To participate in the Annual Meeting via electronic communication, holders of ordinary shares on the South African share register of the Company (a “shareholder”) or their duly appointed proxies must either i) register online using the online registration portal at www.smartagm.co.za; or ii) apply to Computershare, by delivering the duly completed electronic participation form, with their identification document or passport document, letter of representation and form of proxy (as applicable) to: First Floor, Rosebank Towers, 15 Biermann Avenue, Rosebank, 2196, or posting it to Private Bag X9000, Saxonwold, 2132 (at the risk of the shareholder), or sending it by email to proxy@computershare.co.za so as to be received by Computershare by no later than 2:30 p.m., South African time, on Monday, September 7, 2020. The electronic participation form can be found as an insert in the accompanying proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”).

Are there any matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting that are not included in this Proxy Statement?
At the date that this Proxy Statement went to press, we did not know of any matters to be properly presented at the Annual Meeting other than those referred to in this Proxy Statement. If other matters are properly presented at the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof for consideration, and you are a shareholder of record and have submitted a proxy card, the persons named in your proxy card will have the discretion to vote on those matters for you.
Why am I receiving these materials?

We have sent you this Proxy Statement because you are an ordinary shareholder or ADS holder of record and our Board of Directors is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Annual Meeting, including at any adjournments or postponements of the Annual Meeting.

We intend to mail this Proxy Statement on or about Tuesday, July 28, 2020, to all ordinary shareholders of record as of Friday, July 17, 2020. Materials for ADS holders of record, including this Proxy Statement, will be mailed following Monday, August 3, 2020, to all ADS holders, including banks, brokers and nominees, who are registered as holders of ADSs in the ADS register by 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on Friday, July 24, 2020 (the record date for ADS holders).

If I hold ADSs, how do my rights differ from those who hold ordinary shares?
ADS holders do not have the same rights as shareholders. South African law governs the rights of shareholders. The deposit agreement among the Company, the Depositary and the holders from time to time of ADSs issued thereunder, including the form of American depositary receipts, sets out the rights of ADS holders as well as the rights and obligations of the Depositary. Each ADS represents twenty-five ordinary shares. Each ADS also represents any other securities, cash or other property which may be held by the Depositary in respect of the depositary facility. The Depositary is the holder of the ordinary shares underlying

                            2



the ADSs. If you have queries about how you can deliver voting instructions to the Depositary, please contact the Depository, your broker, bank or nominee.
What does it mean if I receive more than one set of proxy materials?
It means that your shares or ADSs are held in more than one account on the South African share register, the records of the Depositary and/or with more than one broker, bank, other nominee or Central Securities Depository Participant (“CSDP”). Please vote all of your shares.
If you are an ADS holder
If you are an ADS holder, you may give voting instructions to the Depositary or your broker, bank or other nominee, as applicable, with respect to the ordinary shares underlying your ADSs. We have been informed by the Depositary that it has set the ADS record date for the Annual Meeting as Friday, July 24, 2020. If you held ADSs as of that date, you have the right to instruct the Depositary, if you held your ADSs directly, or the right to instruct your broker, bank or other nominee, if you held your ADSs through such intermediary, how to vote. So long as the Depositary receives your voting instructions by 12:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on Monday, August 31, 2020, it will, to the extent practicable and subject to South African law and the terms of the deposit agreement, vote the underlying ordinary shares as you instruct. If your ADSs are held through a broker, bank or other nominee, such intermediary will provide you with instructions on how you may give voting instructions with respect to the ordinary shares underlying your ADSs. Please check with your broker, bank or other nominee, as applicable, and carefully follow the voting procedures provided to you.
As an ADS holder, you will not be entitled to vote in person at the Annual Meeting. To the extent you provide the Depositary or your broker, bank or other nominee, as applicable, with voting instructions, the Depositary will vote the ordinary shares underlying your ADSs in accordance with your instructions.
You also may exercise the right to vote the ordinary shares underlying your ADSs by surrendering your ADSs and withdrawing the ordinary shares represented by your ADSs pursuant to the terms described in the deposit agreement. However, it is possible that you may not have sufficient time to withdraw your ordinary shares and vote them at the upcoming Annual Meeting as a holder of record of ordinary shares. ADS holders may incur additional costs associated with the surrender process.
If you are a shareholder
To ensure that all of your shares are voted, for each set of proxy materials, please complete and submit your form of proxy by lodging, posting, faxing or emailing the transfer secretaries of the Company, Computershare Investor Services Proprietary Limited, Rosebank Towers, 15 Biermann Avenue, Rosebank, Johannesburg, 2196, (Private Bag X9000, Saxonwold, 2132) or by email to proxy@computershare.co.za. Alternatively, to participate in the Annual Meeting via electronic communication, a shareholder or their duly appointed proxies must either i) register online using the online registration portal at www.smartagm.co.za; or ii) apply to Computershare, by delivering the duly completed electronic participation form, with their identification document or passport document, letter of representation and form of proxy (as applicable) to: First Floor, Rosebank Towers, 15 Biermann Avenue, Rosebank, 2196, or posting it to Private Bag X9000, Saxonwold, 2132 (at the risk of the shareholder), or sending it by email to proxy@computershare.co.za so as to be received by Computershare by no later than 2:30 p.m., South African time, on Monday, September 7, 2020. The virtual Annual Meeting ID is 169-120-808.
Shareholders are requested to furnish such forms of proxy to the transfer secretaries of the Company by no later than 2:30 p.m., South African time, on Monday, September 7, 2020, prior to the date of the Annual Meeting in order to allow for processing of the forms of proxy. Alternatively, the form of proxy may be submitted, per the above, at any time prior to the commencement of the Annual Meeting or prior to voting on any resolution proposed at the Annual Meeting.
Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?
The record date for shareholders entitled to receive notice of the Annual Meeting and any continuation, postponement or adjournment thereof, as determined by the Board is close of business on Friday, July 17, 2020. At the close of business on Friday, July 17, 2020, there were 547,201,847 of our shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. In accordance with the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited (the “JSE Listings Requirements”) the record date for shareholders who are entitled to participate in and vote at the Annual Meeting will be Friday, September 4, 2020. On the basis that voting at the Annual Meeting will be conducted by way of a poll, every shareholder present in person or by proxy shall have one vote for each share held on any matter presented to shareholders at the Annual Meeting.


                            3



In terms of section 62(3)(e) of the Companies Act, a shareholder who is entitled to participate and vote at the Annual Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy or two or more proxies to participate in and vote at the Annual Meeting in the place of the shareholder, by completing the form of proxy in accordance with the instructions set out therein. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.
Registered ADS holders will receive a proxy card and voting instructions from the Depository. Beneficial holders who hold their ADS through a bank, broker or nominee will receive their proxy card and voting instructions from such bank, broker or nominee. ADS holders will not be entitled to participate and vote at the Annual Meeting in person.
How many shareholders must be present to hold the Annual Meeting in order for there to be a quorum?
A quorum must be present at the Annual Meeting in order for any business to be transacted. In accordance with the NYSE rules, one or more shareholders holding at least one-third of our voting share capital of present in person, or by remote communication, or by proxy and entitled to vote at that meeting shall form a quorum. In addition, a quorum for the purposes of considering the resolutions to be proposed at the Annual Meeting shall consist of three shareholders of the Company, personally present (and if the shareholder is a body corporate, the representative of the body corporate), and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

If you sign and return your paper proxy card or authorize a proxy to vote electronically, your shares will be counted to determine whether we have a quorum even if you abstain or fail to vote as indicated in the proxy materials. Broker non-votes in respect of ADS holders, will also be considered present for the purpose of determining whether there is a quorum for the Annual Meeting.
What are “broker non-votes”?
A “broker non-vote” occurs when shares (or ADSs representing such shares) held in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a proposal because (1) the broker has not received voting instructions from the shareholder who beneficially owns the shares (or ADSs representing such shares) and (2) the broker lacks the authority to vote the shares (or ADSs representing such shares) at their discretion under applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”).
Under NYSE interpretations that govern broker non-votes in respect of ADS holders, we believe each of the proposals, other than Proposal Nos. 2 and 10, is considered a non-discretionary matter, and a broker will lack the authority to vote uninstructed shares at their discretion on the proposals, other than Proposal Nos. 2 and 10. Proposal No. 2 for the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche as our independent registered public accounting firm and Proposal No. 10 for the adoption, by ordinary resolution, of the IFRS AFS are considered discretionary matters, and a broker will be permitted to exercise its discretion to vote uninstructed shares on such proposals.
What if a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting?
Under our Memorandum of Incorporation, as amended, no business shall be transacted at the Annual Meeting unless a quorum of shareholders is present in person or by proxy at the time when the meeting proceeds to business. If a quorum is not present in person or by proxy within one hour of the scheduled time of the Annual Meeting, the Annual Meeting shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week, at the same time and place. If a quorum is not present or represented at the scheduled time for the adjourned Annual Meeting the shareholders present and entitled to vote at the adjourned Annual Meeting, present in person or by proxy shall form a quorum.
How do I vote my shares without participating in the Annual Meeting?
For ADS holders
You may vote as a holder of an interest in the capital of the Company represented by ADSs if you or your brokerage firm, bank or nominee is registered as an ADS holder in the register of the Depositary by 5 p.m., Eastern Time, on Friday, July 24, 2020 (the record date for ADS holders). So long as the Depositary receives your voting instructions by 12:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on Monday, August 31, 2020, it will, to the extent practicable and subject to South African law and the terms of the deposit agreement, vote the underlying ordinary shares as you instruct.
If you hold ADSs through a brokerage firm, bank or nominee on Friday, July 24, 2020, the materials for ADS holders, including the ADS proxy card, will be sent to that organization. The organization holding your account is considered the ADS holder of record. Please reach out to that organization to provide your voting instructions.

                            4



The Depositary will collate all votes properly submitted by ADS holders and submit a vote on behalf of all such ADS holders.

