African Bank's acquisition of Sasfin Bank's Capital Equipment Finance and Commercial
Property Finance businesses receives regulatory approval

Shareholders and Noteholders are referred to the announcements released on SENS on 13
October 2023 and 23 February 2024 wherein we advised that African Bank had entered into
agreements with Sasfin Bank Limited ("SBL") and Sasfin Private Equity Investment Holdings
Proprietary Limited ("SPEIH"), for the acquisition of its Capital Equipment Finance Business
("CEF Business") and Commercial Property Finance Business ("CPF Business") as going
concerns in one indivisible transaction (the "Acquisition").

African Bank is pleased to announce that the required regulatory approvals, including from
the Minister of Finance, have been received on 1 August 2024. The Acquisition value of the
transaction is circa R3.25 billion, based on the assets at 30 June 2024. The Bank will
officially unite the two operations under one African Bank banner, with a growing suite of
products and solutions to match a Business and Commercial proposition that has already
generated considerable interest.
