ACTION REQUIRED BY LIGHTHOUSE SHAREHOLDERS

The definitions and interpretations commencing on page 11 of this Circular apply to this section.

If you have disposed of all your Shares in Lighthouse, this Circular (together with the attached notice of General Meeting, Form of Proxy, and Form of Election) should be handed to the purchaser of such Shares or to the CSDP, broker, custodian, banker or other agent through whom the disposal was effected.

Lighthouse does not accept responsibility and will not be held liable for any failure on the part of the CSDP, broker or custodian of any holder of dematerialised or Certified Shares to notify such Shareholder of the contents of this Circular.

THE BUY-BACK OFFER

On 26 July 2021, it was announced that the Board had resolved to apply to the SEM for the voluntary withdrawal of Lighthouse from the SEM Official Market. The Board further announced a Buy-back Offer to Shareholders on the Mauritian Register who do not wish to retain their Lighthouse Shares in Certified form. Accordingly, Shareholders on the Mauritian Register may elect either to accept the Buy-back Offer or to continue holding their shares in Certified form.

ALL SHAREHOLDERS RECORDED ON THE SOUTH AFRICAN REGISTER

The Buy-back Offer does not pertain to Shareholders on the South African Register and these shareholders do not need to take any action in this regard.

ALL SHAREHOLDERS RECORDED ON THE MAURITIAN REGISTER

Should you elect to accept the Buy-back Offer, regardless of being a Certified or Dematerialised Shareholder, you shall on Thursday, 28 October 2021, receive the Buy-back Consideration. In respect of all Shareholders on the Mauritian Share Register, the Buy-back Offer payment will be made by electronic funds transfer.

Shareholders who/which do not elect to accept the Buy-back Offer will, without any action on their part, be deemed to have chosen to hold their Shares in Certified form. Share Certificates will be mailed to Shareholders who do not accept the Buy-back Offer by registered mail at such Shareholders' risk.

Shareholders may choose the number of Shares they own for which the Buy-back Offer is elected. Instructions for completing the Election Form and the relevant return address are given on the Election Form.

All times indicated below are local times in the country to which they refer.

SHAREHOLDERS ARE ADVISED THAT NO RELATED PARTIES (AS DEFINED IN THE JSE LISTINGS REQUIREMENTS) WILL BE ENTITLED TO ACCEPT THE BUY-BACK OFFER

Note:

If you are in any doubt as to the action you should take, please consult your CSDP, stockbroker, banker, legal advisor, accountant, investment dealer or other professional advisor immediately.

Lighthouse does not accept responsibility and shall not be held liable for any failure on the part of the CSDP, stockbroker, banker or other agent of a shareholder to notify such Shareholder of the proposals set out in this Circular.

THE GENERAL MEETING

A notice convening a General Meeting of Lighthouse Shareholders, to be held at 12:00 Mauritian time (10:00 SA time) on Wednesday, 29 September 2021 at the registered office of Lighthouse, C1-401, 4th Floor, La Croisette, Grand Baie, Mauritius, to consider and, if deemed fit, approve with or without modification the resolutions necessary to implement the actions proposed by this Circular, is attached to and forms part of this Circular.

Please note that any Shareholder of the Company that is a Company may authorise any person to act as its representative at the General Meeting.

The quorum for the General Meeting is persons holding at least 25% of all voting rights that are entitled to be exercised on each resolution proposed to be passed at the General Meeting by Shareholders (but not less than three Shareholders) present in person or represented by proxy at the General Meeting.


Every Shareholder present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote shall, in his capacity as Shareholder, on a show of hands, have only one vote irrespective of the number of Shares he holds or represents. On a poll, every Shareholder present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote, shall be entitled to one vote per issued share held by such Shareholder.

In order to more effectively record the votes and give effect to the intentions of the Shareholders, voting on all resolutions will be conducted by way of a poll.

SECTION ONE – THE REDOMICILE, CHANGE OF NAME, DELISTING AND ADOPTION OF AN INTERIM CONSTITUTION

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

Shareholders are referred to the announcement released on the website of the SEM and on SENS on Monday, 26 July 2021 wherein Shareholders were informed of, inter alia, the adoption of a Memorandum and Articles of Association in compliance with the Companies Act of Malta, the approval of the Redomicile of Lighthouse to Malta, the voluntary Delisting of Lighthouse from the SEM Official Market with an accompanying Buy-back Offer to Shareholders holding Shares on the Mauritian Register and the adoption of an Interim Constitution.

