This was offset by the translation impact of the group’s remaining foreign net asset value as a result of the weakening of the Rand against the USD (R13.29/USD at 30 September 2015 from R11.57/USD at 31 December 2014) since December 2014. 2 Included in earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders is approximately R2.8 billion of earnings which is excluded from headline earnings. The majority of this relates to the disposal of a 60% controlling interest in Standard Bank Plc (SB Plc) and primarily comprises the release of the group’s FCTR relating to SB Plc’s net asset value less the recognition of the remaining unrecognised loss on the disposal. 3 Primarily comprises the ordinary dividends declared in March and August 2015. The information contained in this announcement has not been reviewed by or reported on by the group's auditors.
