1.1 Following the unbundling by Telkom SA Limited of its remaining 35% shareholding in Vodacom in May 2009, Vodacom acquired a significant shareholder base, which includes a number of small minority shareholders holding less than 500 Vodacom shares.
1.2 In order to facilitate an inexpensive method for minority shareholders in Vodacom to realise their investment in Vodacom where they receive an offer price at a premium per Vodacom share and do not have to incur transaction costs, the directors are proposing the implementation of an odd-lot offer, as well as a specific offer to repurchase the shares of shareholders holding from 100 to 500 shares. In doing so the company will also be able to reduce the substantial and ongoing costs of administration connected with a large number of odd-lot and specific holders. As at 31 January 2010, 59 091 shareholders, being 61.5% of the total number of shareholders, hold less than 100 shares each. An additional 27 181 shareholders, being 28.3% of the total number of shareholders, hold from 100 to 500 shares each. This means that 89.8% of the total number of shareholders hold 500 shares or less each. These shareholders hold approximately 8 572 500 shares in aggregate, which constitutes only approximately 0.58% of the total number of shares in issue. In terms of the odd-lot offer, odd-lot holders are offered the opportunity to: 1.2.1 sell their odd-lot holdings for the cash consideration; or 1.2.2 retain their odd-lot holdings. Those odd-lot holders who do not make an election will automatically be regarded as having chosen to sell their odd-lot holdings for the cash consideration.
1.3 In the case of specific holders, Vodacom is extending a specific offer to acquire their entire shareholding for the cash consideration. Those specific holders who do not make an election will retain their shareholding in Vodacom.
1.4 Minority shareholders are encouraged to carefully read this circular and complete the relevant election form. Any odd -lot holder or specific holder who is uncertain as to what course of action to take, must either consult with their advis er, banker, broker, CSDP or contact Computershare on telephone +27 0861 100 918. 1. 5 It is a term of the offers that Vodacom shall be entitled to refuse to implement the
purchase of shares pursuant to the offers in respect of any odd-lot holder or specific
holder whom Vodacom reasonably believes has become an odd-lot holder or specific
holder (as the case may be) in order to take advantage of the odd-lot offer or the
specific offer and such odd-lot holder or specific holder will have no claim against
Vodacom arising out of or in connection with such refusal.

2 GENERAL
2.1 A notice of a general meeting of shareholders forms part of this circular. The general meeting is convened to be held in Talk100, Vodaworld, 082 Vodacom Boulevard, Vodavalley, Midrand at 15:00 on Thursday 4 March 2010 for the purpose of obtaining the necessary approvals required to give effect to the offers.
2.2 At the general meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider and approve the necessary special and ordinary resolutions to allow for, and give effect to the offers including: 2.2.1 authority for the directors to implement the odd-lot offer; and2.2.3 authority for Vodacom or its wholly-owned subsidiary Wheatfields to purchase shares in terms of the 2.3 The offers are conditional upon the above resolutions being passed at the general meeting and the special resolution being registered by CIPRO.
2.4 Shareholders who do not wish, or who are unable to attend the general meeting should refer to the “Action Required” section commencing on page 1 in regard to the appointment of a proxy to attend and vote at the general meeting.
3.1 Record date
The record date is the close of business on Friday 26 March 2010. If a shareholder holds less than 100 shares on the record date, such shareholder is an odd-lot holder and as such is entitled to take part in the odd-lot offer. A shareholder with a holding of from 100 to 500 shares on the record date is a specific holder and as such is entitled to take part in the specific offer. Shareholders will not be advised individually as to whether they are entitled to take part in the offers, and accordingly each shareholder must determine this on their own. No further documentation will be sent to shareholders in this regard. 3.2 Last day to trade
Shareholders are advised that the last date to trade in order to take part in the offers will be Thursday 18 March 2010. Any shareholder who sells down to below 100 shares after 18 March 2010 will not be treated as an odd-lot holder for the purposes of the odd-lot offer. If an odd-lot holder acquires additional shares by close of business on Thursday 18 March 2010, and the odd-lot holder’s shareholding at the close of the business on Friday 26 March 2010 exceeds 99 but is not greater than 500 shares as a result of such acquisition, then the shareholder will be entitled to participate in the specific offer. If such holding exceeds 500 shares, however, the shareholder will not be allowed to participate in the specific offer.
3.3 It is a term of the offers that Vodacom shall be entitled to refuse to implement the
purchase of shares pursuant to the offers in respect of any odd-lot holder or specific
holder whom Vodacom reasonably believes has become an odd-lot holder or specific
holder (as the case may be) in order to take advantage of the odd-lot offer or the
specific offer and such odd-lot holder or specific holder will have no claim against
Vodacom arising out of or in connection with such refusal.

3.4 Offer price
The offer price of R56.61 per share was calculated using the volume weighted average traded price of shares on the JSE over the 10 (ten) trading days commencing on Monday 25 January 2010 and ending on Friday 5 February 2010, plus a 5% (five percent) premium. The offer price was released on SENS on Wednesday 10 February 2010 and published in the South African press on Thursday 11 February 2010. Shareholders who choose the cash consideration will receive the offer price of R56.61 per share.
3.5 Compulsory sale of odd-lot holdings (DOES NOT APPLY TO THE SPECIFIC OFFER)
Vodacom or its wholly-owned subsidiary Wheatfields will repurchase the odd-lot holdings of any odd-lot holder who does not make an election or who chooses the cash consideration. Any repurchase by Vodacom or its wholly-owned subsidiary Wheatfields will be treated as an acquisition of shares under a specific approval in terms of section 89 of the Companies Act and as a specific repurchase of securities in terms of Those odd-lot holders who do not make an election will automatically be regarded as having chosen and 3.6 Transaction costs
3.6.1 Odd-lot holders and specific holders will not have to bear any transaction costs.
3.6.2 The transfer costs of odd-lot holders and specific holders who sell their holdings to Vodacom or its wholly-owned subsidiary Wheatfields (being securities transfer tax) will be borne by Vodacom or its wholly-owned subsidiary Wheatfields.
3.6.3 Vodacom, by proposing the offers, is therefore making it possible for the odd-lot holders and specific holders who wish to dispose of their shareholding to do so in a cost effective manner.
3.7 Mechanism
3.7.1 The offers are expected to be open for acceptance from 09:00 on Wednesday 10 February 2010 and will close at 12:00 on Friday 26 March 2010. All shareholders who hold a total of less than 100 shares as at the record date will be entitled to participate in the odd-lot offer, and shareholders with shareholdings from 100 to 500 shares as at the record date will be entitled to take part in the specific offer. The procedure on how such shareholders must make their choice (election and surrender procedure) is set out in paragraph 3.8 below.
3.7.2 The shares of those odd-lot holders who do not make an election or who choose the cash consideration will be repurchased by Vodacom or its wholly-owned subsidiary Wheatfields at the offer price. Any such repurchase will be regarded as a specific repurchase of shares in terms of the Companies Act and the Listings Requirements. 3.7.3 The shares of those specific holders who choose the cash consideration will be repurchased by Vodacom or its wholly-owned subsidiary Wheatfields at the offer price. Any such repurchase will be regarded as a specific repurchase in terms of the Companies Act and the Listings Requirements. 3.7.4 Odd-lot holders who do not make an election should note that their shares will automatically be repurchased by Vodacom or its wholly-owned subsidiary Wheatfields, without any further action on their part and without any further notice to them. 3.7.5 Specific holders who do not make an election will retain their shareholdings in Vodacom. 3.8 Election and surrender procedure
3.8.1.1 sell their odd-lot holdings to Vodacom or its wholly-owned subsidiary Wheatfields at the 3.8.1.2 retain their odd-lot holdings. If such shareholders want to retain their odd-lot holding they have to make this election. Those odd-lot holders who do not make an election will automatically be regarded as having chosen and accepted the cash consideration.
