Blue Label Telecoms Limited
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)
(Registration number 2006/022679/06)
Share code: BLU ISIN: ZAE000109088
("Blue Label" or "the Company")
DECLARATION ANNOUNCEMENT RELATING TO A PROPOSED CHANGE OF NAME, DISTRIBUTION OF A CIRCULAR AND NOTICE OF
GENERAL MEETING
1. Introduction
Shareholders are advised that, subject to receipt of the requisite Shareholder approval, the board of directors of
Blue Label (the "Board") proposes to change the Company's name from "Blue Label Telecoms Limited" to "Blu
Label Unlimited Group Limited" (the "Change of Name").
2. Rationale for the Change of Name
Blue Label is undergoing a significant restructuring process that involves the separation of its telecoms and non-
telecoms business units. In light of this strategic shift, the Board believes it is prudent for the Company's name to
reflect this new direction by omitting the reference to "telecoms." Furthermore, the adjustment of the term "Blue"
to the abbreviated form "Blu" aligns with the recent adoption of the trading name and logo "Blu" across various
marketing platforms. The Board has therefore resolved to recommend the Change of Name to the shareholders
of the Company ("Shareholders") for their approval, deeming it a more fitting representation of the Company's
evolving identity and business focus.
3. Details of the Change of Name
The name "Blu Label Unlimited Group Limited" has been reserved with Companies Intellectual Property
Commission ("CIPC") and the JSE Limited ("JSE") has, subject to the requisite Shareholder approval being
obtained and the filing and acceptance of the special resolutions with CIPC, approved the Change of Name. The
JSE long name and short name of the Company will change to "Blu Label Unlimited" and "Blu", respectively. The
JSE share code and ISIN will not change.
The Company will retain its history and will remain listed in the Telecoms sector on the Main Board of the JSE.
4. Distribution of Circular
A circular setting out details of the Change of Name will be distributed to Shareholders today (the "Circular").
The Circular is available on Blue Label's website at the following link:
