Telkom’s shareholders approved the Telkom Employee Share Plan at the September 2013 Annual General Meeting. The scheme covers both operational and management employees and is aimed at giving shares to Telkom employees, at a Rnil exercise price, at the end of the vesting period. Although the number of shares awarded to employees was communicated at the grant date, the ultimate number of shares that vest may differ based on certain performance conditions being met. Refer to note 31.

                         
The fund has been created but the related compensation expense will be recognised over the vesting period of shares granted.

                         
The movement within the share-based compensation reserve is:                          
Balance at beginning of year       11   –       11   –  
Net increase in equity       115   11       115   11  
   Employee cost       115   11       115   11  
Balance at end of year       126   11       126   11
