In light of the COVID-19 outbreak in South Africa and its status as an ongoing pandemic, the board of

the Company’s memorandum of incorporation.
The Company has retained the services of The Meeting Specialist Proprietary Limited (“TMS”) to remotely
host the AGM on an interactive electronic platform, in order to facilitate remote participation and voting
by shareholders. TMS will also act as scrutineer for purposes of the AGM.
The record date for the purposes of determining the shareholders of the Company entitled to receive the
AGM notice was Friday, 18 June 2021.
The last date to trade in order to be eligible to attend, participate in and vote at the AGM is Tuesday,
17 August 2021.

participate in and vote at the AGM is Friday, 20 August 2021.

must apply to TMS. In order to apply to TMS for participation in the AGM, participants must deliver the

Important notice
Shareholders should take note that, pursuant to a provision of the MultiChoice memorandum of
incorporation, MultiChoice is permitted to reduce the voting rights of shares in MultiChoice
(including MultiChoice shares deposited in terms of the American Depositary Share ("ADS") facility)
so that the aggregate voting power of MultiChoice shares that are presumptively owned or held by
foreigners to South Africa (as envisaged in the MultiChoice memorandum of incorporation) will not
exceed 20% of the total voting power in MultiChoice. This is to ensure compliance with certain
statutory requirements applicable to South Africa. For this purpose MultiChoice will presume in
particular that:
• all MultiChoice shares deposited in terms of the MultiChoice ADS facility are owned or held
by foreigners to South Africa, regardless of the actual nationality of the MultiChoice ADS
holder; and
• all shareholders with an address outside of South Africa on the register of MultiChoice will
be deemed to be foreigners to South Africa, irrespective of their actual nationality or
domicilium, unless such shareholder can provide proof, to the satisfaction of the
MultiChoice board, that it should not be deemed to be a foreigner to South Africa, as
envisaged in article 40.1.3 of the MultiChoice memorandum of incorporation.
Shareholders are referred to the provisions of the MultiChoice memorandum of incorporation
available at www.multichoice.com for further detail. If shareholders are in any doubt as to what
action to take, they should seek advice from their broker, attorney or other professional adviser.
