Letter to Investec plc and Investec Limited shareholders

Dear shareholder

Please find enclosed the notices of the annual general meetings of Investec plc and Investec Limited to be held on Wednesday, 8 August 2018 at 11:00 (UK time) and 12:00 (South African time) respectively (the annual general meetings). In accordance with Investec's dual listed companies' (DLC) structure, the annual general meetings will be held in parallel, and the shareholders of both companies will have the opportunity to vote on each of the resolutions with votes aggregated to determine the result. All resolutions at the annual general meetings will be put to a vote on a poll, with each shareholder having one vote per ordinary share held, in order to provide an accurate reflection of the views of shareholders.

The notices that follow set out the resolutions that will be put to shareholder vote at the annual general meetings.

In summary, the order of business will be as follows:

  • Common business of Investec plc and Investec Limited
  • Ordinary and special business of Investec Limited
  • Ordinary and special business of Investec plc.

The common business of Investec plc and Investec Limited includes the re-election of each of the directors. In accordance with corporate governance best practice, the boards of Investec plc and Investec Limited (the boards) have resolved to adopt provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code relating to the annual re-election of all directors. The shareholders will therefore be asked to vote on separate resolutions

to approve the re-election of each of the directors of the companies. In this regard, I would like to confirm to you that following the performance evaluation, carried out during 2017, the boards believe the directors proposed for election continue to be effective and demonstrate commitment to the role and bring valuable knowledge, skills and experience to the board.

Brief biographical details of each of the directors proposed to be re-elected, follow the notices of annual general meetings on pages 21 to 26 and on pages 124 to 129 in volume one of the 2018 integrated annual report of Investec plc and Investec Limited. During the last year, Peter Thomas stepped down from the boards on 10 August 2017 following the conclusion of the 2017 annual general meetings. Philip Hourquebie was appointed as a director of Investec plc and Investec Limited on 14 August 2017.

Fani Titi stepped down as the chairman of Investec plc and Investec Limited on 15 May 2018 and I thank him for his contributions made to the boards. Fani will continue with the Investec group as joint chief executive with effect from 1 October 2018.

The annual general meetings provide an important opportunity for shareholders to express their views on the financial performance, management and governance of Investec. The board would therefore like to encourage all shareholders to participate. If you are unable to attend to vote in person, please ensure that you complete and return a proxy form. Further information on voting and proxies can be found in the notes to the notices set out below.

The boards believe that the proposals set out in the notices of the annual general meetings promote the success of the companies and are in the best interests of the shareholders as a whole. The board therefore unanimously recommends that you vote in favour of all the resolutions. I look forward to welcoming you to the annual general meetings.

  1. To approve the dual listed companies' (DLC) directors' remuneration report, including the implementation report, (other than that part containing the directors' remuneration policy) for the year ended 31 March 2018.

Explanatory note to resolution No 16:

This resolution is a non-binding advisory vote and does not directly affect the remuneration paid to any director. For the full remuneration report, please refer to pages 185 to 244 in volume one of the 2018 integrated annual report of Investec plc and Investec Limited.

Although the votes on resolution No 16 are non-binding, the board will consider the outcome of the votes when reviewing the implementation of its remuneration policy in future and will seek to engage with shareholders in the event that either resolution No 16 or 17 has been voted against by 25% or more of the votes exercised by shareholders.

  1. To approve the dual listed companies' (DLC) directors' remuneration policy contained in the DLC remuneration report.

Resolution No 17 is a binding vote.

However, the UK Companies Act 2006 requires a listed company to present its directors' remuneration policy at its annual general meeting for approval at least every three years, such vote being binding. The DLC directors' remuneration policy was last approved by shareholders at the 2015 annual general meeting.

The DLC directors' remuneration policy and remuneration implementation report appear on pages 218 to 230 and 193 to 213 of the DLC remuneration report for the year ended 31 March 2018.

Explanatory note to special resolutions No 1 and 2:

The reason for and effect of special resolutions No 1 and 2 is to grant a renewable general authority to Investec Limited or its subsidiaries, to acquire ordinary shares, Class ILRP2 preference shares, redeemable preference shares and perpetual preference shares of Investec Limited which are in issue from time to time, subject to the SA Companies Act, the JSE Listings Requirements and the Banks Act. The directors of Investec Limited have no present intention of making any acquisition but believe that Investec Limited should retain the flexibility to take action if future acquisitions are considered desirable and in the best interests of shareholders. The directors of Investec Limited are of the opinion that, after considering the effect of such acquisition of ordinary shares, Class ILRP2 preference shares, redeemable preference shares and perpetual preference shares of Investec Limited which are in issue from time to time, if implemented and on the assumption that the maximum of 20% of the current issued ordinary share capital, issued Class ILRP2 preference share capital, any other redeemable preference shares or perpetual preference shares will be acquired, using the mechanism of the general authority at the maximum price at which the acquisition may take place and having regard to the price of the ordinary shares, Class ILRP2 preference shares, redeemable preference shares and perpetual preference shares, of Investec Limited on the JSE at the last practical date prior to the date of the notice of annual general meeting of Investec Limited convened for 8 August 2018:

  • Investec Limited and its subsidiaries will be able, in the ordinary course of business, to pay their debt for a period of 12 months after the date of the notice of annual general meeting of Investec Limited convened for 8 August 2018;
  • the consolidated assets of Investec Limited and its subsidiaries, fairly valued in accordance with the accounting policies used in the latest audited annual group financial statements, will be in excess of the consolidated liabilities of Investec Limited and its subsidiaries for a period of 12 months after the date of the notice of annual general meeting of Investec Limited convened for 8 August 2018; and
  • Investec Limited and its subsidiaries will have adequate capital and reserves for ordinary business purposes for a period of 12 months after the date of the notice of annual general meeting of Investec Limited convened for 8 August 2018.

Directors' responsibility statement

The directors, whose names appear on pages 124 to 129 in volume one of the 2018 integrated annual report of Investec plc and Investec Limited, collectively and individually accept full responsibility for the accuracy of the information pertaining to special resolutions No 1 and 2 and certify that, to the best of their knowledge and belief, there are no facts that have been omitted, which would make any statement false or misleading and that all reasonable enquiries to ascertain such facts have been made and that the special resolutions contains all information.

