchange gains/(losses) in the income statement (refer note 3). Refunds amounting to R12 million (2018: R11 million) were received during the year. An amount of Rnil (2018: R3 million) assessed to be irrecoverable was impaired during the year. Long-term receivable When the plant in the DRC was being constructed, PPC Barnet DRC entered into an agreement whereby PPC and the local power corporation would build the necessary power facility to supply electricity. In terms of this agreement, the portion initially contributed by PPC would be repaid through electrical usage of the plant.

PPC Zimbabwe The rand value of the gross cash balances in Zimbabwe significantly reduced to R206 million (comprising RTGS$, US$, pula and rand) compared to R515 million at the end of March 2018 due to the introduction of the RTGS$ with a closing exchange rate of 3,01 to the US$. The introduction of the RTGS$ as the functional currency in Zimbabwe resulted in a 67% devaluation against the US$ at year-end using the official interbank year end rate of US$1:RTGS$3,01. Furthermore, the decrease was also caused by the settlement of foreign creditors which improved over the period and the transfer of the dividend amounts owing to PPC Ltd which was invested in the Zimbabwe government bonds and listed shares in the Zimbabwe stock market.

PPC has set up an environmental trust in South Africa to administer the local funding requirements of its decommissioning and rehabilitation obligations. Currently, there are no such regulations in the other jurisdictions in which the group operates for the creation of a rehabilitation trust fund. The investments in the trust fund are carried at fair value through profit or loss and amount to R140 million (2018: R134 million) at year-end (refer note 11). Management have assessed the discount rate applied in determining the decommissioning and rehabilitation provision for Cement southern Africa. In the current year there was a change in estimate, which is applied prospectively. The impact of the change in discount rate applied amounted to an R89 million reduction to the provision for rehabilitation and decommissioning, with a R59 million reduction to cost of sales and a R30 million reduction to the decommissioning asset. Post-retirement healthcare benefits (defined benefit plan) Historically, qualifying employees were granted certain post-retirement healthcare benefits. The obligation for the employer to pay medical aid contributions after retirement is no longer part of the conditions of employment for new employees.

DEFERRED TAXATION Net liability at the end of the year comprises: 624 797 Deferred taxation asset 331 245 Deferred taxation liability 955 1 042 Analysis of deferred taxation Property, plant, equipment and intangible assets 1 284 1 189 Other non-current assets 50 134 Current assets (6) (10) Non-current liabilities (111) (124) Current liabilities (65) (75) Reserves 4 1 Taxation losses (532) (318) 624 797 Deferred taxation assets Deferred taxation assets are recognised to the extent it is probable that taxable profits will be available in future periods, based on approved business plans, against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The recognition of deferred tax assets is assessed at subsidiary level taking into account the applicable legal provisions of the country in which the PPC subsidiary recognising the deferred tax asset is registered. Further, the recognition of deferred tax assets take into account applicable tax rates, which may vary between reporting periods. CIMERWA has accumulated tax losses over the last four years with a significant amount arising in 2015 from claiming a 50% investment deduction on the new plant. Article 29 of law no 16/2005 capped the utilisation of tax losses to a five-year period following the tax loss. A new income tax law, law no 016/2018 has been gazetted repealing law no 16/2005 of 18/08/2005 on direct income tax. This new law is applicable to CIMERWA. Article 32 of law no 016/2018, which came into force on 13 April 2018, states that the Rwandan Revenue Authority (RRA) may authorise the taxpayer who duly applies, for their loss carried forward of more than five tax periods if the tax payer fulfils requirements determined by an order of the Minister. The Ministerial order was published in the official gazette on 6 May 2018 indicating that a taxpayer may apply for losses to be carried forward more than five tax periods, subject to fulfilment of certain conditions. The deferred taxation asset recognised in CIMERWA is also affected by the maintenance of the existing shareholders. Any disposal of shares by the existing shareholders equal to or higher than 25% will result in the loss of the deferred taxation asset. The government of Rwanda have indicated a proposed sale of their 49% interest in CIMERWA. There has been no finalisation of the matter. An assessment of the conditions indicates that the CIMERWA deferred tax of R199 million (2018: R242 million) is recoverable. The PPC Barnet DRC Manufacturing deferred tax asset was assessed based on the DRC's tax laws applicable at 2019 year-end close. The assessment of the deferred tax recoverability was based on the subsidiary's approved business plans and compliance with DRC's tax laws and regulations, the recognised deferred taxation asset was assessed to be recoverable. PPC Aggregates Quarries Botswana's deferred tax asset recoverability assessment has taken into account the approved business plan and Botswana's applicable tax laws and regulations and based on the assessment, no impairment was recognised during the year. Pronto Building Materials' deferred tax assets recoverability assessment was based on applicable South African tax laws and the approved business plans and the assessment, no impairment was recognised during the year. 18.

The put option may be exercised after six years from when the IFC subscribed for the shares but only for a five-year period. The put option value was calculated using the DRC's forecast EBITDA applying an earning's multiple less net debt and then present valued. Following the valuation of the put option, no fair value adjustment has been recognised as the fair value is the same as the current carrying amount. Forecast EBITDA is based on financial forecasts approved by management, with pricing and margins similar to those currently being achieved by the business unit, albeit lower than in the prior year, while selling prices and costs are forecast to increase at local inflation projections and extrapolated using local GDP growth rates averaging 5% per annum (2018: 5%) taking cognisance of the plant production ramp-up and adjusted for the impact of competitor activity and political environment within the country and neighbouring countries. An EBITDA multiple of 7 times (2018: 7 times) was determined using comparison of publicly available information on other cement businesses operating in similar territories. The present value of the put option was calculated at R274 million (2018: R245 million). The increase in the liability follows the time value of money adjustments.

Methods and assumptions used by the group in determining fair values: * Level 1 - financial assets and liabilities that are valued accordingly to unadjusted market prices for similar assets and liabilities. Market prices in this instance are readily available and the price represents regularly occurring transactions which have been concluded on an arm's length transaction. * Level 2 - financial assets and liabilities are valued using observable inputs, other than the market prices noted in the level 1 methodology, and make reference to pricing of similar assets and liabilities in an active market or by utilising observable prices and market-related data. * Level 3 - financial assets and liabilities that are valued using unobservable data, and requires management judgement in determining the fair value. The estimated fair value of financial instruments is determined, at discrete points in time, by reference to the mid price in an active market wherever possible. Where no such active market exists for the particular asset or liability, the group uses valuation techniques to arrive at fair value, including the use of prices obtained in recent arm's length transactions, discounted cash flow analysis and other valuation techniques commonly used by market participants. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other financial receivables and trade and other financial payables approximate their respective carrying amounts of these financial instruments because of the short period to maturity. Where the short period to maturity is extended, the company then discounts the current carrying amount using the latest available borrowing rates against the expected maturity period. The PPC Zimbabwe financial asset (refer note 11) should be valued using RTGS forward curves, however, these are not available. As a result of there being no other similar available market data, the financial asset has been valued at the year-end US$:RTGS$ exchange rate and no further fair value adjustment has been recognised. The put option liability has been calculated using EBITDA forecasts prepared by management and discounted to present value. The fair value of derivative financial instruments relating to cash-settled share appreciation rights is determined with reference to valuation performed by third-party financial institutions at reporting date, using an actuarial binomial pricing model. This note has been refined from that reported in the prior period to only include financial instruments held at fair value.

EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE Business combination On 4 May 2019, Habesha Cement Share Company (Habesha), a cement manufacturing company incorporated in Ethiopia and currently accounted in the PPC group results as an investment in associate, granted PPC and Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) a right to appoint an additional board member. PPC and IDC have a 38% and 20% shareholding in Habesha respectively. PPC and IDC have signed a voting agreement, in terms of which they agreed to vote as a block on key matters pertaining to Habesha. Given PPC's technical knowledge and experience in the cement manufacturing industry and fact that PPC has significant shareholding in Habesha compared to IDC, it is likely that PPC will be a key decision-maker in terms of the voting agreement. Furthermore, PPC entered into an agreement with Habesha, in terms of which PPC is required to provide consulting and technical services. These services, among other include: - Consulting services - such as developing strategic direction and objectives, providing commercial guidance and aligning the policies and procedures of Habesha to those of PPC - Technical services - relating to finance, sales and marketing, treasury, human resources, legal and risk management Taking into account the two agreements, management believes that PPC has control over Habesha from 4 May 2019 and has the exposure to variable returns and ability to affect those returns. In terms of IAS 10, this is considered to be a non-adjusting post-balance sheet event as the meeting where the resolution was passed to give IDC and PPC a right to appoint an additional board member took place after the reporting period. The potential evidence of control therefore never existed at year-end. Effective from 4 May 2019, being the acquisition date, PPC will account for Habesha as a subsidiary and the financial results of Habesha will be consolidated into PPC group. PPC's share of profits will remain as 38%. IFRS 3, sets out the extensive disclosure required for a post-balance sheet event resulting in business combination but also allows non-disclosure in circumstances where certain financial information is not available. It should be noted that at the date of this report, the financial impact of this transaction has not be finalised as it is not practical to determine the amounts at the date of the report, and the applicable disclosure as required by IFRS 3 B64 paragraph (e) - (k) are not yet available. PPC will, within the next 12 months, as permitted by IFRS 3 finalise the financial impact of this transaction. A further update on this transaction will be disclosed in the September 2019 half-year results. Refinancing strategy Due to the expected liquidity constraints, in April 2019, the investment committee approved the engagement with the lenders for the funding facility package to be increased from R2,4 billion to R3.1 billion. This facility has been approved by the lenders and is considered to be a non-adjusting subsequent event in accordance with IAS 10. Movement in RTGS$:US$ rate At 31 March 2019, an official inter-bank rate of 3.01 between the USD and RTGS has been used in the translation of the Zimbabwe results following the change in functional currency. This rate has since deteriorated to 6,32 at 24 June 2019, the date of approval of the reviewed condensed consolidated financial statement. This rate was obtained from http://www.marketwatch.co.zw. For the sensitivty analysis on the RTGS$ rate refer note 1. There are no events that occurred after the reporting date, other than those listed above, that may have a material impact on the group's reported financial position at 31 March 2019. 24. CURRENCY CONVERSION GUIDE In preparing the financial statements of the subsidiary companies, transactions in currencies other than the entity's functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for exchange differences on foreign currency borrowings relating to assets under construction for future productive use, which are included in the cost of those assets when they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on those foreign currency borrowings.

OTHER DISCLOSURES Contingent liabilities and guarantees A PPC group supplier has instigated legal proceedings against the group for the possible damages relating to a contract. In terms of the contract, the supplier would provide certain services relating to sales and marketing. The total claim is estimated at R3 million. Management believes that the claim has no merit, and is currently contesting the matter in court. In accordance with IAS 37, no provision has been made in these financial statements. The total guarantees issued by the group, by means of a bank guarantee, in favour of the various suppliers was R102 million (2018: R102 million). Included in this amount are financial guarantees for the environmental rehabilitation and decommissioning obligations of the group to the DMR amounting to R76 million (2018: R76 million). 27.

Leadership and Governance Update: PPC Appoints Roland van Wijnen as Chief Executive Officer PPC Ltd (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (PPC or company or group) Company registration number: 1892/000667/06 JSE code: PPC JSE ISIN: ZAE 000170049 ZSE code: PPC JSE code: PPC003 JSE ISIN: ZAG000117524 LEADERSHIP AND GOVERNANCE UPDATE: PPC APPOINTS ROLAND VAN WIJNEN AS CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER (CEO) Following a global search, the Board of Directors of PPC Ltd is pleased to announce the appointment of Roland van Wijnen as Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The search for a new CEO to succeed Johan Claassen began last November when he announced he was taking early retirement from his position of CEO of PPC. “Considering the specialized nature of the industry, and its challenges, as soon as Johan decided to retire, the board began a process to identify a high calibre candidate, with extensive experience in leading cement companies in cyclical downturns and challenging markets,” said PPC Chairperson, Jabu Moleketi. “We are pleased to have secured Roland, a Dutch national, whose listed company experience and exposure to international global best practice will broaden the management practices of PPC. He is an ideal appointment as he already has a detailed knowledge of the cement sector. He is up-to-speed with our strategic imperatives and will advance the process without any delays.” VAN WIJNEN EXPERIENCE Van Wijnen was with Holcim, now LafargeHolcim, for 17 years during which time he held various senior leadership roles across the group. As CEO of the Philippines business, a public company, much the same size as PPC, he successfully dealt with similar challenges to those that PPC is facing. During his time, Holcim Philippines successfully implemented a new retail business model and a growth strategy to best serve customers and increase profitability. An Industrial Engineering graduate from Twente University, in the Netherlands, van Wijnen was CEO of certain of Holcim’s Eastern European businesses between 2005 and 2010 and also acted as CEO of Holcim’s global trading business before the Lafarge Holcim merger. Having done some work for Holcim in South Africa before the company moved its operations out of the region, he is familiar with the country. Van Wijnen said: "I am excited and honoured to have been appointed into this executive role at such iconic company that PPC is. PPC is currently undergoing strategic projects to ensure the long-term sustainability and viability of the Group, and I have been working on similar initiatives for the past decade. I am looking forward to starting my new role as CEO which will enable me to focus on the value and growth strategy of the Group. Our future will be defined by how well we deliver on our strategy of driving sustainable growth and maximising opportunities in order to realise the ambitions of our company and take us to the next level of success.” SUCCESSION PLANNING The PPC board recognizes that the foundation for succession planning is effective governance, based on defined core values and application principles that guide both governing and operating decisions and actions. To this end, the board has conducted a detailed evaluation of the executive bench, individual and collective skills of the leadership body and developed succession plans to align the leadership with the strategic needs of the firm going forward. During the next four years, the Board will work with Roland to fast-track and implement the company’s succession policy and strategy. Van Wijnen has signed a four-year contract and is expected to take over from Claassen as soon as he has received a work permit. He will be tasked with building and developing the executive team and jointly accelerating the process of turning PPC into a high-performance organization that offers superior products and solutions to customers throughout its leading positions across Africa. The board would like to thank Johan for his commitment, hard work, and loyalty to PPC, its shareholders, employees and customers. He has accomplished what he was set up to do - to renew the operational focus of the company and position the group for a period of consolidation. 26 June 2019 Sponsor Merrill Lynch South Africa (Pty) Limited PPC: Anashrin Pillay Head Investor Relations Tel: +27 (0) 11 386 9000 Financial Communications Advisor: Instinctif Partners Gift Dlamini Mobile: +27 11 050 7536 Date: 26/06/2019 01:30:00 Produced by the JSE SENS Department.

