Ratio applicable to capitalisation share election AFRICAN BANK INVESTMENTS LIMITED (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) Registration number 1946/021193/06 Ordinary share code: ABL and ISIN: ZAE000030060 Preference share code: ABLP and ISIN: ZAE000065215 ("ABIL" or “the Company”) RATIO APPLICABLE TO CAPITALISATION SHARE ELECTION Shareholders are referred to the Company’s unaudited interim results for the six months ended 31 March 2013, published on SENS on 20 May 2013 and in the press on 21 May 2013 in which they were advised of the Company’s declaration of an interim gross cash dividend of 25 cents per ordinary share (“the Cash Dividend”) with the right to elect to receive fully paid ordinary shares with a par value of 2,5 cents in ABIL (“Capitalisation Shares”), in respect of all or part of their ordinary shareholding instead of the Cash Dividend (“Capitalisation Issue”). The number of Capitalisation Shares to which Shareholders will become entitled pursuant to the Capitalisation Issue (should they so elect) will be determined by the ratio that 25 cents bears to 1719.24460 cents, representing the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of an ordinary ABIL share traded on the JSE during the nine-day trading period ending on Thursday, 30 May 2013. The ratio of Capitalisation Shares that may be applied for in terms of the Capitalisation Issue is therefore 1.45413 Capitalisation Shares for every 1 000 ordinary shares held on the Record Date, being Friday, 14 June 2013 (“the Record Date”). If the application of this ratio gives rise to a fraction of an ordinary share, no fractional entitlement shall arise and the result of such calculation will be rounded up to the nearest whole number where the fraction is greater than or equal to 0.5 and rounded down to the nearest whole number where the fraction is less than 0.5 (the “Rounding Provision”). Example of Capitalisation Issue entitlement: This example assumes that a Shareholder holds 1 000 ordinary shares at the close of business on the Record Date and elects to receive the Capitalisation Shares for all of such ordinary shares. New ordinary share entitlement = 1 000 x 25.00 ZAR cents --------------------- 1719.2446 ZAR cents = 14.54127 new shares (then apply the Rounding Provision described above) = 15 Capitalisation Shares per 1 000 ordinary shares held.
