Management Appointments  
 
FirstRand today informed shareholders that the Group has made the following new appointments:  
 
- Johan Burger, currently FirstRand Group Financial Director and Group COO is appointed Group 
  Deputy CEO, effective 1 October 2013, but will retain the Group Financial Director role until  
  31 December 2013. 
- Effective 1 October 2013, Harry Kellan, currently CFO of FNB is appointed CFO of FirstRand Bank 
  and Jaco van Wyk is appointed Group Head of Finance. This follows Alan Hedding's retirement as 
  CFO of FirstRand Bank and Group Head of Finance (effective 30 September 2013). In addition to 
  his role as FirstRand Bank CFO, Harry Kellan will be appointed Group Financial Director from 1 
  January 2014. 
- Brian Riley retires as CEO of WesBank on 31 December 2013 and Chris de Kock, currently 
  General Manager: Sales and Marketing at WesBank, has been appointed WesBank CEO from 1 
  January 2014.   
 
Over the past two years Johan Burger's role and responsibilities have expanded significantly and 
therefore it is deemed necessary to appoint Harry Kellan as Group Financial Director to take over the 
following responsibilities: 
- financial and regulatory reporting; 
- performance management; 
- tax compliance and tax risk; and 
- management of the Corporate Centre functions. 
  
This will allow Johan Burger to spend more time on managing the broader financial resources of the 
Group (capital, funding and risk) and driving cross-franchise initiatives. The current responsibilities of 
the Group COO role will be integrated into the Deputy CEO role. 
 
Harry Kellan has been the CFO of FNB since March 2007. He will be appointed to the FirstRand 
Limited and FirstRand Bank boards as an executive director. The Group is in the process of 
appointing Harry Kellan's replacement at FNB.  
 
Jaco van Wyk has been with FirstRand for 11 years, most recently Head of Accounting and Reporting 
for the FirstRand Group. 
 
Chris de Kock joined WesBank in January 1987 and has successfully fulfilled a number of executive 
roles culminating in his current role. 
   
Harry Kellan, Chris de Kock and Jacques Celliers, who as previously announced replaces Michael 
Jordaan as FNB CEO on 1 January 2014, will join the Group strategic executive committee, effective 
1 October 2014.  
 
The Group is fortunate to have the necessary depth and quality of management to ensure a 
seamless handover of responsibilities.