1.2 History

Lighthouse was established in Mauritius and listed on the SEM on 30 January 2015 and on the AltX on 27 November 2015. The Company's AltX Listing was migrated to the Main Board of the JSE on 29 March 2017.

1.3 Nature of business

Lighthouse is a hybrid property investment company that strives to deliver both capital and distribution growth to its Shareholders by investing in European direct property assets, as well as globally in listed real estate and infrastructure securities with competitive yields that have the prospect of capital growth.

1.4 Purpose of this Circular

1.4.1 The purpose of this Circular is to provide Lighthouse Shareholders with information relating to the Redomicile and name change, the Delisting and the adoption of the Interim Constitution, and the manner in which these will be implemented, so as to enable Shareholders to make an informed decision as to whether or not they should vote in favour thereof; and

1.4.2 to give notice convening the General Meeting at which the resolutions necessary to approve and implement the Redomicile and name change, the Delisting and adoption of the Interim Constitution, as more fully detailed in this Circular, will be considered and, if deemed fit, approved with or without modification. The notice convening the General Meeting of Lighthouse Shareholders is attached to and forms part of this Circular.

2. RATIONALE FOR THE REDOMICILE AND DELISTING

2.1 Lighthouse has identified investment opportunities within Europe which are in line with the stated investment strategy of the Company as disclosed in paragraph 1.3 above, and has commenced implementing this strategy with the recently announced acquisition of a portfolio of four dominant retail centres in France.

2.2 In order to effectively pursue and implement these investment opportunities, as well as improve access to European debt and equity capital markets, the Board has resolved to redomicile the Company to Malta, a European Union jurisdiction, and to proceed with the SEM Delisting. It is expected that the Delisting will be completed on or around 29 October 2021, subject to the approval of the SEM subsequent to the General Meeting.

2.3 The Delisting is motivated by the following factors:

2.3.1 The Company currently has 1,570,079,430 ordinary shares in issue. Of these, only 6,979,726 Shares (comprising 0.44% of the issue share capital of Lighthouse) are held on the Mauritian Register. The Shares held on the Mauritian Register rarely trade, resulting in practically no liquidity on the SEM. In addition, this hinders the Company's ability to raise capital on the SEM, which is the primary reason for being listed i.e. access to equity capital.

2.3.2 The maintenance of a Mauritian Register with little trade and limited access to capital markets places an additional level of administrative and financial burden on the Company and its Directors.

2.4 Should Shareholders approve the Redomicile and the Delisting, the registered office of the Company will be relocated to Malta. The Company will retain its listing on the JSE Main Board.

3. APPROVAL OF THE REDOMICILE, ADOPTION OF THE MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION AND CHANGE OF NAME

3.1 In order to redomicile to Malta, Shareholder approval is required to approve the Redomicile.

3.2 Subject to and conditional upon the above, Shareholder approval is also required to adopt a new memorandum and articles of association (which constitutional documents must be in compliance with the Companies Act of Malta) and to change the name of the Company to "Lighthouse Properties plc", which is to take effect upon the Redomicile becoming effective. A timetable with regard to the name change will be published on SENS as soon as certainty exists as to the effective date of the name change.

3.3 Salient features of the Memorandum and Articles of Association are included in Annexure 3 to this Circular.

4. THE BUY-BACK OFFER

4.1 More than 99% of Lighthouse Shareholders currently hold their Shares on the South African Register, with a small number of Shareholders holding their Shares on the Mauritian Register.

4.2 As a consequence of the Delisting, and in terms of the general authority to repurchase shares granted by Shareholders at the annual general meeting of Lighthouse held on 30 April 2021, the Company will offer those Shareholders holding their Shares on the Mauritian Register, an election with regard to either accepting the Buy-back Offer or rematerialising their Shares and subsequent to the Delisting, holding their Shares in Certificated form. Shares can, however, only be traded in electronic format, and any Shareholders holding Shares in Certificated form will be required to Dematerialise those Shares onto the South African Register prior to being able to trade in their Shares.

