following paragraph on emphasis of matter "We draw attention to note 1.2 to the financial
statements which describes the basis of preparing the financial statements. The company will
wind up its operations within the next 12 months as a result of the mandatory redemption of the
preference shares. In order to settle the outstanding debt, the company will have to utilise the
sale of its shares in the MTN Group Limited. The financial statements therefore have not been
prepared on a going concern basis. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter."
Participation and voting at the AGM.
Shareholders will have the opportunity to cast their votes electronically through the Proxy platform prior
to the meeting, or send in their proxy forms, or to participate in and/or vote online, using their

of the electronic meeting and valuable information to prepare Shareholders for electronic participation

Shareholders will be liable for their own network charges in relation to electronic participation in and/or
voting at the AGM. Any such charges will not be for the account of the JSE, the Company or any service
provider retained for purposes of hosting and/or facilitating the electronic AGM. None of the JSE, the
Company or any such service provider can be held accountable in the case of loss of network
connectivity or other network failure due to insufficient airtime, internet connectivity, internet bandwidth
and/or power outages which may prevent any such Shareholder from participating in and/or voting at
the AGM.
Notwithstanding the above, Shareholders are reminded that they are still able to vote normally through
proxy submission, despite deciding to participate either electronically or not at all in the AGM.

Attention to Shareholders
The Board wish to bring the following to the attention of shareholders.
1. The termination of the services of Nedgroup Private Wealth Stockbrokers Proprietary Limited will
take effect on 15 April 2024. The Company is in the process of appointing a new service provider
and will advise Shareholders in due course.
2. MTNZF is currently scheduled to unwind on Friday, 22 November 2024. Please ensure you have
completed your registration and that your contact details are up to date.
3. The Net Asset Value ("NAV") per MTN Zakhele Futhi share on 31 December 2023 was R 21.26
based on the MTN share price of R115.50 at the time. The NAV provides a guide as to the value of
each MTNZF share and is highly dependent on the MTN Group Limited share price.
The NAV will be zero when the share price is R82.86. This calculation is based on the outstanding
Preference share balance as at 31 December 2023 and outstanding Notional Vendor Finance as
at 31 December 2023. However, the calculation itself has not been reviewed or reported on by the
2
external auditors.
