Unless defined in this announcement or if the context dictates otherwise, capitalised terms used in

1.    INTRODUCTION

1.1         MTNZ Shareholders are referred to the announcements released by the Company on
            the SENS on 22 August 2016, 12 October 2016 and 17 October 2016 in relation to the
            unwinding of MTN Zakhele in November 2016.

1.2         MTNZ Shareholders are hereby advised that all of the conditions in relation to the New
            Empowerment Transaction have been fulfilled (or deemed fulfilled) or waived.

1.3         As detailed in the Announcement, the Scheme is subject to the fulfilment or waiver of
            the condition that no Enforcement Action is taken by the MTNZ Pref Share holders at or
            prior to the redemption, in full, of the MTNZ Pref Shares in accordance with the
            Implementation Agreement. This is the last remaining condition to which the Scheme is
            subject.

1.4         As a result of the fulfilment or waiver of the conditions set out in paragraph 1.2 above
            and in the absence of any Enforcement Action being taken at or prior to redemption of
            the MTNZ Pref Shares on 24 November 2016, MTN Zakhele will proceed with the MTNZ
            Integrated Unwinding with a resultant Operative Date of Thursday, 24 November 2016.

1.5         MTNZ Shareholders are referred to the announcement published by MTN on 22
            November 2016 simultaneously with this announcement.

2.    RESULTS OF THE ELECTION PROCESS

2.1         In consideration for the repurchase (and cancellation) of their MTNZ Shares, MTNZ
            Shareholders elected (or are deemed to have elected) to receive one or a combination
            of the following Scheme Considerations based on their respective pro rata entitlement
            to the MTNZ Net Assets:

                    2.1.1     MTNZ Shareholders holding 28 326 490 MTNZ Shares elected to receive
                              MTN Consideration Shares;

                    2.1.2     MTNZ Shareholders holding 39 082 386 MTNZ Shares elected to receive
                              the Cash Consideration; and

                    2.1.3     MTNZ Shareholders holding 13 479 330 MTNZ Shares elected to receive
                              MTNZ Futhi Consideration Shares.

2.2        Due to the subscription under the MTNZ Futhi Public Offer and the MTNZ Re-
           investment Offer being less than the Target Equity Raise, no Scaling Principles were
           applied. Therefore, qualifying MTNZ Shareholders that validly elected to receive MTNZ
           Futhi Consideration Shares will receive their full election, subject to rounding.

2.3        MTNZ Shareholders that validly elected MTNZ Futhi Consideration Shares will receive a
           welcome pack containing, inter alia, a welcome letter, confirmation of share issuance, a
           token share certificate and important MTN Zakhele Futhi shareholder information
           which will be sent to all successful applicants on or before 23 December 2016.

                                                                                     3                2

                                                                                                      1

                                                                                                      4

            Share

           Notes:

           1.   Based on the 30 day volume weighted average price per MTN Share to 18 November 2016
                of R112.65010 multiplied by the number of MTN Shares.

           2.   Comprising the MTNZ Pref Shares redemption amount, net of cash (R2 610.8 million), a
                general provisions amount (R21 million) and a provision for Securities Transfer Tax on
                redemption of the preference shares (R13.13 million).

           3.   The number of MTN Shares to be repurchased by MTN from MTN Zakhele in terms of the
                MTNZ Specific Repurchase has been calculated by dividing the amount in note 2 above by
                the 30 day volume weighted average price per MTN Share to 18 November 2016 of
                R112.65010.

           4.   To the extent that there is any residual cash from the sale of the Tax Provision MTN Shares
                (that is, cash in excess of the amount required to pay or provide for the MTNZ Taxes), Wind-
                up Co will pay that amount of cash for and on behalf of MTNZ as additional Scheme
                Consideration to all Scheme Participants pro rata to their holdings of MTNZ Shares (being
                the “MTNZ Tax Cash Top-Up Amount”). The MTNZ Tax Cash Top-Up Amount (if applicable)
                will be published on SENS on Friday, 9 December 2016.

           5.   The repurchase by MTNZ on the applicable Operative Date of that number of MTNZ Shares
                in respect of which Scheme Participants elect (or are deemed to have elected) to receive
                MTN Consideration Shares and/or Cash Consideration, will result in a change in beneficial
                ownership, and therefore a transfer, of the corresponding Base Entitlement Shares to the
                Scheme Participants. Securities Transfer Tax will therefore be recoverable from each
                Scheme Participant in respect of the Base Entitlement Shares transferred to it.

           6.   No Securities Transfer Tax will be incurred in respect of the MTNZ Futhi Consideration
                Shares transferred to a Scheme Participant.

           7.   South African Scheme Participants are referred to paragraph 19 of the MTNZ Scheme
                Circular for a general summary of the income tax, CGT and STT implications of the Scheme
                for Scheme Participants.
