The terms and definitions used in this announcement are as set out in the Scheme Circular.


1.    Update on competition process

Committee of the Commission to make a recommendation to the South African Competition Tribunal (the "Tribunal"). Today
the Commission recommended the unconditional approval of the Combination to the Tribunal and accordingly the Tribunal
hearing is expected to take place on Wednesday, 27 January 2016. Shareholders are advised that the Namibian Competition
Authority has given its unconditional approval for the Combination.

Important legal notice

The release, publication or distribution of this announcement in jurisdictions other than the United Kingdom and South Africa
may be restricted by law and therefore any persons who are subject to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United
Kingdom or South Africa should inform themselves about, and observe, any applicable requirements. In particular, the ability of
persons who are not resident in the United Kingdom or South Africa to vote their Mediclinic Shares with respect to the
Mediclinic Scheme at the general meeting of Mediclinic, or to execute and deliver forms of proxy appointing another to vote at
that meeting on their behalf, may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions in which they are located. This
announcement has been prepared for the purpose of complying with law and regulation in the United Kingdom and South Africa
and the information disclosed may not be the same as that which would have been disclosed if this announcement had been
prepared in accordance with the laws of jurisdictions other than the United Kingdom and South Africa. Unless otherwise
determined by Al Noor and Mediclinic, or required and permitted by applicable law and regulation, the Combination will not be
made available, directly or indirectly, in, into or from any jurisdiction where local laws or regulations may result in a significant
risk of civil, regulatory or criminal exposure if information concerning the Combination is sent or made available to Mediclinic
shareholders in that jurisdiction (a "Restricted Jurisdiction") and no person may vote in favour of the Combination by any such
use, means, instrumentality or form within a Restricted Jurisdiction. Accordingly, copies of this announcement and any formal
documentation relating to the Combination are not being, and must not be, directly or indirectly, mailed or otherwise forwarded,
distributed or sent in, into or from any Restricted Jurisdiction and persons receiving such documents (including custodians,
nominees and trustees) must not mail or otherwise forward, distribute or send them in, into or from any Restricted Jurisdiction.

The availability of New Al Noor Shares under the Combination to Mediclinic shareholders who are not resident in the United
Kingdom or South Africa may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions in which they are resident. Persons who are
not resident in the United Kingdom or South Africa, or who hold Mediclinic shares as nominee, custodian or otherwise on behalf
of persons not resident in the United Kingdom or South Africa, should inform themselves of, and observe, any applicable legal
or regulatory requirements. Further details in relation to Mediclinic shareholders in overseas jurisdictions are set out in the
Scheme Circular.

Additional US information

These materials do not constitute or form a part of any offer or solicitation to purchase or subscribe for securities in the United
States. The New Al Noor Shares that may be received in the Combination have not been, and will not be, registered under the
United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or with any securities regulatory authority of any state
or other jurisdiction in the United States, and may only be offered or sold in reliance on the exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 802.

The business combination referred to in this announcement is to be made for the securities of Mediclinic, a South African
company, by means of the Combination. Information distributed in connection with the Combination is subject to disclosure
requirements of the United Kingdom and South Africa that are different from those of the United States. Financial information
disclosed in connection with the Combination that has been prepared in accordance with IFRS may not be comparable to the
financial statements and financial information of United States companies.

It may be difficult for you to enforce your rights and any claim you may have arising under US federal securities laws, since Al
Noor is located in the United Kingdom, and some of its officers and directors are residents of countries outside the United
States. You may not be able to sue a UK company or its officers or directors in an English court for violations of US securities
laws. It may be difficult to compel a UK company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a US court's judgement.

You should be aware that Al Noor may purchase securities otherwise than under the Combination, such as in open market or
privately negotiated purchases.

The New Al Noor Shares have not been and will not be listed on a US securities exchange or quoted on any interdealer
quotation system in the United States. Al Noor does not intend to take any action to facilitate a market in the New Al Noor
Shares in the United States. Consequently, it is unlikely that an active trading market in the United States will develop for the
New Al Noor Shares.

The New Al Noor Shares have not been approved or disapproved by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission,
any state securities commission in the United States or any other regulatory authority in the United States, nor have any of the
foregoing authorities passed comment upon, or endorsed the merit of, the Scheme or the accuracy or the adequacy of this
announcement or the Scheme Circular. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States.

Mediclinic shareholders who are affiliates of Al Noor after the Combination will be subject to timing, manner of sale and volume
restrictions on the sale of New Al Noor Shares received pursuant to the Combination under Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
For the purposes of the Securities Act, an "affiliate" of a company is any person that directly or indirectly controls, or is
controlled by, or is under common control with, the company. Holders of Mediclinic Shares that constitute "restricted securities"
for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act will receive New Al Noor Shares that also constitute restricted securities and
will not be permitted to offer or resell in the United States the New Al Noor Shares they receive without registering that offer or
sale under the Securities Act or conducting that offer or resale in reliance on an exemption from registration. The Securities Act
would not generally restrict sale of New Al Noor Shares on the London Stock Exchange, provided that the sale had not been
pre-arranged with a buyer in the United States. Shareholders who believe they may be affiliates for the purposes of the
Securities Act should consult their own legal advisers.
