CIRCULAR TO SHAREHOLDERS

A. CONSOLIDATION OF THE SHARE CAPITAL OF CCHZ

1. INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE OF THIS CIRCULAR

The purpose of this Circular is to provide information to CCHZ shareholders with all relevant information relating to the proposed

Consolidation of the share capital of CCHZ and to convene a general meeting of shareholders in order for shareholders to consider and, if

deemed fit, approve, the ordinary and special resolutions to effect the Consolidation in terms of the notice of EGM attached to and forming

part of this Circular.

It is proposed that, subject to the passing of the requisite special and ordinary resolutions (“the Resolutions”) at the EGM and the filing of the

Resolutions at PACRA, CCHZ will implement a Consolidation of the authorised and issued share capital of the Company on the basis of 1 new

CCHZ Consolidated Share for every 1,000 CCHZ ordinary shares of ZMK 1.00 par value each held as at the Record Date by the consolidation of

every 1,000 ordinary shares of par value of ZMK 1.00 each into 1 new CCHZ ordinary share with a par value of ZMK 1,000.00 each.

2. CONSOLIDATION OF CCHZ SHARE CAPITAL AND APPLICABLE TERMS AND CONDITIONS

The current par value of each CCHZ ordinary share is ZMK 1.00. The par value of each Consolidated Share will become ZMK 1,000.00 as a result

of the Consolidation on the basis of 1 for 1,000.

2.1 Conditions precedent

The implementation of the Consolidation is subject to the fulfilment of the condition precedent that the special resolutions relating to the

Consolidation of the share capital of CCHZ, contained in the notice of the EGM attached to and forming part of this Circular, are duly passed

and that the resolutions are registered with PACRA.

2.2 Rationale for the Consolidation

The Consolidation is being proposed primarily to prepare CCHZ for the proposed currency rebasing exercise in Zambia.

The Bank of Zambia will rebase the Zambian currency by a factor of 1,000 commencing 01 January 2013. Therefore, share prices reported on

the LuSE will be divided by a factor of 1,000 across the board. Accordingly, the Consolidation is also intended to adjust the share price of CCHZ

ahead of the currency rebasing (but with no change in market value), and give a realistic resultant working figure when currency rebasing is

effected, commencing 01 January 2013.

2.3 Details and implications of the Consolidation

Subject to approval and implementation, the Consolidation of the share capital of CCHZ will have the following impact:

Page 10 of 20Page 10 of 20

2.3.1 A decrease in the number of authorised shares from 100,000,000,000 shares of K 1.00 par value each to 100,000,000 shares of ZMK

1,000.00 par value each;

2.3.2 Assuming all Claw-back Rights Offer Shares are subscribed for, a decrease in the number of issued and fully paid up shares from

69,285,714,286 shares of K 1.00 par value each to 69,285,714 shares of ZMK 1,000.00 par value each;

2.3.3 The proposed Consolidation will not dilute a shareholder’s economic interest in the Company as the value of the bank will not

change. The Consolidation will be a book entry capital reorganisation that increases the nominal value per share by a multiple of

1,000 whilst simultaneously decreasing the number of authorised and issued shares by the same multiple;

2.3.4 In accordance with the Articles of Association of CCHZ and the Listing Requirements of the LuSE, fractional shares will not be

issued and paid out to shareholders. All fractions of Consolidated Shares (“Fractional Entitlements”) will be rounded up to the

nearest whole number of Consolidated Shares.

2.3.5 The Consolidation of shares will be effective on Monday, 17 December 2012 (“Consolidation Date”)

2.3.6 The price per share will be increased by factor of 1,000 immediately after the Consolidation. Therefore the price per share of CCHZ on the LuSE will be adjusted upwards by multiplying the Closing Price on the last day to trade by 1,000.

