Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting


Investec Limited - proposed creation of a new class of Investec Limited
preference shares


The Board of Directors of Investec Limited has proposed that Investec Limited
will create a new class of  non-redeemable, non-cumulative, non-participating
preference shares in the capital of Investec Limited.


The directors also propose that the Memorandum and Articles of Association of
Investec Limited be amended to reflect  the new authorised share capital of
Investec Limited and to make consequential technical amendments to the Articles
of  Association of Investec plc.


As a result of the Dual Listed Companies Structure, implemented in July 2002,
this 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 Extraordinary General Meeting
of Investec plc to be held on  Thursday, 2 December 2004 at 9:30 (UK time) at 2
Gresham Street, London, EC2V 7QP as well as at the parallel General  Meeting of
Investec Limited to be held at the same time.


Copies of a circular to shareholders, incorporating the notice of the
Extraordinary General Meeting, as well as the  amended Articles of Association
of Investec plc, will shortly be available for inspection at the UK Listing
Authority's  document viewing facility situated at the Financial Services
Authority, 25 The North Colonnade, Canary Wharf, London  E14 5HS, telephone 020
7066 1000.
