SENS-AI conclusion

Tiger Brands has appointed Shirley Machaba as an independent non-executive director, effective 1 July 2026, following her planned departure as PwC Southern Africa CEO. Her extensive leadership and audit experience will strengthen the board's governance, though the long lead time limits any immediate strategic impact. This is a routine governance update and does not indicate any immediate changes to the company's operational or strategic direction. Investor Takeaway: This is an administrative board addition with a deferred start date, providing no immediate catalyst for the equity.

Routine filing. No equity signal. No portfolio action required.
