CHANGE TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS: RETIREMENT OF CHAIRPERSON AND APPOINTMENT OF CHAIRPERSON-DESIGNATE

In compliance with paragraph 3.59 of the JSE Limited ("JSE") Listings Requirements, the Board of Directors of Omnia ("the Board" or "the Directors") is pleased to announce the appointment of Ms Tina Eboka as Chairperson-designate. On 21 September 2022, Ms Eboka will succeed Mr Ralph Havenstein, who will be retiring from the Board following the Group's Annual General Meeting.

Ms Eboka has served as an Independent Non-executive Director of the Omnia Board for over six years and is a recognised and respected business leader. Her diverse experience extends across both the private and public sector, having served in various executive and non-executive roles across a number of industries. She holds a Master of Business Administration qualification and Bachelor of Science degrees in both Industrial and Textile Engineering from Philadelphia University as well as executive certificates from Harvard Business School and Georgetown University.

Mr Ralph Havenstein, Chairperson of Omnia Holdings, said: "It has been an honour for me to serve as a board member and, over the past three years, as Chairperson of the Group. Omnia has proven itself to be a resilient, innovative company with remarkable potential. On behalf of the Board, I want to wish Tina every success in her new role. Her wealth of leadership experience across a range of industries, deep knowledge and insights will undoubtedly serve her well in chairing the Board."

Mr Havenstein was appointed as Chairperson in mid-2019; a time when the company was initiating its turnaround plan and journey to financial recovery. Seelan Gobalsamy, CEO of Omnia Holdings, said: "Ralph has been an astute and dedicated leader, demonstrating incredible resolve and decisiveness. He has been instrumental in guiding Omnia through what has been one of the company's most trying and uncertain times. On behalf of the Board and management team at Omnia we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to him for his unwavering support over the years and wish him everything of the best.

I look forward to working with Tina to effectively steward Omnia into our new phase of growth. She is an influential and tenacious strategist with uncompromising integrity. Her appointment holds special meaning as the first African female appointed as Chairperson of the Board in Omnia's 69-year history. This bears testament to the Board's succession planning processes as well as the Group's commitment to furthering transformation and driving inclusivity across all areas of the business."

Tina Eboka, Omnia Chairperson-designate,said: "It has been my privilege to serve on the Board over the past six years and I thank Ralph for his steadfast support and guidance. Omnia has undergone significant transformation and is now well positioned to seek opportunities that will unlock growth and deliver further value for all stakeholders. I look forward to working with the Board and management team through the next exciting phase of the Group's development."

In addition to her current role as Chairperson-designate, Ms Eboka serves on the boards of TymeBank, TymeBank Holdings and Reunert Group.
