SCRIP DISTRIBUTION RATIO AND FINAL SALIENT DATES AND TIMES ANNOUNCEMENT
Shareholders are referred to the results announcement released on SENS on
Tuesday, 4 May 2010 and in the press on Wednesday, 5 May 2010, wherein notice
was given that directors resolved to issue new fully paid ordinary shares as a
scrip distribution to shareholders, recorded in the register of the Company at
the close of business on Friday, 13 August 2010, with a cash dividend election.
Shareholders are advised that the volume weighted average price of ordinary
shares on the JSE Limited ("JSE") during the 5-day trading period ended on
Tuesday, 27 July 2010 was 2722 cents (R27.22) per share.
Accordingly, the number of shares to which shareholders will be entitled will be
determined as follows:
* in the ratio that 115 cents per share multiplied by 1,10 bears to R27.22
per share, being the 5 day volume weighted average price ("VWAP") at the close
of business on Tuesday, 27 July 2010.
This equates to 4.64732 new Adcorp ordinary shares for every 100 shares held.
Shareholders wishing to participate in the cash dividend of 115 cents per share
in respect of all or part of their shareholding must elect to do so.
Shareholders not electing to receive the cash dividend of 115 cents per share
