ABOUT THIS REPORT

DETERMINING OUR MATERIAL MATTERS

The matters included in our integrated annual report are principally aimed at providers of financial capital in order to support their financial capital allocation assessments

The interests of the providers of financial capital are, however, largely aligned with other key stakeholders in that they also are focused on the creation of value in the long term.

In determining which matters are material for disclosure in our integrated annual report we have considered whether the matter substantively affects, or has the potential to substantively affect, our strategy, our business model or the forms of capital we utilise and ultimately our ability to create, preserve or erode value over the short, medium and long term.

REPORTING BOUNDARY AND SCOPE

This report provides a holistic yet deliberately succinct overview of Tsogo Sun Limited's ("Tsogo Sun") strategy and business model, material risks and associated opportunities, operational performance and Environmental, Social and Governance practices for the financial year ended 31 March 2023. The information included in this report relates to our activities at group level, and those of our operating subsidiaries. Both financial and non-financial data from subsidiaries is fully consolidated.

We assessed issues significantly impacting value creation and examined areas beyond financial reporting. This is to identify and address all risks and opportunities to our business, and the effects of our activities. In making these assessments, we considered short, medium and long-term implications.

Reporting frameworks

Our reporting process was guided by the principles and requirements in the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"); the International Framework, the King IV Report on Corporate GovernanceTM for South Africa, 2016 ("King IVTM")*; JSE Sustainability Disclosure Guidance, the JSE Listings Requirements, the JSE Debt Listings Requirements and the Companies Act of South Africa, 71 of 2008, as amended ("Companies Act"). We also provide extracts from the consolidated financial statements in this report.

The full set of consolidated financial statements is available on our website www.tsogosun.com/investors and also for inspection at the company's registered office at Palazzo Towers East,

BACKGROUND

CASINOS, HOTELS AND ENTERTAINMENT

The Casino division operates 14 casinos, hotels, a Theme Park, restaurants and other entertainment facilities. Significant focus is placed on the nature and quality of the facilities and experiences offered at each precinct.

The customer loyalty programme rewards customers with benefits and recognition.

OTHER GAMING

Galaxy Bingo

Galaxy Bingo offers gaming sites in six provinces, predominantly located at shopping centres at leased premises.

Loadshedding negatively impacted the operations at all the sites during the year. The effective shareholdings vary between 29% and 100% in the various sites. The majority of the machines are leased.

Our strategy and outlook

Environmental, social and governance

Administration

VSlots

VSlots offers LPMs in all provinces of the country, predominantly located in bars, restaurants, hotels and bookmaker sites. The operations performed well, despite the various challenges brought upon by loadshedding. Growth is achieved through the rollout of additional sites and the optimisation of existing sites in terms of location and product mix.

Tsogo Sun operates two online betting platforms, playTSOGO and bet.co.za. The websites are accessible via desktop or mobile, offering customers a unique online betting experience anywhere within South Africa.
