LISTING DOCUMENT AVAILABLE AND TRADING OF DEBT INSTRUMENT ON MAIN BOARD         
Bondholders and shareholders are referred to the announcement made by           
Shoprite Holdings on 22 March 2012 ("Initial Announcement") regarding the       
placement by Shoprite Investments of ZAR4.5 billion fixed rate senior           
unsecured guaranteed convertible registered bonds ("the Debt Instruments").     
Following the placement on 22 March 2012, on 9 May 2012, an additional ZAR200   
million Debt Instruments, which will rank pari passu with the ZAR4.5 billion    
Debt Instruments already in issue, were issued. Accordingly, the total Debt     
Instruments placed amounts to ZAR4.7 billion.                                   
As stated in the Initial Announcement, an application for admission to          
trading of the Debt Instruments on the Main Board was made to the JSE Limited   
("JSE"). This application was formally approved today by the JSE. The listing   
document of the Debt Instruments ("Listing Document") is now available for      
inspection on the JSE website (www.jse.co.za) and on the Shoprite Holdings      
website (www.shopriteholdings.co.za). The Listing Document is also available    
for inspection at the registered office of Shoprite Investments.                
The last day to trade the Debt Instruments in their unlisted form (under Bond   
Code: SHPCBU, ISIN: ZAG000094020) on the Unexcor system will be Friday, 25      
May 2012. Any trade done on the Unexcor system on or before Friday, 25 May      
2012, will be settled in the week of 28 May 2012, with final positions for      
transfer being determined on Wednesday, 30 May 2012. The Debt Instruments to    
be traded on the Main Board, will be credited to the bondholders accounts       
with the CSDPs on Thursday, 31 May 2012.                                        
To ensure continuous trading, the Debt Instruments will be opened for trading   
on the JSE`s equity trading platform (under Stock Code: SHPCB, ISIN:            
ZAE000166997) on Monday, 28 May 2012. Please note that any trades concluded     
on or after 28 May 2012 will be settled on a T+5 basis.                         
The Debt Instruments will be traded in nominals of ZAR10,000 on the JSE`s       
equity trading platform. Consequently, each bondholder will be allocated by     
their respective CSDPs circa 100 new Debt Instruments of ZAR10,000 nominal      
each, for every unlisted Debt Instrument with a nominal of ZAR1 million.        
Investors should be aware that the new Debt Instruments will trade on a price   
basis and may or may not reflect the accrued interest in each Debt              
Instrument. The accrued interest to Monday, 28 May 2012 using the 6,5% fixed    
interest coupon is R100 and therefore the value of just the capital and         
accrued interest for the new Debt Instrument at this date is circa R10,100.
