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

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
