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 Co-Investment Scheme

Senior executives are eligible for an annual bonus based on
achievement of performance targets.    These eligible executives can
elect to invest all or part of their net bonus in Lewis Group shares.

These shares are deferred for a specified period (three years) and
matching shares equal to the before tax bonus are awarded for no
consideration at the end of the period.  The shares are provided by
the existing employee share trust.

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 14 June 2013 to invest their net
bonus in the company’s shares (“invested shares”) and, consequently,
matching share awards were awarded to them under the Lewis Co-
Investment Plan :

2.     The Lewis Executive Performance Scheme

Share awards have been made to members of senior management of Lewis
Group Limited and its trading subsidiary, Lewis Stores (Pty) Ltd.

In terms of the scheme, executives have been offered the right to
acquire shares of the company for no consideration subject to the
achievement of performance targets.      The share awards under this
scheme will lapse, should the executive terminate his or her
employment before the completion of the period of the award.
The Board and the Remuneration committee have agreed to grant awards
to executives under the standard 3 year plan and a 5 year plan,
details which are set out below.

2.1    The 3 year plan

The performance targets are set by the Remuneration Committee at the
beginning of the each of the 3 years and are based on the budgeted
net profit before taxation for that year.

No performance shares will accrue if the group achieves less than 90%
of target.     Any achievement between 90% and 100% of target will
result in a proportionate accrual of shares weighted towards 100% of
target.

The following executives have been granted awards on 14 June 2013
under the Lewis Executive Performance Scheme:

                                                Maximum No. of
 Executive       Designation                    Shares (for no     Value

2.2.   The 5 year plan


The performance target set by the Remuneration Committee is based on

shareholders (adjusted to exclude the STC cost in prior years) for
the preceding 5 years at the point of vesting in year 3, 4 and 5.

One-third of this award would vest at the end of year 3 and a third
each at the end of years 4 and 5, all subject to the performance
targets being met and being in the employ of the group.
