significant organisational change.
This multi-year transformation journey
is necessary in order to properly realise

period for the company
▪The Board and the Management Team are united in the need
for cultural change, simplification of the business and focus on
operational excellence and risk management
▪We have taken action to address the immediate issues and
have set targets that will support long-term success:
̶Rightsizing the operational model through transformation
to deliver meaningful cost-out
̶Improvement in project performance by focusing on
operational excellence and a disciplined approach to risk
management
̶We will continue to engage with our investors on the
targets and timelines set
