Covid-19 – annual general meeting – Tuesday 21 July 2020

Shareholders are referred to the 25th annual general meeting to be held on Tuesday 21 July
2020 at 10:00 at Vodacom World, 082 Vodacom Boulevard, Midrand, Johannesburg to
consider, and if deemed fit, to pass with or without modification, the resolutions as set in the

and which notice is available on the company’s website www.vodacom.com.

Vodacom reiterates that the health and wellbeing of our staff and shareholders are paramount.
Notwithstanding the declaration by the South African Government of an advanced level 3
lockdown set of regulations which do allow for conferencing, subject to strict health
requirements, Vodacom has taken note of the continued increase in the infection rate for
COVID-19. To protect shareholders and staff, the 25th annual general meeting will now be held
in electronic form only as permitted by the company’s memorandum of incorporation.

Logistical arrangements for an electronic annual general meeting

   1. Vodacom has retained the services The Meeting Specialist Proprietary Limited (“TMS”)

      general meeting are required to contact TMS on proxy@tmsmeetings.co.za or

      administrative purposes no later than 10:00 Friday 17 July 2020.

       Shareholders are strongly encouraged to submit votes by proxy before the meeting. If
       shareholders wish to participate in the 25th annual general meeting, they should instruct
       their CSDP or broker to issue them with the necessary letter of representation to
       participate in the 25th annual general meeting, in the manner stipulated in your custody
       agreement. These instructions must be provided to the CSDP or broker by the cut-off
       time and date advised by the CSDP or broker, to accommodate such requests.

   3. TMS will assist shareholders with the requirements for electronic participation in, and/or
      voting at, the 25th annual general meeting. TMS is further obliged to validate (in
      correspondence with Vodacom and, in particular, the transfer secretary, (Computershare

      not be for the account of the JSE, Vodacom and/or TMS. None of the JSE, Vodacom or
      TMS can be held accountable in the case of loss of network connectivity or other
      network failure due to insufficient airtime, internet connectivity, internet bandwidth and/or
