LISTING OF DOLLAR CERTIFICATES

The JSE Limited has granted FirstRand Bank Limited approval for the listing of 10 000 Dollar Custodial
Certificates (“DCC’s”) which will be listed on the main board on the “Exchange Traded Funds” sector of the
JSE under the alpha code “DCCUSD” and ISIN Code ZAE000234977 with effect from the commencement of
business on 24 January 2017 and traded through any authorised user of the JSE.

The DCC’s represent the first inward listing of US Treasury notes on the JSE. This product will allow investors
to invest their excess cash in US dollars, earn an income stream in US dollars, all settled in ZAR. The
investment capital credit exposure is directly to the US Federal Reserve – enabling investors to avoid the
credit risk associated with a normal foreign currency bank account.

Businesses and individuals may invest without limit, enabling excess cash to be dollarized. The DCCs are liquid
and freely traded, making them an ideal working capital solution. Investment performance is directly related
to the USD/ZAR exchange rate and the price performance of US Treasury notes.

The offer of DCCs constitutes an “offer to the public” as defined in the Companies Act, 2008 (“the Act”). The
Offering Circular dated 24 January 2017 does not, nor is it intended to, constitute a “registered prospectus”
(as defined in the Act).