For shareholders
A shareholder of the Company entitled to participate and vote at the Annual Meeting is entitled to appoint one or more proxies (who need not be a shareholder of the Company) to participate, vote and speak in his/her stead. A form of proxy is attached for the convenience of any shareholder who cannot participate in Annual Meeting. Forms of proxy may also be obtained on request from the Company’s registered office.
The completed forms of proxy should be deposited at or posted to the office of the transfer secretaries of the Company, Computershare Investor Services Proprietary Limited, Rosebank Towers, 15 Biermann Avenue, Rosebank, Johannesburg, 2196 (Private Bag X9000, Saxonwold, 2132) or by email to proxy@computershare.co.za. Shareholders are requested to furnish such forms of proxy to the transfer secretaries of the Company by no later than Monday, September 7, 2020, by 2:30 p.m., South African time, prior to the date of the Annual Meeting in order to allow for processing of the forms of proxy. Alternatively, the form of proxy may be summited, per the above, at any time prior to the commencement of the Annual Meeting or prior to voting on any resolution proposed at the Annual Meeting. Any shareholder who completes and lodges a form of proxy will nevertheless be entitled to participate and vote in person at the Annual Meeting should the shareholder subsequently decide to do so.
Shareholders who have already dematerialized their shares through a CSDP or broker rather than through own-name registration and who wish to participate in the Annual Meeting must instruct their CSDP or broker to issue them with the necessary authority to participate.

Dematerialized shareholders, who have elected own-name registration in the sub-register through a CSDP and who are unable to participate but wish to vote at the Annual Meeting, should complete and lodge the attached form of proxy with the transfer secretaries of the Company.
Dematerialized shareholders who have not elected own-name registration in the sub-register through a CSDP and who are unable to participate but wish to vote at the Annual Meeting should timeously provide their CSDP or broker with their voting instructions in terms of the custody agreement entered into between the shareholder and his CSDP or broker.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Board Size and Structure
In accordance with our Memorandum of Incorporation, as amended, as currently in effect, the Board must comprise at least four directors and the maximum number of directors to serve on our Board is determined by our shareholders from time to time. Our Board currently consists of five non-executive directors and three executive directors.
Our Memorandum of Incorporation provides that at least one-third of the non-executive directors retire by rotation each year and stand for re-election at the Annual Meeting. The non-executive directors to retire in every year shall be those who have been longest in office since their last election, but as between persons who were elected as non-executive directors on the same day, those to retire shall, unless they otherwise agree among themselves, be determined by lot. Each director shall hold office until the expiration of their term or until their earlier death, resignation or removal. Generally, vacancies or newly created directorships on the Board will be filled by vote of a majority of the directors then in office.
Set forth below are the names and certain information for each member and nominee of our Board, as of July 28, 2020. The information presented includes each director and nominee’s principal occupation and business experience for the past five years, and the names of other public companies of which he has served as a director during the past five years. The information presented below regarding the specific experience, qualifications, attributes and skills of each director and nominee led our Nominations and Remuneration Committee and our Board to conclude that he should serve as a director and be nominated, to the extent applicable, for directorship at the 2020 Annual Meeting. In addition, we believe that each director and nominee possesses the attributes or characteristics which the Nominations and Remuneration Committee expects of each director. These attributes and characteristics are further described in “Corporate Governance - Director Nomination Process”. There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.
Current Directors and Terms
Our current directors and their terms are set forth below.

Nominees for Director
Mr. Bruyns and Mr. Jacobs have been nominated by the Board to stand for re-election. The current terms of service of Mr. Bruyns and Mr. Jacobs will expire at the Annual Meeting. If elected by the shareholders at the Annual Meeting, Mr. Bruyns and Mr. Jacobs will each serve for a term expiring at our annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2022 and 2023, respectively, or until his earlier death, resignation or removal.
Each person nominated for election has agreed to serve if elected, and management has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve. If, however, prior to the Annual Meeting, the Board should learn that any nominee will be unable to serve for any reason, the proxies that otherwise would have been voted for this nominee will be voted for a substitute nominee as selected by the Board. Alternatively, the proxies, at the Board’s discretion, may be voted for that fewer number of nominees as results from the inability of any nominee to serve. The Board has no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unable to serve.

The following pages contain certain biographical information as of July 28, 2020, for each nominee for director and each director whose term as a director will continue after the Annual Meeting, including all positions he or she holds, his or her principal occupation and business experience for the past five years, and the names of other publicly-held companies of which the director or nominee currently serves as a director or has served as a director during the past five years.
We believe that all of our directors and nominees display: personal and professional integrity; satisfactory levels of education and/or business experience; broad-based business acumen; an appropriate level of understanding of our business and its industry and other industries relevant to our business; the ability and willingness to devote adequate time to the work of our Board and its committees; skills and personality that complement those of our other directors that helps build a board that is effective, collegial and responsive

REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Appointment of External Auditor/Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
In terms of section 90 of the Companies Act, the JSE Listings Requirements and our Memorandum of Incorporation the Company shall appoint an external auditor/independent registered public accounting firm each year at its Annual Meeting. The Audit and Risk Committee nominates for appointment the external auditor/independent registered public accounting firm. In this regard, the Audit and Risk Committee evaluates the qualifications, performance and independence of our external auditor/independent registered public accounting firm and determines whether to re-engage our current firm. As part of its evaluation, the Audit and Risk Committee considers, among other factors, the quality and efficiency of the services provided by the firm, including the performance, technical expertise, industry knowledge and experience of the lead audit partner and the audit team assigned to our account; the suitability for appointment of the firm and the lead audit partner, the overall strength and reputation of the firm; the firm’s global capabilities relative to our business; and the firm’s knowledge of our operations. Deloitte & Touche has served as our external auditor/independent registered public accounting firm since fiscal year 2018. Neither the accounting firm nor any of its members has any direct or indirect financial interest in or any connection with us in any capacity other than as our auditors and providing audit and permissible non-audit related services. In addition, in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements the Audit and Risk Committee, have satisfied itself that Deloitte & Touche meet the independence requirements prescribed by section 94(8) of the Companies Act, and having assessed the suitability of Deloitte & Touche and James Welch in accordance with paragraph 3.84(g)(iii) of the JSE Listings Requirements, recommends that Deloitte & Touche be re-appointed as the external auditor/independent registered public accounting firm of the Company, with James Welch being the designated audit partner. Upon consideration of these and other factors, the Audit and Risk Committee has nominated Deloitte & Touche for appointment to serve as our external auditor/independent registered public accounting firm, together with James Welch as the lead audit partner, for the year ending March 31, 2021.
Even if the nomination is approved by shareholders, the Audit and Risk Committee, in its discretion, may select a different external auditor/independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in our best interests and in the best interests of our shareholders.
Representatives of Deloitte & Touche are expected to participate in the Annual Meeting and to have an opportunity to make a statement and be available to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders.

The formal written terms of reference for our Audit and Risk Committee requires that the Audit and Risk Committee, or the chairperson of the Audit and Risk Committee, pre-approve all audit services to be provided to us, whether provided by our principal auditor or other firms, and all other services (review, attest and non-audit) to be provided to us by our external auditor/

                            14



independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with our audit services pre-approval policy (as amended from time to time), other than de minimis non-audit services approved in accordance with applicable SEC rules.
The Audit and Risk Committee has adopted a pre-approval policy that sets forth the procedures and conditions pursuant to which audit and non-audit services proposed to be performed by our external auditor/independent registered public accounting firm may be pre-approved. This pre-approval policy generally provides that the Audit and Risk Committee will not engage an external auditor/independent registered public accounting firm to render any audit, audit-related, tax or permissible non-audit service unless the service is either (i) explicitly approved by the Audit and Risk Committee or (ii) entered into pursuant to the pre-approval policies and procedures described in the pre-approval policy. Unless a type of service to be provided by our external auditor/independent registered public accounting firm has received this latter general pre-approval under the pre-approval policy, it requires specific pre-approval by the Audit and Risk Committee.
On an annual basis, the Audit and Risk Committee reviews and generally pre-approves the services (and related fee levels or budgeted amounts) that may be provided by our external auditor/independent registered public accounting firm without first obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit and Risk Committee. The Audit and Risk Committee may revise the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations. Any member of the Audit and Risk Committee to whom the committee delegates authority to make pre-approval decisions must report any such pre-approval decisions to the Audit and Risk Committee at its next scheduled meeting. If circumstances arise where it becomes necessary to engage the external auditor/independent registered public accounting firm for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval categories or above the pre-approved amounts, the Audit and Risk Committee requires pre-approval for such additional services or such additional amounts.
The services provided to us by Deloitte & Touche in 2020 and 2019 were provided in accordance with our pre-approval policies and procedures, as applicable.

our share capital, reserves and working capital will be adequate for ordinary business purposes.

