At the general meeting of shareholders held today, Friday, 20 August 2010 (the "Meeting"), the ordinary and special resolutions proposed at the Meeting, details of which were contained in the Circular, were approved by the requisite majority of votes. The special resolutions will be lodged for registration with the Companies and Intellectual Property Registration Office in due course. The implementation of the MTN BEE Transaction remains conditional upon the fulfilment or waiver (where applicable) by 30 November 2010 of the conditions in the relevant transaction agreements, as set out in the Circular.