Material changes

Other than the facts and developments reported on in the 2018 integrated annual report of Investec plc and Investec Limited, there have been no material changes in the affairs or financial position of Investec Limited and its subsidiaries since the date of signature of the audit report and up to the date of this notice of annual general meeting of Investec Limited.

  • share capital of Investec Limited as set out on pages 107 to 110 in volume three of the 2018 integrated annual report of Investec plc and Investec Limited.
    1. Special resolution No 3: Financial assistance

Resolved that:

• to the extent required by the South African Companies Act, No 71 of 2008, as amended (the SA Companies Act), the board of directors of Investec Limited may, subject to compliance with the requirements of Investec Limited's Memorandum of Incorporation (if any), the SA Companies Act, the South African Banks Act, No 94 of 1990 and the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, authorise Investec Limited to provide direct or indirect financial assistance by way of loan, guarantee, the provision of security or otherwise, to:

  • (i) any of its present or future subsidiaries and/or any other company or entity that is or becomes related or interrelated to Investec Limited, for any purpose or in connection with any matter, including, but not limited to, any option, or any securities issued or to be issued by Investec Limited or a related or interrelated company or entity, or for the purchase of any securities of Investec Limited or a related or interrelated company or entity; and/or
  • (ii) any of the present or future directors or prescribed officers of Investec Limited or of a related or interrelated company or entity (or any person related to any of them or to any company or corporation related or interrelated to any of them), or to any other person who is a participant in any of Investec Limited's present or future share or other employee incentive schemes, for the purpose of, or in connection with, the subscription of any option, or any securities, issued or to be issued by Investec Limited or a related or interrelated company or entity, or for the purchase of any securities of Investec Limited or a related or interrelated company or entity, where such financial assistance is provided in terms of any such scheme, such authority to endure until the next annual general meeting of Investec Limited to be held in 2019.

Explanatory note to special resolution No 3:

As part of the normal conduct of the business of the group, Investec Limited, where necessary, usually provides guarantees and other support undertakings to third parties which enter into financing agreements with its local and foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures or partnerships in which the company or members of the group have an interest.

This is particularly so where funding is raised by conduct of their operations. In the circumstances and in order to, inter alia, ensure that Investec Limited and its subsidiaries and other related and interrelated companies and entities continue to have access to financing for purposes of refinancing existing facilities and funding their corporate and working capital requirements, it is necessary to obtain the approval of the shareholders as set out in this special resolution. Investec

Limited would like the ability to continue to provide financial assistance, if necessary, also in other circumstances.

Furthermore, it may be necessary for Investec Limited to provide financial assistance to any of its present or future subsidiaries and/or to any other related or interrelated company or entity, and/ or to a member of a related or interrelated company or entity, to subscribe for options or securities of Investec Limited or another company related or interrelated to it. Under sections 44 and 45 of the SA Companies Act, Investec Limited will, however, require a special resolution to be adopted before such financial assistance may be provided. It is therefore imperative that Investec Limited obtains the approval of shareholders in terms of special resolution No 3 so that it is able to effectively organise its internal financial administration. Sections 44 and 45 also contain exemptions in respect of employee share schemes, as contemplated in the SA Companies Act, which satisfy the requirements of section 97 of the SA Companies Act. To the extent that any of Investec Limited's or the group's share or other employee incentive schemes do not constitute employee share schemes that satisfy such requirements, financial assistance (as contemplated in sections 44 and 45) to be provided under such schemes will, inter alia, also require approval by special resolution. Accordingly, special resolution No 3 authorises financial assistance to any of the directors or prescribed officers of Investec Limited or its related or interrelated companies or entities (or any person related to any of them or to any company or corporation related or interrelated to them), or to any other person who is a participant in any of the group's share or other employee incentive schemes, in order to facilitate their participation in any such schemes.

  1. Special resolution No 4: Non-executive directors' remuneration

Resolved that:

  • in terms of section 66(9) of the South African Companies Act, No 71 of 2008, as amended (the SA Companies Act), payment of the remuneration to the non-executive directors of Investec Limited for their service as directors be approved as follows:
  • For the period 1 September 2018 to 31 August 2019: as set out on page 203 in volume one of the 2018 integrated annual report of Investec plc and Investec Limited
  • Value-Added Tax (VAT), at the prevailing rate, where applicable, will be added to the abovementioned fees.

Explanatory note to special resolution No 4:

The reason and effect of special resolution No 4 is proposed to enable Investec Limited to comply with the provisions of sections 65(11)(h), 66(8) and 66(9) of the SA Companies Act, which stipulate that remuneration to directors for their service as directors may be paid only in accordance with a special resolution approved by shareholders.

(continued)

Explanatory note to resolution No 36:

The Articles of Association of Investec plc permit the directors of Investec plc to allot shares and other securities in accordance with section 551 of the UK Companies Act 2006, up to an amount authorised by the shareholders in general meeting. Renewal of the authority is sought annually, in accordance with best practice. The authority is requested to ensure that the directors have appropriate authority and flexibility to respond to market developments and enable allotments to take place to manage the company's capital resources. However, the board has no present intention of exercising the authority.

The Investment Association's share capital management guidelines allow for allotments of up to two-thirds of the company's issued share capital, provided that any amount over one-third is applied to fully pre-emptive rights issues only. Notwithstanding this, the board has decided, in recognition of the views of many of our shareholders, to seek authority to allot ordinary shares representing no more than one-third in nominal value of the company's current issued ordinary share capital, and will not be seeking to disapply statutory preemption rights.

The resolution also authorises the directors to allot special converting shares to reflect the number of ordinary shares issued by Investec Limited at any time and from time to time up to a nominal value of £27 855. Shares held in treasury are not included for the purpose of the calculation of the nominal value of ordinary shares which may be allotted under this authority. As of 8 June 2018 (the latest practicable date prior to publication of this notice), Investec plc holds no treasury shares for voting right purposes.

  1. Special resolution No 5: Directors' authority to purchase ordinary shares.

Resolved that:

  • Investec plc be and is hereby unconditionally and generally authorised for the purpose of section 701 of the UK Companies Act 2006 to make market purchases (as defined in section 693 of the UK Companies Act 2006) of ordinary shares in the capital of Investec plc, provided that:
  • (i) the maximum aggregate number of ordinary shares which may be purchased is 66 983 870 ordinary shares of £0.0002 each;
  • (ii) the minimum price which may be paid for each ordinary share is the nominal value of such share at the time of purchase;
  • (iii) the maximum price which may be paid for any ordinary share is an amount equal to the higher of (a) 105% of the average of the middle market quotations of the ordinary shares of Investec plc as derived from the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List for the five business days immediately preceding the day on which such share is contracted to be purchased or (b) the higher of the price of the last independent trade and the highest current bid for an ordinary share as stipulated by the Commission adopted Regulatory Technical Standards pursuant to article 5(6) of the Market Abuse Regulations; and

(iv) this authority shall expire at the conclusion of the annual general meeting of Investec plc to be held in 2019, or if earlier, 15 months from the date on which this special resolution No 5 is passed (except in relation to the purchase of ordinary shares, the contract for which was concluded before the expiry of such authority and which might be executed wholly or partly after such expiry) unless such authority is renewed prior to that time.

Explanatory note to special resolution No 5:

The purpose and effect of this special resolution No 5 is to grant a general authority, subject to the specified limits, to Investec plc to acquire ordinary shares of Investec plc. The maximum number of ordinary shares which could be acquired under this authority represents 10% of the ordinary shares in issue as at 8 June 2018 (the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this notice).

As of 8 June 2018 (the latest practicable date prior to publication of this notice), there were options outstanding over 8 996 256 ordinary shares, representing 1.34% of Investec plc's issued ordinary share capital at that date. If the authority to buy back shares under this special resolution No 5 was exercised in full, the total number of options to subscribe for ordinary shares would represent 1.49% of Investec plc's issued ordinary share capital. The UK Companies Act 2006 permits Investec plc to purchase its own ordinary shares to be held in treasury, with a view to possible resale at a future date.

The directors of Investec plc have no present intention of making any purchases, but believe that Investec plc should retain the flexibility to take further action if future purchases were considered desirable and in the best interest of shareholders. If Investec plc were to purchase shares under the UK Companies Act 2006 they will be cancelled or, to the extent determined by the directors of Investec plc, held in treasury. The authority will be exercised only if the directors of Investec plc believe that to do so would result in an increase of earnings per ordinary share and would be in the interests of shareholders generally or, in the case of the creation of treasury shares, that to do so would be in the best interests of shareholders generally.

In order for special resolution No 5 to be given effect, a majority of at least 75% of the votes of all shareholders present or represented by proxy at the annual general meetings of Investec plc and Investec Limited must be cast in favour of special resolution No 5.

  1. Special resolution No 6: Authority to purchase preference shares.

Resolved that:

  • Investec plc be and is hereby unconditionally and generally authorised for the purpose of section 701 of the UK Companies Act 2006 to make market purchases (as defined in section 693 of the UK Companies Act 2006) of nonredeemable, non-cumulative, non-participating rand preference shares of ZAR0.0001 each in the capital of Investec plc (the rand preference shares) and nonredeemable, non-cumulative, nonparticipating sterling preference shares of GBP0.01 each in the capital of Investec plc (the sterling preference shares), and together with the rand preference shares, the preference shares), provided that:
  • (i) the maximum aggregate number of rand preference shares which may be purchased is 131 447 and the maximum number of sterling preference shares which may be purchased is 2 754 587;
  • (ii) the minimum price which may be paid for each preference share is the nominal value of such share at the time of purchase;
  • (iii) the maximum price which may be paid for any preference share is an amount equal to 105% of the average of the middle market quotations of the preference shares of Investec plc as derived from the Johannesburg Stock Exchange Daily Official List or from the International Stock Exchange Daily Official List (as applicable), in each case for the five business days immediately preceding the day on which such share is contracted to be purchased; and
  • (iv) this authority shall expire on 8 August 2023 (except in relation to the purchase of preference shares, the contract for which was concluded before the expiry of such authority and which might be executed wholly or partly after such expiry).

Explanatory note to special resolution No 6:

On 20 July 2016, the shareholders of Investec plc and Investec Limited approved the off-market purchase (the Off-market Purchase) of the preference shares. Pursuant to the Off-market Purchase Investec plc made a tender offer for all of the preference shares in issue and, to the extent that acceptances were received, a number of preference shares were purchased by Investec plc on 2 August 2016 and these preference shares were subsequently de-listed and cancelled. The directors of Investec plc consider it in the best interests of shareholders generally for Investec plc to have the authority to purchase the remaining preference shares in issue. Investec plc intends to exercise this authority upon preference shares becoming available for purchase provided prevailing market conditions are favourable.

Accordingly, the purpose and effect of special resolution No 6 is to grant a general authority to Investec plc to acquire the preference shares. The Company intends to cancel any repurchased preference shares.

In order for special resolution No 6 to be given effect, a majority of at least 75% of the votes of all shareholders present or represented by proxy at the annual general meetings of Investec plc and Investec Limited must be cast in favour of special resolution No 6.

  1. Ordinary resolution: Political donations.

Resolved that:

  • in accordance with section 366 of the UK Companies Act 2006, Investec plc and any company which, at any time during the period for which this resolution has effect, is a subsidiary of Investec plc, be and are hereby authorised to:
  • (i) make donations to political organisations not exceeding £25 000 in total; and
  • (ii) incur political expenditure not exceeding £75 000 in total.

In each case during the period commencing on the date of this resolution and ending on the date of the annual general meeting of Investec plc to be held in 2019, provided that the maximum amounts referred to in (i) and (ii) may consist of sums in any currency converted into pounds sterling at such rate as Investec plc may in its absolute discretion

determine. For the purposes of this resolution, the terms 'political donations', 'political organisations' and 'political expenditure' shall have the meanings given to them in sections 363 to 365 of the UK Companies Act 2006.

Explanatory note to resolution No 39:

The reason for ordinary resolution No 39 is that the UK Companies Act 2006 requires companies to obtain shareholder approval before they can make donations to EU political organisations or incur EU political expenditure. Investec plc does not give any money for political purposes in the UK nor does it make any donations to EU political organisations or incur EU political expenditure.

