GRINDROD SHIPPING HOLDINGS LTD. ANNOUNCES RESULTS OF THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING HELD ON JUNE 20, 2024

Singapore, June 20, 2024: — Grindrod Shipping Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRIN) (JSE: GSH) (“Grindrod Shipping” or “Company” or “we” or “us” or “our”), a global provider of maritime transportation services predominantly in the drybulk sector, today announced that on June 20, 2024 at 18:00 Singapore Standard time, Grindrod Shipping Holdings Ltd. held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “EGM”) to consider approval of the proposed selective capital reduction of the Company (the “Selective Capital Reduction”) pursuant to Section 78G of the Companies Act 1967 of Singapore (the “Companies Act”).

As at the record date of the EGM, May 10, 2024 at 06:00 United States Eastern Daylight Time / 12:00 South Africa Standard Time, there were 19,685,590 ordinary shares of the Company (the “Shares”) in issue. At the EGM, a total of 1,504,373 Shares, representing approximately 46.067% of the Shares entitled to vote, were present virtually or by proxy, constituting a quorum to conduct business. Good Falkirk (MI) Limited and its concert parties, which collectively hold 16,419,947 Shares, abstained from voting at the EGM.

At the EGM, the following proposal to approve the Selective Capital Reduction (the “SCR Proposal”) was considered:

(1)

that, pursuant to sections 78G to 78I of the Companies Act and regulation 56 of the constitution of the Company, and contingent upon the approval of the High Court of the Republic of Singapore, the issued share capital of the Company be reduced from US$290,193,001 comprising 19,685,590 Shares, to US$240,614,044 comprising 16,206,365 Shares, and that such reduction be effected by:

(a)

cancelling the amount of US$49,578,956 constituting part of the total paid-up share capital of the Company held by all the shareholders (except such part held by Good Falkirk (MI) Limited) (the “Participating Shareholders”), such Participating Shareholders holding 3,479,225 Shares; and

(b)

cancelling the 3,479,225 Shares constituting part of the total issued share capital of the Company held by the Participating Shareholders, and the aggregate sum of US$49,578,956 arising from such reduction of the Company’s share capital to be returned to the Participating Shareholders in cash, on the basis of US$14.25 per Share held by each Participating Shareholder so cancelled.

The SCR Proposal was approved by a requisite vote of the Company’s shareholders voting at the EGM. The Company intends to promptly submit an application to the High Court of the Republic of Singapore seeking approval of the Selective Capital Reduction. For more information, please refer to the circular to the shareholders of the Company, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 14, 2024, as supplemented on May 28, 2024.

Each Share carries one vote. Details of all votes validly cast at the EGM are set out below:

	For ⁽¹⁾				Against ⁽¹⁾				Abstentions ⁽¹⁾
Special Resolution		Number of Shares	%⁽²⁾			Number of Shares	%⁽²⁾			Number of Shares	%⁽³⁾
1. SCR Proposal		1,434,605	95.714	%		64,241	4.286	%		5,527	0.367	%

Notes:

(1)

Whilst Shares abstained from voting count toward determining the quorum of the meeting, the calculation of the percentage of votes cast in favour of, or against, the SCR Proposal disregards abstained votes.

(2)

Percentage is calculated as the votes for or against, as applicable, divided by the total of votes for and against, and not including abstentions.

(3)

Percentage is calculated as the votes abstained divided by total Shares represented at the EGM, being 1,504,373 Shares.
