(Registration number 1/37)
("Meikles" or "the Company")
__________________________________________________________
Notice convening an Extraordinary General Meeting of members of
Meikles Limited ("Meikles")
__________________________________________________________
Notice is hereby given that Meikles Limited ("the Company") hereby convenes an
Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM") of members of the Company at 09.00 hours
on Wednesday, 13 October 2010, in the Mirabelle Room, Meikles Hotel, Corner of
Third Street and Jason Moyo Avenue, Harare, for the purpose of considering and,
if thought fit, passing with or without modification, the resolutions set out
below.
1. REASONS FOR CONVENING THE EGM
At the extraordinary general meeting of the Company held on 22 June 2009 ("the
June 2009 EGM") shareholders passed certain resolutions authorising the
Directors of the Company to de-merge Kingdom Financial Holdings Limited ("KFHL")
from the Company. To date the de-merger has not been implemented both due to the
issues the Company faced at the end of 2009 and early 2010 and due to the
non-fulfilment of all of the de-merger's conditions precedent. These issues are
largely resolved and the Board of Directors of the Company ("the Board") now
proposes that the de-merger takes place. In order to give effect to the
administrative requirements of the de-merger, it is necessary to rescind certain
resolutions passed at the June 2009 EGM and to pass the additional resolutions
contained in this notice.
2. OFFER TO PURCHASE KFHL
Shareholders are advised that in the event that an offer acceptable to
the Board, for the purchase of the Company's shares in KFHL, is received prior
to the date of the EGM, an amended EGM notice incorporating a resolution so that
shareholders can vote on the offer, together with details of such offer, a
recommendation from the Board, and a new form of proxy will be sent to
shareholders. In the event that there is insufficient time between the EGM date
and the date the amended EGM notice is sent, the Chairman will propose the
meeting be adjourned to enable shareholders to consider the amended EGM notice
and in particular such offer.
3. THE BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE KFHL DE-MERGER
The Board recommends the de-merger in accordance with the resolutions contained
in this notice.
4. THE RESOLUTIONS
The Board then proposes to shareholders that the following resolutions be
passed, with or without amendments, by shareholders to enable the de-merger of
KFHL from the company to be implemented:
1. ORDINARY RESOLUTION NUMBER 1
"RESOLVED THAT, Messrs Deloitte & Touche, Chartered Accountants
(Zimbabwe), or failing them for any reason, any other firm of Chartered
Accountants nominated by the Chairman of the meeting, are appointed to count the

determined by them will be final and binding in the absence of any manifest
error."
2. ORDINARY RESOLUTION NUMBER 2
"RESOLVED THAT the following three resolutions passed by shareholders at the
Company's Extraordinary General Meeting held on Monday 22 June 2009 be and are