Update on Financial Reporting and Auditing Guidance in Zimbabwe and S&P Downgrade PPC Ltd (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Company registration number 1892/000667/06) JSE ISIN: ZAE000170049 JSE code: PPC ZSE code: PPC JSE code: PPC003 JSE ISIN: ZAG000117524 JSE code: PPC005 JSE ISIN: ZAG000117532 ("PPC" or "Company" or "Group") UPDATE ON FINANCIAL REPORTING AND AUDITING GUIDANCE IN ZIMBABWE AND S&P DOWNGRADE BACKGROUND Following the SENS announcement on 7 March 2019, PPC wishes to update investors on the accounting implications of the announcement by the Zimbabwe Public Accountants and Auditors Board (PAAB) on 21 March 2019 regarding currency changes in Zimbabwe. KEY ACCOUTNING CONSIDERATIONS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PPC GROUP The PAAB guidance was issued to highlight considerations auditors of financial statements would be required to make for reporting for periods commencing on or after 1 January 2018. By implication, acknowledgement that the functional currency of Zimbabwe businesses has changed to the Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) $, PPC has reviewed the guidance issued by the PAAB and the impact on the group is as follows: 1. PPC will consolidate PPC Zimbabwe according to IFRS with the effective date of the change in functional currency being 1 October 2018 2. The reported results of PPC Zimbabwe being consolidated in PPC Group as at 30 September 2018 remains unchanged. There will be no restatement of previously reported figures; 3. The reported results of PPC Zimbabwe being consolidated in PPC Group from 1 October 2018 will be based on prevailing commercial rates for the remainder of the 2019 financial year, ranging between 2.5 RTGS$ : 1 US$ to 3.5 RTGS$ : 1 US$; In terms of guidance and reference to March 2018 results, PPC Zimbabwe’s EBITDA in rands is expected to be within 5% to 15% of previously reported EBITDA for March 2018 of R573m. PPC will, for the 2019 Group financial results reporting, provide extensive financial statement disclosures with regard to the Zimbabwean business and the impact of the change in functional currency on the reported results. S&P GLOBAL RATINGS DOWNGRADE BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE On 22 March 2019, S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) downgraded PPC’s long - and short-term South African national scale corporate credit ratings from ‘zaA-/zaA-2’ to ‘zaBBB- /zaA-3’. The full report can be found at <a href="https://www.standardandpoors.com/en_US/web/guest/home" target="_blank">https://www.standardandpoors.com/en_US/web/guest/home</a>. The rationale for the downgrade was attributed to the announced changes to monetary policy in Zimbabwe and challenging domestic trading conditions. It is important to note that S&P has excluded the Zimbabwe operations in their assessment of PPC's financial profile, and will do so until there is more certainty on reporting and cash repatriation prospects. It should also be noted that PPC’s latest rating is still four rating levels above that of the ‘zaBB –’ rating on the national scale S&P ratings, when the company was downgraded in 2016. While they do acknowledge that the Zimbabwean business is will not require financial support from PPC group, we do believe that this approach is unduly punitive and not reflective of the economic reality of our business. PPC GROUP LIQUIDITY AND BALANCE SHEET POSITION The PPC group remains adequately capitalised with previously guided liquidity headroom of 15% being maintained. Furthermore, the maturity profile remains adequate and covenant levels are aligned to previously guided ranges as shown on page 12 of the Merrill Lynch presentation booklet: <a href="https://www.ppc.co.za/investors/presentations/financials.aspx" target="_blank">https://www.ppc.co.za/investors/presentations/financials.aspx</a>. Management is confident that the facilities in place are adequate to enable the group to navigate any volatility in the markets in which the company operates. As reported in the operational update on the 5 February 2019, group gross debt has remained at similar levels to that reported in September 2018. The downgrade does not trigger early repayment of debt, however the downgrade may impact PPC’s cost of debt in future. The information in this update has not been reviewed or reported on by the Company’s external auditors.

Update Regarding Changes to Monetary Policy in Zimbabwe PPC Ltd (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Company registration number 1892/000667/06) JSE ISIN: ZAE000170049 JSE code: PPC ZSE code: PPC JSE code: PPC002 JSE ISIN: ZAG000111212 JSE code: PPC003 JSE ISIN: ZAG000117524 JSE code: PPC005 JSE ISIN: ZAG000117532 ("PPC" or "Company" or "Group") PPC LTD – UPDATE REGARDING CHANGES TO MONETARY POLICY IN ZIMBABWE BACKGROUND The PPC Zimbabwe business has remained resilient despite the challenges experienced in the Zimbabwean economy in the last 12 months. The company has kept its pricing in line with inflationary increases in the economy and demand remains strong. Furthermore, EBITDA margins remain within the previously guided range of 30% - 35% for FY19. PPC Zimbabwe continues to follow a rigorous approach to liquidity management and cash preservation as highlighted in our update on 5 February 2019. Initiatives include: • 90% of input costs sourced locally, • Increasing exports to neighbouring countries, • Continuing with clinker imports from South Africa, • Shares purchases of PPC on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange On 20 February 2019, Zimbabwe’s Central Bank Governor John Mangudya announced that the Bank would be establishing an inter-bank foreign exchange market in Zimbabwe to formalise the trading of RTGS balances and bond notes with US dollars and other currencies. We view the introduction of a formalised floating foreign exchange market as a positive development toward curbing the high inflation and excessive premiums created by the parallel exchange rates. The exchange market should result in a more efficient allocation of foreign currency, removing the distortions that were impacting the market, and facilitate the repatriation of cash in the medium to long-term. KEY CONSIDERATIONS The key elements of the announcement issued on the 20 February 2019, are: 1. The RTGS (Real Time Gross Settlement) $ will become the functional currency in Zimbabwe, with the initial rate being 2.5 RTGS $:1 US$; 2. All foreign liabilities or legacy debts and declared dividends, will be treated separately after registering such transactions with the exchange control department of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe; and IMPLICATIONS FOR PPC GROUP BALANCE SHEET AND LIQUIDITY PPC has reviewed the monetary policy statement issued on the 20 February 2019. The impact on the group is as follows: 1. The functional reporting currency will be the RTGS $. A full impact assessment including systems alignment is underway; 2. The Public Accountants and Auditors Board (PAAB) is expected to pronounce on the impact of the monetary policy statement. In particular the determination of the effective date of conversion to the RTGS $ being October 2018 or February 2019; 3. PPC reported a cash balance of US$63m at the end of September 2018 which was reduced to US$60m by a debt repayment at the end of February 2019; 3.1. The initial rate of 2.5 RTGS $:1 US$ applies only to a portion of the US$60m cash balance, amounting to US$30m – US$35m; 3.2. The remaining balance including US$16m in dividends and US$5m rights offer proceeds, qualifies as legacy debt due to PPC RSA which is awaiting repatriation. In terms of group liquidity, PPC Zimbabwe is excluded from covenant calculations. LOOKING AHEAD PPC Zimbabwe’s maintains a good relationship with the Zimbabwean monetary authorities and will persist in engaging the regulators and monitoring developments. The business continues to implement strategies to protect its financial position and utilise regulatory channels to repatriate funds where possible. The information in this update has not been reviewed or reported on by the Company’s external auditors.