2.4 Share capital before and after the Consolidation

Before the Consolidation After the Consolidation

Authorised share capital (Kwacha) 100,000,000,000 shares of K 1.00 each 100,000,000 shares of K 1,000.00 each

Issued share capital (Kwacha) 69,285,714,286 shares of K 1.00 each 69,285,714 shares of K 1,000.00 each

2.5 Listing of the Consolidated Shares on the LuSE

The LuSE has agreed to amend the listing of CCHZ’s share capital to take account of the Consolidation of 1,000 existing CCHZ ordinary shares of

ZMK 1.00 par value each into 1 new CCHZ Consolidated Share of ZMK 1,000.00 par value, with effect from Tuesday, 18 December 2012.

2.6 Last date to trade and Record Date

The Record Date, for purposes of the Consolidation is Friday, 14 December 2012. The last date to trade in CCHZ shares on the LuSE in order to

be recorded as a shareholder by the Record Date is Tuesday, 11 December 2012.

2.7 Procedure to be followed by certificated shareholders for the Consolidation

2.7.1 Subject to the passing and the registration of the special resolutions necessary for the Consolidation of the share capital of CCHZ, it is

necessary to recall the share certificates from certificated shareholders in order to replace them with certificates reflecting the

Consolidation.

2.7.2 To facilitate the timeous receipt by certificated shareholders of replacement share certificates, certificated shareholders who wish to

anticipate the implementation of the Consolidation and who do not wish to deal in their existing shares prior to the Consolidation

are requested to surrender their share certificates, under cover of the Form of Surrender, to the Transfer Secretary, at the address

set out in the Form of Surrender, prior to the Record Date.

2.7.3 Share certificates so received will be held in trust by the Transfer Secretary pending the Consolidation becoming unconditional. In

the event that the Consolidation does not become unconditional, the Transfer Secretary will, within five business days thereafter,

return the share certificates to the certificated shareholders concerned, by registered mail, at the risk of such shareholders.

2.7.4 The results of the EGM will be announced on the LuSE Stock Exchange News Service (“SENS”) on Friday, 07 December 2012 and

published in the Zambian press on Monday, 10 December 2012. Should the Consolidation be approved and implemented,

shareholders who have not already surrendered their share certificates will be required to do so under cover of the attached Form of

Surrender, which should be retained for that purpose as no further Forms of Surrender will be circulated to shareholders. Share

Certificates not surrendered will be cancelled and a new one issued.

2.7.5 Further instructions on the procedure to be followed by certificated shareholders are contained in the Form of Surrender.

2.7.6 Additional copies of the Form of Surrender may be requested from the Transfer Secretary.

2.8 Procedure to be followed by dematerialized shareholders for the Consolidation

Dematerialised shareholders must not do anything as their LuSE CSD accounts will be automatically updated.

3. EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

3.1 An Extraordinary General Meeting (“EGM”) will be held at 14h30 on Friday, 07 December 2012, at Radisson Blu Hotel, Lusaka, to consider,

and if deemed fit, approve the special and ordinary resolutions in respect of the consolidation of the share capital of CCHZ.

NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

Notice is hereby given that an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) of the shareholders of CCHZ Plc will be held at Radisson Blu Hotel, Lusaka

on Friday, 07 December 2012 at 14h30, to consider, and if deemed fit, pass the proposed resolutions below.

AGENDA

1. To read the Notice of the Meeting.

2. Ratify the Addendum dated 31 October 2012, for increase of authorised share capital to give effect to the resolution of members

of CCHZ passed at the 13th AGM held on 05 July 2012.

3. To consider the proposed Consolidation of the share capital of CCHZ Plc, and if deemed appropriate, pass the following

resolutions to give effect to the Consolidation of the share capital:

The Consolidation of share capital

The Board proposes the Consolidation of the authorised and issued share capital of CCHZ Plc on the basis of 1 new CCHZ Plc ordinary share for

every 1,000 existing CCHZ Plc ordinary shares. The Consolidation is being proposed primarily to prepare CCHZ for the proposed currency

rebasing exercise in Zambia. The Bank of Zambia will rebase the Zambian currency by a factor of 1,000 commencing 01 January 2013.

Therefore, share prices reported on the LuSE will be divided by a factor of 1,000 across the board. Accordingly, the Consolidation is also

intended to adjust the share price of CCHZ ahead of the currency rebasing (but with no change in market value), and give a realistic resultant

working figure when currency rebasing is effected, commencing 01 January 2013.

