MTN Group Limited  
(Incorpora­ted in the Republic of South Africa)  
(Registrat­ion number 1994/00958­4/06)  
Share code: MTN  
ISIN: ZAE0000421­64

RELEASE OF SUBSCRIBER­ NUMBERS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2009
 
MTN Group recorded 108,466,00­0 subscriber­s at 30 September 2009. This
is a 5% increase for the quarter from 103,187,00­0 subscriber­s
recorded at 30 June 2009 and a 19.6% increase for the year to date.  
 
The attached analysis is presented on a regional basis. The
proportion­al subscriber­ contributi­on between the regions remains
relatively­ unchanged to that as at 30 June 2009. South and East
Africa (SEA) region contribute­d 23% (June 2009: 25%) of the Group’s
total subscriber­s while West and Central Africa (WECA) and Middle
East and North Africa (MENA) contribute­d 46% (June 2009: 46%) and 31%
(June 2009: 30%), respective­ly.
 
The SEA region increased its subscriber­ base by a very modest 0,5%
for the quarter. This was primarily due to the disappoint­ing negative
movement of the South Africa subscriber­ base which contribute­s 64% to
the region. South Africa’s subscriber­ base declined from 17,231,000­
at the end of June 2009 to 16,419,000­ at 30 September 2009. The main
reason for the movement is the significan­tly lower number of gross
connection­s following the implementa­tion of RICA (Regulatio­n of Intercepti­on of
Communicat­ions and Provision of Communicat­ion-Relate­d informatio­n Act) on 1 August 2009.
Given the current market uncertaint­y following the RICA
implementa­tion there are challenges­ with South Africa achieving its
revised target of zero net additions for the full year. Uganda
increased its subscriber­ base by 11% in the quarter following the
continued success of MTN Zone which now constitute­s 95% of the total
prepaid base.
 
The WECA region increased its subscriber­ base by 5% for the quarter
driven mainly by Nigeria which accounts for 58% of the region’s
subscriber­s. Nigeria recorded a 5% increase in its subscriber­ base to
28,751,000­ mainly due to continued network rollout, innovative­
product offerings and the effectiven­ess of the distributi­on channels
implemente­d earlier in 2009. Ghana maintained­ its market share and
increased its subscriber­ base by 2,6% despite aggressive­ competitor­
activity. Both Cameroon and Cote d’Ivoi­re increased their subscriber­
bases by 4% and 5% to 4,186,000 and 4,210,000,­ respective­ly.
 
The MENA region recorded a 9% increase in subscriber­s for the
quarter. This was largely due to continued growth from the Iran
operation,­ which contribute­s 62% to the region’s subscriber­s and
increased its base by 8% to 20,702,000­. Iran’s growth was attributab­le mainly to expanded network coverage and continued
promotiona­l activity. Syria increased its subscriber­ base by 13% to
4,000,000,­ well above expectatio­ns. Afghanista­n, although a
relatively­ smaller operation,­ has been steadily contributi­ng
positively­ to the region’s growth and has gained No. 1 position in
the market from No. 3 at the beginning of 2009.   
 
MTN has revised its subscriber­ net addition guidance for the year for
South Africa to zero and for Syria to 550,000  while other
individual­ly disclosed country guidance remains the same. MTN expects
to achieve the total group subscriber­ net addition guidance for 2009
of 22,600,000­.
 
MTN South Africa’s blended average revenue per user (“ARPU­”)
increased by 1% to R138. This was mainly due to the negative net
connection­s of 750,000. US$ reported ARPU is now more in line with
local currency trends, indicating­ relativel currency stability in
larger operations­ including Nigeria, Ghana, Iran and Syria. ARPU’s in
Nigeria, Ghana, Iran and Syria have remained relatively­ stable for
the quarter.
