Nashua Mobile disposal transaction

•  Staff remained focused and delivered excellent customer service
•  Anticipated proceeds from the networks are approximately R200m lower than expected in
April 2014 due to revenue base erosion
•  Net cash flows from the transaction are estimated at R2bn, which is in line with our
expectations at the deal date
