NEDBANK GROUP EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP CHANGES

Nedbank Group is pleased to announce the following changes to its Group Executive Committee (Group Exco).

rest of Africa businesses.

In anticipation of Graham’s retirement and in line with the group’s succession plans, Mfundo Nkuhlu, currently
Managing Executive: Nedbank Corporate, will be appointed as COO from 1 January 2015. Subject to regulatory
approval, Mfundo will also be appointed as an executive director to the Nedbank Group and Nedbank Limited
Boards. From 1 January 2015 Graham will work alongside Mfundo and lead our strategically important activities
in the rest of Africa. Graham will remain an executive director until his retirement date. The succession process
for the role of Managing Executive: Nedbank Corporate will be completed prior to Mfundo taking up his new role
on 1 January 2015.

Philip Wessels, currently the Chief Risk Officer (CRO), has been appointed as Managing Executive: Retail and

Officer with effect from 1 August 2014, replacing Philip. The process of appointing a replacement for Trevor in
his role as Group Managing Executive: Balance Sheet Management will commence shortly.

Nedbank Group Chief Executive, Mike Brown, said: ‘Mfundo, Philip and Trevor are experienced bankers and
existing members of Group Exco, which will ensure continuity in strategy and leadership. We are fortunate to be
able to appoint candidates of their calibre from within Nedbank into these important positions. We have skilled,
experienced leaders at Nedbank and these changes strongly position us to achieve our growth strategies and
our vision to be Africa's most admired bank. I wish them all the best in their new roles.’
