INVESTEC LIMITED non-redeemable, non-cumulative, non-participating preference shares ("preference shares") REPURCHASE PROGRAMME

 

Investec Limited (the "Company") hereby announces the commencement of a share
repurchase programme (the "Programme"), in compliance with paragraph 5.72 of
the JSE Listings requirements in terms of which the Company may repurchase up
to a maximum of 5% of the Preference Shares in issue as at the date of the
current general authority granted by shareholders. Repurchases of Preference
Shares in terms of the Programme will be made pursuant to and in accordance
with the general authority granted to the Company by its shareholders at the
Company's annual general meeting held on 5 August 2021.  The Company has
notified the Prudential Authority in writing of the repurchase of the
preference shares. No preference shares will be repurchased from directors of
the Company.

 

The Programme commences on 25 May 2022 at the opening of the market and the
Company will issue a further announcement once the programme has been closed.
Repurchases will be executed through the order book operated by the JSE by the
Company's authorised intermediary without any prior understanding or
arrangement between the Company and/or its subsidiaries and the
counterparties.  Repurchases will be effected within certain pre-determined
price limits with specific reference to the limits of the general authority
granted by the Company's shareholders and in compliance with the JSE's
Listings Requirements.

 

Preference shares repurchased under the Programme will be cancelled as issued
shares and will revert to authorised but unissued share capital status.

 

The Programme may be discontinued at any stage during the period concerned and
there is no obligation on the Company to purchase any preference shares during
the period.