3.8.2 Specific holders may choose to sell their specific holdings to Vodacom or its wholly-owned subsidiary Wheatfields at the offer price. Those specific holders who do not make an election will 3.8.3 The choice made by odd-lot holders and specific holders is final and may not be withdrawn once 3.8.4 Certificated odd-lot holders must complete the attached blue form of election and surrender and return it to Computershare, to be received by no later than 12:00 on Friday 26 March 2010. Certificated specific holders must complete the attached pink form of election and surrender and return it to Computershare, to be received by no later than 12:00 on Friday 26 March 2010. 3.8.5 Dematerialised odd-lot holders and dematerialised specific holders should instruct their CSDP or broker as to what action they wish to take in the time and manner stipulated in the agreement entered into between them and their CSDP or broker. Dematerialised odd-lot holders and specific holders must NOT return their respective forms of election and surrender to Computershare.
3.8.6 Odd-lot holders who do not make an election should note that their odd-lot holdings will be repurchased by Vodacom or its wholly-owned subsidiary Wheatfields without any further action on their part and without any further notice to them. However, until such odd-lot holders make a claim, the money owing to them (being the proceeds of the sale of their odd-lot holdings) will be held by the company on their behalf.
All unclaimed proceeds (of such repurchase) may be invested or otherwise made use of by the directors for the benefit of the company until claimed, provided that such proceeds unclaimed for a period of 3 (three) years from the date on which the directors caused the odd-lots to be sold may be declared forfeited by the directors for the benefit of the company. 3.8.7 If any documents of title of certificated odd-lot holders or specific holders have been lost or destroyed and the odd-lot holder or specific holder concerned produces evidence to this effect to the satisfaction of Computershare and the company, then Computershare, subject to obtaining Vodacom’s consent, may dispense with the surrender of such existing documents of title against provision of an acceptable indemnity.
3.8.8 Receipts for the surrender of documents of title of certificated odd-lot holders and specific holders will be issued only on request. In compliance with the Listings Requirements, lodging agents are requested to prepare special transaction receipts if required.
3.8.9 In the event of an odd-lot holder not making an election to retain his odd-lot holding it must be drawn to his attention that his share certificates will no longer be good for trading after the last day to trade, other than to receive the proceeds of the sale of such shares (being the offer price), upon surrender.
3.8.10 Subject to the implementation of the offers, it will be necessary for certificated odd-lot holders and specific holders who have elected to sell their odd-lot holdings or specific holdings (as the case may be), either by completing the relevant option set out in the appropriate form of election and surrender in the case of odd-lot holders by not responding, to submit all existing documents of title under cover of the attached form of election and surrender to Computershare. Those odd-lot holders and specific holders who elect to retain their shares, by completing the relevant option set out in the appropriate form of election and surrender or (in the case of specific holders) not responding, should retain their current share certificates in respect of their odd-lot holdings and specific holdings (as the case may be). 3.8.11 Securities transfer tax, if any, will be paid by Vodacom.
3.8.12 Nominee companies will be treated as a single shareholder, but should a nominee company choose to dispose of odd-lot and/or specific holdings on behalf of principals whose shareholdings constitute odd-lot or specific holdings, it may do so by applying in writing to Computershare, giving details of the number of shares involved, such application to be received by no later than 12:00 on Friday 26 March 2010. 3.8.13 For those odd-lot holders and specific holders who choose the cash consideration, all forms of election and surrender, received by Computershare by no later than 12:00 on Friday 26 March 2010, will be processed and payment will be made by electronic fund transfers into the shareholder’s bank account on or about Monday 29 March 2010, if such shareholder has provided the banking details on the form. Alternatively, if the shareholder has not provided its banking details on the form, cheques will be posted on or about Monday 29 March 2010, by ordinary post, to the respective shareholders at the risk of such shareholders. All claims that are received after 12:00 on Friday 26 March 2010 will be processed within 5 (five) business days of receipt of the claim and payment will be made by cheque which will be posted by ordinary post to the shareholder at the risk of such shareholder.