PROPOSAL NO. 4 AUTHORIZATION OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO RELATED AND INTER-RELATED COMPANIES
General
The Company would like the ability to provide financial assistance, in appropriate circumstances and if the need arises, in accordance with sections 44 and 45 of the Companies Act. This authority is necessary for us to provide financial assistance in appropriate circumstances. Under the Companies Act, we will, however, require the proposal (special resolution) referred to below to be adopted, and in the event of such a transaction, that our Board is satisfied that the terms under which the financial assistance proposed to be given are fair and reasonable and, immediately after providing the financial assistance, we would satisfy the solvency and liquidity test contemplated in the Companies Act. In the circumstances and in order to, inter alia, ensure that our subsidiaries and other related and inter-related companies and corporations have access to financing and/or financial backing from us (as opposed to banks), it is necessary to obtain the approval of shareholders, as set out in this proposal. Therefore, the reason for, and effect of, this proposal is to permit us to provide direct or indirect financial assistance (within the meaning attributed to that term in sections 44 and 45 of the Companies Act) to the entities referred to below.
Resolution
SPECIAL RESOLUTION NO. 2 AUTHORIZATION OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO RELATED AND INTER-RELATED COMPANIES
“Resolved, by special resolution of the shareholders, that to the extent required by the Companies Act, the Board of Directors of the Company may, subject to compliance with the requirements of the Company’s Memorandum of Incorporation, the Companies Act and the JSE Listings Requirements, each as presently constituted and as amended from time to time, authorize the Company to provide direct or indirect financial assistance, as contemplated in sections 44 and 45 of the Companies Act, by way of loans, guarantees, the provision of security or otherwise, to any of its present or future subsidiaries and/or any other company or corporation that is or becomes related or inter-related (as defined in the Companies Act) to the Company for any purpose or in connection with any matter provided for in terms of sections 44 and 45 of the Companies Act, such authority to endure for a period of two years after the adoption of this special resolution or until its renewal, whichever is the earliest, and further provided that inasmuch as the Company’s provision of financial assistance to its subsidiaries will at any and all times be in excess of one-tenth of 1% of the Company’s net worth, the Company hereby provides notice to its shareholders of that fact.”
Voting Required to Approve Proposal

                            18



PROPOSAL NO. 5 APPROVAL OF THE FEES PAYABLE TO NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS.
General
The reason for this proposal is to obtain shareholder approval by way of special resolution in accordance with section 66(9) of the Companies Act for the payment by us of remuneration to each of our non-executive directors for each non-executive director’s services as a non-executive director in the amounts set out under this proposal.
The fees payable to non-executive directors were last reviewed during 2019 and approved for a period of one year at the annual general meeting held on September 11, 2019. The fees are proposed and reviewed by the Nominations and Remuneration Committee and are determined with reference to various factors, including the current global economic climate caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, fees paid by comparable companies, the responsibilities taken by the non-executive directors and the importance attached to the retention and attraction of high-caliber individuals. The Nominations and Remuneration Committee considered all relevant factors and decided that there will be no increase in the proposed fees and that it will remain unchanged for this fiscal year.
The proposed fee of up to US$100 000 for a U.S. resident non-executive director is being proposed as we intend to appoint a further non-executive director to our Board, preferably a U.S. resident who will also be elected as a member of the Audit and Risk Committee.
We are cognizant of the disparity of the fees paid to South African non-executive directors and those paid to U.S. resident non-executive directors. The proposed fee is a maximum proposed fee that our Board may, at its discretion pay to any newly appointed non-executive director who is a resident of the United States, and the final amount that may be paid (up to a maximum of US$100,000) will be dependent of the skills, competence, qualifications and experience that a U.S. resident non-executive director, if appointed, will contribute to us. No additional fees will be payable to such U.S. resident non-executive director for committee membership or Chairpersonship.
Resolution
SPECIAL RESOLUTION NO. 3 APPROVAL OF THE FEES PAYABLE TO NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS
“Resolved, by special resolution of the shareholders, that the fees payable by the Company to non-executive directors for their services as directors (in terms of section 66 of the Companies Act) be and are hereby approved, which approval shall be valid until the next annual general meeting of the Company.”

PROPOSAL NO. 8 NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE THE COMPENSATION PAID TO THE COMPANY’S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.
General
The Board is committed to excellence in governance. As part of that commitment, and as required by Section 14A(a)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Board is providing the shareholders with an opportunity to provide an advisory vote related to the compensation of our named executive officers, commonly known as the “say-on-pay” proposal. The SEC say-on-pay vote generally covers the fiscal year prior to the date of the applicable proxy statement.
As described above, we have developed a Remuneration Policy that is designed to attract and retain key executives responsible for our success and motivate management to enhance long-term shareholder value. We believe our Remuneration Policy strikes an appropriate balance between the implementation of responsible, measured compensation practices and the effective provision of incentives for our named executive officers to exert their best efforts for our success.
Resolution
ORDINARY RESOLUTION NO. 5 NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE THE COMPENSATION PAID TO THE COMPANY’S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
“Resolved, by ordinary resolution of the shareholders, that the Company’s shareholders hereby approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Summary Compensation Table and the other compensation related tables and disclosure.”
Voting Required to Approve Proposal
The affirmative FOR vote of a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting, not counting abstentions.
As this vote is advisory, it will not be binding upon the Board or the Nominations and Remuneration Committee and neither our Board nor the Nominations and Remuneration Committee will be required to take any action as a result of the outcome of this vote. However, the Nominations and Remuneration Committee will carefully consider the outcome of this vote when considering future compensation policies.
Board Recommendation
Our Board unanimously recommends a vote FOR the approval of the compensation paid to our named executive officers under U.S. securities law requirements.


                            23



PROPOSAL NO. 9 NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF FUTURE SHAREHOLDER ADVISORY VOTES ON THE COMPENSATION PAID TO THE COMPANY’S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.
General
As part of the Board’s commitment to excellence in corporate governance, and as required by Section 14A(a)(2) of the Exchange Act, the Board is providing our shareholders with an opportunity to provide an advisory vote to determine whether the shareholder advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers should occur every one, two or three years. The South African say-on-pay vote described in Proposals 6 and 7 will continue to occur annually and is not affected in any way by this proposal.
We recommend that a non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in our proxy statement for our annual general meeting be held every year. We believe holding that vote every year is appropriate given that we are required to seek say-on-pay votes under South African law (see Proposals 6 and 7), which provides our shareholders a consistent and clear communication channel for shareholder concerns about our executive pay programs. In the future, we may determine that a less frequent advisory vote is appropriate, either in response to the vote of our shareholders on this Proposal 9 or for other reasons.
Voting Required to Approve Proposal
Shareholders are being asked to provide an advisory vote on whether the non-binding advisory vote on the approval of the compensation of the named executive officers should be held every one, two or three years. The approval of an alternative requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting. If none of the alternatives (one year, two years or three years) receive a majority vote, we will consider the alternative with the highest number of votes cast by shareholders to be the alternative that has been selected by shareholders.
As this vote is advisory, it will not be binding upon the Board and the Board may decide that it is in the best interest of our shareholders to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation more or less frequently than the frequency receiving the most votes cast by our shareholders. However, the Board will carefully consider the outcome of this vote when considering the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation.
Board Recommendation
Our Board recommends a vote to hold future votes on the approval of executive compensation every YEAR.


                            24

In support of this commitment, we endorse the principles and recommendations of the King Report on Corporate Governance, which is a booklet of guidelines for the governance structures and operation of companies in South Africa which was compiled when the Institute of Directors in South Africa asked retired Supreme Court of South Africa Judge Mervyn E. King to chair a committee, the King Committee on Corporate Governance.
Four reports have been issued: in 1994 (“King I”), 2002 (“King II”), 2009 (“King III”), and a fourth revision (“King IV”) in 2016. Compliance with King IV is a mandatory requirement for companies listed on the JSE. Unlike the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”), King IV is non-legislative and is based on principles and recommended practices. The underpinning philosophies of King IV consist of integrated thinking, seeing the organization as an integral part of society, stakeholder inclusivity and corporate citizenship. It views good corporate governance as the exercise of ethical and effective leadership by the Board towards the achievement of the following governance outcomes: ethical culture, good performance, effective control and legitimacy.
A register of the 17 King IV principles, indicating where the appropriate disclosure is made or where relevant policy documents are located in the public forum, can be found on our website located at www.mixtelematics.com. We confirm that we will continue to endorse the principles and recommendations under King IV and will continually report on our compliance at each fiscal year-end. Mechanisms and policies appropriate to our business have been established in keeping with this commitment to best practices of corporate governance and integrity, and to ensure compliance thereto. Further to this, we have a Code of Ethics and Conduct to which all employees have to subscribe and which is underpinned by our values of integrity, innovation, relationships and performance.
The Board assumes overall responsibility for compliance with applicable laws and regulations and adopted non-binding rules, codes and standards and has implemented a Group Compliance Risk Management Policy to ensure that we comply with all applicable laws and regulations and reinforces a compliance culture throughout the Company.
There has been nothing material that has come to the attention of the Board, indicating that we have not complied with the laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operated during the year, including with reference to the incorporation provisions as set out in the Companies Act; and has operated in conformity with the Company’s Memorandum of Incorporation. During the year under review, we have not paid any material fines for non-compliance with laws and regulations.

Board Charter
Our Board has adopted a Board Charter. The Board’s primary responsibilities are to create sustainable shareholder value and to provide effective governance over our affairs. The Company’s non-executive directors provide an independent perspective and complement the skills and experience of the executive directors, assessing strategy, financial plans, performance, resources, transformation, compliance, risk, key performance areas and conduct. A copy of our Board Charter can be found in the “Governance Documents - Board Charters” section of the “Investors Relations” page of our website located at www.mixtelematics.com, or by writing to our Company Secretary at our offices at Howick Close, Waterfall Park, Midrand, Johannesburg, South Africa 1686. Among the topics addressed in our Board Charter are:
Composition
Undertakings by directors
Induction of new directors
Period of office
Director remuneration
Role and responsibilities
Board committees
Delegation
Board meeting procedures
Disclosure and conflicts of interest
Indemnification and directors’ and officers’ insurance

