A J LUNGU
BOARD CHAIRMAN

Notice is hereby given that ZCCM Investments Holdings Plc intends to change its financial year by changing the accounting reference date that would have fallen on 30 June 2010 to 31 March 2010.

This means that the current financial year that commenced on 1 July 2009 will end on 31 March 2010 and that 31 March becomes the new Accounting Reference Date there from.

The change has been necessitated by the need to align ZCCM­IH’s financial year end around that of the majority of its investee companies (subsidiaries and associates) and thereby reduce the delays caused by having to adjust for more than one quarter, data of annual reports obtained from investee companies.

By Order of the Board

C Chabala
Acting Company Secretary
