Context: Store Closures 2011/12 • Strategy embarked upon in 2010/11 re 1&2 Man Stores • Continuation of 2010/11 strategy into 2011/12 • Difference 2011/12 vs 2010/11 re opportunities created by the VERP/VSP process • Closures intended to occur at lease expire date, but due to VERP/VSP impact moved earlier • VERP/VSP also impacted other stores where rebalancing opportunities are currently being investigated • Consultation to take place once detailed analysis had been completed

  4. Strategy – 1&2 Man Stores • The decision to not continue with leases of 1&2 Man Stores in 2011/12 comprise of a combination of factors: • Existing customer base in area • Future growth opportunities in area • Not commercially viable as a business entity from a access network point of view • Alternative channels are available to customers in area

  5. Impact on Telkom Direct 1&2 Man Store Strategy • Ten (10) 1&2 Man Stores earmarked for closure in 2011/12 • Four (4) of these stores were impacted by VERP/VSP applications • This to result in earlier closure than lease expiry dates • Early closure of remaining 6 stores to enable rebalancing of resources to fill gaps left by VERP/VSP departures • Total of 18 staff impacted by closures of which 5 already left as per their VERP/VSP applications. • Remaining 13 staff to be redeployed

Transitional Principles • Total of 13 employees impacted • All impacted employees to be accommodated • Proposed transfers will be to the nearest store where staffing opportunities exist due to business need: • Transfer/relocate to identified regional critical vacancies or regional opportunities. • Transfer/relocate to identified national critical vacancies or national opportunities

Process to Follow • Establish Regional Task Teams consisting of TDS Line Management, HR, ER and Organised Labour to oversee staff rebalancing • Impacted staff briefed by Regional Task Team • Theseemployeestoexercised their options and communicate their decisions • Complete implementation prior to 30 July 2011