Performance evaluations

Board Leadership Structure
The Board is the focal point and custodian of corporate governance for the Company. Board members are expected to act in the best interests of the Company, and the Company Secretary maintains a register of directors’ interests, as required by law. The Board appoints the Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer. The roles of the Chairperson and the President and Chief Executive Officer are distinct. As the current Chairperson is not considered independent from a JSE Listings Requirements perspective as well as from a King IV perspective, by virtue of his significant individual shareholding in the Company, a lead independent non-executive director has been appointed to provide leadership and advice to the Board, without detracting from the authority of the Chairman, when any actual or perceived conflict of interest may arise. Currently, Mr. Frew serves as the Chairperson and Mr. Joselowitz serves as the President and Chief Executive Officer. The Board believes our current leadership structure of President and Chief Executive Officer and Chairperson being held by two separate individuals is in our best interests and in the best interests of our shareholders and strikes the appropriate balance between the President and Chief Executive Officer’s responsibility for the strategic direction, day-to-day leadership and performance of our Company and the Chairperson of the Board’s responsibility to guide overall strategic direction of our Company and provide oversight of our corporate governance and guidance to our President and Chief Executive Officer and to set the agenda for and preside over Board meetings. We recognize that different leadership structures may be appropriate for companies in different situations and believe that no one structure is suitable for all companies. Accordingly, the Board will continue to periodically review our leadership structure and make such changes in the future as it deems appropriate and in our best interests and in the best interests of our shareholders.
At least one-third of the non-executive directors retire by rotation each year and stand for re-election at the annual general meeting, in accordance with the Memorandum of Incorporation. Directors’ appointments during the year are ratified at the annual general meeting. An executive committee is in place that is responsible for devising the Company strategy for recommendation to the Board and to implement the strategies and policies approved by the Board. The executive committee is also responsible for the day-to-day business and affairs of the Company.
There is a clear balance of power and authority at Board level to ensure that no one director has unfettered powers in decision making. All appointments to the Board are done in a formal, transparent manner and are a matter for the Board as a whole. The Board sets the parameters for the powers that are delegated to the executive committee and to management. The Board has developed an approvals framework, which delegates specific powers and delegations of authorities to the executive committee and operating management, and the approvals framework is updated at least annually, or when required. The Board is satisfied that the approvals framework contributes to role clarity and the effective exercise of authority. The Board has a succession plan in place for the members of the Board, as well as for the Chief Executive Officer, which is reviewed annually and is satisfied that the Company will continue to function effectively if there is ever a need to implement the plan.
Director Independence
Our Board must comply with the independence standards required by the NYSE, the principles of King IV and the JSE Listings Requirements. In addition, committee members are subject to any additional independence requirements that may be required by applicable law, regulation, King IV, the JSE Listings Requirements or NYSE listing standards.
In making its independence recommendations, the Nominations and Remuneration Committee evaluates the various commercial, charitable and employment transactions and relationships known to the committee that exist between us and our subsidiaries and the directors and the entities with which certain of our directors or members of their immediate families are, or have been, affiliated (including those identified through our annual directors’ questionnaires). Furthermore, the Nominations and Remuneration Committee discusses other relevant facts and circumstances regarding the nature of these transactions and relationships to determine whether other factors, regardless of the independence standards, might compromise a director’s independence. Based on its analysis, the Nominations and Remuneration Committee recommended, and the Board determined that, each of the following non-executive directors are independent under all applicable standards, including those applicable to committee service:
Richard Bruyns
Ian Jacobs
Fundiswa Roji-Maplanka
Fikile Futwa

Robin Frew, the chairman of the Board, is not considered independent from a JSE Listings Requirements as well as from a King IV perspective, by virtue of his significant individual shareholding in the Company. As a consequence, Richard Bruyns

                            32



has been appointed as a lead independent non-executive director has been appointed to provide leadership and advice to the Board, without detracting from the authority of the Chairperson, when any actual or perceived conflict of interest may arise.
The following non-executive directors have served on the Company’s Board for longer than nine years: Robin Frew and Richard Bruyns. The Company confirms that it has assessed the fulfillment of their duties and is satisfied that they continue to exercise objective judgment and that there is no interest, position, association or relationship which, when judged from the perspective of a reasonable and informed third party, is likely to influence unduly or cause bias in any decision-making.
Board Committees
In the execution of its duties, the Board is assisted by various committees to which specific responsibilities have been assigned. This delegation promotes independent judgment and assists with balancing power and with the effective discharge of the Board’s duties. The Committees operate in accordance with approved terms of reference (which are available on the Company’s website www.mixtelematics.com) and report to the Board on their activities. An informal evaluation on the Committees’ performance was conducted for the period under review. A formal evaluation of the Committees’ performance is performed on a bi-annual basis.
Our Board has established three committees to assist in the execution of its responsibilities: an Audit and Risk Committee, a Nominations and Remuneration Committee and a Social and Ethics Committee, each of which has the composition and the responsibilities described below. Each committee operates in accordance with approved terms of reference (a charter) and the performance of each committee is reviewed annually by our Board.

We have also established an Executive Committee that is responsible for devising our strategy for recommendation to our Board and to implement the strategies and policies approved by our Board. Our Executive Committee is also responsible for our day-to-day business and affairs. As of March 31, 2020, the current members of our Executive Committee were Stefan Joselowitz, John Granara, Charles Tasker, Paul Dell, Gert Pretorius and Catherine Lewis.

Audit and Risk Committee
Our Audit and Risk Committee assists our Board in matters relating to internal controls, financial reporting, external audit, internal audit, risk management and regulatory compliance. The Audit and Risk Committee operates under written terms of reference (a charter) that satisfies the applicable standards of the JSE, Companies Act, SEC and the NYSE. Our Audit and Risk Committee’s responsibilities include:
reviewing internal control systems developed by management;
evaluating the effectiveness of the internal audit process in terms of its scope, execution, coverage, independence, skills, performance and position within the organization;
reviewing internal controls over financial reporting, which include disclosure controls and procedures;
evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control frameworks and reviewing whether recommendations made by the external and internal auditors and advisers have been implemented;
considering the security of our computer systems and evaluating contingency plans in the event of systems breakdowns and disasters;
annually recommending the appointment of a registered and independent external auditor and determining the scope of engagement, fees and considering their independence;
overseeing the financial reporting process and reviewing the quarterly results announcements, interim financial statements, annual financial statements, the annual report, SEC filings including the Form 10-K, preliminary announcements and special documents prior to release;

                            33



reviewing, with management and the external auditor, the financial statements, key accounting policies, practices and estimates, any changes to accounting policies and estimates and judgements, significant adjustments, unadjusted differences and any disagreements;
reviewing processes to ensure that reliable and efficient risk management strategies (including a combined assurance model), policies and risk insurance programs are in place; and
reviewing the process for monitoring compliance with laws and regulations, including the King IV Report on Corporate Governance in South Africa.

Members of our Audit and Risk Committee consist only of non-executive directors, each of whom is expected to be financially literate and at least one member is required to have expertise in financial reporting. Since our listing on the NYSE our Audit and Risk Committee has been comprised solely of independent board members within the meaning of SEC and NYSE rules for purposes of the audit committee. This composition is also in accordance with the Companies Act and JSE Listings Requirements. A representative from both the outsourced internal audit function and the external auditors attend meetings. The Chairperson of the Social and Ethics Committee is also a member of the Audit and Risk Committee due to the close working relationship required between the two committees. The Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Executive Officer attend all meetings by invitation. The committee met 8 times this year (2 meetings of which focused on risk management). As of March 31, 2020, the members of our Audit and Risk Committee were Fundiswa Roji-Maplanka (Chairperson), Fikile Futwa and Richard Bruyns. The Board has determined that each of our Audit and Risk Committee members meet the requirements for financial literacy under the applicable NYSE listings standards and SEC regulations and that Fundiswa Roji-Maplanka has accounting or related financial management expertise under the NYSE listing standards. As we only recently became a domestic filer, we are still in the process of appointing an audit committee financial expert as defined by Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K, which appointment will be made before the 2022 fiscal year.
Nominations and Remuneration Committee
The nominations committee and the remuneration (compensation) committee have been combined into one Nominations and Remuneration Committee.
Our Nominations and Remuneration Committee is responsible for, among other things:
overseeing that our remuneration strategy is market-related, competitive and business relevant in order to attract, retain and motivate diverse talent required to drive the desired behavior;
reviewing and approving our Remuneration Policy and Implementation Report, based on principles of fair, responsible and transparent remuneration and as required by the King IV Report on Corporate Governance in South Africa;
attending to the remuneration and benefits of senior executives and executive directors;
advising on non-executive directors’ fees and fees for those directors who are members of Board committees, which are approved by shareholders at the annual general meeting;
advising on senior executive and executive director appointments;
reviewing succession planning at the executive level;
confirming the share incentive plan and the allocation of awards under the plan; and
selecting and recommending candidates for appointment to our Board.

The committee meets at least four times a year. As of March 31, 2020, the members of our Nominations and Remuneration Committee were Richard Bruyns (Chairperson), Robin Frew and Ian Jacobs. Our Nominations and Remuneration Committee is composed solely of independent directors within the meaning of SEC and NYSE rules of independence. The Chief Executive Officer is invited to attend all meetings.
Social and Ethics Committee
In accordance with the Companies Act, we established this committee in fiscal year 2012. Our Social and Ethics Committee monitors our activities, particularly with respect to any relevant legislation, other legal requirements or prevailing codes of best practice, regarding matters relating to:
social and economic development, including our standing in terms of the goals and purposes of: (a) the ten principles set out in the United Nations Global Compact Principles; (b) the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recommendations regarding corruption; (c) the South African Employment Equity Act; and (d) the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act;
good corporate citizenship;
the environment, health and public safety, including the impact of our activities, products and services;

labor and employment, including our standing in terms of the International Labor Organization Protocol on decent work and working conditions, our employment relationships and our contribution toward the educational development of our employees.

The committee meets at least three times a year. As of March 31, 2020, the members of our Social and Ethics Committee were the following non-executive directors: Fikile Futwa (Chairperson), Richard Bruyns and Fundiswa Roji-Maplanka (non-executive directors) and John Granara (the executive director appointed to the committee as recommended under King IV). The Chief Executive Officer is invited to attend all meetings.

Executive Sessions
Executive sessions, which are meetings of the non-management members of the Board, are regularly scheduled throughout the year. In addition, at least twice a year, the independent directors meet in a private session that excludes management and any non-independent directors. At each of these meetings, the non-management and independent directors in attendance, as applicable, determine which member will preside at such session.
Director Attendance at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders
We do not have a formal policy regarding the attendance of our Board members at our annual meetings of shareholders, but we expect all directors to make every effort to attend any meeting of shareholders.

