The board of directors of Momentum Group has considered the effect of the repurchase and is of the opinion

     - The Company and the group will be able, in the ordinary course of business, to pay its debts;
     - The assets of the Company and the group will be in excess of its liabilities;
     - The Company and the group's ordinary share capital and reserves will be adequate for ordinary
        business purposes;
     - The Company and the group will have adequate working capital for ordinary business purposes; and
     - The Company and the group have passed the solvency and liquidity test and since the test was
        performed there have been no material changes to the financial position of the Company and the group.

                                                                                                             
The repurchase was funded from the Momentum Group's available cash resources. The shares were purchased

Value was bought back for R1.33bn, creating value worth R339m. The Momentum Group is not in breach of its
