Notice of the 29th Annual General Meeting

MTN GROUP LIMITED

Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa (Registration number 1994/009584/06) JSE share code: MTN

ISIN: ZAE000042164

(MTN Group or the Company)

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS

This document contains:

  • The Notice of the 29th Annual General Meeting (AGM) to be held virtually on Friday, 24 May 2024 at 14h30, setting out the resolutions to be proposed thereat, together with explanatory notes. There are also guidance notes to vote by proxy or to participate virtually.
  • A form of proxy for use by shareholders holding MTN Group ordinary shares in certificated form or recorded in sub-registered electronic form in 'own name'.

Who may attend?

Shareholders on the MTN Group share register who have dematerialised their ordinary shares through STRATE, other than those whose shareholding is recorded in their 'own name' in the sub-register maintained by their CSDP, and who wish to attend the meeting electronically, will need to request their CSDP, broker or nominee to provide them with the necessary letter of authority to do so in terms of the custody agreement entered into between the dematerialised shareholders and their CSDP, broker or nominee.

A shareholder (including certificated shareholders and dematerialised shareholders who hold their shares with 'own name' registration) who is entitled to attend and vote at the meeting is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend, participate in and vote at the meeting in his/her/its stead. A proxy does not have to be a shareholder of the Company but must be an individual.

Who may vote?

All shareholders holding MTN Group shares as at the voting record date are entitled to vote. Every holder of shares present, virtually or by proxy at the meeting shall, on a poll, be entitled to one vote for every share held. Shareholders who arrive after the commencement of the AGM will be entitled to vote only on matters voted on after the point in time at which they attend the meeting.

Voting and proxies

Every shareholder who is entitled to attend and vote at the AGM is entitled to appoint a proxy.

It is requested that duly completed forms of proxy be lodged at the registered office of the Company or with the Company's South African transfer secretaries (Computershare Investor Services), preferably not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting to allow for effective administration. The name and address of the transfer secretaries are given on the back of the form of proxy. Shareholders also have the option of returning their proxy by email to: proxy@computershare.co.za.

All beneficial owners of shares who have dematerialised their shares through a CSDP or broker, other than those shareholders who have dematerialised their shares in 'own name' registration, and all beneficial owners of shares who hold certificated shares through a nominee, must provide their CSDP, broker or nominee with their voting instructions. Voting instructions must reach the CSDP, broker or nominee in sufficient time and in accordance with the agreement between the beneficial owner and the CSDP, broker or nominee, as the case may be, to allow the CSDP, broker or nominee to carry out the instructions and lodge the requisite authority immediately before the meeting.

Should such beneficial owners, however, wish to attend the meeting in person, they may do so by requesting their CSDP, broker or nominee to issue them with appropriate authority in terms of the agreement entered into between the beneficial owner and the CSDP, broker or nominee, as the case may be.

MTN Group has a large number of shareholders and it is not possible for all of them to attend the meeting. In view of this fact and because voting on resolutions at AGMs of the MTN Group is regarded as of high importance, putting all resolutions to a vote on a poll takes account of the wishes of those shareholders who are unable to attend the meeting in person, but have completed a form of proxy. A vote on a poll also takes into account the number of shares held by each shareholder, which the MTN Group Board (the Board) believes is a more democratic procedure. This year, all resolutions will again be proposed to be put to vote on a poll.

Voting at the AGM

Voting at the AGM will be undertaken electronically.An electronic virtual voting mechanism will be enabled for all shareholders who attend and are eligible to vote before the start of the meeting. The registrars will identify each shareholder's individual shareholding so that the number of votes that each shareholder has at the meeting will be linked to the number of votes that each shareholder will be able to exercise at the meeting. Shareholders who have completed and returned forms of proxy indicating their required votes will not need to vote at the meeting unless they wish to change their vote. The voting process for shareholders who elect to participate electronically has been detailed in the online shareholders' guide on page 15. Shareholders are encouraged to participate and use the form of proxy to ensure that their votes form part of the decisions of the Company's shareholders.

Electronic participation

This meeting will be conducted by electronic communication as contemplated in section 63(2)(b) of the Companies Act and shareholders can access the meeting platform at https://web.lumiagm.com. As part of the registration process, a unique meeting ID, username and password will be sent either via SMS or email to each shareholder who has pre-registered and is entitled to participate at the meeting. A shareholders' guide is available on page 15 of this booklet to assist and provide meeting participation guidelines.

Shareholder questions

Shareholders are invited to submit their questions in advance by sending an email to Cosecqueries@mtn.com by 14:00 on Friday, 17 May 2024. Additionally, an online platform will be set up to enable you to ask questions during the meeting. Further details on how to ask a question virtually (verbally or by messaging) are set out on page 17 of this notice. We would like to respond to as many shareholders' questions as possible and therefore we will answer questions during the meeting in a way that aims to best recognise the interests of all shareholders. To assist with this, we ask that you help us to facilitate access from as many shareholders as possible by limiting the number of questions and keeping your questions succinct, focused on and relevant to the business of the meeting.

Voting percentage required to pass resolutions

In principle all ordinary resolutions require the support of more than 50% (fifty per cent) of the voting rights exercised on each of them by the shareholders, whether present in person, or represented by proxy.

However, in terms of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements (JSE Listings Requirements), ordinary resolution 6 (general authority for directors to allot and issue ordinary shares for cash) requires the support of at least 75% (seventy-five percent) of the voting rights exercised on this resolution by the shareholders, whether present in person, or represented by proxy.

All special resolutions require the support of at least 75% (seventy-five percent) of the voting rights exercised on each of them by the shareholders, whether present in person, or represented by proxy.

Endorsement of the Company's remuneration policy and remuneration implementation report requires a non-binding advisory vote.

