The Group does not pay interim dividends. The board of directors of the Company considers a dividend on an annual
basis, post year end. Considering the Group's current debt levels, it is not envisaged that a dividend will be declared
this year.

RESTATEMENT OF COMPARATIVE PERIOD INTERIM RESULTS
As a consequence of the voluntary administration of Murray & Roberts Pty Ltd ("MRPL"), the Group lost control of MRPL
and its subsidiaries, which include Clough Limited ("Clough") and RUC Cementation Mining Contractors Pty Ltd (“RUC�). In the financial result, 
MRPL, Clough and RUC have thus been deconsolidated from the Group with effect from 5 December 2022. This accounting treatment 
is reflected in the Group's interim financial results and the net asset value of the deconsolidated companies is excluded 
from the Group's net asset value as at 31 December 2022. The comparative financial results for the six months to 
31 December 2021 have been restated with MRPL and its subsidiaries, previously reported as continuing operations, 
now reported as discontinued operations.

On behalf of the directors:

Suresh Kana                                                 Henry Laas
Chairman of the Board                                       Group Chief Executive