Director Nominations Process
Directors are appointed on the basis of skill, experience and their contribution and impact on the Company’s activities. MiX recognizes and embraces the benefits of having a diverse Board, and sees increasing diversity at Board level as an essential element in maintaining a competitive advantage. A truly diverse Board will include and make good use of differences in the skills, regional and industry experience, background, race, gender and other distinctions between directors. These differences will be considered in determining the optimum composition of the Board and when possible, will be balanced appropriately.
The Board is satisfied that the current composition reflects the appropriate mix of knowledge, skills, experience, diversity and independence. The Board decides on the appointment of directors based on recommendations from the Nominations and Remuneration Committee. The Nominations and Remuneration Committee annually discusses and agrees all measurable objectives for achieving diversity on the Board and recommends them to the Board for adoption. At any given time, the Board may seek to improve one or more aspects of its diversity and measure progress accordingly. At the date of adoption of the Board Diversification Policy, the Board’s aim was to ensure that at least 10% of the Board was made up of women by the end of the 2018 fiscal year and for that position to exceed 20% by the end of the 2020 fiscal year. The Board also aimed to ensure that at least 20% of the Board was made up of black South African individuals by the end of the 2020 fiscal year. In line with the Board Diversification Policy, the Board attained and improved on the aforementioned targets.
In terms of the Company’s Board Evaluation Policy, the Board evaluates its own performance and that of its committees, its Chairperson and its individual members, to support continued improvement in its performance and effectiveness. A formal evaluation is conducted every second year. A description of the formal evaluations undertaken and an overview of the results and remedial actions taken, if any, are disclosed in the Nominations and Remuneration Committee Report contained in this Proxy Statement.
The Board has a succession plan in place for the members of the Board, as well as for the Chief Executive Officer, which is reviewed annually and is satisfied that the Company will continue to function effectively if there is ever a need to implement the plan.
The Nominations and Remuneration Committee will consider director candidates recommended by shareholders, and such candidates will be considered and evaluated under the same criteria described above. Any recommendation submitted to us should be in writing and should include any supporting material the shareholder considers appropriate in support of that recommendation, but must include information that would be required under the rules of the SEC to be included in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the election of such candidate and a written consent of the candidate to serve as one of our directors if elected. Shareholders wishing to propose a candidate for consideration may do so by submitting the above information to the attention of our Company Secretary, MiX Telematics Limited, Matrix Corner, Howick Close, Waterfall Park, Midrand, Johannesburg, South Africa, 1686. All recommendations for nominations received by our Company Secretary that satisfy the requirements under the rules of the SEC relating to such director nominations will be presented to the Nominations and Remuneration Committee for its consideration. For additional information, regarding shareholder proposals, see “Shareholder Proposals and Director Nominations”.
Board Role in Risk Oversight
Our Board has the overall responsibility for risk oversight, including, as part of regular Board and committee meetings, general oversight of executives’ management of risks relevant to us. A fundamental part of risk oversight is not only understanding the material risks a company faces and the steps management is taking to manage those risks, but also understanding what level of risk is appropriate for us. The involvement of our Board in reviewing our business strategy is an integral aspect of the Board’s assessment of management’s tolerance for risk and its determination of what constitutes an appropriate level of risk for us. While the full Board has overall responsibility for risk oversight, it is supported in this function by its Audit and Risk Committee and the Nominations and Remuneration Committee. Each of the committees regularly reports to the Board.
The Audit and Risk Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its risk oversight responsibilities by periodically reviewing our accounting, reporting and financial practices, including the integrity of our financial statements, the surveillance of administrative and financial controls, our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and our enterprise risk management program. Through its regular meetings with management, including the finance, legal, internal audit, tax, compliance, and information technology functions, the Audit and Risk Committee reviews and discusses significant areas of our business and summarizes for the Board areas of risk and the appropriate mitigating factors. The Nominations and Remuneration Committee assists the Board by overseeing and evaluating risks related to our compensation structure and compensation programs, including the formulation, administration and regulatory compliance with respect to compensation matters, and coordinating, along with the Board’s Chairperson, succession planning discussions. The Nominations and Remuneration Committee assists the Board by overseeing and evaluating programs and risks associated with Board organization, membership and structure, and corporate governance. In addition, our Board receives periodic detailed operating performance reviews from management.

Company Secretary
The company secretarial function is outsourced to Statucor Proprietary Limited (“Statucor”).
The Board has considered the competence, qualifications and experience of the individual at Statucor who is responsible for the performance of all company secretarial duties to the Company and is satisfied that the individual from Statucor has the necessary qualifications and skills to undertake the role. Furthermore, the Board is satisfied that an arm’s length relationship was maintained at all times with this individual.
The Company Secretary provides the Board as a whole, and directors individually, with detailed guidance on discharging their responsibilities. The Company Secretary ensures that proceedings and affairs of the Board are properly administered in accordance with pertinent laws and regulations and in compliance with the JSE Listings Requirements and NYSE rules.
Code of Ethics and Conduct
We have adopted a code of ethics and conduct (the “Code of Conduct”), which must be read in conjunction with the Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy and Whistleblower Policy, that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions. The principles of the Code of Conduct include integrity, competence, responsibility, accountability, fairness and transparency in achieving our strategy and leadership of the Company. These ethical characteristics are considered during the Board evaluations of each director. A copy of our Code of Conduct is available under the Governance section of the Investor Relations page of our website located at www.mixtelematics.com, or by writing to our Company Secretary at our offices at Matrix Corner, Howick Close, Waterfall Park, Midrand, Johannesburg, South Africa, 1686. We intend to make any legally required disclosures regarding amendments to, or waivers of, provisions of our Code of Conduct on our website rather than by filing a Current Report on Form 8-K.

We intend to disclose on our website any amendment to, or waiver from, a provision of our Code of Conduct that applies to directors and executive officers and that is required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules of the SEC and the NYSE.
Insider Trading Policy
Our Board has adopted an Insider Trading Policy, which applies to all of our directors, officers and employees as well as to members of their families and others living in their households. The policy prohibits our directors, officers and employees from (i) engaging in transactions involving Company securities at any time while in possession of material information that has not yet been publicly released, or during a restricted / closed period; and/or (ii) engaging in hedging or monetization transactions, such as zero-cost collars and forward sale contracts; short sales; and transactions in publicly traded options, such as puts, calls and other derivatives involving our equity securities.
Communications with the Board
Any shareholder or any other interested party who desires to communicate with our Board, our non-executive directors or any specified individual director, may do so by directing such correspondence to the attention of our Company Secretary, MiX Telematics Limited, Howick Close, Waterfall Park, Midrand, Johannesburg, South Africa, 1686 or by email to company.secretary@mixtelematics.com. Our Company Secretary will forward the communication to the appropriate director or directors as appropriate.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Overview
For purposes of Executive Compensation, the Company’s named executive officers (the “NEOs”) are determined under rules prescribed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a smaller reporting company (“SRC”) as noted below. We qualify as a SRC under SEC rules. As such, we may elect to omit certain disclosures that are not required under the reporting requirements for SRCs, including providing compensation disclosure and analysis under Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K, compensation committee interlocks and insider participation disclosure under Item 407(e)(4) of Regulation S-K and the compensation committee report under Item 407(e)(5) of Regulation S-K (collectively, the “Exempt Disclosures”).

This section discusses the material components of the executive program for our executive officers who are named in the “2020 Summary Compensation Table” below. In fiscal ended March 31, 2020, our “named executive officers” and their positions were as follows:
Stefan Joselowitz, President and Chief Executive Officer;
Charles Tasker, Chief Operating Officer; and
John Granara, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

The Company believes significant milestones in a number of key areas (as described below) were achieved as well as significant successes in overall business development. These results were largely driven by a small team of senior management led by Stefan Joselowitz, our Chief Executive Officer, Charles Tasker, our Chief Operating Officer, and John Granara, our Chief Financial Officer, who joined the organization in July 2019. The Company reported solid financial results in both fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2020 and also achieved various significant milestones in a number of key areas. The strong efforts by senior management in 2019 helped drive successful results in fiscal 2020 and therefore certain financial information about both years is included below (as well as to provide disclosure we have historically provided to comply with the JSE Listings Requirements).
The Nominations and Remuneration Committee sought to reward these individuals for our achievements during 2020 and its compensation decisions for 2020 reflect the committee’s desire to recognize the achievement of goals intended to increase shareholder value, while enhancing the retention of key executives who drive this performance.

Our named executive officers hold various types of incentive equity compensation including stock appreciation rights, retention shares (units), performance shares (units), and options to purchase shares pursuant to the MiX Telematics Limited Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) which is described in detail below. No share options were granted to the named executive officers during fiscal 2020. In fiscal 2020, the named executive officers were granted stock appreciation rights and performance shares (units) as set forth in the tables below.

(1) The stock appreciation rights were granted on August 5, 2019 and will time-vest in 25% tranches beginning on the second anniversary of the grant date subject to the executive’s continued employment, provided, however, that the grant is also subject to a performance based condition that a minimum total shareholder return of 10% must be achieved prior to date that the grant expires. These share appreciation rights will expire if the performance conditions are not achieved by August 5, 2025.
(2) These PSUs were granted on July 30, 2019 and were subject to time and performance based vesting requiring Company achievement of both a cumulative subscription revenue of $200 million as well as a cumulative Adjusted EBITDA of $74 million for both fiscal years 2019 and 2020. As these targets were not achieved, the PSUs will be cancelled subsequent to year end. For purposes of this table, the targets have been converted from R3,588 million and R1,322 million, respectively, based on the South African Rand/U.S. dollar exchange rate in effect as of March 31, 2020 (R17.9224/$1).

