SENS-AI conclusion

This announcement represents a technical compliance filing triggered by the corporate consolidation of Sanlam Investment Management into Ninety One, rather than an active, discretionary accumulation of Truworths shares. As the stake transfer is a mechanical outcome of the broader Ninety One-Sanlam merger, this event is neutral and reflects a change in the beneficial holder's identity rather than fresh institutional demand.
