DEALINGS IN SECURITIES BY DIRECTORS

Shareholders are referred to the announcement released on SENS on 31
December 2014 relating to the distribution of shares by the
FirstRand Black Non-Executive Directors Trust and Black Employee
Trust (the "trust distributions") to participants in the staff
component of FirstRand’s BEE transaction ("the transaction").
Certain FirstRand directors and executives had received shares
through the trust distributions however they were restricted from
any trades until two days after FirstRand announced its interim
results on 10 March 2015.

Following the expiry of the restriction on trades, certain directors
have disposed of a portion of their distributions, principally in
order to settle tax and other costs. Executive directors Mr Nxasana
and Mr Kellan will respectively add 463 475 and 458 370 ordinary
shares relating to this transaction to their portfolios of FirstRand
shares.

Accordingly, in compliance with paragraphs 3.63 – 3.74 of the JSE
Listings Requirements the following information is disclosed:
