Directors Dealings in Securities

In compliance with the requirements 3.63 to 3.74 of the JSE Listings
Requirements, the following should be noted:

1.     The Lewis 2019 Executive Retention Scheme

Senior executives who are invited to co-invest have earned an annual
bonus and have achieved the requisite performance targets set for
them. These eligible executives can elect to invest f r o m 1 0 % u p
a maximum percentage set by the Remuneration Committee
(“the    Committee”)for     each    executive.     The   Committee
cannot set the percentage so determined above 100%.

These invested shares (i.e. shares acquired using the executive’s
net bonus) are held on behalf of executives for a period of three
years and matching shares equal to the before tax bonus are awarded
for no consideration at the end of the period. The invested shares
are purchased by the employee share trust on the open market on
behalf of executives.

The matching share award will lapse, should the executive terminate
his or her employment before the completion of the three year period
other than in the event of death, ill-health, retirement or
retrenchment.

The following executives elected on 28 August 2020 to invest their
percentage of the net bonus        in  the company’s  shares  and,
consequently, matching share awards were awarded to them under the
Lewis 2019 Executive Retention Scheme:
