Ann: Change to Managing Director & CEO and Trading Update, page-2

As a shareholder that has had direct communications with Mr Carroll, I wish you sincerely the best. I have very much enjoyed my interactions with you and know that you have spent your time at G8 not only doing your best for shareholders, but for staff as well in what have been extremely difficult years through the pandemic.

Despite all of this, you have always responded to queries promptly and given clear answers when at all possible. Nothing you have ever said has made me question your motivations or the direction of the business. As a shareholder, it is a very sad day for me to know someone I have enjoyed supporting is moving on but thank you for doing so in a managed fashion. There are no years too many, if I could continue to support you with G8.

Gary, you are among a group of CEOs I grade all other CEOs on when looking at investment opportunities - because we cannot choose the hand we are given, but we can choose how we play the hand we have, the risks we take to grow and the steps we take to protect the business from its' internal and external challenges.

Thank you so much Gary, you are simply outstanding. Stay amazing good sir.