Operational Update for the Nine Months to December 2018 PPC Ltd (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Company registration number 1892/000667/06) JSE ISIN: ZAE000170049 JSE code: PPC ZSE code: PPC JSE code: PPC002 JSE ISIN: ZAG000111212 JSE code: PPC003 JSE ISIN: ZAG000117524 JSE code: PPC005 JSE ISIN: ZAG000117532 ("PPC" or "Company" or "Group") PPC LTD – OPERATIONAL UPDATE NINE MONTHS TO DEC 2018 SOUTHERN AFRICA CEMENT Despite difficult trading conditions, average cement prices in Southern African (including Botswana) increased by 1.0% - 2.0% for the period. Cement volumes were down 2.0% - 3.0% up to December 2018, against the backdrop of estimated market contraction of 4% - 5%. An uncharacteristically weak December retail segment and subdued construction activity contributed to the contraction. Total cement imports increased by 80% for January 2018 - November 2018 compared to the prior comparable period, with imports into Cape Town increasing by 48% to ~209,000 tonnes, although still substantially lower than the majority of imports into Durban which increased by 84%. The Western Cape, has seen a marginal recovery in volumes post the drought. Price increases of between 8% - 12% were implemented on the 15th January 2019 in certain regions. The “SURERANGE” product line continues to gain traction and has positioned PPC well against blended product and imports. The business continues to focus on achieving its R70/tonne profitability initiatives. MATERIAL BUSINESS The lime business has shown resilience in terms of profitability, whilst the aggregates and readymix business remains under pressure from a demand and pricing perspective. As stated previously the readymix business remains an important channel to market. REST OF AFRICA ZIMBABWE Volumes grew by low single digits compared to the prior year for the same period, due to operational challenges experienced in the third quarter of the financial year. Pricing has been aligned with local inflationary increases. Nonetheless, recent policy announcements regarding fuel price increases has placed consumers in Zimbabwe under strain. The impact of fuel increases and cost of living increases afforded to PPC Zimbabwe employees is expected to impact EBITDA margins by 1 – 2%. However, it is envisaged that cost saving measures will ensure that EBITDA margins remain within previously guided ranges. PPC Zimbabwe management is implementing a number of initiatives to mitigate the impact of inflation and liquidity constraints on the business and on the broader PPC Group. Liquidity management and cash preservation measures include: • Focus on local procurement, with 90% of input costs sourced locally • Increasing exports to neighbouring countries • Continuing clinker imports from South Africa • Share buy-back of PPC shares listed on the ZSE though subsidiary PPC Zimbabwe Limited. Despite the challenging trading environment, the Group remains positive about its operational strength and customer support for its brand. DRC In the DRC, PPC Barnet continues to operate in a challenging environment, impacted by the elections in December 2018, as infrastructure demand was still subdued. The business continues to execute on strategic plans to maximise EBITDA and free cash flow generation in order to minimize capital requirements from the centre. PPC is engaging with its lenders to re-structure the debt in the DRC and put in place a more sustainable capital structure. Rwanda In Rwanda, Cimerwa has improved its production output inline with expectations, post the debottlenecking of the plant. Increased capacity utilisation coupled with stable pricing has resulted in the 2nd half EBITDA performance to date exceeding that of the 1st half of the financial year. Ethiopia Habesha has been able to steadily increase market share toward its market share capacity of 10%, with capacity utilisation above 40% for the last 12 months. Further plant optimisation and efficiency improvements are required to get the plant to the target capacity utilisation. Political instability has detracted from the performance for the period, however management is responding by prioritizing plant optimisation and route to market strategies. PPC endeavours to have a controlling holding in the business, in order to consolidate Habesha going forward. GROUP BALANCE SHEET Group gross debt has been maintained at similar levels to those reported for September 2018. PPC is continuously pursuing avenues to optimise its capital structure and bolster its balance sheet. OUTLOOK In South Africa, PPC intends to maintain price increases implemented. The company is engaging the authorities with regard to imports to ensure industry sustainability and also market stabilisation. PPC Zimbabwe remains focused on cash preservation. In the DRC, the business continues to entrench route to market strategies to increase volumes and prices. In Rwanda, the Cimerwa business continues with business optimisation in order to achieve optimal capacity.

Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months ended 30 September 2018 PPC LTD (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) Company registration number: 1892/000667/06 JSE ISIN: ZAE000170049 JSE code: PPC ZSE code: PPC JSE code: PPC002 JSE ISIN: ZAG000111212 JSE code: PPC003 JSE ISIN: ZAG000117524 JSE code: PPC005 JSE ISIN: ZAG000117532 ("PPC" or "Company" or "Group") UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the six months ended 30 September 2018 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS - Group revenue increased 8% to R5,6 billion - Group reported EBITDA reduced by 13%, rest of Africa (RoA) +18% - Headline earnings per share increased 11% to 21 cents - Basic earnings per share up 5% to 21 cents - DRC contributed positive EBITDA of R60 million - Capex decreased by 27% - Cash on hand up 50% to R1,26 billion (March 2018: R836 million) - Cash tax reduced by 49% - Net movement in cash up significantly to R272 million (September 2017: outflow of R2 million) COMMENTARY Johan Claassen, CEO, said: "PPC has produced resilient results against a challenging South African environment. Our diversified portfolio has enabled the group to offset the weaker South African performance with robust growth in our rest of Africa (RoA) segment. In South Africa, a subdued consumer environment, a depressed construction market and higher fuel costs negatively impacted our cement and materials results for the period. We will implement price increases to achieve sustainable returns in excess of the group's cost of capital. In RoA, Zimbabwe delivered improved profitability against the backdrop of liquidity constraints. The DRC business contributed to both revenue and EBITDA in a market with muted growth and overcapacity. In Rwanda, we saw the benefits of the planned plant upgrade in the second quarter of the period, with record volumes being achieved in September 2018. Pleasingly, we continue to generate positive free cash flow, with debt and liquidity positions within targeted levels, albeit higher due to rand dollar exchange rate weakness. We continue to execute on our strategic priorities, in order to drive operational efficiencies and maintain our sustainable competitive advantage in the markets that we operate in. In addition, PPC has been successful in executing on its FOH - FOUR strategic priorities, with key focus areas being financial, operational and human capital. In particular, the company achieved R22/tonne in cost savings towards our initial R50/tonne profitability improvement target in SA cement. Furthermore, RSA debt was restructured together with renegotiating of funding agreements in Rwanda. The company also completed the first phase of head office restructuring". MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS IN THE PERIOD - SK9 commissioned for accounting purposes on 30 June 2018 - Launched new product range in August 2018 - First phase of Cimerwa (Rwanda) plant upgrade successfully completed - Positive free cash flow of R202 million achieved - DRC contributed positive EBITDA of R60 million - Net debt R4 billion (March 2018: R3,8 billion) GROUP PERFORMANCE Group revenue rose by 8% to R5 597 million (September 2017: R5 188 million), supported by total cement volumes increasing by 4% to approximately 3,1 million tonnes. Cost of sales increased by 16% to R4 494 million (September 2017: R3 859 million) compared with the previous year. The higher cost of sales was due to the DRC being fully accounted for in the period, which contributed R226 million and additional clinker imports and maintenance costs during the Cimerwa plant upgrade period of R33 million. Cost of sales was further impacted by additional expenditure related to phasing of kiln shutdowns and unplanned downtime in South Africa of R26 million and previously capitalised expenditure related to SK9 commissioning of R19 million. On a like-for-like basis, cost of sales was up 9%. Group overheads increased by 6%, mainly due to the DRC which contributed R47 million (September 2017: R13 million). On a like-for-like basis overheads were flat. Furthermore, overheads in cement southern Africa were down 1% due to head office restructuring. Group EBITDA reduced by 13% to R1 039 million (Sept 2017: R1 193 million) at an EBITDA margin of 19% (September 2017: 23%) largely due to a decreased contribution from the South African operations. Accounting for non-recurring items totalling R150 million (SK9 commissioning and downtime at South African plants of R78 million and Cimerwa R72 million), EBITDA would have been R1 189 million. Finance costs increased by 18% to R336 million (September 2017: R285 million). The DRC contributed R143 million to finance costs in the period - on a like-for-like basis finance costs reduced by 31%. The restructuring of RSA debt, at a lower effective interest rate of 9,5% (September 2017: 11,8%), contributed to the decrease in the like-for-like interest charge. Taxation contributed positively to the bottom line, with a credit of R9 million in the period (September 2017: R193 million expense). Cash and cash equivalents increased by R272 million (September 2017: outflow of R2 million), excluding positive movement in exchange rate of R149 million. An absorption in working capital of R110 million was offset by cash taxation paid reducing by 49% to R88 million (September 2017: R172 million) and capital investments in property, plant and equipment decreasing by 27% to R377 million (September 2017: R518 million). This resulted in positive free cash flow of R202 million achieved for the period. Group net debt has increased from R3 846 million in March 2018 to R3 979 million at the end of September 2018. This was due to the impact of rand dollar closing rates moving from R11,82 at the end of March 2018 to R14,15 at the end of September 2018. On a constant currency basis net debt reduced for the period. Net debt to EBITDA was 2,3x (March 2018: 2,0x) and is within targeted levels. CEMENT SOUTHERN AFRICA As part of the R50/tonne profitability initiatives, PPC introduced the "SURERANGE" in August 2018. The "SURERANGE" is a fit for purpose range of cement that broadens PPC's product offering and has been well received by the market. In southern Africa (including Botswana), cement volumes were down 3%. Volume declines were experienced in South Africa, against the backdrop of a challenging market - where both the consumer segment and construction industry came under severe pressure. Cement imports increased by 71% (albeit off a low base), with the majority of imported product received via Durban, and to a lesser extent Cape Town. Increased blender activity contributed to a competitive inland market. Realised average selling prices for southern Africa increased by 1% to 2%, as the business continued with its drive of increasing cement prices to recover operational costs. Overall, revenue for Cement Southern Africa reduced by 4%. We note that current period revenue excludes R74 million in income generated at SK9 during the testing phase, which is not recognised as revenue for accounting purposes. Cost of sales in Cement Southern Africa rose by 5%, which was due to phasing of kiln shutdowns and unplanned downtime at one of our major plants in the inland region which amounted to R26 million. Furthermore, cost of sales also included R19 million of previously capitalised costs related to SK9 commissioning. Variable delivered cost of sales rose by 4% on a rand/tonne basis. Distribution costs, which are the single largest contributor to variable costs, increased by 13% on a rand per tonne basis due to a significant rise in fuel prices. Fixed costs were well controlled in the period. The R22/tonne in profitability savings has enabled costs to be contained below inflation. The combination of a reduction in revenue and an increase in costs resulted in EBITDA margins contracting from 26% to 17%. The total impact of non-recurring items amounted to R78 million. After taking into account non-recurring items the like-for-like EBITDA margins are 19%. The R50/tonne profitability initiatives which have been increased to R70/tonne, the commissioning of SK9 on 30 June 2018 and the integration of Safika are expected to reduce operational costs going forward. Furthermore, a price increase was implemented in October 2018, in order to recoup increased operational costs. MATERIALS BUSINESS The materials business positions PPC as a leading materials solutions provider. The materials business delivered revenue growth of 7% to R1 107 million (September 2017: R1 036 million) and EBITDA of R100 million (September 2017: R108 million). Lime The lime division grew revenue by 5% to R409 million (September 2017: R390 million), with higher prices in certain products compensating for lower volumes. Lime has significant exposure to the steel and allied sectors, where volumes remain constrained. Lime's EBITDA contracted by 5% to R60 million (September 2017: R63 million), due to higher variable costs relating to maintenance and raw material inputs. Aggregates, ready-mix and fly ash This segment is a key cement channel to market, and delivered improved revenue growth of 8% to R698 million (September 2017: R646 million), supported by improved volumes in the aggregates and fly ash segments. EBITDA was however affected by pricing pressure (due to a competitive market), depressed construction industry demand and higher fuel costs. The ready-mix segment was most affected by these factors. Consequently, EBITDA reduced by 11% to R40 million (September 2017: R45 million). REST OF AFRICA CEMENT Revenue increased 36% to R1 718 million (September 2017: R1 259 million) on volume growth of over 34% (supported by robust volume growth in Zimbabwe and the positive contribution made by the DRC). Selling prices remained fairly stable. EBITDA grew by 18% to R499 million (September 2017: R422 million), and EBITDA margins contracted from 34% to 29%. Taking into account non-recurring items due to Cimerwa, EBITDA margins are within the guided range. Zimbabwe PPC Zimbabwe grew revenue by 31% to R1 077 million (September 2017: R820 million) on the back of strong volume growth of 28%. Successful implementation of our route to market strategy has enabled PPC to benefit from the upsurge in construction activity as consumers convert their monetary investments into fixed assets and growing government infrastructure expenditure. EBITDA grew 