MTN statement on the Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC) fine and related
issues and further cautionary announcement

MTN wishes to clarify and place on record that the company continues to engage constructively
with Nigerian authorities at all levels.

However, the company has noted, with concern, the speculation and false information in the
media. MTN particularly cautions against reports purporting that the company has agreed a
resolution with the NCC on the fine. It is false as no resolution has yet been reached. MTN
continues to engage the authorities in Nigeria on this matter.

To this end, all stakeholders are reminded that MTN will inform them of any material
developments in our engagements with Nigerian authorities via the Stock Exchange News
Service of the JSE Limited (SENS). Shareholders have also been asked to exercise caution when
reacting to information that has not been released by the company.

It is also important to note that MTN has operated in Nigeria for over a decade. In this time,
and as in the other markets where we have a presence, MTN has conducted its business in
accordance with established principles related to sound corporate governance.

As a company which owes its founding and growth to the emerging world, we are conscious of
our responsibility to invest in the growth of local economies and development of communities
wherever we operate. Nigeria is no different. Since launching more than a decade ago, we have
made significant investments in connecting customers to our network. We take these
responsibilities and obligations very seriously.

In conducting our business, MTN is always mindful that our growth has not only been due to the
success of our commercial propositions. We therefore remain committed to maintaining solid
partnerships with regulators, governments, communities and our markets, including in Nigeria,
to build a sustainable industry that contributes to the growth of local economies.

Shareholders are therefore advised to continue to exercise caution when dealing in the
Company’s securities until a further announcement is made.