4.3 The Buy-back Offer will be made to Shareholders holding their Shares on the Mauritian Register as per the disclosure in Annexure 1 to this Circular.

4.4 Shareholders holding their Shares on the Mauritian Register who do not make an election, will be deemed not to have accepted the Buy-back Offer and will continue to hold their Shares in Certificated form.

4.5 Those Shareholders who do not wish to continue to hold Shares in Certificated form but would prefer to accept the Buy-back Offer are referred to page 7 of this Circular which sets out the action required by them in this regard.

4.6 Should all Shareholders on the Mauritian Register elect to accept the Buy-back Offer, the stated capital of Lighthouse will reduce by up to EUR 1,582,930 and the total payment to Shareholders on the Mauritian Register will be up to EUR 730,000.


4.7 Shareholders holding 5 332 805 Shares (as detailed below) on the Mauritian Register who are classified as related parties to Lighthouse in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements, have provided undertakings not to accept the Buy-back Offer. A maximum of 1 656 921 Shares, representing 0.11% of the total issued share capital of Lighthouse as at the Last Practicable Date, are therefore eligible to accept the Buy-back Offer.

Shareholder Number of shares
The Thistle Trust 85 506
N Hanekom 3 740 032
JJ Kriek 1 497 267
TOTAL 5 322 805

There are no other related parties holding shares on the Mauritian Register. The structure of the timetable with regard to the Buy-back Offer will prevent any potential further related parties from holding shares on the Mauritian Register prior to and after the General Meeting.

4.8 The Board of Lighthouse, after considering the effects of the Buy-back Offer, is of the opinion that:

4.8.1 the Company and the Group will be in a position to repay their debts in the ordinary course of business for a period of 12 months after the date of the approval of this Circular;

4.8.2 the assets of the Company and the Group, fairly valued in accordance with IFRS, are in excess of the liabilities of the Company and the Group for a period of 12 months after the date of the approval of this Circular;

4.8.3 the ordinary share capital and reserves of the Company and the Group are adequate for a period of 12 months after the date of the approval of this Circular; and

4.8.4 the available working capital is adequate to continue the operations of the Company and the Group for a period of 12 months from the date of the approval of this Circular.

4.9 Additional information required to be disclosed with regard to the Buy-back Offer in terms of the Mauritian Securities (Purchase of Own Shares) Rules 2008, being the information ordinarily contained in an Explanatory Statement, is included as Annexure 1 to this Circular.

  1. ADOPTION OF AN INTERIM CONSTITUTION

5.1 Lighthouse's Constitution contains a number of references to the SEM and SEM Rules. As it is anticipated that the Delisting will be effective prior to the Redomicile, Lighthouse will require an Interim Constitution which contains no references to the SEM or SEM Rules. The Interim Constitution will, however, only be effective subsequent to the approval and finalisation of the Delisting by the SEM, which Delisting is anticipated to be on or about Friday, 29 October 2021. Shareholders will be updated via SENS with regard to the effective date of the Redomicile..

5.2 The salient features of the Interim Constitution are set out in Annexure 2 to this Circular.

  1. ADDITIONAL PROCEDURAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS WITH REGARD TO THE REDOMICILE

6.1 Amongst others, the Redomicile will be subject to the passing of the equivalent of an extraordinary (special) resolution in terms of the Companies Act of Malta approving the Company's continuation under the laws of Malta, whereby Lighthouse transfers its registered office from Mauritius to Malta whilst retaining its legal identity. The resolutions concerning the Redomicile, as well as that concerning the adoption of a new memorandum and articles of association, which includes the Company's change of name, are to be proposed to the Shareholders at the General Meeting

6.2 Upon the passing of the aforementioned resolutions and confirmation of the satisfaction of the Maltese Registrar with regard to the Company's application to redomicile to Malta, the MBR shall issue a provisional certificate of continuation.

6.3 Within six months of the date of issuance of the provisional certificate, the Company is to obtain and submit evidence to the MBR that Lighthouse has ceased to be registered in Mauritius. Once this has been submitted, the MBR will issue a certificate of continuation dated as at the date of the provisional certificate. With effect from such date, the Company shall be deemed to be registered in Malta and shall be subject to the Companies Act of Malta.


