RESULTS OF PLACING OF 4,644,952 NEW CAPITEC ORDINARY SHARES
Capitec announces that it has raised ZAR798.9 million by way of a placing, which
completed yesterday, of 4,644,952 new Ordinary Shares ("the Placing") of ZAR0.01
each ("the Placing Shares"). The Placing represents 4.91 per cent of the number
of the existing Ordinary Shares of the Company before the Placing and 4.68 per
cent of the number of the combined existing Ordinary Shares of the Company after
the Placing. The Placing was effected at ZAR172.00 per share (the "Placing
Price") which is a 7.60 per cent discount to the 30 business day volume weighted
average traded price of the Ordinary Shares of Capitec as of the close of
business on 1 November 2011. Merrill Lynch International ("BofA Merrill Lynch")
acted as sole lead manager and bookrunner in relation to the Placing.
The net proceeds of the Placing are proposed to be used by Capitec to facilitate
an increased footprint in South Africa, increase the client base, and grow the
loan book while managing capital requirements.
The Placing Shares will be issued credited as fully paid and will rank pari
passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares of the Company,
including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared in
respect of such shares after the date of issue of the Placing Shares. For the
avoidance of doubt, the Placing Shares will qualify for the interim ordinary
dividend of 125 cents per share declared on Tuesday, 27 September 2011 and
payable on Monday, 5 December 2011.
The Company will apply for admission of the Placing Shares to trading on the
Main Board of the JSE Limited ("JSE"). It is expected that the admission and
settlement of the Placing Shares will take place and that trading will commence
on or about Wednesday, 9 November 2011.
The Placing is conditional, inter alia, upon the JSE admission of the Placing
Shares on the JSE becoming effective and the placing agreement concluded between
the Company and BofA Merrill Lynch not being terminated prior to admission of
the Placing Shares.
Capitalised terms used, but not defined in this announcement have the same
meanings as set out in the announcement of the Company regarding the placing
released on Monday, 31 October 2011 ("the placing announcement").

Disclaimer
This announcement is for information purposes only and shall not constitute an
offer to buy, sell, issue, or subscribe for, or the solicitation of an offer to
buy, sell, issue, or subscribe for any securities, nor shall there be any sale
of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale
would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities
laws of any such jurisdiction. This announcement has been issued by and is the
sole responsibility of Capitec.
No representation or warranty, express or implied, is or will be made as to, or
in relation to, and no responsibility or liability is or will be accepted by
Merrill Lynch International or by any of its affiliates or agents as to, or in
relation to, the accuracy or completeness of this announcement or any other
written or oral information made available to or publicly available to any
interested party or its advisers, and any liability therefor is expressly
disclaimed.
This announcement is not for distribution, in whole or in part directly or
indirectly, in or into the United States, Australia, Canada, Japan or any other
state or jurisdiction into which the same would be unlawful. This announcement
is for information purposes only and does not contain or constitute an offer of,
or the solicitation of an offer to buy, Placing Shares in the United States,
Australia, Canada, Japan or any other state or jurisdiction in which such an
offer or solicitation is unlawful. Any failure to comply with these restrictions
may constitute a violation of securities laws of such jurisdictions.
The Placing Shares referred to in this announcement have not been, and will not
be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act")
or with any securities regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction
of the United States, and may not be offered, sold or transferred, directly or
indirectly, into or within the United States except pursuant to an exemption
from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements under
the Securities Act. There will be no public offer of Placing Shares in the
United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, Canada, Japan, South Africa or
elsewhere.
This announcement contains (or may contain) certain forward-looking statements
with respect to certain of Capitec`s current expectations and projections about
future events and which involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Capitec
cautions readers that no forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future
performance and that actual results could differ materially from those contained
in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can be
identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current
facts. Forward-looking statements sometimes use words such as "aim",
"anticipate", "target", "expect", "estimate", "intend", "plan", "goal",
"believe", or other words of similar meaning. By their nature, forward-looking
statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and
circumstances, including, but not limited to, economic and business conditions,
the effects of continued volatility in credit markets, market-related risks such
as changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates, the policies and
actions of governmental and regulatory authorities, changes in legislation, the
further development of standards and interpretations under International
Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") applicable to past, current and future
periods, evolving practices with regard to the interpretation and application of
standards under IFRS, the outcome of pending and future litigation or regulatory
investigations, acquisitions and other strategic transactions and the impact of
competition. A number of these factors are beyond Capitec`s control. As a
result, Capitec`s actual future results may differ materially from the
expectations and projections set forth in Capitec`s forward-looking statements.
Statements made in this announcement should not be taken as a representation
that such trends or activities will continue in the future. You should not place
undue reliance on forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date
they are made. Except as required by the JSE or applicable law, Capitec
expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any
updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained in this
announcement to reflect any changes in Capitec`s expectations with regard
thereto or any changes in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such
statement is based.
Merrill Lynch International, which is authorised and regulated in the United
Kingdom by the Financial Services Authority ("FSA"), is acting for Capitec and
for no-one else in connection with the Placing, and will not be responsible to
anyone other than Capitec for providing the protections afforded to customers of
Merrill Lynch International or for providing advice to any other person in
relation to the Placing or any other matter referred to herein.
Nothing in this Announcement should be viewed, or construed, as "advice" by
Merrill Lynch International as that term is used in the South African Securities
Services Act, 2004 and/or Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act,
2002.
The distribution of this announcement and the offering of the Placing Shares in
certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. No action has been taken by
Capitec or Merrill Lynch International that would permit an offering of such
shares or possession or distribution of this announcement or any other offering

for that purpose is required. Persons into whose possession this announcement