42% to R352 million (September 2017: R248 million), with corresponding margins improving from 30% to 33%. Acute forex shortages as well as liquidity constraints continue to hamper economic activity. PPC Zimbabwe is operationally self-sufficient and continues to drive local procurement and exports to reduce forex requirements. Furthermore, the company is continually looking to capitalise on sustainable acquisition opportunities in the value chain in country. Rwanda The Cimerwa results were impacted by the planned upgrade to debottleneck the plant and increase production output. Realised cement prices were at similar levels to last year. Cimerwa achieved revenue of R402 million (September 2017: R433 million) on the back of a 7% reduction in volumes, and EBITDA of R92 million (September 2017: R168 million), which was impacted by the cost of maintenance and clinker imports during the shutdown period. The benefits of phase 1 of the upgrade were seen towards the second quarter of the financial year - record volumes were achieved in September 2018. The outlook remains positive. The country is forecast to achieve GDP growth of at least 7% in 2018, supported by growth in the agriculture sector of the economy. Cimerwa remains well positioned to benefit from growth in the region, as evidenced by the company supplying to the flagship Bugesera airport project. DRC PPC Barnet continues to encounter challenging market conditions, characterised by overcapacity and muted cement demand due to political uncertainty. Route to market initiatives supported the company in achieving market share ranging between 25% and 30% for the period. Revenue of R240 million was achieved in the period, despite pricing remaining under pressure due to the competitive nature of the market. The benefits of right sizing the business and stringent cost control resulted in the business delivering EBITDA of R60 million (September 2017: R8 million) for the period, at a margin of 25%. Elections in the DRC are scheduled for December 2018. In the interim the country has projected GDP growth of 4,1%, primarily supported by mining activity. Ethiopia Despite being in ramp-up phase, Habesha delivered more than 300 000 tonnes for the period under review. The business performance was constrained by the political environment and heavy rainfall in the second quarter of the financial year resulting in a net loss of R19 million for the period. PPC remains optimistic about the prospects for Habesha given the economic outlook which remains positive. GDP growth is expected to average between 7% to 8% and is a good proxy for cement demand. Politically, the environment has stabilised with the appointment of a new prime minister. OUTLOOK The difficult trading conditions in South Africa are expected to persist in the second half of the financial year. The industry requires real cement price increases to recover operational cost increases. PPC will remain focused on implementing price increases to achieve sustainable returns in excess of the group's cost of capital, executing cost savings initiatives and ramping-up SK9 to drive efficiencies. In the DRC, the elections scheduled for December 2018 are a key milestone to unlock latent infrastructure demand, and PPC Barnet remains well positioned to take advantage of growth in that market. In Rwanda, Cimerwa is expected to produce an improved performance in the second half of the financial year, on the back of increased production output. Zimbabwe is expected to deliver a steady performance, supported by robust demand and an improved political environment. The political situation in Ethiopia, has also stabilised, with continued growth in cement demand. UPDATE ON GOVERNANCE AND LEADERSHIP MATTERS Following an evaluation of the leadership of the company, there have been several changes to the composition of the board to balance the need for change, while ensuring board and company stability going forward. Board composition While the skills, experience and demography of the board are reasonably balanced, the board anticipates making some adjustments in the near future to deepen the cement expertise on the non-executive bench. Sub-committees and composition The board has six standing committees through which it operates. Following the company's annual general meeting on 30 August 2018, the board decided to implement changes to improve the effectiveness of the sub-committees. The audit and risk and compliance committees were combined and the following non-executive directors were appointed to the committee: Mr Sehoole (Chairman), Ms Gobodo, Mr Naude and Ms Mkhondo. Furthermore, Advocate Gumbi was appointed as a member of the social ethics and transformation as well as the remuneration committees, and Ms Mkhondo as member of the investment committee. Strategy and succession planning Following the restructuring of the board, it became apparent that the company faced a set of near-term challenges and opportunities. To this end, the board has conducted a detailed evaluation of the executive bench, individual and collective skills of the leadership body and developed succession plans to align the leadership with the strategic needs of the firm going forward. During the period under review, the executive committee was restructured to achieve accountability geographically, and enhance the effectiveness of group services. In the course of this exercise, Johan Claassen expressed an interest to take early retirement. The company's policy makes provision for such circumstances, and accordingly the company has agreed to accommodate this request. The board has therefore initiated a process to find a new CEO. Johan is fully committed to the role of CEO until such time as a new CEO is found. The board would like to thank Johan for his commitment, hard work, and loyalty to PPC, its shareholders, employees and customers. Under Johan's leadership, PPC has built a strong customer-focused organisation. His industry expertise and relationships have been invaluable resources and he has served the company with courage during a challenging period. This was demonstrated by the delivery of its FOH - FOUR strategic priorities. The board will work closely with Johan to ensure a smooth transition, regardless of the length of time it takes to find a suitable replacement that will ensure long-term sustainability and value creation following a period of expansion in the rest of Africa.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at 30 September 2018 1. BASIS OF PREPARATION The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the provisions of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements for interim reports, and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa applicable to the interim financial results. The Listings Requirements require the condensed reports to be prepared in accordance with the framework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements of IFRS and the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Pronouncements as issued by Financial Reporting Standards Council, and contain the information required by IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements were derived in terms of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the supervision of MMT Ramano CA(SA), chief financial officer, and were approved by the board of directors on 22 November 2018. The directors take full responsibility for the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies and methods of computation used are consistent with those used in the preparation of the consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2018, except where the group has adopted new or revised accounting standards, amendments and interpretations, including the consequential amendment of those standards to other standards, which became effective during the period under review. New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations The group has adopted the following standards during the period: IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (refer note 22). IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (refer note 2). Six months Six months Twelve months ended ended ended 30 September 30 September 31 March 2018 2017 2018 Unaudited Unaudited Audited Rm Rm Rm 2. REVENUE Adoption of IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers IFRS 15 replaces IAS 11: Construction Contracts and IAS 18 Revenue. The standard requires entities to identify the separate performance obligations and allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract by reference to their relative standalone selling prices. The group's primary revenue is derived from the sale of cementitious goods and as a result the group also earns incidental transport revenue from delivering these goods to customers. The incidental transport revenue has always been included as part of revenue earned, however due to the adoption of IFRS 15, the aforementioned streams of revenue are two separate performance obligations, which are always met at the same time. The group has the following revenue streams, which is all recognised at a point in time: Revenue from the sale of cementitious goods(a) 4 886 4 603 9 095 Revenue from transportation services 711 585 1 176 Total revenue 5 597 5 188 10 271 Major goods and services per primary geographical markets Cementitious goods 4 886 4 603 9 095 Southern Africa 3 271 3 400 6 462 Rest of Africa 1 615 1 203 2 633 Transport revenue 711 585 1 176 Southern Africa 608 529 1 047 Rest of Africa 103 56 129 Timing of revenue recognition Revenue from the sale of cementitious goods and transport is recognised at the same time, upon delivery, as management considers it as the point the control of the goods is transferred to the customers and the delivery obligation is fulfilled. Payment of the transaction price is also payable immediately at this point. The impact of adopting IFRS 15, particularly with regard to the performance of the service obligations, resulted in revenue for the current period being overstated by R5 million (September 2017: R2 million; March 2018: Rnil). Due to this amount being insignificant in relation to the reported revenue of R5 597 million (September 2017: R5 188 million; March 2018: R10 271 million), management opted not to restate the prior reported results. (a) Cementitious goods include the sale of cement, readymix, limestone, clinker, ash and aggregates.