Although Investec plc does not intend to give any money for political purposes in the UK or incur EU political expenditure, the definitions of political donations and political expenditure used in the UK Companies Act 2006 are very wide. The authority is a precautionary measure to ensure that Investec plc and any company which is or becomes a subsidiary of Investec plc does not inadvertently breach the relevant provisions of the UK Companies Act 2006.

The directors of Investec plc consider that the proposed resolutions in the notice of the annual general meeting are in the best interests of Investec plc and its shareholders and recommend that you vote in favour as the directors of Investec plc intend to do in respect of their own beneficial holdings.

By order of the board

    1. All of the above resolutions are joint electorate actions under the Articles of Association of Investec plc and, accordingly, both the holders of ordinary shares in Investec plc and the holder of the special voting share in Investec plc are entitled to vote. Voting will be on a poll which will remain open for sufficient time to allow the Investec Limited annual general meeting to be held and for the votes of the holder of the Investec plc special voting share to be ascertained and cast on a poll.
    1. On the poll:
    2. (a) each ordinary share in Investec plc (other than those subject to voting restrictions) will have one vote;
    3. (b) the holder of the Investec plc special voting share will cast the same number of votes as were validly cast for and against the equivalent resolution by Investec Limited shareholders on the poll at the Investec Limited annual general meeting;
    4. (c) the holder of the Investec plc special voting share will be obliged to cast these votes for and against the relevant resolutions in accordance with the votes cast for and against the equivalent resolution by Investec Limited shareholders on the poll at the Investec Limited annual general meeting;
    5. (d) through this mechanism, the votes of the Investec Limited ordinary shareholders at the Investec Limited annual general meeting will be reflected at Investec plc's annual general meeting in respect of each joint electorate action; and
    6. (e) the results of the joint electorate action will be announced after both polls have closed.
    1. Subject to the provisions under section 319A of the UK Companies Act 2006, any member attending the meeting has the right to ask questions. A member who is entitled to attend and vote at the annual general meeting is entitled to appoint one or more persons as his or her proxy to exercise all or any of his or her rights to attend and to speak and vote at the meeting, provided that, if more than one proxy is appointed by a member, each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to different shares held by

that shareholder. A proxy need not be a member of Investec plc or Investec Limited.

    1. A form of proxy is enclosed. The appointment of a proxy will not prevent a member from subsequently attending and voting at the meeting in person. The right to appoint a proxy does not apply to persons whose shares are held on their behalf by another person and who have been nominated to receive communications from Investec plc in accordance with section 146 of the UK Companies Act 2006 (nominated persons). Nominated persons may have a right under an agreement with the registered shareholder who holds the shares on their behalf to be appointed (or to have someone else appointed) as a proxy. Alternatively, if nominated persons do not have such a right, or do not wish to exercise it, they may have a right under such an agreement to give instructions to the person holding the shares as to the exercise of voting rights.
    1. To be effective, the instrument appointing a proxy and any power of attorney or other authority under which it was executed (or a duly certified copy of any such power or authority) must be returned so as to reach Investec plc's registrars, Computershare Investor Services plc, The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol, BS99 6ZY, not less than 48 (forty-eight) hours before the time for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting.
    1. Any corporation which is a shareholder can appoint one or more representatives who exercise on its behalf all of its powers as a shareholder provided that they do not do so in relation to the same shares.
    1. Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001, as amended, entitlement to attend and vote at the meeting and the number of votes which may be cast thereat will be determined by reference to the register of members of Investec plc at close of business on the day which is two days before the day of the meeting or if the meeting is adjourned, two days before the date fixed for the adjourned meeting, as the case may be. Changes to entries on the register of members after that time shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend and vote at the meeting.
    1. Copies of the non-executive directors' terms and conditions of appointment are available for inspection at Investec plc and Investec Limited's registered offices during business hours on any weekday (Saturdays, Sundays and any public holidays excluded) from the date of this notice until the close of Investec plc and Investec Limited's annual general meeting convened for 8 August 2018 and will also be available for inspection at the place of the meeting for 15 (fifteen) minutes before and during the meeting.
    1. As of 8 June 2018 (the latest practicable date prior to publication of this notice) Investec plc's issued capital consists of 669 838 695 ordinary shares of £0.0002 each. Investec plc holds no ordinary shares in treasury for voting right purposes and therefore the total number of voting rights in Investec plc are 669 838 695.
    1. As of 8 June 2018 (the latest practicable date prior to publication of this notice) Investec Limited's issued capital consists of 310 722 744 ordinary shares of R0.0002 each. Investec Limited holds 26 345 014 ordinary shares in treasury and therefore the total number of voting rights in Investec Limited is 284 377 730.
    1. Investec plc has issued one special voting share and Investec Limited has issued special convertible redeemable preference shares to facilitate joint voting by shareholders of Investec plc and Investec Limited on joint electorate actions. As of 8 June 2018 (the latest practicable date prior to publication of this notice) the combined total number of voting rights of Investec plc and Investec Limited is 954 216 425.
    1. CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies to attend and vote at the Investec plc meeting through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so by using the procedures described in the CREST manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.

Notes to the notice of annual general meeting of Investec plc

(continued)

    1. In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a CREST proxy instruction) must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited's specifications, and must contain the information required for such instruction, as described in the CREST manual (available via www.euroclear.com/CREST). The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or is an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by Computershare Investor Services plc (ID 3RA50) by 11:00 (UK time) on 6 August 2018. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the time stamp applied to the message by the CREST Application Host) from which Computershare Investor Services plc is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.
    1. CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors, or voting service providers should note that Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular message. Normal system timings and limitations will, therefore, apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member, or sponsored member, or has appointed a voting service provider, to procure that his CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST

system by any particular time. In this respect, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting system providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.

    1. Investec plc may treat as invalid a CREST proxy instruction in the circumstances set out in regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.
    1. Under section 527 of the UK Companies Act 2006 members meeting the threshold requirements set out in that section have the right to require Investec plc to publish on a website a statement setting out any matter relating to:
  • (i) the audit of Investec plc's financial statements (including the auditor's report and the conduct of the audit) that are to be laid before the annual general meeting; or
  • (ii) any circumstance connected with an auditor of Investec plc ceasing to hold office since the previous meeting at which annual accounts and reports were laid in accordance with section 437 of the UK Companies Act 2006. Investec plc may not require the shareholders requesting any such website publication to pay its expenses in complying with sections 527 or 528 of the UK Companies Act 2006. Where Investec plc is required to place a statement on a website under section 527 of the UK Companies Act 2006, it must forward the statement to its auditor not later than the time when it makes the statement available on the website. The business which may be dealt with at the annual general meeting includes any statement that Investec plc has been required to publish on a website under section 527 of the UK Companies Act 2006.

