Noteholders are hereby advised that the company’s Audited Annual Financial Statements for the

In terms of section 7.6 (c) of the Debt Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, investors are
advised that the issuer has reclassified the previous years’ financial statements.
Nqaba did not correctly disclose the split between the current and non-current portions of its first
loss credit enhancement loan, due to an incorrect interpretation of what constitutes the current
portion of this loan. The current portion was incorrectly interpreted as being a callable instrument
at any given time by a noteholder. This interpretation has been corrected to only reflect the
interest element as the current portion.
Accordingly, the disclosure of the current and non-current portion of Nqaba’s first loss credit
enhancement loan was corrected in the 2019 annual financial statements in terms of IAS 8 as a
prior period error by disclosing the split between the current and non-current portion based on the
payable within twelve months from the balance sheet date, i.e. interest accrued