3.8.14 In respect of dematerialised odd-lot holders and specific holders who elect to participate in the offers, or in the case of odd-lot holders who fail to make an election, their accounts held at their CSDP or broker will be credited with the cash amount on or about Monday 29 March 2010.
3.9 Effect on share capital
The maximum number of shares which potentially could be repurchased by Vodacom or its wholly-owned subsidiary Wheatfields if all odd-lot holders and specific holders sell their holdings to Vodacom or its wholly-owned subsidiary Wheatfields will not exceed 8 572 500 shares. As the current issued share capital of Vodacom (prior to the implementation of the odd-lot offer and specific offer) comprises 1 487 954 000 shares with no par value, the repurchase of odd-lot and specific holdings will have no material effect on Vodacom’s issued share capital. Subject to the special resolutions detailed below being passed at the general meeting and the registration thereof by CIPRO, all shares sold by odd-lot holders and specific holders in terms of the offers will be repurchased by Vodacom or its wholly-owned subsidiary Wheatfields in terms of section 89 of the Companies Act.
3.10 Financial effects
The repurchase of shares pursuant to the offers will have no significant effect on Vodacom’s earnings per share, net asset value per share or tangible net asset value per share.
Assuming the maximum number of 8 572 500 shares are repurchased in terms of the offers the financial cost is expected to be R500 million with an additional R2.9 million for the expenses of the transaction. Vodacom will incur an estimated R 40 million funding cost over the next 12 (twelve) months as a result of implementing the offers.
3.11 Source of funds
Vodacom’s existing cash resources will be utilised to satisfy any cash requirements arising out of the offers.
3.12 Directors’ statement on working capital
Having considered the possible effects of repurchasing shares in terms of the offers, the directors are of the opinion that:3.12.1 the Vodacom Group will be able in the ordinary course of business to pay its debts for a period of 12 (twelve) months after the date of the approval of the circular; 3.12.2 the assets of the Vodacom Group will be in excess of the liabilities of the Vodacom Group for a period of 12 (twelve) months after the date of the approval of the circular. For this purpose, assets and liabilities will be recognised and measured in accordance with the accounting policies used in the latest audited consolidated annual financial statements; 3.12.3 the share capital and reserves of the Vodacom Group will be adequate for ordinary business purposes for a period of 12 (twelve) months after the date of the approval of the circular; and 3.12.4 working capital of the Vodacom Group will be adequate for ordinary business purposes for a period of 12 (twelve) months after the date of the approval of the circular. 3.13 Non-resident shareholders
The making of the offers in, or to shareholders resident in, jurisdictions outside South Africa, or to persons who are, or are nominees of or trustees for, citizens, residents or nationals of other countries, may be affected by the laws of the relevant country in which they reside. Such persons must acquaint themselves with and observe any applicable legal requirements. It is the responsibility of any such person wishing to accept the odd-lot offer or specific offer to satisfy himself as to the full observance of the laws of the relevant jurisdiction in connection therewith, including obtaining any governmental or other consents which may be required or the compliance with other necessary formalities and the payment of any issue, transfer or other taxes due in such jurisdiction.