SECTION TWO: APPROVALS REQUIRED AND GENERAL MEETING

7. APPROVALS REQUIRED

7.1 The approval of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, SEM Delisting and adoption of the Interim Constitution, are all subject to Shareholder approval. The following resolutions will be put to Shareholders for approval at the General Meeting:

7.1.2 subject to and conditional upon the approval of the Redomicile, a special resolution authorising the adoption of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, subject to any changes as may be required by the MBR and/or the Malta Financial Services Authority in order to implement the Redomicile and a change of name of the Company, to take effect upon the Redomicile becoming effective;

7.1.3 a special resolution of Shareholders to approve the Delisting in terms of the SEM Rules and subject to SEM approval, which resolution requires a minimum of 75% of Shareholders present in person or by proxy voting in favour of the resolution and less than 5% of Shareholders present in person or by proxy voting against the resolution, in order for the resolution to pass;

7.1.4 a special resolution authorising the adoption of the Interim Constitution post the Delisting;

7.1.5 a special resolution authorising the implementation of the Buy-back offer; and

7.1.6 an ordinary resolution, inter alia, authorising the Company do all such things as may be necessary to give full effect to the resolutions passed at the General Meeting.

7.2 The votes of those Shareholders holding their Shares on the Mauritian Register will be taken into account when determining a quorum for the General Meeting, but will not be taken into account when determining whether the resolution as described in paragraph 7.1.5 has been passed by the requisite number of Shareholders, being 75% of Shareholders present in person or by proxy at the General Meeting.

7.3 Those Directors who hold a beneficial interest in Lighthouse Shares intend voting in favour of all resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting.

Annexure 1

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT TO LIGHTHOUSE SHAREHOLDERS REGARDING THE BUY-BACK OFFER

Shareholders are referred to the Notice of Annual General Meeting dated 18 March 2021, which contained, amongst others, a special resolution with regard to granting authority to the Company to repurchase its own shares (the "Repurchase Resolution"), and which resolution was proposed to and approved by Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") held on 30 April 2021.

As a result of the Redomicile, as more fully described in the Circular, Shareholders holding their Shares on the Mauritian Register will be able to elect either to hold their Shares in Certified form, or to accept the Buy-back Offer. Accordingly, the board of directors of Lighthouse (the "Board") has prepared the following Explanatory Statement in accordance with the Mauritian Securities (Purchase of Own Shares) Rules 2008 (the "Buy-back Rules").

  1. The Board approved the Buy-back Offer on 5 August 2021. In terms of the Board Resolution in this regard, the Board will offer to repurchase all Shares held on the Mauritian Register as at Friday, 24 September 2021, being 9760535 Shares of the Company (the "Buy-back Shares"), representing 62320679 $0.78\%$ of the issued share capital of the Company.
  2. The Board is of the opinion that it is in the best interest of Shareholders registered on the Mauritian Register who do not wish to transfer their shares to the JSE register or hold their Shares in Certified form, to accept the Buy-back Offer.
  3. The Buy-back Offer will be open for acceptances from Monday, 4 October 2021 until Friday, 22 October 2021.
  4. It is proposed that the Buy-back Shares held on the Mauritian Register be repurchased by the Company at a price calculated based on the prevailing JSE market price at the time of the Buy-back and at not more than $5\%$ above the weighted average of the market value of the shares for the five business days immediately preceding the date that the repurchase is effected.

Once the price has been determined using the above mentioned mechanism, the relevant foreign exchange rate shall be applied to determine the equivalent Buy-back price in EUR that shall be proposed to Shareholders on the Mauritian register.

  1. The Company may repurchase all or any of the Buy-back Shares.
  2. It is intended that the funds required for the Buy-back Offer will be provided from Lighthouse's existing cash resources. There will be brokerage fees and other costs, fees and charges incurred during the Buy-back Offer.
  3. The Company will proceed with the Buy-back Offer pursuant to the Buyback Rules. Lighthouse will not repurchase any shares during a prohibited period as defined in the JSE Listings Requirements. In line with Buy-back Rules, Lighthouse will also not repurchase any Shares within 15 days prior to the publication of any financial results.
  4. There has been no offer to sell Shares to the Company by any member of the Board or any substantial shareholder (to the best of the Board's knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries).
  5. Audited annual financial statements for the previous three financial years are included in Annexure 4 to the Circular.
  6. Set out in the table below is the Company's share capital structure as at 24 August 2021, the last practicable date prior to the finalisation of this Explanatory Statement to Shareholders.