Other Elements of Compensation
Retirement Plans
It is our policy to provide retirement benefits to all our South African, United Kingdom, United States, Brazilian, Romanian and Australian employees.
All these retirement benefits are defined contribution plans and are held in separate trustee-administered funds. These plans are funded by members as well as company contributions. The South African plan is subject to the Pension Funds Act of 1956, the U.K. plan is subject to the United Kingdom Pensions Act 2008, and the Australian plan is subject to the Superannuation Guarantee Administration Act of 1992. In Brazil, the Group contributes to a mandatory state social contribution plan known as Regime Geral de Previdência Social. In Romania there is a mandatory social security contribution paid to the state budget, as defined by the Pension Law (Law 263/2010) and the Fiscal Code (Law 227/2015). For the United States employees, including the NEOs above, a voluntary Internal Revenue Service section 401(k) tax-deferred defined contribution scheme is offered.

(1)  The stock awards comprise SARs and PSUs granted to the NEOs.
(2) The SARs will time vest in 25% tranches beginning on the second anniversary of the grant date subject to the executive’s continued employment, provided, however, that the grant is also subject to a performance based condition that a minimum total shareholder return of 10% must be achieved prior to the date that the grant expires. For purposes of this table, the award price has been converted, based on the South African Rand/U.S. dollar exchange rate in effect as of grant date.
(3) The PSUs were to be settled if the Company achieved both a cumulative subscription revenue of $200 million as well as a cumulative Adjusted EBITDA of $74 million for both fiscal years 2019 and 2020. As these targets were not achieved, the performance shares will be canceled subsequent to year end.
(4) In accordance with SEC rules, the grant date fair value to be reported for PSUs in the Stock Awards column is calculated based on the probable outcome of the performance condition as of the grant date. We determined that as of the date of the grant of the PSU awards to NEO's, it was 60% probable and 10% probable for the November 5, 2018 grant and July 30, 2019 grant respectively, as defined under applicable accounting guidance, that the performance condition would be achieved and assigned a grant date fair value of approximately $0.33 per PSU and approximately $0.05 per PSU in the Stock Awards column for these respective awards. However, if we had determined that as of the applicable date of the grant it was probable that the performance conditions would be achieved at maximum levels, we would have assigned a grant date fair value of approximately $0.55 and approximately $0.46 per PSU award respectively.
(For purposes of this table, the targets have been converted from R3,588 million and R1,322 million, respectively, based on the South African Rand/U.S. dollar exchange rate in effect as of March 31, 2020 (R17.9224/$1).
(5) Mr. Tasker’s option was granted on September 10, 2014 and is fully vested. For purposes of this table, the exercise price has been converted, based on the South African Rand/U.S. dollar exchange rate in effect as of as of grant date.

NOMINATIONS AND REMUNERATION COMMITTEE REPORT
We qualify as a smaller reporting company (“SRC”) under SEC rules. As such, we may elect to omit certain disclosures that are not required under the reporting requirements for SRCs, including providing compensation disclosure and analysis under Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K, compensation committee interlocks and insider participation disclosure under Item 407(e)(4) of Regulation S-K and the compensation committee report under Item 407(e)(5) of Regulation S-K (collectively, the “Exempt Disclosures”). The following report is provided solely for compliance with certain requirements under the JSE Listings Requirements and to the extent applicable, the Companies Act. The inclusion of this report in this Proxy Statement shall not be construed as an election to comply with the disclosure requirements for the Exempt Disclosures.
We are pleased to report to you on the Nominations and Remuneration Committee’s (the “Committee”) activities during the 2020 fiscal year. The Committee executes its responsibilities in accordance with the mandate given by the Board.
In accordance with the requirements of the King IV Report on Corporate Governance (“King IV”), this report is made up of the following three sections:
Background Statement;
Remuneration Policy; and
Remuneration Implementation Report.

Voting at the 2020 Annual Meeting
In terms of the requirements laid out in King IV, shareholders will be required to vote on a non-binding advisory resolution on the following at the Annual Meeting:
Remuneration Policy; and
Remuneration Implementation Report.
We encourage all shareholders to provide feedback and contributions regarding their position on the various voting requirements. We will engage with shareholders as and when required to resolve any potential material issues of concern.
In the event that more than 25% of shareholders exercise their voting rights against the approval of one or both of the Remuneration Policy and Remuneration Implementation Report, the Board will engage with the shareholders to address all legitimate objections and concerns.
Background Statement
For the year ended March 31, 2020, the members of the Committee were:
Richard Bruyns (Chairperson);
Robin Frew;
Ian Jacobs.

The Committee normally invites the Chief Executive Officer to attend its meetings but he has no voting rights. He does not participate in discussions on his own remuneration, which is set by the Committee. The Committee meets at least on a quarterly basis.
Among other items, the Committee’s Terms of Reference include:
Attending to the remuneration and benefits of senior executives and executive directors;
Advising on non-executive directors’ fees and fees for those directors who are members of Board committees;
Advising on senior executive and executive director appointments;
Reviewing succession planning at an executive level;
Confirming the Company’s share incentive plan and the allocation of awards under the plan; and
Selecting and recommending candidates for appointment to the Board.

Non-executive directors’ fees are approved by shareholders at the Annual Meeting.
King IV and the JSE Listings Requirements require the Remuneration Policy and Remuneration Implementation Report to be approved by shareholders and that certain senior executives’ remuneration be disclosed. The Company obtained shareholder approval for its Remuneration Policy and Remuneration Implementation Report by way of non-binding advisory votes at the

                            44



annual general meeting held on September 11, 2019, achieving an 88.57% vote in favor of the Remuneration Policy and a 99.64% vote in favor of the Remuneration Implementation Report. No adverse feedback from shareholders was received following the annual general meeting.
The Company will submit the Remuneration Policy and the Remuneration Implementation Report for a non-binding advisory vote to shareholders at the Annual Meeting to be held on September 9, 2020.
No external consultants were used during the year.
The Committee is satisfied that the objectives of the Remuneration Policy were met during the reporting period, however, the Committee will continue to monitor the policy to ensure that the objectives are met, and any proposed changes will be tabled to the Board as and when required.
Current year key areas of focus
Areas of focus during the current year were:
the overall remuneration structures, configuration and performance targets were assessed against desired objectives and changes contemplated where required;
considering management’s recommendations for non-executive directors’ fees and the fees for the Board sub-committees before recommending to the Board and then to shareholders for approval; and
implementing mechanisms for further aligning shareholder and management interests.

Future areas of focus
The Committee will focus on the following during the next financial year, and going forward:
attending to the remuneration and benefits of senior executives and executive directors;
advising on senior executive and executive director appointments;
reviewing succession planning at an executive level;
confirming the Company’s share incentive plan and the allocation of awards under the plan; and
identifying and nominating non-executive Board candidates for approval by the Board.

Remuneration Policy
Principles of executive remuneration
MiX Telematics’ Remuneration Policy is formulated to attract and retain high-caliber executives and motivate them to develop and implement the Company’s business strategy in order to optimize long-term shareholder value. It is the intention that this Remuneration Policy should conform to best practice standards. The Remuneration Policy is framed around the following key principles:
Total rewards are set at levels that are fair, responsible and competitive within the relevant market and in relation to MiX staff;
Total incentive-based rewards are earned through the achievement of demanding growth and return targets consistent with shareholder interests over the short, medium and long term;
Incentive plans, performance measures and targets are structured to operate soundly throughout the business cycle; and
The design of long-term incentive plans is prudent and does not expose shareholders to unreasonable financial risk.

Elements of executive remuneration
Executive remuneration comprises the following four principal elements:
Basic salary and allowances;
Short term incentive - Bi-annual incentive bonuses;
Long term incentive - Share incentive plans; and
Retirement and other benefits.

                            45



The Committee seeks to ensure an appropriate balance between the fixed and performance-related elements of executive remuneration and between those aspects of the package linked to short-term financial performance and those linked to longer-term shareholder value creation. The policy related to each component of remuneration is summarized below.
Basic salary
The basic salary of each executive is subject to annual review and is set to be reasonable and competitive with reference to external market practice in similar companies, which are comparable in terms of size, market sector, business complexity, and international scope. Company performance, individual performance and changes in responsibilities are taken into account when determining annual basic salaries.
Bi-annual incentive bonus
All executives are eligible to receive a performance-related bi-annual cash bonus. The bonus is non-contractual and not pensionable. The Committee reviews bonuses at the half-year and at year-end and determines the level of bonus based on performance criteria set at the start of the performance period.
The criteria include targets relating to subscription revenue growth, operating profit, adjusted EBITDA targets, cash generated by operations and certain discretionary elements, aimed at fostering the correct behaviors within the Company, while encouraging long-term shareholder value creation and the successful achievement of the strategic objectives of the Company.
The bi-annual incentive bonus is available to executive directors, senior executives and selected employees. Bi-annual cash bonuses to senior executives and executive directors are approved by the Committee.
Share incentive plan
The Company has two share incentive plans in place.
TeliMatrix Group Executive Incentive Scheme
The TeliMatrix Group Executive Incentive Scheme is a share option plan and the award of share options to executive directors and senior executives is controlled by the Committee.
At the general meeting held on September 17, 2014, with the introduction and approval by shareholders of the MiX Telematics Limited Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP’’), the TeliMatrix Group Executive Incentive Scheme was closed. Since the introduction of the LTIP, no further awards have been or will be made in terms of the TeliMatrix Group Limited Executive Incentive Scheme.
Historically, motivations for the award of share options were presented by the Chief Executive Officer to the Committee which, after review and consideration, recommended the award of such options as it deemed fit to the Board for approval. Selected participants received grants of share options, which are conditional rights to receive MiX shares at prices equal to the exercise price. Vesting of options is subject to time and performance conditions. The performance conditions and period were determined by the Board on a grant-by-grant basis in respect of each new grant of options.
The targets and measuring terms relating to each issue are detailed in the letter of grant. After vesting, the options will become exercisable. Upon exercise by a participant, the Company settles the value of the options by delivering MiX shares that will be issued out of authorized unissued MiX shares. These options are treated as equity-settled instruments.
MiX Telematics Limited Long-Term Incentive Plan
The LTIP provides for three types of grants to be issued, namely performance shares, retention shares and share appreciation rights (“SARs’’). Under the LTIP awards may be issued to certain directors and key employees. These participants are determined by the Committee. Motivations for the awards are presented by the Chief Executive Officer to the Committee which, after review and consideration, recommends the award as it deems fit to the Board for approval. The award/exercise price of the SARs, performance shares and retention shares granted are equal to the closing market value of ordinary shares on the day preceding the date of the grant.
Vesting of performance shares, retention shares and SARs are subject to time and performance conditions. The performance conditions and period are determined by the Board on a grant-by-grant basis in respect of each new grant.

