MTN Group Limited
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)
Registration number 1994/009584/06
Share code: MTN ISIN: ZAE000042164
("MTN")
RESULTS OF THE OFFER TO MEMBERS OF THE BLACK PUBLIC TO SUBSCRIBE FOR ORDINARY
SHARES IN MTN ZAKHELE LIMITED
1. INTRODUCTION
Members of the Black Public were invited to apply for ordinary shares ("MTN
Zakhele Shares") in MTN Zakhele Limited ("MTN Zakhele") in terms of the
Prospectus issued by MTN Zakhele on 30 August 2010 ("Prospectus").
A total of 80,900,000 MTN Zakhele Shares were offered to members of the Black
Public at R20 per share.
As announced in a media release on 21 October 2010, the response to the MTN
Zakhele Black Economic Empowerment public offer ("MTN Zakhele Offer") was very
positive and MTN has achieved its objectives of creating a truly broad-based
empowerment transaction.
MTN Zakhele has now completed a detailed reconciliation process and can confirm
that R2.78 billion was raised from the Black Public and applications were 1.7
times subscribed.
MTN Zakhele Shares were allotted and issued by MTN Zakhele to successful
applicants on 24 November 2010. Information will be posted to all applicants on
or about 29 November 2010 to inform them, inter alia, of the status of their
applications, including, where applicable, the extent to which their
applications were accepted and the number of shares that were allotted and
issued to them. To the extent that applications were not accepted, refunds
together with interest on such refunds, as described in more detail in paragraph
4 below, will be paid on or about 3 December 2010.
2. BASIS OF ALLOCATION
One of MTN`s primary objectives with respect to the MTN Zakhele Offer was to
achieve truly broad-based empowerment. In order to achieve this objective, the
allocation process adopted a "bottom up" approach, starting with applications
for the minimum number of MTN Zakhele Shares and with a priority for Black
individuals ("Black People").
All valid applications for subscription amounts between R2,000 (100 MTN Zakhele
Shares) and R25,000 (1,250 MTN Zakhele Shares), inclusive, were accepted in
full. In respect of valid applications for subscription amounts in excess of
R25,000, applicants were allocated R25,000 worth of MTN Zakhele Shares plus a
percentage of the balance of the MTN Zakhele Shares applied for. In addition,
Black People who were RICA-compliant customers of MTN and who did not get their
full allocation, received a preferential allocation of up to an additional 200
MTN Zakhele Shares (i.e. a subscription amount of R4,000). As a result,
approximately 94% of all applicants, received all of the MTN Zakhele Shares that
they applied for. On a simple average basis, the percentage by which the
applications in excess of R25,000 have been accepted amounts to 49% of the
balance of MTN Zakhele Shares applied for. The actual percentage will vary
depending on the size of the application.
The allocations methodology and principles were determined by an independent sub
committee of the MTN board (i.e. independent non-executive directors of MTN who
had not directly or indirectly applied for MTN Zakhele Shares) and the
allocations effected by the MTN Zakhele board, in consultation with the sub-
committee, and in accordance with the methodology and principles determined by
the sub-committee. Furthermore, PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc and SizweNtsaluba
VSP, the auditors of MTN Zakhele, are in the process of performing procedures
agreed with management around the allocation process as part of the agreed upon
procedures performed in accordance with the International Standard on Related
Services (ISRS) 4400 "Engagements to Perform Agreed-upon Procedures Regarding
Financial Information" in relation to the MTN Zakhele Offer.