Notice of annual general meeting of Investec Limited

the JSE Listings Requirements and the Banks Act. The directors of Investec Limited have no present intention of making any acquisition but believe that Investec Limited should retain the flexibility to take action if future acquisitions are considered desirable and in the best interests of shareholders. The directors of Investec Limited are of the opinion that, after considering the effect of such acquisition of ordinary shares, Class ILRP2 preference shares, redeemable preference shares and perpetual preference shares of Investec Limited which are in issue from time to time, if implemented and on the assumption that the maximum of 20% of the current issued ordinary share capital, issued Class ILRP2 preference share capital, any other redeemable preference shares or perpetual preference shares will be acquired, using the mechanism of the general authority at the maximum price at which the acquisition may take place and having regard to the price of the ordinary shares, Class ILRP2 preference shares, redeemable preference shares and perpetual preference shares, of Investec Limited on the JSE at the last practical date prior to the date of the notice of annual general meeting of Investec Limited convened for 8 August 2018:

  • Investec Limited and its subsidiaries will be able, in the ordinary course of business, to pay their debt for a period of 12 months after the date of the notice of annual general meeting of Investec Limited convened for 8 August 2018;
  • the consolidated assets of Investec Limited and its subsidiaries, fairly valued in accordance with the accounting policies used in the latest audited annual group financial statements, will be in excess of the consolidated liabilities of Investec Limited and its subsidiaries for a period of 12 months after the date of the notice of annual general meeting of Investec Limited convened for 8 August 2018; and
  • Investec Limited and its subsidiaries will have adequate capital and reserves for ordinary business purposes for a period of 12 months after the date of the notice of annual general meeting of Investec Limited convened for 8 August 2018.

Directors' responsibility statement

The directors, whose names appear on pages 124 to 129 in volume one of the 2018 integrated annual report of Investec plc and Investec Limited, collectively and individually accept full responsibility for the accuracy of the information pertaining to special resolutions No 1 and 2 and certify that, to the best of their knowledge and belief, there are no facts that have been omitted, which would make any statement false or misleading and that all reasonable enquiries to ascertain such facts have been made and that the special resolutions contains all information.

Material changes

Other than the facts and developments reported on in the 2018 integrated annual report of Investec plc and Investec Limited, there have been no material changes in the affairs or financial position of Investec Limited and its subsidiaries since the date of signature of the audit report and up to the date of this notice of annual general meeting of Investec Limited. The following additional information is provided in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements for purposes of the general authority:

  • major beneficial shareholders as set out on page 167 in volume one of the 2018 integrated annual report of Investec plc and Investec Limited; and
  • share capital of Investec Limited as set out on pages 107 to 110 in volume three of the 2018 integrated annual report of Investec plc and Investec Limited.
    1. Special resolution No 3: Financial assistance.

Resolved that:

• to the extent required by the South African Companies Act, No 71 of 2008, as amended (the SA Companies Act), the board of directors of Investec Limited may, subject to compliance with the requirements of Investec Limited's Memorandum of Incorporation (if any), the SA Companies Act, the South African Banks Act, No 94 of 1990 and the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, authorise Investec Limited to provide direct or indirect financial assistance by way of loan, guarantee, the provision of security or otherwise, to:

  • (i) any of its present or future subsidiaries and/or any other company or entity that is or becomes related or interrelated to Investec Limited, for any purpose or in connection with any matter, including, but not limited to, any option, or any securities issued or to be issued by Investec Limited or a related or interrelated company or entity, or for the purchase of any securities of Investec Limited or a related or interrelated company or entity; and/or
  • (ii) any of the present or future directors or prescribed officers of Investec Limited or of a related or interrelated company or entity (or any person related to any of them or to any company or corporation related or interrelated to any of them), or to any other person who is a participant in any of Investec Limited's present or future share or other employee incentive schemes, for the purpose of, or in connection with, the subscription of any option, or any securities, issued or to be issued by Investec Limited or a related or interrelated company or entity, or for the purchase of any securities of Investec Limited or a related or interrelated company or entity, where such financial assistance is provided in terms of any such scheme, such authority to endure until the next annual general meeting of Investec Limited to be held in 2019.

Explanatory note to special resolution No 3:

As part of the normal conduct of the business of the group, Investec Limited, where necessary, usually provides guarantees and other support undertakings to third parties which enter into financing agreements with its local and foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures or partnerships in which the company or members of the group have an interest.

This is particularly so where funding is raised by conduct of their operations. In the circumstances and in order to, inter alia, ensure that Investec Limited and its subsidiaries and other related and interrelated companies and entities continue to have access to financing for purposes of refinancing existing facilities

(continued)

and funding their corporate and working capital requirements, it is necessary to obtain the approval of the shareholders as set out in this special resolution. Investec Limited would like the ability to continue to provide financial assistance, if necessary, also in other circumstances.

Furthermore, it may be necessary for Investec Limited to provide financial assistance to any of its present or future subsidiaries and/or to any other related or interrelated company or entity, and/or to a member of a related or interrelated company or entity, to subscribe for options or securities of Investec Limited or another company related or interrelated to it. Under sections 44 and 45 of the SA Companies Act, Investec Limited will, however, require a special resolution to be adopted before such financial assistance may be provided. It is therefore imperative that Investec Limited obtains the approval of shareholders in terms of special resolution No 3 so that it is able to effectively organise its internal financial administration. Sections 44 and 45 also contain exemptions in respect of employee share schemes, as contemplated in the SA Companies Act, which satisfy the requirements of section 97 of the SA Companies Act. To the extent that any of Investec Limited's or the group's share or other employee incentive schemes do not constitute employee share schemes that satisfy such requirements, financial assistance (as contemplated in sections 44 and 45) to be provided under such schemes will, inter alia, also require approval by special resolution. Accordingly, special resolution No 3 authorises financial assistance to any of the directors or prescribed officers of Investec Limited or its related or interrelated companies or entities (or any person related to any of them or to any company or corporation related or interrelated to them), or to any other person who is a participant in any of the group's share or other employee incentive schemes, in order to facilitate their participation in any such schemes.

