independent non-executive directors, and ad-hoc advisory expertise in
technology, packaging, and SADC market entry.

11.3 Organisational Structure
PrintCore will adopt a functional organisation structure during the
first three years of operation, transitioning to a hybrid
functional/divisional model from Year 4 as the packaging line and SADC
operations achieve scale. Total full-time-equivalent (FTE) headcount is
planned at 38 by end of Year 1, scaling to 78 by end of Year 3 and 105
by end of Year 5. The headcount build is structured to track production
volume so that direct labour costs remain disciplined as a percentage of
revenue.

|---|---|---|---|
| Production (operators, finishers) | 20 | 44 | 60 |

sub-committees (Audit & Risk; Remuneration & Nominations) once
the equity round closes. Board composition will comprise the CEO, the
CFO, one founder representative, two independent non-executive
directors, and an independent non-executive Chair. Investor
representation will be agreed contractually as part of the equity round.
The Company will adopt the King IV Code of Corporate Governance
principles voluntarily from Year 1.
