CPI - Capitec Bank Holdings Limited - Voluntary announcement: change in outlook for Capitec Bank CAPITEC BANK HOLDINGS LIMITED Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa Registration number: 1999/025903/06 Share Code: CPI ISIN Number: ZAE000035861 ("the Company") VOLUNTARY ANNOUNCEMENT: CHANGE IN OUTLOOK FOR CAPITEC BANK The board of the Company is pleased to advise Shareholders that Moody`s Investors Service ("Moody`s") changed the outlook for the A2.za long-term national scale issuer rating assigned to Capitec Bank Limited ("Capitec"), the wholly owned banking subsidiary of the Company, from stable to positive on 28 April 2011. The previous rating action on Capitec`s national-scale ratings was implemented on 14 May 2008, when the short-term national-scale rating was upgraded to P-1.za from P-2.za. This rating remains unchanged. Moody`s note in their press release that the change in the outlook from stable to positive reflects Capitec`s ongoing success in growing its franchise, diversifying its business base and maintaining good financial fundamentals, while successfully navigating through the financial crisis and macroeconomic slowdown. Capitec had increased its client base to 2.8 million in February 2011 from 1.0 million in February 2007 and over the same period has successfully converted from essentially a micro-finance institution to a retail bank offering affordable banking.
