FSB’S ON-GOING INVESTIGATION INTO THE MAKING OF FALSE STATEMENTS IN RELATION TO
LEWIS

In response to a report in the Business Day on 30 September 2016 headed “Woollam cleared of Lewis
insider trading”, Lewis wishes to record that in 2015 it, inter alia, lodged a complaint with the Financial
Services Board (FSB) against Woollam for the making and/or publishing of false, misleading or deceptive
statements, promises or forecasts, of and regarding it.

In this regard, the FSB’s Directorate of Market Abuse has confirmed in a letter dated 28 September 2016,
addressed to Lewis’s legal representatives that the investigation into the allegations of false, misleading,
deceptive statements, promises and/or forecasts made against Lewis, is still on-going.
