Investec plc.
The reason for and effect of Resolution No. 39 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

The reason for and effect of Resolution No. 40 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 2009:
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.
The time limits for the appointment or termination of a proxy appointment have
been clarified in line with the 2006 Act.
References to "Extraordinary General Meetings" have been removed and replaced
with "General Meetings" in line with the definitions contained within the 2006
Act.
The Articles reflect the 2006 Act requirement to hold the Annual General Meeting
within 6 months of the financial year end.
Rights of proxies have been amended in line with the 2006 Act so that duly
appointed proxies can attend and speak at a General Meeting, and if so called,
can vote on a resolution put to a show of hands.