The recoverable amount was calculated based on the fair value less cost to sell methodology and assessed to be lower than the carrying value with an impairment of R165 million recorded. In addition, an impairment of R17 million was recognised on the intangible assets relating to one of the aggregate quarries in Botswana.

For details on capital commitments, refer note 21. In accordance with the requirements of IAS 36 Impairment of Assets, an impairment review was performed for all cash-generating units (CGUs) which showed indicators of potential impairment. Following this review, no impairment was recognised as the value in use of all these CGUs was greater than the carrying amount DRC impairment review PPC, in partnership with the Barnet Group and International Finance Corporation (IFC), completed the construction of a 1,2 million tonnes per annum integrated cement plant for approximately US$300 million in the DRC, near Kimpese in Kongo Central province in western DRC, 230km south-west of the capital Kinshasa. Over the past two years, there has been an increase in political uncertainty. The country planned to hold general elections in December 2017, but these have subsequently been rescheduled to December 2018. The pending elections have created uncertainty in the economy and most of the infrastructural projects have been put on hold. Given that IAS 36.33 (a) requires "projections to be based on reasonable and supportable assumptions", the economic and political uncertainty makes it difficult to make reliable long-term forecasts. The current carrying amount of the plant is deemed to approximate the recoverable value and as a result, management does not believe that a further impairment against the DRC property, plant and equipment is required for the period ended September 2018. IAS 36.9 requires an entity to assess, at the end of each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset (property, plant and equipment) may be impaired. An impairment indicator assessment and calculation of recoverable amount will also be performed at the next reporting date, 31 March 2019.

These investments are held to fund PPC's South African environmental obligations. VAT receivable The group incurred VAT during the construction of the plant in the DRC. During the prior reporting period, management received a letter from the DRC Finance Department which indicates that the VAT needs to be paid to PPC Barnet DRC on condition that the money is utilised for discharge of local suppliers and local salary obligations. The letter did not however state when the payments will be initiated. As a result of the uncertainty around the timing of receipt of the funds, the VAT receivable has been classified as non-current. During the period, a loss of R3 million (September 2017: R26 million; March 2018: R80 million) comprising the remeasurement following devaluations of the Congolese franc against the US dollar and a fair value adjustment relating to the discounting of the non-current VAT receivable was recorded and is reflected in fair value and foreign exchange gains/(losses) in the income statement (refer note 3). Refunds amounting to R12 million were received during the period. Investment in government bonds Represents government of Zimbabwe treasury bills carried at fair value. The initial face value of the treasury bills was US$706 831 (R8 million), repayable in three equal annual instalments from June 2017 to June 2019. In the current period an instalment of US$326 609 (September 2017: US$nil; March 2018: US$188 613) was received. Due to current liquidity constraints in Zimbabwe and uncertainty around receipt of the remaining instalment, the remaining value is still recognised as non-current. Long-term receivable When the plant in the DRC was being constructed, PPC Barnet DRC entered into an agreement whereby PPC and the local power corporation would build the necessary power facility to supply electricity. In terms of this agreement, the portion initially contributed by PPC would be repaid through electrical usage of the plant. When PPC pays the power corporation, a portion of the amount owing is withheld and offset against this non-current asset.

NON-CURRENT ASSETS HELD FOR SALE Assets classified as held for sale 41 39 34 In September 2015, the PPC Zimbabwe board approved the disposal of houses at its Colleen Bawn and Bulawayo factories which was anticipated to be finalised in 12 months. The disposal has been delayed due to the government processing of the sectional title deeds and is now anticipated to be completed during the second half of the financial year. No impairment loss was recognised on the initial reclassification as management concluded that the fair value (estimated based on market prices of similar properties) less costs to sell was higher than the current carrying amount. PPC Zimbabwe is included under the cement rest of Africa segment in the segmental analysis. The underlying assets are US dollar denominated and the increase follows the weakening of the rand against the US dollar. 13.

In the prior comparable period, PPC Zimbabwe's full cash and cash equivalents of R564 million were reflected as restricted. After due consideration, the prior period number has been restated to only reflect the funds included in the escrow account at September 2017 rather than the PPC Zimbabwe's full cash and cash equivalents as restricted cash and cash equivalents. There has been no change to the overall cash and cash equivalent position as recorded in the prior year. In accordance with the requirements of lenders to PPC Zimbabwe, PPC Zimbabwe is required to deposit funds in an escrow account which can only be used for the purposes of making capital and interest repayments on the loan. PPC Zimbabwe PPC Zimbabwe has cash and cash equivalents, net of restricted cash, of R896 million (September 2017: R510 million; March 2018: R466 million). The funds are freely available for use in Zimbabwe, but due to the current economic environment, the transfer of funds outside of the country is limited. In 2016, the Zimbabwe Central Bank through Exchange Control Operational Guide 8 (ECOGAD 8) introduced a foreign payments priority list that has to be followed when making foreign payments. Any foreign payment that is made is ranked based on the Central Bank prioritisation criteria and paid subject to the bank having adequate funds with its foreign correspondent banks. This has resulted in the delayed processing of payments of foreign telegraphic transfers. The delayed payments have resulted in an increase in the cash and cash equivalents balance and the foreign creditor balances compared to the prior period. Furthermore, included in PPC Zimbabwe's cash and cash equivalents are bond notes. Bond notes are debt instruments which have been disclosed under cash and cash equivalents as it meets the definition of cash and cash equivalents. In October 2018, the government of Zimbabwe indicated that all cash held in the bank will be converted to real-time gross settlement (RTGS). These RTGSs will only be usable in-country and are pegged at 1:1 with the US dollar. Also held in a form of RTGSs is R82 million due from the rights issue (concluded in September 2016) for PPC shares listed on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange. The amount receivable is reflected in cash and cash equivalents as it is considered freely available to PPC for use within Zimbabwe. The current liquidity issues in Zimbabwe have not allowed our Zimbabwe sponsors to facilitate the transfer of funds to South Africa. In light of the liquidity issues in Zimbabwe, the company continues to explore the most beneficial use of the funds while transfer to South Africa is not possible.

PPC has set up an environmental trust in South Africa to administer the local funding requirements of its decommissioning and rehabilitation obligations. Currently, there are no such regulations in the other jurisdictions in which the group operates for the creation of a rehabilitation trust fund. The investments in the trust fund are carried at fair value through profit or loss and amount to R137 million (September 2017: R129 million; March 2018: R134 million) (refer note 11). Post-retirement healthcare benefits Historically, qualifying employees were granted certain post-retirement healthcare benefits. The obligation for the employer to pay medical aid contributions after retirement is no longer part of the conditions of employment for new employees. A number of pensioners remain entitled to this benefit, the cost of which has been fully provided.

In terms of local legislation, taxation losses need to be utilised within five years from the initial year of assessment. This assessment involves significant judgement as it requires management to project available taxable profits over a five-year period. Management has relied on the same projections used in assessing impairments. At period end, and based on the approved business plans, the company considered it probable that these taxation losses will be offset against future taxable profits. In the current period, the assessment of the future recoverability of deferred taxation assets resulted in the deferred taxation asset not being impaired as the entities are expected to make taxable profits in the future. In March 2018, the assessment of the future recoverability of deferred taxation assets resulted in the deferred taxation assets being fully impaired at PPC Barnet DRC Trading and 3Q Mahuma Concrete totalling R54 million. Furthermore, in March 2018, an impairment of R6 million was recorded against PPC Aggregate Quarries Botswana. 18.

