Special General Meeting

Aug 5, 2021

Morning, ladies and gentlemen. It gives me great pleasure to welcome you all to the Special General Meeting of the members of Lewis Group Limited, which is being held virtually. In terms of Article 19.6.1 of the memorandum of incorporation, I'm chairing the meeting in my capacity as the Chairman of the Board of Directors. As more than 3 members are attending the meeting and members represent 1,567,920 shares in the company. I advise also that I am holding a number of proxies to the extent of 43,130,000,000 434 shares. As the necessary quorum is, in fact, at the meeting, I declare the meeting open. In order to ensure that all bids that are cast at the meeting are taken into account, I've determined that the resolution set out in the circular, be taken as a poll. For the purpose of the poll, I nominate Computershare to act as the scrutineers. Once voting has opened, voting can be done at any time during the meeting until the resolution is, in fact, closed. Thereafter, the results will be announced at the end of the meeting. I will allow the motions to be for any questions to be asked during the course after each of the resolutions have been put to the meeting. Any shareholder or appointed proxy attending the meeting is eligible to ask questions. Questions may be submitted at any time and will be addressed once both motions have been put to the meeting. Would you please type your message within the chat box at the bottom of the messaging screen? We shall now proceed with the meeting itself. The circular convening the meeting has been in your hands for the prescribed period, and I would therefore like to take it as read. There are no apologies. So I've been advised by our secretary, so we can proceed straight to Special Resolution No. 1, which is the general authority to repurchase company shares. The first item on the agenda is the Special Resolution No. 1, which gives the directors of the company and its subsidiaries general authority to repurchase the company's shares. The detail of this special resolution as well as the reasons for the special resolution are set out on Page 14 of the circular. I propose the adoption of Special Resolution No. 1 as set out in the circular, giving the general authority to the purchase shares. The motion has been proposed. We will then move on to the 2nd motion, which is an ordinary resolution, and that is the authority to implement the special resolution. The next item on the agenda is Ordinary Resolution 1, which authorizes each and every director of the company or the company sector to do all such things and to sign that may be necessary or incidental to the implementation of the resolution passed at the meeting. I propose the adoption of Ordinary Resolution No. 1 as set out in the circular, giving the required authority to the directors to implement Resolutions passed at the meeting. The motion has been proposed. We will now address any if there are any questions in the chat area. Are there any questions? I'll just give anybody who wants to pose any questions, just a few seconds. Okay. If there are no questions, those who have not voted now have the opportunity to vote on the Special Resolution 1 as well as the ordinary Resolution 1. As the voting on the resolutions put before the meeting are now closed, The results of the poll are now available and will be displayed on the screen. It may take just a few minutes. But when you're ready, if you could do so, that would be great. Thanks, Compuze. The results will come up momentarily, Chair. Thank you. Thank you. So just to announce the results. In terms of Special Resolution number 1, the votes for were 99.09 percent. The votes against were 0.91%. In terms of ordinary resolution, number 1 votes for but also 99.09% votes against were 0 point 9.1%. And under the circumstances, both resolutions have been passed. There being no further business, the meeting is hereby declared close. Thank you very much for your attendance.
