AND
UPDATE
Notice is hereby given to the shareholders of Grit that the Annual General
Meeting (“AGM”) will be held at 14h30 Mauritian time (10h30 United
Kingdom time) on Monday, 22 December 2025 at Unity Building, The Precinct,

with the last day to trade being Monday, 15 December 2025.
The Notice of AGM 2025 and the Form of Proxy were mailed to shareholders
or otherwise made available on Monday, 01 December 2025 and the Notice of
AGM 2025 is also available to view and download on the Company's website

In accordance with Listing Rule 6.4.1, copies of the documents have been
submitted to the Financial Conduct Authority and will shortly be available
for inspection from the National Storage Mechanism at 2 National Storage
Mechanism | FCA.
Board Changes
As announced on 18 June 2025, the change in financial year-end, coupled
with the significant recapitalisation initiatives underway across the
Group, has required the Board to reflect carefully on continuity of
leadership at this pivotal juncture.
Peter Todd will remain as Chairman until the publication of the Group’s
results for the 18-month period ending 31 December 2025, when he will step
down. This extended hand over period enables the Company to manage an
orderly and effective transition at a time when stability and continuity
are of paramount importance.
At the conclusion of this period and following publication of the results
on or before 30 April 2026, Peter Todd will hand over the role of Chairman
to Mr Nigel Nunoo, currently an Independent Non-Executive Director. Nigel
has been deeply engaged in the Group’s governance and strategic oversight,
and Grit is confident that this planned succession ensures clarity,
continuity, and a seamless transfer of responsibilities.
Additionally, Mr Cross Kgosidiile has informed the Board that he will not
stand for re-election at this AGM. The Board extends its sincere thanks to
Cross for his dedicated service and his valued contributions over the
years.
Following Mr Kgosidiile not offering himself for re-election, the Board
will comprise seven directors, of whom four are independent.
Mandatory Audit Rotation
As part of Grit’s ongoing commitment to robust governance and best
practice, the appointment of MacIntyre Hudson LLP (“MHA”), in association
with Baker Tilly International (“Baker Tilly”), as the Group’s external
auditors for the 2024/2025 financial year marked the conclusion of the
mandatory rotation of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, who had served as the
Group’s auditors since 2018.
This transition aligns with the expectations of both the UK and Mauritius
Codes of Corporate Governance. Shareholders will be asked to ratify the
re-appointment of MHA and Baker Tilly at the AGM.
As noted, earlier this year, the Group changed its accounting reference
date and financial year-end from 30 June to 31 December. This adjustment
ensures closer alignment between Grit’s reporting cycle and the
operational cadence of the Group and its subsidiaries, while also enabling
its new auditors to undertake a well-planned and efficient audit process.
As a result of this transition, no resolutions relating to the adoption of
financial statements are presented at this AGM. The next audited results
will cover the 18-month period ending 31 December 2025 and will be
published on or before 30 April 2026.
Outlook and Capital Allocation
The Group remains resolutely focused on accelerating debt reduction and
strengthening the balance sheet. Approximately US$200 million of non-core
assets have been identified for disposal, and Grit continues to engage in
negotiations on several key transactions.
The disposal of Artemis Curepipe Hospital, which was expected to complete
within FY2025 has been delayed, however buyer interest remains strong, and
the Investment Committee retains a high conviction on the successful
conclusion of this transaction. This will be in addition to the disposal
of the Tamassa Lux resort, which remains categorised as a non-core asset
held for sale. Proceeds from these disposals will further support the
Company’s deleveraging objectives.
Negotiations on the disposal of Grit's shareholding in Société Immobilière
et de Gestion Hôtelière du Cap Skirring, the owner of the Club Med Cap
Skirring resort in Casamance, Senegal is far progressed, and the Board
expects to make a regulatory announcement in this regard shortly.
At the time of writing, the disposal of Grit's 100% interest in VDE
Housing Estate in Tete Province, Mozambique was in its final stages. A
detailed regulatory announcement will be issued in the coming weeks.
As with the disposal of Grit's shareholding in the Club Med Cap Skirring
resort, the net proceeds from the VDE transaction will be applied towards
reducing debt.
Grit continues to engage proactively with its funding partners, who remain
supportive of the Company’s recapitalisation programme. Grit’s
interest-rate hedging remains active, prudent, and aligned to prevailing
market dynamics.
The consolidation of core assets into specialised substructures is gaining
momentum. This approach is designed to further simplify the operating
model, enhance strategic optionality, and attract co-investment at the
platform level, particularly from development finance institutions.
Alongside this, Grit’s ongoing operational streamlining, including
targeted outsourcing and the deployment of improved systems and
technology, continues to drive additional cost efficiencies.
