'Financial assistance to Executive Director

During the period under review, the shareholders at an Annual General Meeting approved a share scheme which inter alia provides for financial assistance to top management to purchase Telkom shares. A loan in the amount of approximately R6 million was paid to the CFO to purchase Telkom's shares during the current financial year. However, the granting of the loan was inconsistent with the provisions of the Companies Act, making the transaction null and void. The Board acknowledged that it could not ratify the granting of the loan and was obligated to claim the approximately R6 million back from the CFO. The loan was paid back in full by the CFO to Telkom on 16 January 2014.
