Item 3.03   Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders

               On June 13, 2005, Net 1 UEPS Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) effected a one-for-six reverse stock split of its capital stock. Pursuant to Section 607.10025 of the Florida Statutes, the reverse stock split was not subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders.

               Pursuant to the reverse stock split, each holder of the Company’s common stock on the date of effectiveness of the reverse stock split received one share of common stock for every six shares of common stock held by such person, and each holder of the Company’s special convertible preferred stock on the date of effectiveness of the reverse stock split received one share of special convertible preferred stock for every six shares of special convertible preferred stock held by such person. No fractional shares of common stock or special convertible preferred stock were issued as a result of the reverse stock split. In lieu thereof, each holder of record of common stock and special convertible preferred stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share received one whole share of common stock or special convertible preferred stock.
