Shareholders are advised of the resignation of Mr Gareth Schnehage as Chief Financial Officer and Executive Director of the Group with effect from 04 February 2026 due to family commitments. Gareth’s decision followed extensive and constructive discussions with the Board regarding the operational requirements of the Chief Financial Officer role at this stage of the Group’s development, including the need for the position to be based in Mauritius alongside the Group’s finance team to support a hands-on execution-focused mandate. Owing to personal commitments in the United Kingdom, Gareth elected not to relocate to Mauritius. The Board is grateful for his service and contribution to the Group and wishes him well in his future endeavours. The Board is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Hugo Jordaan as the new Chief Financial Officer and Executive Director of the Group with effect from 04 February 2026.

Since joining the Group, he has played a central role in financial management, reporting and stakeholder engagement, and has developed a strong understanding of the Group’s financial, operational and regulatory framework. A comprehensive and orderly handover has been completed to ensure continuity and execution certainty. Prior to joining Grit, Hugo served as Regional Chief Financial Officer for Africa at International SOS, where he was responsible for financial management across the African region. He previously led the African finance function at Australian listed Orica Group, where he successfully delivered a complex regional restructuring. During his tenure at Orica, he also implemented initiatives that resulted in cumulative EBIT improvements of more than AUD13 million per annum and a AUD10 million improvement in trade working capital through the reduction of overdue debtor balances. Hugo brings strong technical expertise, deep institutional knowledge and proven leadership capability, positioning him well to support the Group’s strategic priorities at this stage of its development.
