What will be the value of MTN Zakhele shares when trading starts? When trading commences on 25 November 2013, the price of the share will be determined by the market. A market consists of both buyers and sellers who have their own opinions on the future value of the shares. However, MTN Zakhele has asked independent stock market analysts to publish their opinions on the value of MTN Zakhele shares. These valuation reports are available on the MTN Zakhele trading website Please note that: these valuations are not the actual share price; these valuations are not the opinion of MTN, MTN Zakhele, their directors, any of their staff, advisers or service providers; the price at which the shares will trade may be lower or higher than the valuations. They may even be much lower or much higher; only eligible Black People and Black Groups are allowed to buy and sell the shares. Because there is a small group of buyers and sellers, this could mean that the price at which the shares trade may also be much lower than the valuations; if you rely on these valuations, you do this at your own risk. MTN, MTN Zakhele, their directors, staff, advisers and service providers will not be legally responsible (liable) for any harm or loss or damage that you or others may suffer because of this. This means that you will have no claim against MTN, MTN Zakhele, their directors, their staff, their advisers and their service providers if you make decisions based on the valuations or if the price of the shares is higher or lower than the valuations. This applies only as far as the law allows
