DIRECTORS DEALINGS IN SECURITIES

In compliance with paragraphs 3.63 to 3.74 of the JSE Listings Requirements,
the following should be noted:

The Lewis 2022 Executive Retention Scheme – new awards

Senior executives who are invited to co-invest have earned an annual bonus and
have achieved the requisite performance targets set for them. These eligible
executives can elect to invest all or part of their net bonus in Lewis Group shares
(from 10% up to a maximum percentage set by the Remuneration Committee
("the Committee") for each executive which cannot exceed 100%).

In order to be invited to co-invest, the executives will be required to hold (or,
additionally, provide an irrevocable undertaking to hold) a beneficial interest in
respect of a prescribed number of Company shares as set out in the scheme
rules before such executive may be eligible to participate in the scheme.

These invested shares (i.e. shares acquired using the executive's net bonus) are
held on behalf of executives for a period of three years and matching shares
equal to the before tax bonus are awarded for no consideration at the end of the
period. The invested shares are purchased by the Lewis Employee Share
Incentive Scheme Trust on the open market, on behalf of executives.


The matching share award will lapse, should the executive terminate his or her
employment before the completion of the three-year period other than in the
event of death, ill-health, retirement or retrenchment.
The following executives elected on 18 July 2022 to invest a percentage of their
net bonus in the Company's shares and, consequently, matching share awards
were awarded to them under the Lewis 2022 Executive Retention Scheme:

The invested shares were allocated to the executives at a price of R 55.92, which
is the average purchase price of shares acquired between 12 July 2024 and 17
July 2024. The matching share awards will be received by the scheme participants
for no consideration.

All the transactions as set out above were for the direct benefit of the directors.
The requisite clearance has been obtained.