SOLVENCY REPORT

19 August 2021

The Board of Directors
Lighthouse Capital Limited
C1-401, 4th Floor
La Croisette
Grand Baie
MAURITIUS

Dear Sirs

REPORT IN CONNECTION WITH SECTION 6 OF THE SCHEDULE TO THE SECURITIES (PURCHASE OF OWN SHARES) RULES 2008 RELATING TO REPORT TO THE DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY BY THE AUDITORS

We have performed the procedures agreed with you and enumerated below to provide Lighthouse Capital Limited (Lighthouse) (the Company) a report to the Board of Directors in connection with the planned share buy-back of 9 760 535 shares which will occur during the financial year ending 31 December 2021 in accordance with the Mauritian Securities Act 2005. Our engagement was undertaken in accordance with the International Standard on Related Services ISRS 4400 applicable to agreed-upon procedures engagements. The procedures were performed solely to report on the Company's compliance in connection with the share buy-back and are summarised as follows:

  1. Inquire with management on the Company's state of affairs as at the date of the commencement of the share buy-back. The state of affairs would include:
    (a) Statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021;
    (b) Cash flow projections for the period 1 July 2021 to 31 December 2022 as provided by management.

  2. Inquire with management whether they have formed the opinion on reasonable ground and that the Company will not, having regard to its state of affairs, be rendered insolvent within a period of one year as from the date of commencement of the share buy-back;

  3. Inquire with management on the grounds of their assessment for forming their opinion mentioned in item 2 above; and

  4. Obtain written representation from the Board of Directors that they have performed their assessment on reasonable grounds and are of the opinion that the Company will not be rendered insolvent within a period of one year as from the date of the commencement of the share buy-back.


We report our findings below:

With respect to item 1, we inquired with Management on the Company's state of affairs as at the date of the commencement of the share buy-back. We were provided with the unaudited state of affairs of the Company as at 30 June 2021 which were as follows:

| | 30 June 2021
Unaudited |
| --- | --- |
| Key financial indicators | EUR |
| Total assets | 466,586,330 |
| Total liabilities | 4,159,528 |
| Capital and reserves | 462,426,802 |

We obtained representation from management that the state of affairs of the Company has not deteriorated by the date of the commencement of the Share Buyback.

With respect to items 2 and 3, we inquired with the Board of Directors that they have formed the opinion on reasonable grounds and that the Company will not, having regard to its state of affairs, be rendered insolvent within a period of one year from the date of the commencement of the Share Buyback. We were provided with a projected cash flow from 1 July 2021 to 31 December 2022, which included the payment of the Share Buyback.

Based on the projected cash flow, we did not come across any matter that would render the Company insolvent within a period of one year as from the date of commencement of the Share Buyback. We did not come across any unusual items in the projected cash flows. Actual results may be different from the forecast since anticipated events may not occur as expected and the variation may be material.

Management stated that the Buy-back Offer will be open for acceptances from Monday, 4 October 2021 until Friday, 22 October 2021.

With respect to item 4, we have obtained the relevant representation from the Board of Directors.

Because the procedures did not constitute either an audit or a review made in accordance with International Standards on Auditing or International Financial Reporting Standards on Review Engagements, we do not express any assurance on the above.

Our report is solely for the purpose set forth in the first paragraph of this report and for your information and is not to be used for any other purpose. BDO & Co assumes no responsibility whatsoever in respect of or arising out of or in connection with the contents of this certificate to third parties.