The current par value of each CCHZ ordinary share is ZMK 1.00. The par value of each Consolidated Share will become ZMK 1,000.00 as a result

of the Consolidation.

In compliance with the LuSE Listing Rules a circular giving details of the proposed Consolidation of share capital has been posted to all

shareholders on the Register as at Friday, 09 November 2012.

At the EGM to be held on Friday, 07 December 2012, shareholders will consider the proposed Consolidation of share capital, and if

deemed appropriate, pass the proposed special and ordinary resolutions below:

3.1 TO RESOLVE AS A SPECIAL RESOLUTION that the authorised ordinary shares of CCHZ, comprising 100,000,000,000 ordinary shares of

ZMK 1.00 par value each, be consolidated and reduced on a 1-for-1,000 into 100,000,000 authorised ordinary shares of ZMK

1,000.00 par value each; and

3.2 TO RESOLVE AS A SPECIAL RESOLUTION that the issued and fully paid up ordinary shares of CCHZ, comprising all issued and fully

paid up ordinary shares of ZMK 1.00 par value each as at the Consolidation Date, be consolidated and reduced on a 1-for-1,000 basis

into issued and fully paid up ordinary shares of ZMK 1,000.00 par value each; and

Page 15 of 20Page 15 of 20

3.3 TO RESOLVE AS ORDINARY RESOLUTION that, subject to passing the special resolution number 3.1, any Director of CCHZ be, and

hereby is authorised, on behalf of the Company, to do or cause to be done, all such things, and to sign all such documentation as

may be necessary or requisite so as to give effect to and implement the resolutions relating to the Consolidation of share capital.

In terms of the Listings Requirements, 75% (seventy-five per cent) of the votes cast by shareholders present or represented by proxy at the

EGM must be cast in favour of this ordinary resolution for it to be approved.

By Order of the Board

ADDENDUM TO AGM RESOLUTION

INCREASE OF AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL TO GIVE EFFECT TO THE RESOLUTIONS OF MEMBERS OF CAVMONT CAPITAL

HOLDINGS ZAMBIA PLC PASSED AT ITS 13TH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING HELD ON 5 JULY 2012

WHEREAS

A. Members of Cavmont Capital Holdings Zambia PLC (the ‘Company’), at the 13th Annual General Meeting of the Company held on 5th

July 2012, passed a resolution (the ‘Resolution’) to raise ZMK 90 billion (the ‘Capital Sum’) for purposes only of enabling Cavmont

Bank (the ‘Bank’), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company to comply with the new capital adequacy requirements issued by the

Bank of Zambia on 30th January 2012;

B. For purposes of raising the Capital Sum, members of the Company increased authorised share capital and authorised its directors to

issue through the Lusaka Stock Exchange (the ‘LuSE’) new shares to all members, on a Claw-back Rights issue basis, and that such

shares be issued at such price per share as would comply with the rules of the LuSE at the time of issue;

C. Subsequent to the Resolution, the directors of the Company have found that the price per share at the time of issue of new shares

can only be ZMK 1.40, yielding only a sum of ZMK 70 billion which falls short of the Capital Sum required to be raised in terms of the

Resolution passed by the members;

D. The intention of the members and the rationale under the Resolution is to raise the Capital Sum without less by creation of new

ordinary shares and issue such shares to the members on a Claw-back Rights issue basis;

AND FOR PURPOSES of giving effect to the intention of members all of whom were at the time of the Resolution entitled to vote and voted for

the Resolution aforesaid;

AND BEARING in mind the timeframe within which such new shares should be issued to comply with the capital requirements aforesaid;

WE DO HEREBY issue the ADDENDUM hereof to the Resolution;

1. by deletion of the number 57,255,000,000 authorised ordinary shares in clause 1 of the Special Resolution and substitution

therefore with the number 100,000,000,000 to give effect to the intention aforesaid

2. by undertaking to place before the next general meeting of the Company this ADDENDUM for ratification by members of the

Company, in the same way that the members ratified the issue of preference shares as stated in the Resolution.
