Shareholders are referred to the Bidvest announcement of the unaudited results  
for the half year ended December 31  2005, which were released on Monday        
February 27  2006.                                                              
In terms of the scheme of arrangement proposed by Dinatla Investment Holdings   
(Pty) Limited ("Dinatla") between The Bidvest Group Limited and its             
shareholders, which was sanctioned by the High Court on November 18  2003,      
Dinatla acquired approximately 15% of the shares of scheme participants on the  
basis that for a period of three years ending on December 8 2006, all normal    
dividends and distributions in respect of the shares so acquired will accrue to 
the scheme participants or their successors. Accordingly, the distribution      
awarded to shareholders amounting to 162,0 cents per share will be increased to 
188,28 cents per share to all shareholders, excluding Dinatla, recorded in the  
register of the Company at the close of business on Friday March 24 2006.