The fair value loss on investment property primarily relates to increases in exit capitalisation rates and discount rates on forecast property income, resulting from the market impact of Covid-19.
  2. The Group's listed securities investments are fair valued at each financial reporting date, based on quoted prices on recognised stock exchanges. The fair value loss in the current period is mainly as a result of decreases in the share prices of investments, brought about by the market-impact of Covid-19.
  3. The increase in the fair value loss on derivatives is primarily as a result of a EUR 28.3 million bookbuild derivative recognised (as required by IFRS) related to the Company's capital raises during 2020.
  4. The impairment loss relates to the impairment of goodwill, which has been triggered by a decrease in the fair value of the related underlying property value.
  5. The group's investment in Hammerson plc was equity-accounted from 30 September 2020, as required by IFRS. Accordingly, the group's pro rata share of Hammerson's loss for the period ended 31 December 2020 has been included in the results. The Group had no investment in Hammerson in the prior periods.

You must not complete the attached form of proxy. The instructions must be provided in accordance with the mandate between yourself and your CSDP or broker, within the time period required by your CSDP or broker;
  • CSDPs or brokers or their nominees, as the case may be, recorded in the Company's sub-register as holders of dematerialised Shares should, when authorised in terms of their mandate or instructed to do so by the owner on behalf of whom they hold dematerialised Shares, vote by either appointing a duly authorised representative to attend and vote at the General Meeting or by completing the attached form of proxy in accordance with the instructions thereon and return it to the Company Secretary, by no later than 12:00 Mauritian time (10:00 South African time) on Monday, 27 September 2021.

NOTES TO THE FORM OF PROXY

  1. Any alteration or correction made to this form of proxy must be initialed by the signatory(ies).

  2. Members that are own-name dematerialised Shareholders or hold ordinary shares in certificated form are entitled to attend and vote at the General Meeting may insert the name of a proxy or the names of two alternative proxies of the member's choice in the space(s) provided, with or without deleting "the chairperson of the General Meeting", but any such deletion must be initialed by the Shareholder(s). Such proxy(ies) may participate in, speak and vote at the General Meeting in the place of that Shareholder at the General Meeting. The person whose name stands first on the form of proxy and who is present at the General Meeting will be entitled to act as proxy to the exclusion of those whose names follow. If no proxy is named on a lodged form of proxy the chairperson shall be deemed to be appointed as the proxy.

  3. A member's instructions to the proxy must be indicated by the insertion of the relevant number of votes exercisable by the member in the appropriate box(es) provided. Failure to comply with the above will be deemed to authorise the proxy, in the case of any proxy other than the chairperson, to vote or abstain from voting as deemed fit and in the case of the chairperson to vote in favour of the resolution.

  4. A member or his/her proxy is not obliged to use all the votes exercisable by the member, but the total of the votes cast or abstained may not exceed the total of the votes exercisable in respect of the Shares held by the member.

  5. A Shareholder may revoke the proxy appointment by (i) cancelling it in writing, or making a later inconsistent appointment of a proxy; and (ii) delivering a copy of the revocation instrument to the proxy, and to the Company. The revocation of a proxy appointment constitutes a complete and final cancellation of the proxy's authority to act on behalf of the Shareholder as at the later of the date stated in the revocation instrument, if any; or the date on which the revocation instrument was delivered in the required manner.

  6. A vote given in terms of an instrument of proxy shall be valid in relation to the General Meeting notwithstanding the death of the person granting it or the transfer of the Shares in respect of which the vote is given, unless an intimation in writing of such death or transfer is received by the Company Secretary not less than 48 hours before the commencement of the General Meeting.

  7. The chairperson of the General Meeting may reject or accept any form of proxy which is completed and/or received otherwise than in compliance with these notes, provided that, in respect of acceptances, the chairperson is satisfied as to the manner in which the member concerned wishes to vote.

  8. The completion and lodging of this form of proxy will not preclude the relevant member from attending the General Meeting and speaking and voting in person thereat to the exclusion of any proxy appointed in terms hereof, should such member wish to do so.

  9. Documentary evidence establishing the authority of a person signing this form of proxy in a representative capacity must be attached to this form of proxy, unless previously recorded by the Company or the Company Secretary or waived by the chairperson of the General Meeting.

  10. A minor or any other person under legal incapacity must be assisted by his/her parent or guardian, as applicable, unless the relevant documents establishing his/her capacity are produced or have been registered by the Company or the Company Secretary.

  11. Where there are joint holders of Shares, the vote of the first joint holder who tenders a vote, as determined by the order in which the names stand in the register of members, will be accepted and only that holder whose name appears first in the register in respect of such Shares need to sign this form of proxy.
