RESULTS OF THE GENERAL MEETING OF NEDBANK GROUP SHAREHOLDERS TO APPROVE
THE ODD-LOT OFFER
Background
Nedbank Group shareholders are referred to the Nedbank Group announcement published on SENS
on Monday, 15 October 2018 (‘Odd-lot Offer Announcement’) confirming the board of directors’
decision to proceed with the implementation of an odd-lot offer (‘Odd-lot Offer’) to repurchase Nedbank
Group ordinary shares from shareholders (‘Odd-lot Holders’) holding less than 100 Nedbank Group
ordinary shares (‘Odd-lot Holdings’) at a 5% premium to the 10-day volume weighted average price
of a Nedbank Group ordinary share at the close of business on Monday, 3 December 2018 (‘Offer
Price’).
The Odd-lot Offer will provide Odd-lot Holders with the ability to dispose of their Odd-lot Holdings on an
efficient basis and will provide liquidity for those Odd-lot Holders who elect to sell their Odd-lot Holdings
or who make no election. For Nedbank Group, it will, inter alia, reduce the complexity and ongoing
administrative costs associated with a significantly larger shareholder base.
Odd-lot Holders can elect to retain their Odd-lot Holdings or sell their Odd-lot Holdings at the
Offer Price. Those Odd-lot Holders who do not make an election by 12:00 (SA time) on Friday,
14 December 2018 will automatically be regarded as having accepted the Odd-lot Offer and
chosen to dispose of their Odd-lot Holdings.
