Cautionary announcement                                                         
Shareholders are advised that Bidvest has recently received various unsolicited 
proposals relating to its Foodservice Business.                                 
Bidvest believes that the Foodservice Business is an attractive business with   
strong growth prospects.  However, in light of the proposals received, the Board
of Bidvest has appointed a sub-committee to undertake a strategic review of the 
Foodservice Business and to explore whether any of the proposals would optimise 
value for Bidvest shareholders.                                                 
Bidvest shareholders are advised to exercise caution in dealing in their Bidvest
shares until a further announcement is made.                                    
By order of the Board