                            46



The targets and measuring terms relating to each issue are detailed in the letter of grant. After vesting, the retention and performance shares become immediately vested while the SARs will become exercisable.
At March 31, 2020, only SARs and performance shares have been issued under the LTIP.
The value of the difference between the exercise and grant price of the SARs and performance shares may be settled at the Company’s option by delivering shares or by settling the value in cash. Because the Company intends to settle the SARs and performance shares by delivering shares and has not established a past practice of settling in cash, the SARs and performance shares are classified as equity-settled share-based payment awards.
Eligibility
Any senior employee with significant managerial or other responsibility, including any director holding salaried employment or office in the Company, is eligible to participate in a share incentive plan which is operated by the Company.
During the current financial year 11,625,000 SARs and 3,900,000 performance shares were granted (2019: 1,500,000 SARs and 4,000,000 performance shares). There were 32,943,750 SARs (2019: 25,921,250 SARs) and 7,140,000 performance shares (2019: 3,800,000), with a weighted average award price of R5.23 and R9.20 (2019: R3.60 and R10.00) respectively, outstanding at March 31, 2020, of which 8,050,000 SARs had vested (2019: 4,418,750 SARs). No performance shares had vested as the performance targets have not yet been reached. The 7,140,000 performance shares outstanding as at March 31, 2020, will be canceled post year-end.
Refer to note 14 of the IFRS AFS for further detail on the share options, SARs and performance shares.
Retirement plans and other benefits
Executives are remunerated on a cost-to-company basis and as part of their package are entitled to a car allowance, provident fund contributions, medical, death and disability insurance. The provision of these benefits is considered to be market competitive for executive positions.
Other matters affecting remuneration of directors
External appointments
Executive directors are not permitted to hold external directorships or offices without the approval of the Board, other than those of a personal nature.
Non-executive directors
Fees payable to non-executive directors are proposed and reviewed by the Committee and recommended to the Board, which in turn makes recommendations to shareholders with reference to the fees paid by comparable companies, responsibilities taken by the non-executive directors and the importance attached to the retention and attraction of high-caliber individuals. Non-executive directors, in accordance with the recommendations of King IV, do not participate in any incentive programs.
Set out below are the fees paid to non-executive directors for the years ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019:

AUDIT AND RISK COMMITTEE REPORT
The Audit and Risk Committee operates pursuant to a terms of reference which is reviewed annually by the Audit and Risk Committee. Additionally, a brief description of the primary responsibilities of the Audit and Risk Committee is included in this Proxy Statement under the discussion of “Corporate Governance - Audit and Risk Committee”. Under the Audit and Risk Committee terms of reference, management is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Company’s financial statements, the application of accounting and financial reporting principles and our internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for auditing our financial statements and expressing an opinion as to their conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
In the performance of its oversight function, the Audit and Risk Committee reviewed and discussed with management and Deloitte & Touche, as the Company’s external auditor/independent registered public accounting firm, the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. The Audit and Risk Committee also discussed with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by applicable standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”). In addition, the Audit and Risk Committee received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letters from the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB, regarding such independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit and Risk Committee concerning independence, and discussed with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm their independence from the Company.
Please refer to pages 6 to 9 of the IFRS AFS for the Audit and Risk Committee Report, required to be included in the IFRS AFS in terms of section 94(7)(f) of the Companies Act.
Based upon the review and discussions described in the preceding paragraph, the Audit and Risk Committee recommended to the Board that the Company’s audited GAAP AFS be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 filed with the SEC.

SHARE OWNERSHIP
Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
The following table sets forth information relating to the beneficial ownership of our shares as of July 10, 2020, by:
each person, or group of affiliated persons, known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our shares;
each of our directors;
each of our named executive officers; and
all current directors and current executive officers as a group.

The number of shares beneficially owned by each shareholder is determined under rules issued by the SEC. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial” owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power or investment power, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. Except as indicated in the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the individuals and entities named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all of our shares beneficially owned by them, subject to any applicable community property laws.
The percentage of shares beneficially owned is computed on the basis of 547,201,847 of our shares outstanding (excluding treasury shares) as of July 10, 2020. Shares that a person has the right to acquire within 60 days of July 10, 2020 are deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of the person holding such rights, but are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person, except with respect to the percentage ownership of all directors and executive officers as a group. Unless otherwise indicated below, the address for each beneficial owner listed is c/o MiX Telematics Limited, Matrix Corner, Howick Close, Waterfall Park, Midrand, Johannesburg, South Africa.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS
Policies and Procedures on Transactions with Related Persons
Our Board has adopted a written related party transaction policy setting forth the policies and procedures for the review and approval or ratification of related party transactions. This policy covers, with certain exceptions set forth in Item 404 of Regulation S-K, any transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships, in which we were or are to be a participant, where the amount involved exceeds $120,000 in any one fiscal year and a “related person” (as defined under Regulation S-K) had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. It is our policy that directors interested in a related person transaction will recuse themselves from any vote on a related person transaction in which they have an interest. Each of the transactions described below entered into following the adoption of our related person transaction policy was approved in accordance with such policy.
The following is a summary of material transactions since April 1, 2019 that constitute related party transactions required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. We believe that we have executed all of our transactions with related parties on terms no less favorable to us than those we could have obtained from unaffiliated third parties.
TPF Investments Proprietary Limited (formerly Thynk Property Fund Proprietary Limited, formerly Thynk Industrial One Proprietary Limited)
In November 2007, we entered into a lease agreement with TPF Investments Proprietary Limited (“TPF Investments”) for our Midrand, South Africa, office. Robin Frew, a non-executive director and chairperson of the Board, is a director on the board of TPF Investments. The GAF Trust, of which an immediate family member of Robin Frew’s is a trustee, owns all the equity interests in TPF Investments. From April 1, 2019, through August 31, 2019, we paid TPF Investments R2.7 million / $0.2 million.
On December 5, 2018, MiX Telematics Enterprise SA Proprietary Limited (“MiX Enterprise”), an 85.1% held subsidiary of the Company, entered into a number of transaction documents under a Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (“B-BBEE”) property transaction, including an agreement in terms of which TPF Investments sold the office premises in Midrand, South Africa, to MiX Enterprise. MiX Enterprise similarly acquired MiX Telematics International Proprietary Limited’s office premises in Stellenbosch, South Africa. Concurrently with the aforementioned acquisitions, MiX Enterprise sold the said office premises in Midrand and Stellenbosch to Black Industrialists Group Property Management Company Proprietary Limited (“BIG”) and the aforementioned lease with TPF Investments was canceled on the day on which the properties were transferred into the name of BIG. MiX Enterprise subsequently concluded lease agreements with BIG to lease the premises in Midrand and Stellenbosch for an initial period of five years with an option to renew the lease for a further five-year period. The rationale behind the implementation of the acquisition of the Stellenbosch premises and subsequent disposal of both the Midrand and Stellenbosch premises to BIG is to enhance MiX Enterprise’s B-BBEE credentials, specifically in relation to ownership and enterprise and supplier development (preferential procurement) in terms of the South African Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act, 53 of 2003, given that BIG is a 100% black women owned company.
As TPF Investments is an associate of Robin Frew, the above mentioned transactions constitute a small related party transaction in terms of paragraph 10.7 of the JSE Listings Requirements.
Indemnification Agreements
We entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers on June 1, 2020. The form of Indemnification Agreement is filed as an exhibit to our Form 10-K. These agreements, among other things, require us to indemnify each director and executive officer against all reasonable expenses such as counsel fees, retainers, court costs, witness fees, judgments, settlements, penalties and fines reasonably incurred by the director or executive officer or on his behalf, in connection with such proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of MiX, and with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful.

It is the obligation of this Committee to monitor MiX’s activities, having regard to relevant legislation, other legal requirements or prevailing codes of best practice, relating to:
Social and economic development;
Good corporate citizenship;
The environment, health and public safety, inclusive of the impact of MiX’s activities, products and services thereon;
Consumer relationships, including advertising, public relations and compliance with consumer protection laws; and
Labor and employment.
Summary of the Committee’s function as prescribed by King IV
It is the obligation of this Committee to monitor MiX’s activities, having regard to relevant legislation, other legal requirements or prevailing codes of best practice, relating to:
Organizational ethics;

