MTN GROUP OFFER TO SHAREHOLDERS OF INVESTCOM LLC ("the OFFER") BECOMES
UNCONDITIONAL AS TO ACCEPTANCES
Further to the announcement dated 20 June 2006, MTN Group shareholders are
advised that as at 5.00p.m. Dubai time on 22 June 2006, MTN Group had received
valid acceptances of the Offer in respect of 1,120,281,524 Investcom shares
(representing approximately 78.1% of the issued share capital of Investcom).
These acceptances include the acceptance of the Offer by M1 Limited pursuant to
the irrevocable undertaking to accept the Offer described in paragraph 5 of the
circular to MTN Group shareholders dated 12 June 2006. Other than that
irrevocable undertaking, MTN Group did not hold any Investcom shares or rights
over such shares before the Offer period commenced and has not acquired or
agreed to acquire any Investcom shares during the Offer period (other than by
way of acceptances of the Offer). The Offer has therefore become unconditional
as to acceptances.
The Offer remains open for acceptances and the first closing date of the Offer
will be on 28 June 2006. A further announcement regarding acceptance levels as
at the first closing date of the Offer will be made on 29 June 2006. Further
announcements will also be made in due course in relation to the fulfillment or
waiver of the remaining conditions to which the Offer is subject.
