New Risk • May 22
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 5.7% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 5.7% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Declared Dividend • May 20

The dividend has decreased over the past 10 years, indicating a lack of growth and stability in payments. EPS is expected to grow by 13% over the next 2 years, which should provide support to the dividend and adequate earnings cover. Board Change • May 20
