In compliance with the JSE Limited Listings Requirements,
shareholders are advised of the following off-market acceptances of
options and shares in respect of ordinary shares on 29 November

Following a review of the long-term incentive schemes in operation
by external remuneration specialists, the Company was advised that
it is beneficial to have more than one scheme in operation.
Accordingly, the Mr Price Executive Forfeitable Share Plan ("EFSP")
was introduced in November 2013, with full details being provided
in the F2014 Annual Integrated Report. As per the share option
schemes, the EFSP operates in a rolling manner.
In order to ensure that the same cost to the Company was
maintained, the number of options awarded in total was reduced to
the numbers above to allow for a 'vanilla' allocation of EFSP's.
These forfeitable shares vest in five years, subject to certain
employment criteria being met, at a strike price of R nil.
In addition, an equivalent 'performance based' forfeitable share
award was also made. The shares vest in five years at a strike
price of R nil, subject to the attainment of performance criteria
linked to the Group's five-year strategic plan.
Participants in the EFSP receive voting rights and dividends during
the vesting period.
Name Total number of Share price on Total value of

Mark Blair 10 242 R229.4735 R2 350 267
Steve Ellis 3 634 R229.4735 R833 907
The nature of interest for all the persons concerned is direct
beneficial and the grant was authorised by the Remuneration and
Nominations Committee and clearance obtained from the Lead
Independent Director. All offers were accepted on 29 November
2014.
