For this purpose, the initial Agreement and the subsequent addenda (the "Transactions") are Related Party Transactions.
The Agreement is for the provision (sole supplier) of electricity to the Group's Mpongwe farms. The Agreement was amended on 30 July 2025, extending the term for an additional six months, and amended again on 1 December 2025, extending the term for a further additional six months through to 31 July 2026.
