BVT - The Bidvest Group Limited - Results of annual general meeting and general trading update The Bidvest Group Limited (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) Registration number 1946/021180/06 Share code: BVT ISIN: ZAE000050449 ("Bidvest") RESULTS OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND GENERAL TRADING UPDATE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Shareholders are advised that further to the Annual General Meeting held on November 7 2007, ordinary resolutions number 1 and 2 proposed in the notice to shareholders in regard to the placement of unissued shares of the company under the control of the directors and authorisation for the directors to issue ordinary shares for cash were withdrawn at the meeting in line with present corporate governance standards. Ordinary resolutions numbers 3, 6.1 to 6.9 and 7.1 and 7.2 and the special resolution number 1 were all passed without modification by the requisite majority of shareholders. The special resolution will be lodged with the Registrar of Companies for registration, in due course. GENERAL TRADING UPDATE Shareholders are advised that a general update on prevailing economic conditions was provided by management at the Annual General Meeting. Higher interest rates and slowing consumer spending and the strengthening of the rand are contributing to a more challenging business environment, particularly in the Bid Auto division. Management continue to focus on the achievement of above average returns and astute asset management to enable the Group to avail itself of such opportunities as and when they arise. The Group remains in sound financial shape and management remain confident of achieving real earnings growth for the year ending June 30 2008, albeit at lower growth levels than those achieved for the financial year ended June 2007.
