Investec plc has therefore today submitted the following documents to the UK
Listing Authority:

* Proxy Form 2008
* Amended Articles of Association of Investec plc
These documents will shortly be available for inspection at the UK Listing

Tel no. + 44 (0)20 7676 1000
Shareholders should note Resolution No. 41 and 42 will be proposed to amend
Investec plc`s Articles of Association.
The reason for and effect of Resolution No.41 is to align the number of
authorised special converting shares in Investec plc following the increase in
the authorised ordinary share capital of Investec Limited thereby complying with
the Dual Listing Company agreements in place between Investec plc and Investec
Limited.
The reason for and effect of Resolution No. 42 is to amend and replace the
Articles of Association of Investec plc to reflect those provisions of the
Companies Act 2006 (the "2006 Act") that either are already in force or are
expected to be enacted by 1 October 2008:
* Provisions in the current Articles which replicate provisions contained in
the Companies Act, 1985 are amended to bring them into line with the 2006
Act.
* Provisions in the current Articles dealing with the convening of general
meetings and the length of notice required to convene general meetings are
being amended to conform to new provisions in the 2006 Act.
* The time limits for the appointment or termination of a proxy appointment
have been altered by the 2006 Act.
* Multiple proxies may be appointed provided each proxy is appointed to
exercise the rights attached to a different share held by the member.
* Under the 2006 Act, from 1 October 2008, a director must avoid situations
where he has, or can have, a direct or indirect interest that conflicts or
may conflict with the company`s interests. The 2006 Act allows directors of
public companies to authorise conflicts and potential conflicts. The new
Articles give the directors authority to approve such situations and to
include other provisions to allow conflicts of interest to be dealt with in
a similar way to the current position.