  1. Special resolution No 4: Non-executive directors' remuneration.

Resolved that:

• in terms of section 66(9) of the South African Companies Act, No 71 of 2008, as amended (the SA Companies Act), payment of the remuneration to the non-executive directors of Investec

Limited for their service as directors be approved as follows:

  • For the period 1 September 2018 to 31 August 2019: as set out on page 203 in volume one of the 2018 integrated annual report of Investec plc and Investec Limited
  • Value-Added Tax (VAT), at the prevailing rate, where applicable, will be added to the abovementioned fees.

Explanatory note to special resolution No 4:

The reason and effect of special resolution No 4 is proposed to enable Investec Limited to comply with the provisions of sections 65(11)(h), 66(8) and 66(9) of the SA Companies Act, which stipulate that remuneration to directors for their service as directors may be paid only in accordance with a special resolution approved by shareholders.

For more information on the directors' remuneration, please refer to pages 185 to 244 in volume one of the 2018 integrated annual report of Investec plc and Investec Limited.

Ordinary business: Investec plc

To consider and, if deemed fit, to pass with or without modification, the following ordinary resolutions of Investec plc set out below:

    1. To receive and adopt the audited annual financial statements of Investec plc for the year ended 31 March 2018, together with the reports of the directors of Investec plc and of the auditors of Investec plc.
    1. To sanction the interim dividend paid by Investec plc on the ordinary shares in Investec plc for the six-month period ended 30 September 2017.
    1. Subject to the passing of resolution No 22, to declare a final dividend on the ordinary shares in Investec plc for the year ended 31 March 2018 of an amount equal to that recommended by the directors of Investec plc.
    1. To reappoint Ernst & Young LLP of 1 More London Place, London, SE1 2AF, as auditors of Investec plc to hold office until the conclusion of the annual general meeting of Investec plc

to be held in 2019 and to authorise the directors of Investec plc to fix their remuneration.

Special business: Investec plc

To consider and, if deemed fit, to pass, with or without modification, the following ordinary resolutions of Investec plc set out below:

  1. Ordinary resolution: Directors' authority to allot shares and other securities.

Resolved that:

  • in accordance with section 551 of the UK Companies Act 2006, the directors be and are hereby generally and unconditionally authorised to allot, or grant rights to subscribe for, or convert any security into shares up to an aggregate nominal amount of:
  • (i) £44 656 in respect of Investec plc ordinary shares of £0.0002 each (ordinary shares); and
  • (ii) £27 855 in respect of Investec plc special converting shares of £0.0002 each (special converting shares). The special converting shares are required by the dual listed companies' structure and agreements and are non-dilutive to ordinary shareholders such authority to expire at the end of the annual general meeting of Investec plc to be held in 2019 or, if earlier, 15 months after the passing of this ordinary resolution, but so that in each case, the company may enter into agreements to exercise the authority granted by this resolution where such agreements would or might require shares to be allotted or to convert any security into shares after the date the authority expires, and the directors may allot shares or grant such rights under any such agreements as if the authority had not expired.

Explanatory note to resolution No 36:

The Articles of Association of Investec plc permit the directors of Investec plc to allot shares and other securities in accordance with section 551 of the UK Companies Act 2006, up to an amount authorised by the shareholders in general

(continued)

Notice of annual general meeting of Investec Limited

meeting. Renewal of the authority is sought annually, in accordance with best practice. The authority is requested to ensure that the directors have appropriate authority and flexibility to respond to market developments and enable allotments to take place to manage the company's capital resources. However, the board has no present intention of exercising the authority.

The Investment Association's share capital management guidelines allow for allotments of up to two-thirds of the company's issued share capital, provided that any amount over one-third is applied to fully pre-emptive rights issues only. Notwithstanding this, the board has decided, in recognition of the views of many of our shareholders, to seek authority to allot ordinary shares representing no more than one-third in nominal value of the company's current issued ordinary share capital, and will not be seeking to disapply statutory pre-emption rights.

The resolution also authorises the directors to allot special converting shares to reflect the number of ordinary shares issued by Investec Limited at any time and from time to time up to a nominal value of £27 855. Shares held in treasury are not included for the purpose of the calculation of the nominal value of ordinary shares which may be allotted under this authority. As of 8 June 2018 (the latest practicable date prior to publication of this notice), Investec plc holds no treasury shares for voting right purposes.

  1. Ordinary resolution with a 75% majority: Directors' authority to purchase ordinary shares.

Resolved that:

  • Investec plc be and is hereby unconditionally and generally authorised for the purpose of section 701 of the UK Companies Act 2006 to make market purchases (as defined in section 693 of the UK Companies Act 2006) of ordinary shares in the capital of Investec plc, provided that:
  • (i) the maximum aggregate number of ordinary shares which may be purchased is 66 983 870 ordinary shares of £0.0002 each;
  • (ii) the minimum price which may be paid for each ordinary share is the nominal value of such share at the time of purchase;

  • (iii) the maximum price which may be paid for any ordinary share is an amount equal to the higher of (a) 105% of the average of the middle market quotations of the ordinary shares of Investec plc as derived from the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List for the five business days immediately preceding the day on which such share is contracted to be purchased or (b) the higher of the price of the last independent trade and the highest current bid for an ordinary share as stipulated by the Commission adopted Regulatory Technical Standards pursuant to article 5(6) of the Market Abuse Regulations; and

  • (iv) this authority shall expire at the conclusion of the annual general meeting of Investec plc to be held in 2019, or if earlier, 15 months from the date on which this resolution No 37 is passed (except in relation to the purchase of ordinary shares, the contract for which was concluded before the expiry of such authority and which might be executed wholly or partly after such expiry) unless such authority is renewed prior to that time.

Explanatory note to resolution No 37:

The purpose and effect of this resolution No 37 is to grant a general authority, subject to the specified limits, to Investec plc to acquire ordinary shares of Investec plc. The maximum number of ordinary shares which could be acquired under this authority represents 10% of the ordinary shares in issue as at 8 June 2018 (the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this notice).

