* During February 2023 (subsequent to HY2023), 384,615,384 rights issue shares were issued at R1.30 per rights offer share.
  Such shares were issued in the ratio of 227 rights offer shares for every 100 EOH ordinary shares held at the close of
  trade on 27 January 2023. As the rights issue price per share (R1.30) was below the fair value of the shares on the
  effective date (R2.90), a bonus element is inherent in the rights offer. This is determined as the fair value per share
  before the exercise of rights as a proportion of the theoretical ex-rights value per share and has been taken into account
  as an adjustment when restating earnings/loss per share and headline earnings/loss per share for the current and prior
  period. HY2023 reported numbers above are therefore after incorporating the bonus element of shares of 102,619,561.
  The HY2022 has also been restated by the same bonus element of shares of 102,619,561 as required by International Financial
  Reporting Standards ("IFRS").

^ FY2022 numbers have been remeasured using the same weighted average shares outstanding as was used in the
  reported HY2023 and restated HY2022 numbers, to ensure comparability.
