Amendments to the BEE Transaction's shareholders agreements

Mediclinic International Limited
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)
(Registration number: 1983/010725/06)
ISIN: ZAE000074142
Share Code: MDC
(“Mediclinic” or “the Company”)

AMENDMENTS TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENTS BETWEEN MEDICLINIC AND MP1
INVESTMENT HOLDINGS PROPRIETARY LIMITED (PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS CIRCLE CAPITAL
VENTURES PROPRIETARY LIMITED) (“CCV”) AND MEDICLINIC AND PHODISO HOLDINGS
LIMITED ("PHODISO"), MEDICLINIC’S BLACK ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT (“BEE”) PARTNERS

Mediclinic wishes to announce that, pursuant to a condition imposed by the
South African Competition Commission in respect of the approval of Mediclinic
Southern Africa's involvement in the establishment of a new 174-bed hospital
in Centurion, certain exclusivity undertakings to Mediclinic contained in the
shareholders agreement pertaining to Mpilo Investment Holdings 2 (RF)
Proprietary Limited (“Mpilo 2”) between Mediclinic, Phodiso and Mpilo 2 in
relation to Mediclinic’s BEE transaction concluded with Phodiso during 2005,
were removed.

The shareholders agreement pertaining to Mpilo Investment Holdings 1 (RF)
Proprietary Limited (“Mpilo 1”) between Mediclinic, CCV and Mpilo 1, also
entered into in 2005 in relation to the Mediclinic’s BEE transaction,
contained similar exclusivity provisions. Although not required by the
Competition Commission, the relevant provisions were also removed.

The exclusivity undertakings contained in the shareholders agreements
precluded CCV and Phodiso from being involved in inter alia organisations
which compete with the Company's business and certain other healthcare
related businesses without the Company's consent.

The amendments to the shareholders agreements do not have a material impact
on Mediclinic or the nature or terms of the BEE transactions concluded with
CCV and Phodiso and do not require approval by Mediclinic’s shareholders. The
JSE Limited has confirmed that it has no objection to the amendments not
being referred back to the Company’s shareholders.