As of 8 June 2018 (the latest practicable date prior to publication of this notice), there were options outstanding over 8 996 256 ordinary shares, representing 1.34% of Investec plc's issued ordinary share capital at that date. If the authority to buy back shares under this ordinary resolution No 37 was exercised in full, the total number of options to subscribe for ordinary shares would represent 1.49% of Investec plc's issued ordinary share capital. The UK Companies Act 2006 permits Investec plc to purchase its own ordinary

shares to be held in treasury, with a view to possible resale at a future date.

The directors of Investec plc have no present intention of making any purchases, but believe that Investec plc should retain the flexibility to take further action if future purchases were considered desirable and in the best interest of shareholders. If Investec plc were to purchase shares under the UK Companies Act 2006 they will be cancelled or, to the extent determined by the directors of Investec plc, held in treasury. The authority will be exercised only if the directors of Investec plc believe that to do so would result in an increase of earnings per ordinary share and would be in the interests of shareholders generally or, in the case of the creation of treasury shares, that to do so would be in the best interests of shareholders generally.

In order for ordinary resolution No 37 to be given effect, a majority of at least 75% of the votes of all shareholders present or represented by proxy at the annual general meetings of Investec plc and Investec Limited must be cast in favour of ordinary resolution No 37.

  1. Ordinary resolution with a 75% majority: Authority to purchase preference shares.

Resolved that:

  • Investec plc be and is hereby unconditionally and generally authorised for the purpose of section 701 of the UK Companies Act 2006 to make market purchases (as defined in section 693 of the UK Companies Act 2006) of non-redeemable, noncumulative, non-participating rand preference shares of ZAR0.0001 each in the capital of Investec plc (the rand preference shares) and non-redeemable, non-cumulative, non-participating sterling preference shares of GBP0.01 each in the capital of Investec plc (the sterling preference shares), and together with the rand preference shares, the preference shares), provided that:
  • (i) the maximum aggregate number of rand preference shares which may be purchased is 131 447 and the maximum number of sterling preference shares which may be purchased is 2 754 587;

  • (ii) the minimum price which may be paid for each preference share is the nominal value of such share at the time of purchase;

  • (iii) the maximum price which may be paid for any preference share is an amount equal to 105% of the average of the middle market quotations of the preference shares of Investec plc as derived from the Johannesburg Stock Exchange Daily Official List or from the International Stock Exchange Daily Official List (as applicable), in each case for the five business days immediately preceding the day on which such share is contracted to be purchased; and
  • (iv) this authority shall expire on 8 August 2023 (except in relation to the purchase of preference shares, the contract for which was concluded before the expiry of such authority and which might be executed wholly or partly after such expiry).

Explanatory note to resolution No 38:

On 20 July 2016, the shareholders of Investec plc and Investec Limited approved the off-market purchase (the Off-market Purchase) of the preference shares. Pursuant to the Off-market Purchase Investec plc made a tender offer for all of the preference shares in issue and, to the extent that acceptances were received, a number of preference shares were purchased by Investec plc on 2 August 2016 and these preference shares were subsequently de-listed and cancelled. The directors of Investec plc consider it in the best interests of shareholders generally for Investec plc to have the authority to purchase the remaining preference shares in issue. Investec plc intends to exercise this authority upon preference shares becoming available for purchase provided prevailing market conditions are favourable. Accordingly, the purpose and effect of ordinary resolution No 38 is to grant a general authority to Investec plc to acquire the preference shares. The Company intends to cancel any repurchased preference shares.

In order for ordinary resolution No 38 to be given effect, a majority of at least 75% of the votes of all shareholders present or represented by proxy at the annual general meetings of Investec plc and Investec Limited must be cast in favour of ordinary resolution No 38.

  1. Ordinary resolution: Political donations.

Resolved that:

  • in accordance with section 366 of the UK Companies Act 2006, Investec plc and any company which, at any time during the period for which this resolution has effect, is a subsidiary of Investec plc, be and are hereby authorised to:
  • (i) make donations to political organisations not exceeding £25 000 in total; and
  • (ii) incur political expenditure not exceeding £75 000 in total.

In each case during the period commencing on the date of this resolution and ending on the date of the annual general meeting of Investec plc to be held in 2019, provided that the maximum amounts referred to in (i) and (ii) may consist of sums in any currency converted into pounds sterling at such rate as Investec plc may in its absolute discretion determine. For the purposes of this resolution, the terms 'political donations', 'political organisations' and 'political expenditure' shall have the meanings given to them in sections 363 to 365 of the UK Companies Act 2006.

Explanatory note to resolution No 39:

The reason for ordinary resolution No 39 is that the UK Companies Act 2006 requires companies to obtain shareholder approval before they can make donations to EU political organisations or incur EU political expenditure. Investec plc does not give any money for political purposes in the UK nor does it make any donations to EU political organisations or incur EU political expenditure.

Although Investec plc does not intend to give any money for political purposes in the UK or incur EU political expenditure, the definitions of political donations and political expenditure used in the UK Companies Act 2006 are very wide. The authority is a precautionary measure to ensure that Investec plc and any company which is or becomes a subsidiary of Investec plc does not inadvertently breach the relevant provisions of the UK Companies Act 2006.

The directors of Investec Limited consider that the proposed resolutions in the notice of the annual general meeting are in the best interests of Investec Limited and its shareholders and recommend that you vote in favour as the directors of Investec Limited intend to do in respect of their own beneficial holdings.