                            57



Sustainable development;
Responsible corporate citizenship; and
Stakeholder relationships.
The Committee must, as the occasion dictates, bring matters within its mandate to the attention of the Board and a Committee member must report on matters within its mandate to the shareholders at MiX’s Annual Meeting.
Monitoring approach
As the operations of MiX are spread over several geographies and because MiX sells extensively through a worldwide network of dealer and distribution partners, the Committee uses two sets of questionnaires to monitor those items under its mandate. The detailed questionnaire for the MiX subsidiaries is completed on a two-year cycle, with regional management providing input to the Committee on an as needed basis during this cycle. Each potential new dealer and distribution partner completes a questionnaire as part of the dealer and distribution partner approval process and signs a code of conduct. The code of conduct is re-signed by each dealer and distribution partner on a two-year cycle. Results of the questionnaires are, where relevant, reported to the Board and incorporated into the report for the Annual Meeting.
Focus for the year
The Committee monitors compliance with the 10 principles as set out in the United Nations Global Compact Principles, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) recommendations regarding corruption, and the International Labor Organization Protocol. These principles deal with human rights, labour practices, environmental responsibilities, and corruption. The review is conducted internally with MiX’s subsidiaries as well as externally, with our dealer and distribution partners. The Committee is satisfied with the Company’s performance in this regard.
We reviewed the questionnaires to determine whether these require any update for the next cycle. It was furthermore decided to extend the obligation to complete a questionnaire as part of the dealer and distribution partner approval process, to potential new service providers, suppliers and contractors. These potentially new service providers, suppliers and contractors will be obliged to complete the questionnaire when they apply to become partners of MiX and they will be required to sign the code of conduct on a two-year cycle as well. The Committee will commence with implementation hereof in the 2021 fiscal year.
A specific B-BBEE project focus has been a property transaction between MiX Telematics Enterprise SA Proprietary Limited (“MiX Enterprise”) and Black Industrialists Group Property Management Company Proprietary Limited (“BIG”), a black-women owned company, in order to increase MiX Enterprise's B-BBEE ownership and enterprise and supplier development (preferential procurement) credentials. This project was completed in the 2020 financial year. Post implementation of the transactions, MiX Enterprise entered into lease agreements with BIG, and is currently leasing the Stellenbosch and Midrand properties from BIG for an initial period of 5 years. Based on the Sale of Assets requirements incorporated in the ownership pillar and provided for in the Revised Codes of Good Practice, a transaction value equal to or exceeding R25 million must be registered with the BEE Commission, which obligation MiX Enterprise has complied with. Following the registration, the BEE Commission has evaluated the transaction between MiX Enterprise and BIG. The BEE Commission is seeking clarity on a small number of specific clauses in the agreements. MiX Enterprise and BIG, with the assistance of an independent consultant, are in the process of responding to the BEE Commission.
Kindly refer to the Corporate Citizenship Report in the 10-K Wrap for more information.
Policy Review
Time was spent reviewing, updating and finalizing, policies, charters, terms of reference, and various other documents as required to meet King IV requirements.
The Committee reviewed performance in regard to B-BBEE as measured against the B-BBEE scorecard for the South African businesses. Areas reviewed include ownership, employment equity, skills development, enterprise and supplier development.
Organizational Ethics
The Committee continued its focus on the maintenance of the anti-bribery and corruption program with all staff and directors undergoing compulsory online anti-bribery and corruption, and ethics training.
We promote a culture of openness throughout the Company, and as such we encourage all our stakeholders to report unethical behavior and any other transgressions they become aware of. We have an anonymous internal Whistleblowing Hotline

                            58



which is monitored by an Independent member of this Committee. All reports from this Hotline received during the year are logged and where appropriate, reported to the relevant managers after having been considered by the Committee. Reports on how the tip-offs have been investigated and the final outcome of the investigation and the corrective measures taken where appropriate, are submitted to the Committee.
Board feedback
The Committee’s Terms of Reference were reviewed and where required were updated to include any relevant changes in terms of the Companies Act and the recommended practices of King IV. The policies and the Committee Terms of Reference are available on the Company’s website www.mixtelematics.com.
The Committee Chairperson reports back to the Board on all material matters, at the next Board meeting following the Committee meeting.
There is a close working relationship between the Audit and Risk Committee and this Committee, and currently the three members of the Audit and Risk Committee also serve as the members of this Committee.
Discharge of responsibilities
The Committee is satisfied that during the financial year under review it has conducted its affairs, discharged its legal and other responsibilities as outlined in its terms of reference, the Companies Act and King IV. The Board concurred with this assessment.
Signed on behalf of the Social and Ethics Committee.

No special business shall be transacted at any general meeting without the consent of all shareholders entitled to receive notice of that meeting unless notice of such special business has been given in the notice convening that meeting. In addition, no business may be transacted at any general meeting other than business that is either specified in the notice of the meeting given by or at the direction of the Board (including on the requisition of shareholders in accordance with the Memorandum of Incorporation) or otherwise properly brought before an annual general meeting by or at the direction of the Board.

HOUSEHOLDING
SEC rules permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements and notices with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement or a single notice addressed to those shareholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” provides cost savings for companies and helps the environment by conserving natural resources. Some brokers household proxy materials, delivering a single proxy statement or notice to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected shareholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement or notice, or if your household is receiving multiple copies of these documents and you wish to request that future deliveries be limited to a single copy, please notify your broker. You can also request prompt delivery of a copy of this Proxy Statement and the Annual Report by emailing us at company.secretary@mixtelematics.com or in writing at Matrix Corner, Howick Close, Waterfall Park, Midrand, South Africa, 1686 for the attention of the Group Legal Counsel.

Notes to the form of proxy

1.
This form of proxy is only to be completed by those ordinary shareholders who are:
a.holding ordinary shares in certificated form; or
b.recorded in the sub-register in electronic form in their “own-name”, on the date on which shareholders must be recorded as such in the register maintained by the transfer secretaries, Computershare Investor Services Proprietary Limited, being Friday, September 4, 2020 (voting record date), and who wish to appoint another person to represent them at the Annual Meeting.
2.
Certificated shareholders wishing to attend the Annual Meeting (including by way of electronic participation) have to ensure beforehand with the transfer secretaries of the Company (being Computershare Investor Services Proprietary Limited) that their shares are registered in their own-name.
3.
Beneficial shareholders whose shares are not registered in their “own-name” but in the name of another, for example, a nominee, may not complete a form of proxy, unless a form of proxy is issued to them by a registered shareholder and they should contact the registered shareholder for assistance in issuing instruction on voting their shares, or obtaining a proxy to attend, speak and, on a poll, vote at the Annual Meeting (including by way of electronic participation).
4.
A shareholder may insert the name of a proxy or the names of two alternative proxies of the shareholder’s choice in the space, with or without deleting “the Chairperson of the Annual Meeting”. The person whose name stands first on the form of proxy and who is present at the Annual Meeting (including by way of electronic participation) will be entitled to act as proxy to the exclusion of those whose names follow.
5.
A shareholder’s instructions to the proxy must be indicated by means of a tick or a cross in the appropriate box provided. However, if you wish to cast your votes in respect of a lesser number of shares than you own in the Company, insert the number of shares in respect of which you desire to vote. If: (i) a shareholder fails to comply with the above; or (ii) gives contrary instructions in relation to any matter; or (iii) the resolution listed in the form of proxy is modified or amended, the member will be deemed to authorize the Chairperson of the Annual Meeting, if the Chairperson is the authorized proxy, to vote in favor of the resolutions at the Annual Meeting, or any other proxy to vote or to abstain from voting at the Annual Meeting as he/she deems fit, in respect of all the member’s votes exercisable thereat. If however, the member has provided further written instructions which accompany this form of proxy and which indicate how the proxy should vote or abstain from voting in any of the circumstances referred to in (i) to (iii) above, then the proxy shall comply with those instructions.
6.
The forms of proxy should be lodged at Computershare Investor Services Proprietary Limited, Rosebank Towers, 15 Biermann Avenue, Rosebank, Johannesburg, 2196, or posting it to Private Bag X9000, Saxonwold, 2132 (at the risk of the shareholder) or by email to proxy@computershare.co.za, by no later than 2:30 p.m., South African time, on Monday, September 7, 2020 in order to allow for processing of the forms of proxy. Alternatively, the form of proxy may be submitted, per the above, at any time prior to the commencement of the Annual Meeting or prior to voting on any resolution proposed at the Annual Meeting. The completion and lodgement of this form of proxy will not preclude the relevant shareholder from attending the Annual Meeting by way of electronic participation and speaking and voting thereat to the exclusion of any proxy appointed in terms thereof, should such shareholder wish to do so. In addition to the aforegoing, a shareholder may revoke the proxy appointment by (i) canceling it in writing, or making a later inconsistent appointment of a proxy; and (ii) delivery a copy of the revocation instrument to the proxy, and to the Company. The revocation of a proxy appointment constitutes a complete and final cancellation of the proxy’s authority to act on behalf of the shareholder as at the later of the date stated in the revocation instrument, if any; or the date on which the revocation instrument was delivered in the required manner.
7.
The Chairperson of the Annual Meeting may reject or accept any form of proxy which is completed and/or received, other than in compliance with these notes provided that, in respect of acceptances, he is satisfied as to the manner in which the shareholder(s) concerned wish(es) to vote.
8.
Any alteration to this form of proxy, other than a deletion of alternatives, must be initialed by the signatory/ies.
9.
Documentary evidence establishing the authority of a person signing this form in a representative capacity must be attached to this form of proxy unless previously recorded by the Company or Computershare Investor Services Proprietary Limited or waived by the Chairperson of the Annual Meeting.
10.
A minor must be assisted by his/her parent or guardian unless the relevant documents establishing his/her legal capacity are produced or have been registered by Computershare Investor Services Proprietary Limited.
11.
Where there are joint holders of shares:
a.any one holder may sign the form of proxy; and
b.the vote of the senior (for that purpose seniority will be determined by the order in which the names of shareholders appear in the register of members) who tenders a vote (whether in person or by proxy) will be accepted to the exclusion of the vote(s) of the other joint holder(s) of shares.
12.
If duly authorized companies and other corporate bodies who are shareholders of the Company having shares registered in their own name may, instead of completing this form of proxy, appoint a representative to represent them and exercise all of their rights at the Annual Meeting by giving written notice of the appointment of that representative. This notice

                            67



will not be effective at the Annual Meeting unless it is accompanied by a duly certified copy of the resolution or other authority in terms of which that representative is appointed and is received by Computershare Investor Services Proprietary Limited, Rosebank Towers, 15 Biermann Avenue, Rosebank, Johannesburg, 2196, or posting it to Private Bag X9000, Saxonwold, 2132 (at the risk of the shareholder) or by email to proxy@computershare.co.za, by no later than 2:30 p.m., South African time, on Monday, September 7, 2020 in order to allow for processing of the forms of proxy. Alternatively, the form of proxy may be submitted, per the above, at any time prior to the commencement of the Annual Meeting or prior to voting on any resolution proposed at the Annual Meeting.
