JSE
Noteholders are referred to a Stock Exchange News Service (SENS) notice by African Bank on 8
September 2017 (the Prior Notice), wherein the Bank extended an invitation to noteholders to offer
to sell any or all of their holdings in certain senior unsecured notes issued under the Bank’s Domestic
Medium Term Note (DMTN) programme listed on the Interest Rate Market of the Johannesburg
Stock Exchange (the Invitation). The Invitation closed for offers to sell at 17h00 yesterday, 14
September 2017. The Prior Notice stipulated that the results of the Invitation would be disclosed to
the market by way of a new SENS notice. Accordingly, the Bank hereby announces the results of the
Invitation.
The following nominal amounts were offered per series and the Bank hereby announces that these
offers have been accepted by the Bank.

Settlement of the accepted offers, as set out above, is scheduled for Tuesday, 19 September 2017.
The “outstanding nominal amount offered” excluded all ABKI01 notes already bought back on the
open market by the Bank, as noted in the Prior Notice. The nominal amount of ABKI01 notes bought
back prior to the Invitation amounted to R58.5 million, representing 9.75% of the original nominal
issued amount of R600 million. The “remaining outstanding nominal amount” represents all notes
held by Noteholders other than the Bank.
The Bank does not currently intend to cancel any portion of the bought back notes and, as a
consequence, there will be no corresponding reduction in the outstanding nominal amount issued of
the affected notes. The Bank however retains the right to cancel any such notes held by it and
accordingly undertakes to inform the market by way of a SENS notice as and when it elects to do so.