Notes to the notice of annual general meeting of Investec Limited

    1. All of the above resolutions are joint electorate actions under the Memorandum of Incorporation of Investec Limited and, accordingly, both the holders of ordinary shares in Investec Limited and the holder of the special convertible redeemable preference shares in Investec Limited are entitled to vote. Voting will be on a poll which will remain open for sufficient time to allow the Investec plc annual general meeting to be held and for the vote of the holder of the Investec Limited special convertible redeemable preference shares to be ascertained and cast on a poll.
    1. On the poll:
    2. (i) each ordinary share in Investec Limited (other than those subject to voting restrictions) will have one vote;
    3. (ii) the holder of the Investec Limited special convertible redeemable preference shares will cast the same number of votes as were validly cast by ordinary shareholders for and against the equivalent resolution by Investec plc shareholders on a poll at the Investec plc annual general meeting;
    4. (iii) the holder of the Investec Limited special convertible redeemable preference shares will be obliged to cast these votes for and against the relevant resolution in accordance with the votes cast for and against the equivalent resolution by Investec plc ordinary shareholders on the poll at the Investec plc annual general meeting;
    5. (iv) through this mechanism, the votes of the Investec plc ordinary shareholders at the Investec plc annual general meeting will be reflected at Investec Limited's annual general meeting in respect of each joint electorate action; and
    6. (v) the results of the joint electorate actions will be announced after both polls have closed.
    1. A shareholder who is entitled to attend and vote at the annual general meeting is entitled to appoint one or more persons as his or her proxy to exercise all or any of his or her rights to attend and to speak and vote at the

annual general meeting, provided that, if more than one proxy is appointed concurrently by a shareholder, each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to different shares held by that shareholder.

    1. A proxy need not be a shareholder of Investec plc or Investec Limited. The person whose name stands first on the form of proxy and who is present at the annual general meeting, will be entitled to act as proxy to the exclusion of whose names follow. Should a proxy not be specified, this will be exercised by the chairman of the meeting.
    1. A form of proxy is attached. The appointment of a proxy will not prevent a shareholder from subsequently attending and voting at the annual general meeting in person.
    1. It is requested that the instrument appointing a proxy and any power of attorney or other authority under which it is executed (or a duly certified copy of any such power or authority) be deposited at the transfer secretary's office at Rosebank Towers, 15 Biermann Avenue, Rosebank, 2196, or e-mail it to [email protected]. Shareholders who have not dematerialised their shares or who have dematerialised their shares with 'own name' registration, and who are entitled to attend, participate in and vote at the annual general meeting, and who do not deliver forms of proxy to the transfer secretaries in South Africa by the relevant time, will nevertheless be entitled to lodge the form of proxy in respect of the annual general meeting immediately prior to the exercising of the shareholders' rights at the annual general meeting, in accordance with the instructions therein, with the chairman of the annual general meeting.

Signature: Date:

A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the annual general meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy (who need not be a shareholder of the company) to attend, and, on a poll, to vote in his place. Each resolution is to be decided on a poll and a shareholder or his proxy shall have one vote for every share held.

Form of proxy

Notes and summary of rights under section 58 of the South African Companies Act, No 71 of 2008, as amended

    1. A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the annual general meeting is entitled to appoint any one or more individuals (who need not be a shareholder of the company) as a proxy to attend, speak and, on a poll, to vote in his place at the annual general meeting, provided that, if more than one proxy is concurrently appointed by a shareholder, each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attaching to different shares held by that shareholder. Such shareholder may insert the name of a proxy or the names of two alternative proxies of the shareholder's choice in the space provided, with or without deleting 'the chairman of the meeting', provided that any such deletion must be signed in full by the shareholder. The person whose name stands first on the proxy form and who is present at the annual general meeting will be entitled to act as proxy to the exclusion of those whose names follow. Should a proxy not be specified, this will be exercised by the chairman of the annual general meeting.
    1. Each resolution is to be decided on a poll and a shareholder or his proxy shall have one vote for every share held. You are not obliged either to cast all your votes or to cast all your votes in the same way. Please instruct your proxy how to vote by either:
  • (i) marking the appropriate box with an 'X' next to each resolution, in which event the proxy will cast all your votes in the manner so specified; or
  • (ii) setting out the number of votes to be cast in each box (i.e. in favour of and/or against and/or by way of abstention) in respect of each resolution provided that, if for any resolution the aggregate number of votes to be cast would exceed the total number of shares held, you will be deemed to have given no specific instruction as to how you wish your proxy to vote in respect of that resolution. Your proxy will have discretion to vote in respect of

your total holding on any resolution on which you have not (or are deemed not to have) given specific instruction as to how to vote and, unless instructed otherwise, on any business which may properly come before the meeting.

    1. The date must be filled in on this form of proxy when it is signed.
    1. If you are signing in a representative capacity, whether for another person or for an organisation, then, in order or this form to be valid, you must include a power of attorney or other written authority that authorises you to sign (or a certified copy of such power or authority).
    1. In the case of a company, the proxy form should either be sealed by the company or signed by a director or an authorised signatory (and the provisions of paragraph 4 shall apply to such authorised signatory).
    1. In the case of joint holders only one needs to sign. If more than one joint holder votes, whether in person or by proxy, only the most senior shareholder who renders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, will be counted. For this purpose, seniority is determined by the order in which shareholders' names appear in the register for that share.
    1. Any alteration or correction made to this form of proxy must be initialled by the signatory or signatories.
    1. A minor must be assisted by his/her parent/guardian and the relevant documentary evidence establishing his/her legal capacity must be attached to this form of proxy unless previously recorded by the company or waived by the chairman of the general meeting.
    1. The chairman of the annual general meeting may reject or accept any proxy form which is completed and/or received other than in compliance with these notes.
    1. The return of this form of proxy will not prevent you from attending the meeting and voting in person.
    1. A proxy may not delegate his/her authority to act on behalf of the shareholder, to another person.
  • The appointment of a proxy or proxies:

(continued)

  • (a) is suspended at any time to the extent that the shareholder chooses to act directly and in person in the exercise of any rights as a shareholder;
  • (b) is revocable in which case the shareholder may revoke the proxy appointment by:
  • (i) cancelling it in writing or making a later inconsistent appointment of a proxy; and
  • (ii) delivering a copy of the revocation instrument to the proxy and to the company.
    1. Should the instrument appointing a proxy or proxies have been delivered to the company, as long as the appointment remains in effect, any notice that is required by the South African Companies Act, 2008, as amended, or the company's Memorandum of Incorporation to be delivered by such company to the shareholder, must be delivered by such company to:
  • (a) the shareholder; or
  • (b) the proxy or proxies, if the shareholder has directed the company to do so in writing and has paid any reasonable fee charged by the company for doing so.
    1. The proxy appointment remains valid only until the end of the relevant meeting at which it was intended to be used, unless revoked as contemplated in section 58(5) of the South African Companies Act, 2008.
    1. It is requested that this form of proxy be deposited at the company's transfer secretaries:
