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.
