Morning, ladies and gentlemen. It gives me great pleasure to welcome you all to the eighteenth annual general meeting of the members of Lewis Group Limited, which is being held virtually. In terms of Article 19.6.1 of the MOI, I'm chairing the meeting in my capacity as chairman of the board of directors. As more than three members are attending the meeting and the members present represent 1,27,728 shares in the company. I should advise also that I'm holding a number of proxies and letters of representation in respect of 38,275,191 shares. As the necessary quorum is present, I declare the meeting duly opened. In order to ensure that all votes are cast at this meeting and are taken into account, I have determined that the resolution set out in the notice of the AGM will be taken as a poll. For the purpose of the poll, I nominate Computershare to act as the scrutineers. Once voting has opened, voting can be performed at any time during the meeting until the voting on the resolution is in fact closed. Thereafter, the results will be announced at the end of the meeting. Results will be displayed in real time after I've closed the voting. I will allow the motions to be discussed after they have been put to the meeting. Any shareholder or appointed proxy attending the meeting is eligible to ask questions. Questions may be submitted at any time and will be addressed once all the motions have been put to the meeting. Would you kindly type your questions in the chat box at the bottom of the messaging screen. We will now proceed with the business of the meeting. The notice of the AGM has been in your hands for the prescribed period, and I therefore would like to take it as read. At this stage, if I can ask the secretary whether we have any apologies. We have no apologies, Mr. Chair. Thank you. It is a requirement in terms of the Companies Act that the director's report, the external auditor's report, the audit committee report, annual financial statements, and the social and ethics and transformation committee report be presented at the annual general meeting of shareholders.

Are there any questions anybody would like to pose in relation to the financial statements, including any of the reports which we've just dealt with? If there are any questions, could we deal with them in respect of the financial statements at this stage and any general questions we can deal with at a later stage? There are no questions, chair.

Sorry, is it possible to make that slightly bigger? We can go ahead and read it. We'll read it for you, Chair. Thank you. Please, can you advise what quantity of shares have been repurchased as authorized by the SGM that took place on the 12th of August 2022? If less than 3% of shares have been repurchased since the SGM, was it necessary to call for the SGM? Okay. Paul, maybe I can ask Paul Croucher to just give us the details of those, unless Johan, you have them at hand. Very happy to field that question. Thank you very much. Evan, thank you for your question. Yes, the volumes have been really thin in the market over the last two months, so unfortunately we've not been successful to buy back as much as 3% of shares in issue. As a matter of fact, we bought back just below 0.5%. I still maintain that it was the right decision for us to remain in the market, because we might have been more successful, and the period of two months has passed. On a look-through basis, just below 0.5% bought back. Thank you for that, Johan. Okay. Are there any other questions that have been posed? No further questions, Chair. I don't know if you wanna give it another minute. I think let's do so, just in case anybody's busy actually typing in the chat box. Okay, I think we can move on. I will now close the voting and, if we can just allow for a few minutes, just to get the actual results of the poll. What we will do, they'll actually be published, and we can go through them just to confirm them. Okay, thank you. I'll go through them on a one-by-one basis.

There being no other business, I hereby declare the meeting closed. Thank you. Thank you to those who attended. Thank you very much.
