  PROPOSED CREATION OF A NEW CLASS OF INVESTEC PLC PERPETUAL PREFERENCE SHARES
                                (the 'Proposal')


The Directors of Investec propose that Investec plc creates a new class of
non-redeemable, non-cumulative, non-participating preference shares of £0.01
each (the 'perpetual preference shares') in the authorised share capital of
Investec plc. The Directors also propose that Investec plc adopts new articles
of association to reflect the increase in its authorised share capital, to
record the rights and privileges attaching to the perpetual preference shares
and to effect other consequential technical amendments.


As a result of the Dual Listed Companies structure implemented in July 2002, the
Proposal is conditional, amongst other things, on the approval of Members of
both Investec Limited and Investec plc voting together as a single
decision-making body. This approval will be sought at the General Meeting of
Investec Limited to be held at 11:00 (SA time) on Wednesday, 28 June 2006 at the
registered offices of Investec Limited at 100 Grayston Drive, Sandown, Sandton
as well as at the parallel Extraordinary General Meeting of Investec plc to be
held at the same time, 10:00 (UK time) on Wednesday, 28 June 2006 at the
registered offices of Investec plc at 2 Gresham Street, London, EC2V 7QP, United
Kingdom.


A circular to Investec Members setting out the details of the Proposal and
incorporating the Notice of the General Meeting of Investec Limited and the
Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting of Investec plc has been issued and
posted to Investec Members today.

These documents will shortly be available for inspection at the UK Listing 
Authority's Document Viewing Facility, which is situated at:
