Outlook

                    Unlikely to be any short term improvement in business confidence and corporate investment

                          Outside of South Africa, growth remains strong although currency and political risks remain elevated
Outlook

                             Growth in NAV likely to increase as the portfolio is c.80% invested

                             Investment pipeline remains strong but given the market conditions and lack of competition, focus remains on being
                             extremely selective on deals

                          Liquidity management remains a key focus but Board remains focused on ways to enhance shareholder value

                    Board continues to assess strategic options that could unlock value for shareholders

                                                                                                                                                  32
