Stakeholders are referred to the statement regarding the Curatorship of African Bank ("the
Curatorship") made by the then Governor of the South African Reserve Bank ("SARB"), Ms. Gill
Marcus, on 10 August 2014 ("the SARB statement") and to the SENS announcements released by
African Bank Investments Limited ("ABIL") and African Bank on 26 September 2014, 10 December
2014, 3 and 31 March 2015, and by African Bank on 28 and 29 May 2015, 11 June 2015 and 15 July

The SARB statement confirmed that Mr. Tom Winterboer was appointed as Curator of African Bank
("the Curator") in terms of the Banks Act No. 94 of 1990 (as amended) on 10 August 2014. At the
