1. Implementation of the odd-lot offer                                          
   Shareholders are advised that the odd-lot offer to shareholders who held     
fewer than 100 shares in Illovo at the close of business on Friday, 2 August

   The total number of shares made available by those shareholders who elected  
to sell their odd-lot holdings and by those who failed to make an election (82  
374 shares), exceeded the total number of shares required by shareholders who   
elected to purchase sufficient additional shares to increase their odd-lot      
holdings to holdings of 100 shares
