     Foods division (“Grand Foods”). Mr. Pienaar has been with
     GPI since 2008 and has extensive insight into GPI’s business
     operations which, together with his broad skills set, will
     add significant depth to the management of Grand Foods.

     Mr. Shaun Barends has been appointed as the new Financial
     Director. Mr. Barends is a qualified chartered accountant
     with 16 years’ experience across a range of industries which
     include financial services, oil and gas, construction and
     telecommunications. He has been with the GPI Group since

     division and more recently the finance division of Grand
     Foods. Previously Mr. Barends was an associate director in
     the audit practice of one of the big four audit firms where
     he worked for some 13 years. He also served as a board
     member on the Association for the Advancement of Black
     Accountants of Southern Africa for 6 years.
