The graph represents
Bidvest’s share price performance
relative to indices which have been
adjusted to give a more meaningful
comparison to that of its peer group.
A major constituent of the indices,
Richemont Securities AG, has been
excluded from the adjusted indices
as its business is offshore and in
completely different markets.
Market
capitalisation as
at June 30 2006 was R32,1 billion
R1
000 invested at the start of Bidvest,
capital and dividend distributions
re-invested, would have been worth
an estimated R314 000 in June 2006
