Trading Statement                                                               
In terms of paragraph 3.4(b) of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, a 
company is required to publish a trading statement as soon as it becomes        
reasonably certain that its financial results for the period to be reported on  
next will differ by 20% or more from those of the corresponding period of the   
previous year.  Nampak advises that for the six months ended 31 March 2009 its  
headline earnings per share and basic earnings per share are expected to be     
between 35% and 45% lower than the 109.9 and 110.4 cents per share respectively 
for the six months ended 31 March 2008.  This is mainly attributable to the     
release of a tax provision of R 102.7 million in the corresponding period of the
previous year and an after tax loss on the fair value of financial instruments  
of R45.4 million against a gain of R 75.3 million in the corresponding period of
the previous year .                                                             
Nampak expects its trading income for the same period to be between 0% and 5%   
higher than its trading income for the corresponding period in the previous year
The results in respect of the reporting period have not been reviewed or        
reported on by the Company`s auditors and are expected to be finalised and      
published on SENS on 21 May 2009.