The put option may be exercised after six years from when the IFC subscribed for the shares in the DRC, but only for a five-year period. The put option value is based on a predefined formula using PPC Barnet DRC's forecast EBITDA applying an EBITDA multiple and then adjusting for net debt. Forecast EBITDA is based on financial forecasts approved by management, with pricing and margins similar to those currently being achieved by the business unit, albeit lower than in the prior year, while selling prices and costs are forecast to increase at local inflation projections and extrapolated using local GDP growth rates averaging 5% per annum taking cognisance of the plant production ramp-up and adjusted for the impact of competitor activity and political environment within the country and neighbouring countries. An EBITDA multiple of seven times was determined using comparison of publicly available information on other cement businesses operating in similar territories. The present value of the put option was calculated at R256 million (September 2017: R424 million; March 2018: R245 million). The increase in the liability during the period is due to the time value of money adjustment. Liability to non-controlling shareholder in subsidiary company Relates to US dollar denominated interest payable on initial equity contribution into the DRC group of companies by a non-controlling shareholder. The accruing of interest ceased in September 2015 and the amount payable will be repaid once the external funding of the DRC has been settled.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Adoption of IFRS 9: Financial Instruments IFRS 9 was issued in 2014 and replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 sets out new requirements for classification and measurement of financial instruments, which are driven by the business model objective and the contractual cash flow of the financial assets. While IAS 39 had different models of impairment for different financial instruments - IFRS 9 applies a single impairment model to all financial instruments. Impairment losses are recognised on initial recognition, and at each subsequent reporting period, even if the loss has not yet been incurred. The standard also provides new guidance for hedge accounting that is more aligned to the business's risk management. Transition The standard (IFRS 9) was effective from 1 January 2018, and was adopted by the group at the beginning of the period on 1 April 2018. The group has decided to adjust opening retained income for the impact of IFRS 9. This is in accordance with the transitional requirements of the standard. The transition resulted in a R17 million decrease in the opening retained income. Prior to IFRS 9, the group classified financial assets as: held-to-maturity investments, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets. That will now be classified either as financial assets at amortised cost, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and/or financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. The classification of financial liabilities shall remain the same. The table below illustrates the transitional impact to the classification (and consequently measurement) of the financial instruments: Financial assets IAS 39 Classification IFRS 9 Financial Instruments Trade receivables Loans and receivables Amortised cost Mark to market fair value hedge Fair value through profit or loss Fair value through profit or loss Long-term receivables Loans and receivables Amortised cost Unlisted collective investment Fair value through profit or loss Fair value through profit or loss Investment in government bonds Loans and receivables Amortised cost Cash and cash equivalents Loans and receivables Amortised cost Fair value of financial assets and liabilities The financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified into three categories as reflected below: Six months Six months Twelve months ended ended ended 30 September 30 September 31 March 2018 2017 2018 Unaudited Unaudited Audited Note Level * Rm Rm Rm Financial assets At amortised cost Mark to market hedges 13 1 - 24 1 At fair value through profit or loss Unlisted collective investments at fair value (held for trading) 11 2 137 129 134 Total financial assets 137 153 135 Level 1 - 24 1 Level 2 137 129 134 Financial liabilities At fair value through profit or loss Cash-settled share-based liability 19 2 1 1 2 Put option liabilities 19 3 256 424 245 Total financial liabilities 257 425 247 Level 2 1 1 2 Level 3 256 424 245 Methods and assumptions used by the group in determining fair values: * Level 1 - financial assets and liabilities that are valued accordingly to unadjusted market prices for similar assets and liabilities. Market prices in this instance are readily available and the price represents regularly occurring transactions which have been concluded on an arm's length transaction. * Level 2 - financial assets and liabilities are valued using observable inputs, other than the market prices noted in the level 1 methodology, and make reference to pricing of similar assets and liabilities in an active market or by utilising observable prices and market-related data. * Level 3 - financial assets and liabilities that are valued using unobservable data, and requires management judgement in determining the fair value. The estimated fair value of financial instruments is determined, at discrete points in time, by reference to the mid price in an active market wherever possible. Where no such active market exists for the particular asset or liability, the group uses valuation techniques to arrive at fair value, including the use of prices obtained in recent arm's length transactions, discounted cash flow analysis and other valuation techniques commonly used by market participants. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other financial receivables and trade and other financial payables approximate their respective carrying amounts of these financial instruments because of the short period to maturity. Where the short period to maturity is extended, the company then discounts the current carrying amounts using the latest available borrowing rates against the expected maturity period. The put option liability has been calculated using EBITDA forecasts prepared by management and discounted to present value. The fair value of derivative financial instruments relating to cash-settled share appreciation rights is determined with reference to valuation performed by third-party financial institutions at reporting date, using an actuarial binomial pricing model. Level 3 sensitivity analysis Financial instrument Increase/ Valuation Main decrease technique assumptions Rm Put option liabilities Earnings EBITDA and multiple net debt 29 If the key unobservable inputs to the valuation model, being estimated EBITDA and net debt, were 10% higher/lower while all the other variables were held constant, the carrying amount of the put option liabilities would decrease/increase by R29 million.

PPC management will also be participating in the RMB Morgan Stanley Big Five Investor Conference in Cape Town on Tuesday 25 September 2017 and Wednesday 26 September 2017, and has, in preparation for these events, posted an investor presentations on PPC’s website: <a href="https://www.ppc.co.za/investors/presentations/financials.aspx" target="_blank">https://www.ppc.co.za/investors/presentations/financials.aspx</a>. The investor presentation provides a brief operational update of PPC´s performance during the first five months of the financial year. Johan Claassen, CEO said: ”We are proud to be showcasing our company to investors, and the strides made towards achieving our FOH-FOUR strategic priorities. We have been able to maintain our market leading position in South Africa despite muted growth exacerbated by an increase in VAT impacting consumer spending and a deterioration in the domestic construction industry. The Rest of Africa portfolio continues to grow, in particular Zimbabwe where robust growth rates have been maintained.” Brief operational update – 5 months to August 2018 Effective selling prices in the Southern African (includes Botswana) cement business have risen by 3.0%. Sales volumes for the Southern Africa cement business have reduced by 3.0% - 4.0%. The reduction in sales volumes is attributable to the domestic construction industry being under severe pressure and muted growth across the operating portfolio, which has caused the South African cement industry volumes to decrease by an estimated 5.0% - 6.0% for the same period. PPC launched its new range of products called the “sure range” in August 2018. The fit for purpose cement product suite has been well received by the market, and has had a positive impact on volumes. In the Rest of Africa businesses, Zimbabwe has maintained its robust growth trajectory, with volume growth in excess of 35%. In Rwanda, market demand remains strong, with PPC tracking slightly lower than last year due to a planned maintenance shutdown earlier in the financial year to debottleneck and increase production output. DRC continues with its steady ramp-up, where we have delivered more than 130,000 tonnes. The DRC has produced positive EBITDA for the five months to August 2018. In Ethiopia, Habesha has delivered more than 300,000 tonnes for the period. Any financial information on which the presentation is based has not been reviewed or reported on by the Company´s auditors.
