Important information

This announcement is not an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to purchase, securities in the United States
or in any other jurisdiction.

The securities to which these materials relate have not been, and will not be, registered under the US Securities
Act of 1933 (the “US Securities Act”), or under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United
States. Accordingly, they may not be offered, sold, resold, delivered, distributed or otherwise transferred, directly
or indirectly, in or into the United States absent registration under the US Securities Act or an exemption
therefrom. The Ninety One plc shares to be issued in connection with the UK Demerger will be issued in reliance
on the exemption from the registration requirements of the US Securities Act provided by Section 3(a)(10)
thereof. The Ninety One Limited shares to be issued in connection with the SA Demerger will only be issued in
the United States to persons who are reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” (“QIBs”) as defined
in Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) under the US Securities Act. It is anticipated that US shareholders of Investec Limited
who are not able to receive Ninety One Limited shares in the SA Demerger may, in lieu of Ninety One Limited
shares, receive a cash amount corresponding to net proceeds from the sale of the Ninety One Limited shares
that they otherwise would have been entitled to receive, as further described in the Circular.
