MTNZF unmodified reviewed condensed interims for the 6 months ended 30 June 2020 and withdrawal of cautionary

MTN Zakhele Futhi (RF) Limited
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)
(Date of incorporation: 21 June 2016)
(Registration number: 2016/268837/06)
JSE share code: MTNZF
ISIN: ZAE000279402
LEI: 378900429C4F73B1BE74
(“MTNZF” or the “Company”)

MTNZF unmodified reviewed condensed interim financial statements for the six months ended 30
June 2020 (“interims”) and withdrawal of cautionary announcement

MTNZF shareholders are advised that the Company’s interims have been released and are available
on MTNZF’s website at https://www.mtnzakhelefuthi.co.za/investor-relations and for inspection at
MTNZF’s registered address at 135 Rivonia Road, Sandown, 2196, Johannesburg. MTNZF shareholders
are further advised that the unmodified review report of the independent auditors,
SizweNtsalubaGobodo Grant Thornton Inc., included in the interims, contains the following paragraph
on material uncertainty relating to going concern: “We draw attention to note 11 in the Condensed
financial statements, which indicates that the R15 million advance provided by Mobile Telephone
Networks Holdings Limited will only allow the company to meet its obligations for the next 7 months,
until MTN’s final dividend declaration decision becomes known. Mobile Telephone Networks Holdings
Limited has committed to an additional R15 million advance in the event that the MTN Group does
not declare a dividend. Taking both advances into account, MTN Zakhele Futhi (RF) Limited will not
have enough cash to meet its preference share obligations in April 2021. MTN Group Limited has
indicated MTN Group’s intention to support the company should it not declare a dividend. This is
however subject to approvals which could not be guaranteed at the time of the audit report. As stated
in note 11, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in note 11, indicate that
a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a
going concern. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.”

MTNZF shareholders are referred to the cautionary announcements dated 3 August 2020, 6 August
2020 and 18 September 2020 and are advised that, as the interims have now been released and MTN
Group Limited has indicated, amongst other potential forms of support, that there is an additional R15
million which can be advanced as and when the Company needs the liquidity, caution is no longer
required to be exercised by MTNZF shareholders when dealing in the Company’s ordinary shares.
