Counsel comes to the conclusion that the above facts are inconsistent with the purely circumstantial case of fraud in respect of the stock and therefore the inference that fraud in respect of the stock took place cannot be sustained.

Counsel makes the point as to the probabilities even if the allegations were true, no single party would have benefitted from the fraud and it appears the only tangible result thereof would have been to conceal a fractional stock loss of approximately 0.8% of the turnover of the Company which would likely not have affected the share price thereof. CHOPPIES ENTERPRISES LIMITED Co. Reg: BW00001142508 The case for the allegation of fraud in respect of the stock in Zimbabwe was that management had

orchestrated a similar scheme to hide stock losses extensively identified by the internal auditor, by Incorporated in the Republic of Botswana using a stock management system called “Grocery SKU” (essentially the same system as the Rebate (“ Choppies”or“the Company” or “the Group”) SKU). In this regard the allegation was that the Zimbabwean subsidiary sold 4.5 million US Dollars worth of non-existent stock over March and April 2018 to various entities without ever receiving BSE Share Code: CHOPPIES money in return and that, in an attempt to hide the fact that no money was received management JSE Share Code: CHP purported to pay the missing USD 4.5 million to a contractor identified in the Report (“the ISIN Number: BW0000001072 Contractor”) ostensibly in exchange for construction services pertaining to the renovation of various Choppies stores across Zimbabwe. The allegation was that this “payment” did not actually take place UPDATE ON FOCUSED INVESTIGATION IN RESPECT OF ALLEGATIONS OF FRAUD IN RESPECT OF and was only ever done on the “books” giving rise to further allegations that the Contractor was paid STOCK HELD BY CHOPPIES SUBSIDIARIES, AND BULK SALES OF SUCH STOCK AND NOTICE TO a non-existent amount for non-existing services which were never rendered. PERSONS IMPLICATED IN THE REPORT Counsel is of the view that the evidence suggests that the internal auditor was mistaken on the same Shareholders are referred to the opinion by Advocates Hoffman SC and Meyerowitz dated 5 basis as in South Africa. Furthermore, the internal auditor appears to have identified 7.3 million US December 2019 (“the Hoffman Opinion”) and the opinion by Advocates Redding SC and Meyerowitz Dollars’ worth of missing stock but only USD6 million of that “missing” (Rebate) stock was sold in dated 6 December 2019 (“the Redding Opinion”) placed on XNews and SENS on 11 December 2019, March and April 2018. The remaining 1.3 million US Dollars’ worth of missing stock was actually and subsequent update announcements in respect thereof. accounted for by auditors PwC, post the bulk sales, (as was the money was received for the sale of the 6 million US Dollars’ worth of Rebate Stock). However, Ernst & Young found that only USD1.5 million The Hoffman Opinion recommended that the Board of the Company undertake a further investigation of the USD6 million sales had been banked (which itself suggests at least 1.5 million US Dollars’ worth to determine the veracity of the stock fraud allegations. of sold Rebate Stock actually existed) but could not find paper trail for the remaining USD4.5 million The Redding Opinion specified that the form of such investigation may be that of a “Focused ostensibly received in cash. Investigation”. Choppies management produced documentation in support of a claim that the USD4.5 million was Pursuant to the Hoffman and Redding Opinions, the Board through the office of its legal advisor Neill indeed received in cash and applied to various legitimate construction projects around Zimbabwe. Armstrong (“the Legal Advisor”) briefed Advocate Meyerowitz (“Counsel”) to undertake a focused Counsel was provided with extensive documents regarding these construction projects including investigation of the facts and provide an opinion on whether the allegations of fraud in respect of invoices, construction plans and photographs of the completed project. stock losses and bulk sales were true or otherwise sustainable in a court of law or quasi-judicial Counsel makes the point again that even if the allegations were true, there is no evidence that any setting. one party personally benefitted from the alleged fraud. If the loss of USD4.5 million worth of stock In the brief, Counsel was provided with extensive documentary evidence in addition to the documents was fraudulently concealed, it is also doubtful that such a comparatively fractional loss would have furnished to Advocates Hoffman SC, Redding SC and Meyerowitz, for preparation of the Hoffmann had an effect on the holding company share price. and the Redding Opinions. Averments in the Ernst & Young Report and evidence provided to Counsel suggests that certain of Counsel in considering the documentation, in particular the Ernst & Young Report (the subject of the management staff of the Company “backdated” certain documents pertaining to the targets store Hoffman and Redding Opinions), identified key witnesses. acquisition. Counsel is of the view that this appears to have been done to ensure that transaction was recorded in the 2018 financial year, rather than to perpetrate some sort of fraud. Counsel is satisfied It