LAUNCH OF CELL C LIMITED (“Cell C”) BOND PROCESS FOR THE RECAPITALISATION OF CELL C

1.          Shareholders are referred to the SENS Announcement of 15 March 2022 regarding the recapitalisation of
            Cell C (the "Proposed Transaction"), in terms of which, inter alia, Cell C shall restructure its debt owing to
            certain secured lenders totalling c.ZAR 7.3 billion, with such amount being fixed as at November 2019
            (“Secured Lenders”), by compromising the Secured Lenders’ claims by an offer of 20c to the ZAR
            (“Compromise Offer”).
2.          Certain of the Secured Lenders are holders of formerly publicly listed notes issued by Cell C described as
            U.S.$184,002,000 8.625% First Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2020 (ISIN: XS1634003831 / Common
            Code: 163400383) (the “Note(s)”).
3.          In order for the holders of the Notes (“Noteholders”) to accept and thereby be bound by the Compromise
            Offer, Cell C has today via written notice called for a meeting of the Noteholders, to be held on the 20th of
            June 2022 (“CSM Notice”), whereby the necessary extraordinary resolution of Noteholders will be tabled
            and voted on, in terms of which, amongst other things, the Noteholders will give effect to the Compromise
            Offer. The details of the Compromise Offer, its effect on the Notes and the implementation mechanics
            thereof are set out in a consent solicitation memorandum that will be made available to Noteholders on
            the basis detailed in the CSM Notice.
4.          Noteholders holding a majority of at least 75% of the votes attributable to the Notes and cast in favour of
            the said extraordinary resolution detailed in the said consent solicitation memorandum, are required to
            lawfully implement the Compromise Offer and in order that it be binding on all Noteholders. Blue Label
            shareholders shall be notified of the result of the vote of the Noteholders in due course.


We invite Blue Label shareholders to participate in a conference call which will take place on Thursday 26th of May
2022 at 10.30am on Zoom.
