MTNZF Trading statement for the year ended 31 December 2024

MTNZF is currently in the process of finalising its results for the year ended 31 December 2024 (FY 24) and
provides this trading statement in accordance with paragraph 3.4(b)(i) of the JSE Limited Listings
Requirements (JSE Listings Requirements).

The JSE Listings Requirements require that issuers publish a trading statement as soon as they are satisfied
that a reasonable degree of certainty exists that the financial results for the period to be reported upon next
will differ by at least 20% from the financial results for the previous corresponding period.

Accordingly, due to the re-measurement of the derivative financial instrument from a loss for the year
ended 31 December 2023 (FY 23) to a gain in FY 24, shareholders are advised that MTNZF expects to report
an increase in earnings per share (EPS)/headline earnings per share (HEPS) against FY 23 of greater than
100%.

                FY 24 Expected            FY 23                  Change                Percentage Change

There are no items included in the calculation of profit attributable to shareholders which are required to
be excluded in terms of circular 1/2023, Headline Earnings, in the calculation of HEPS.

In addition, based on the change in the MTN Group Limited share price during FY 24, being R115.50 at 31
December 2023 and R91.99 at 31 December 2024, shareholders are further advised that MTNZF expects
to report a decrease in Net Asset Value per share (NAVPS) against FY 23 results of between (49)% and
(29)%.