was the intention that Counsel would interview such witnesses and take statements from those that the backdating was not done in pursuant of the allegedly fraudulent stock manipulation in South witnesses, in order to establish the facts in respect of the allegations of fraud in respect of the holding Africa. Counsel makes that point that he cannot know the consequences of what the backdating might of stock and bulk sales. have for the audit responsibility of the Company or towards any third party. Counsel therefore With the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic and travel and lockdown restrictions imposed by the recommends that the Board takes the matter further to establish possible consequences of this governments of South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe, Counsel was not able to meet with the backdating (which investigation was beyond the mandate of Counsel’s focused investigation). Counsel witnesses to conduct the intended interview. points that while backdating a document is per se a fraudulent representation the moral and legal liability for doing so depends largely on the consequences of that action. If it turns out that the After considering the additional evidence provided by the extensive documentary evidence referred backdating was for an innocent reason and was without consequence it is likely that such action to hereinbefore, Counsel issued written interrogatories to each of the identified witnesses through should attract little more than a reprimand from the Board of the Company. the offices of the Legal Advisor and requested written submissions in response thereto accompanied by appropriate documentary evidence. Counsel has recommended, to ensure the integrity of the process of investigation, that the Report (for this reason entitled a “Preliminary Report”) be made available to persons implicated by the Certain of the witnesses identified did respond to the interrogatories and provide additional Preliminary Report which persons would then be accorded an opportunity of three weeks, post documentary evidence. In particular the internal auditor to the Company at the time, who raised the publication of the Preliminary Report, to provide Counsel with relevant evidence which may be new or issues in respect of stock losses and bulk sales, who it appears did not respond to queries raised by different, for examination, interrogation and ultimately conclusion as to whether or not such evidence Ernst & Young did make not available an address to which Counsel’s questions to him could be sent. would alter the Preliminary Report. Counsel has considered all the evidence provided to him and has come to the conclusions that the The Board, upon the recommendation of Counsel and pursuant to publication of this synopsis of the allegations of fraud in respect of stock in both South Africa and Zimbabwe would not likely succeed in Preliminary Report on XNews and SENS, will make a full copy of the Preliminary Report available to a court of law nor in a formal quasi-judicial setting such as a disciplinary hearing. Counsel is satisfied persons implicated by the Preliminary Report, and accord such persons an opportunity for a period of that the evidence before him (which is almost entirely circumstantial) can do no better than establish three weeks post publication of the said Report, to present evidence whether new or different, to equal probability which means that the case of fraud will likely fail on the onus, placed on the entity Counsel for interrogation and consideration whether conclusions in the Preliminary Report should be alleging the fraud. altered. The case for the allegation of fraud in respect of stock in South Africa was that management had Accordingly, persons implicated by the Preliminary Report are given notice of the fact that the full orchestrated an elaborate scheme to hide stock losses ostensibly identified by the internal auditor, by report is available at the principal place of business of the Company at Plot 169, Gaborone using a stock management system called “Rebate SKU” and then pretending to sell 129 million rands International Commerce Park, Gaborone during business hours Monday to Friday each week for worth of non-existent stock to a purchaser identified in the Report (“the Purchaser”), receiving the inspection, and at request, for a copy. money from the Purchaser, then sending the money back to the Purchaser in exchange for the acquisition of four retail stores at artificially inflated prices, the result of the scheme being that the Any material new and different evidence should be provided by a person implicated in the Preliminary Purchaser pretended to sell the stores at the inflated price of R146 million, but in reality sold the Report to the Legal Advisor to the Company Mr. Neill Armstrong at [email protected] or stores at the price of R55 million the artificially inflated portion of the sale price (R91 million) being marked for his attention at the offices of Botlhole Law Group, Plot 33957, Matlapaneng Street, Block compensated for with 129 million rands worth of non-existing stock and another R38 million in 8, Gaborone. smaller fictional transactions It was alleged that the stock loss would be hidden “on the books” and concealed by the artificially inflated goodwill in the recently purchased stores.
