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 year ending 30 September 2010, its   
headline earnings per share is expected to be between 70% and 90% higher than   
the 83.8 cents per share for the year ended 30 September 2009.  Basic earnings  
per share is expected to be between 290% and 310% higher than the 34.9 cents per
share for the year ended 30 September 2009. Operating profit for the same period
is expected to be between 130% and 150% higher than operating income for the    
corresponding period in the previous year.                                      
This is mainly due to improved trading results in the corrugated division and   
the Leeds UK cartons business in comparison to the same period last year. In    
addition, major impairments of assets and significant restructure costs in the  
4th quarter of last year, are not expected to be repeated.                      
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  22 November 2010.