Identification of meeting participants

Section 63(1) of the Companies Act stipulates that meeting participants (including proxies) are required to provide reasonably satisfactory identification and evidence of authority (where applicable) before being entitled to attend or participate in the AGM. Forms of identification include valid identity documents, drivers' licences and passports.

  • In the case of options/convertible securities, this is subject to the inclusion of a statement by the Board of Directors confirming whether the issue is fair based on a fairness opinion from an independent expert acceptable to the JSE, if the strike or conversion price of the options/ convertible securities are at a discount that exceeds a 10% (ten percent) discount to the weighted average traded price on the JSE of those shares over the 30 (thirty) business days prior to the date that the price of the issue is agreed between the Company and the party subscribing for the securities.

Notice of Annual General Meeting for the year ended 31 December 2023

Notice of the 29th Annual General Meeting

Notice of the 29th Annual General Meeting continued

Information pertinent to special resolution number 1

The reason for special resolutions number 1.1 to 1.34 is to grant the Company the authority to pay remuneration to its non-executive directors for their services as directors in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act. The effect of the special resolutions number 1.1 to 1.34 is that the Company will be able to pay its non-executive directors for the services they render to the Company as directors, until the next AGM. As the Strategy Execution Committee was only established after the 2023 AGM, the approval of remuneration for members of this committee is new and, accordingly, resolutions 1.27 to 1.30 thus incorporate both an approval of fees for the period until the Company's next AGM, as well as an approval for the fees for the period from its commencement to this AGM, with the fees paid or payable for this period being approved and, to the extent required, ratified. Percentage voting for each of special resolutions number 1.1 to 1.34 will be considered by way of a separate vote and, in order for each such resolution to be adopted, the support of at least 75% (seventy-five percent) of votes cast by shareholders present or represented by proxy at this AGM is required on such resolution.

Special resolution number 2

Repurchase of the Company's shares

"Resolved that the Company and/or a subsidiary of the Company, is authorised to repurchase or purchase, as the case may be, shares issued by the Company, from any person, upon such terms and conditions and in such number as the directors of the Company or the subsidiary may from time to time determine, including that such shares be repurchased or purchased from the capital redemption reserve fund, but subject to the applicable requirements of the Company's MOI, the Companies Act and the JSE Listings Requirements, each as presently constituted and as amended from time to time; and subject further to the restriction that the repurchase or purchase, as the case may be, by the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries, of shares in the Company of any class under this authority shall not, in aggregate in any one financial year, exceed 10% (ten percent) of the shares in issue in such class as at the commencement of such financial year."

Explanatory note with pertinent information to special resolution number 2

The Board has considered the impact of a repurchase or purchase, as the case may be, of up to 10% (ten percent) of the Company's shares, which falls within the amount permissible under a general authority in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements and, in respect of acquisitions by subsidiaries of the Company, in terms of the Companies Act.

Should the opportunity arise and should the directors deem it to be advantageous to the Company, or any of its subsidiaries, to repurchase or purchase, as the case may be, such shares, it is considered appropriate that the directors (and relevant subsidiaries) be authorised to repurchase or purchase, as the case may be, the Company's shares.

Pursuant to the JSE Listings Requirements, the Company or any subsidiary of the Company may only make a general repurchase or purchase of the shares in the Company under the foregoing authority subject to the following:

  1. The repurchase or purchase of securities being effected through the order book operated by the JSE Limited (JSE) trading system and done without any prior understanding or arrangement between the Company and the counterparty (reported trades are prohibited).
  2. Authorisation thereto is given in terms of the MOI.
  3. At any point in time, the Company may only appoint one agent to effect the general repurchase(s) on the Company's behalf.
  1. Approval by shareholders in terms of a special resolution of the Company, in annual general/general meeting, which shall be valid only until the next AGM or for 15 (fifteen) months from the date of the resolution, whichever period is shorter.
  2. A resolution by the Board that it authorises the repurchase, that the Company and its subsidiaries have passed the solvency and liquidity test as contemplated in S4 of the Companies Act and that since the test was performed there have been no material changes to the financial position of MTN Group.
  3. The Company or its subsidiaries may not repurchase any of the Company's shares during a prohibited period as defined in the JSE Listings Requirements, unless they have in place a repurchase programme and the Company has submitted the repurchase programme to the JSE in writing prior to the commencement of a prohibited period, which will include the following details:
    • The name of the independent agent.
    • The date the independent agent was appointed by the Company.
    • The commencement and termination date of the repurchase programme.
    • Where the quantities of securities to be traded during the relevant period are fixed (not subject to variation).

The Company will instruct only one independent third party, which makes its investment decisions in relation to the Company's securities independently of, and uninfluenced by, the Company, prior to commencement of the prohibited period to execute the repurchase programme submitted to the JSE.

7. No repurchases may be made at a price that is greater than 10% (ten percent) above the weighted average of the market value for the securities for the five business days immediately preceding the date on which the transaction is effected (the maximum price). The JSE will be consulted for a ruling if the Company's securities have not traded in such a five-day period.

After considering the effects of such maximum repurchase, the Board states that:

  • The Company and the Group will be able to, in the ordinary course of business, pay its debts for a period of 12 months after the date of the Notice of AGM.
  • The assets of the Company and the Group will be in excess of the liabilities of the Company and the Group for a period of 12 months after the date of the Notice of AGM. For this purpose, the assets and liabilities should be recognised and measured in accordance with the accounting policies used in the latest Audited Consolidated Annual Group Financial Statements.
  • The share capital and reserves of the Company and the Group will be adequate for ordinary business purposes for a period of 12 months after the date of the Notice of AGM.
  • The working capital of the Company and the Group will be adequate for ordinary business purposes for a period of 12 months after the date of the Notice of AGM.
