        29. Equity compensation benefits (continued)
            Stock option plan (continued)


            The plan provides that the maximum number of ordinary shares that may be purchased on the exercise of options is 7,950,650
            shares and the maximum entitlement for any one executive is no more than 50 percent of the shares comprising the plan.
            There is a three-year waiting period after the grant date of options before the grantee may exercise the right to purchase the
            shares represented by the options. The maximum period within which an option may be exercised is ten years.


            The option price shall be RFHL’s share price at the beginning of the performance period during which the option is earned.
            The price is calculated as the average closing share price on all trading days during the calendar month, prior to the beginning
            of the performance period. The process of assessment, calculation of options and approval by the Board of Directors takes
            place in the first quarter following the end of the financial year.

            The movement in outstanding options is outlined below:
