Of these, 65 541 154 PLC Ordinary Shares are held by Investec Limited exclusive of voting rights at the date of this announcement. The total number of voting rights in Investec plc is 630 541 464.  Investec Limited's issued capital consists of 290 464 999 ordinary shares of ZAR0.0002 each (LTD Ordinary Shares).

In accordance with the dual listed companies' structure, the aggregate minimum number of voting rights which therefore may be exercised at the AGMs was 885 792 429.

Votes withheld are not votes in law and have not been counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes 'for' or 'against' a resolution. Proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chair have been included in the 'for' total.

Submission of Resolutions passed at the AGMs

Copies of all resolutions passed as special business at the AGMs held on 06 August 2026, pursuant to Listing Rule 9.6.2, will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism

Board and Committee Changes

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

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

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