Subsequent Events	20. Subsequent events Commencement of financial services restructuring in January 2022 The Company has incurred significant losses since its contract to distribute social grants expired in September 2018. A strategic imperative for the Company is to return its South African financial services business to breakeven and then profitability as soon as possible. As part of a cost optimization process completed in late calendar 2021, the Company performed a review of its labor structure and determined that a number of its defined employee roles would need to be terminated due to redundancy. The Company therefore determined to embark on a retrenchment process pursuant to Section 189A of the South African Labour Relations Act (“Labour Act”). The Section 189A process requires an employer, before retrenching, to consult with any person affected by the retrenchment process for 60 days and the Company commenced this process on January 10, 2022. Depending on the nature and outcome of the retrenchment process, the Company expects to incur cash costs during the third quarter of fiscal 2022 of between ZAR 85.0 million to ZAR 105.0 million, or USD 5.5 million to USD 6.7 million at the USD/ ZAR exchange rate of USD 1: ZAR 15.57, principally consisting of severance and related payments.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Sale Agreement, at the closing of the transaction, the Sellers shall receive consideration of ZAR 3.7 billion, after deducting an aggregate amount of ZAR 175.9 million representing awards to certain members of management, subject to certain adjustments. The ZAR 3.7 billion includes 3,065,883 shares of common stock to be issued in three tranches on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the closing. The Sale Agreement also includes a purchase price escalator that is intended to reflect an assumed increase in Enterprise Value (as defined in the Sale Agreement) from March 1, 2021, through closing at the rate of 3.05% per annum. The Sale Agreement includes customary covenants from the Sellers, including (i) to conduct the business in the ordinary course during the period between the execution of the Sale Agreement and the closing of the transactions contemplated thereby, and (ii) not to engage in certain kinds of transactions during such period. The closing of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including (i) approval from the competition authorities of South Africa, Namibia and Botswana, (ii) exchange control approval from the financial surveillance department of the South African Reserve Bank, and (iii) obtaining certain third-party consents.
