 4. Statement by the board of directors of Stellar Capital (the "Board")

    The Board has considered the effect of the General Repurchase and is of the opinion that, for a period of twelve
    months following the date of the General Repurchase:

    4.1. the Company and the Group will be able in the ordinary course of business to pay their debts;

    4.2. the assets of the Company and the Group will be in excess of the liabilities of the Company and the
         Group. For this purpose, the assets and liabilities were recognised and measured in accordance with the
         accounting policies used in the latest published financial statements of the Group;

    4.3. the share capital and reserves of the Company and the Group will be adequate for ordinary
         business purposes;

    4.4. the working capital of the Company and the Group will be adequate for ordinary business
         purposes; and

    4.5. 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.

5. Impact of the General Repurchase on financial information

   The Company’s cash balances decreased by R65 704 850 as a result of the General Repurchase. Interest
   receivable at rates of approximately 6.75% per annum (pre-tax) will be foregone on the cash resources
   used to fund this General Repurchase. The Repurchase will have the effect of reducing the number of
   shares in issue used for purposes of the net asset value per share, earnings per share and headline
   earnings per share calculations by 86 853 177 Shares.
