Shareholders are referred to the Bidvest announcement of the audited results for
the year ended June 30   2006, which were released on Monday September 4   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 final distribution
awarded to shareholders amounting to 207,0 cents per share will be increased to 
240,25 cents per share to all shareholders, excluding Dinatla, recorded in the  
register of the Company at the close of business on Friday September 29  2006.
