SHORT-FORM ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE UNAUDITED INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31
AUGUST 2022




The Board of Directors ("the Board") of the Company is pleased to present the results for the period ended 31
August 2022. Although the performance has seemingly declined for this period, we are delighted of our
partnership with Norsad Finance Limited (“Norsad”) which has rebalanced our capital structure to incorporate
debt.

Furthermore, with the anticipated exits from Genric Insurance Proprietary Limited and Phelang Bonolo
Healthcare Procurement and Management Company Proprietary Limited, the Company will have increased
liquidity.

  •   Net asset value per share decreased by 1,82% to R14,06 in the current period from R14,32 in the prior
      period.
