Approval of Licence Control Transfer from Cell C Limited to The Prepaid Company
Proprietary Limited

Blue Label is pleased to announce that Cell C Limited (“Cell C”) has successfully obtained
the approval from the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (“ICASA”) for
the transfer of control of the relevant telecommunications licences (“the licences”) held by
Cell C to The Prepaid Company Proprietary Limited (“The Prepaid Company”), a wholly
owned subsidiary of Blue Label.

Although the licences will continue to be held by Cell C, ICASA’s approval to transfer control
of Cell C's licences was required because a transfer of control would be deemed to occur
when the shareholding held by The Prepaid Company, exceeds 50% of the issued share
capital in Cell C.

This approval represents a significant milestone for Blue Label and a crucial step in
advancing its strategy to obtain control over Cell C.