Notice is hereby given that a general meeting of shareholders will be held in Talk100, Vodaworld, 082 Vodacom Boulevard, Vodavalley, Midrand at 15:00 on Thursday 4 March 2010, to consider and, if deemed fit, to pass, with or without modification, the following resolutions: SPECIAL RESOLUTION NUMBER 1 – SPECIFIC AUTHORITY TO REPURCHASE SHARES
“RESOLVED THAT the company, through its wholly-owned susbsidiary, Wheatfields Investments 276 (Proprietary)
Limited, is hereby authorised by way of a specific authority in terms of the section 89 of the Companies Act, the Listings
Requirements of the JSE Limited (“JSE”) and article 13 of the company’s articles of association, to acquire, at a price
of R 56.61 per share:
1. pursuant to the odd-lot offer (“odd-lot offer”), details of which are contained in the circular (“circular”) to shareholders to which the notice convening this general meeting was attached, the shares of those shareholders (“odd-lot holders”) holding less than 100 (one hundred) shares in the company (“odd-lot holdings”) who elect pursuant to the odd-lot offer to sell their odd-lot holdings or who do not make an election to retain their odd-lot holdings; and 2. pursuant to a specific offer (“specific offer”), the details of which are contained in the circular, the shares of those shareholders (“specific holders”) holding from 100 (one hundred) to 500 (five hundred) shares (“specific holdings”) who elect pursuant to the specific offer to sell their specific holdings. The shares acquired will be held as treasury shares.
Reason for and effect of special resolution number 1
The reason for special resolution number 1 is to obtain a specific approval in terms of section 89 of the Companies Act for the acquisition by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company from the odd-lot holders of their odd-lot holdings as proposed in the odd-lot offer, and from specific holders of their specific holdings as proposed in the specific offer. The effect of special resolution number 1 is that Vodacom will be authorised, by way of a specific authority through its wholly-owned subsidiary, to acquire shares in the company in terms of the odd-lot offer from the odd-lot holders who elect to sell their odd-lot holding or who do not make an election, and in terms of the specific offer from specific holders who elect to sell their specific holdings . Statement by the directors of the company
The directors, after considering the effect of the repurchase, are of the opinion that:– the Vodacom Group will be able in the ordinary course of business to pay its debts for a period of 12 (twelve) months after the date of the approval of the circular; – the assets of the Vodacom Group will be in excess of the liabilities of the Vodacom Group for a period of 12 (twelve) months after the date of the approval of the circular. For this purpose, the assets and liabilities will be recognised and measured in accordance with the accounting policies used in the latest audited consolidated annual financial statements; – the share capital and reserves of the Vodacom Group will be adequate for ordinary business purposes for a period of 12 (twelve) months after the date of approval of the circular; and – the working capital of the Vodacom Group will be adequate for ordinary business purposes for a period of 12 (twelve) months after the date of approval of the circular. ORDINARY RESOLUTION NUMBER 1 – AUTHORITY TO MAKE AND IMPLEMENT ODD-LOT OFFER
RESOLVED THAT, subject to the passing and registration of special resolution number 1, the directors of the
company be and are hereby authorised and empowered, as required in terms of article 49 of the articles of association
of the company, to make and implement an odd-lot offer to shareholders holding less than 100 (one hundred) shares
in the company as at the close of business on Friday 26 March 2010, according to the terms and conditions of the
odd-lot offer contained in the circular and which has been approved by the JSE.”
Voting and proxies
In terms of Vodacom’s articles of association, voting is by way of a poll only. On a poll every shareholder present in person or represented by proxy shall have one vote for every share they hold or represent.
The necessary form of proxy accompanies this notice. A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the general meeting may appoint one or more proxies to attend, speak and vote in place of such shareholder. A proxy so appointed need not be a shareholder of the company. Duly completed forms of proxy must be lodged with Computershare at the address below to be received by no later than 15:00 on Wednesday 3 March 2010.
Shareholders who have dematerialised their shares, other than those shareholders who have dematerialised their shares with “own name” registration, should contact their CSDP or broker in the manner and time stipulated in their agreement:– to furnish them with their voting instructions; and– in the event that they wish to attend the meeting, to obtain the necessary authority to do so.
Shares held by a share trust or scheme will not have their vote at general meetings taken into account for the purposes of resolutions proposed in terms of the Listings Requirements.
