BASEL III PILLAR 3 DISCLOSURE AS AT 30 SEPTEMBER 2015
The Basel III Pillar 3 disclosure is in accordance with the requirements of the Banks Act, No.
94 of 1990 (the “Banks Act”).
Quarterly disclosure is required on the capital adequacy and leverage ratio of the group and
the bank under Regulation 43(1)(e)(iii) relating to Banks and Directive 4/2014 issued in terms
of section 6 (6) of the Banks Act. Certain of the information required to be disclosed is
included in the group's trading update for the three month period to 30 September 2015 that
was released on 2 November 2015.
CAPITAL ADEQUACY AND LEVERAGE RATIO
Both the group and the bank remain well capitalised at levels significantly above the
minimum regulatory requirements. The common equity tier 1 ratio decreased since 30 June
as organic capital generation was offset by the payment of the interim dividends in
September 2015. The total capital ratios were impacted by the redemption of the old-style
NED11 subordinated-debt instruments during the period. The capital positions of the group
and the bank are set out in the following tables:

Tier 1 Capital (including unappropriated profit) (Rm) 56 556 43 990
Tier 1 Capital (excluding unappropriated profit) (Rm) 53 075 43 418

Leverage ratio (excluding unappropriated profit) (Rm) 5,75% 5,39%

LIQUIDITY COVERAGE RATIO (LCR)
In accordance with the provisions of section 6(6) of the Banks Act, quarterly disclosure of the
LCR is required, as set out in Directive 6/2014 and Directive 11/2014.
The LCR aims to ensure that a bank holds an adequate stock of unencumbered high quality
liquid assets (HQLA) to cover total Net Cash Outflows over a 30-day period under a
prescribed stress scenario. Based on the final revisions announced by the Basel Committee
in January 2013, the LCR is being phased-in starting at 60% on 1 January 2015 and
increasing by 10% each year to 100% on 1 January 2019.
The following table sets out Nedbank’s LCR at aggregated group and bank levels:
Nedbank Group¹ Nedbank Limited
High Quality Liquid Assets2 (Rm) 118 235 114 811
Net Cashflows2 143 662 135 979
Liquidity Coverage Ratio %2 82,3% 84,4%
Minimum requirement 60% 60%
Notes:
1. Only banking and/ or deposit-taking entities are included and the group data represents an
aggregation of the relevant individual net cash outflows and the individual HQLA portfolios, where
surplus HQLA holdings in excess of the minimum requirement of 60% have been excluded from
the aggregated HQLA number in the case of all non-SA banking entities.
2. The above figures reflect the simple average of the month-end values at 31 July 2015, 31 August
2015 and 30 September 2015, based on the regulatory submissions to the South African Reserve
Bank.
HIGH QUALITY LIQUID ASSETS (HQLA)
HQLA can be easily and immediately converted into cash at little or no loss of value. There
are two categories of assets included in the stock of HQLA. Level 1 assets that can be
included without limit at no haircut, comprising notes and coins, cash reserves, treasury bills,
government bonds and debentures. Level 2 assets which may not account for more than
40% of the total stock of HQLA in aggregate, comprising certain government securities,
public sector and corporate bonds. The South African Reserve Bank has undertaken to
provide Committed Liquidity Facilities of up to 40% of the HQLA requirement due to the
limited supply of level 2 assets in South Africa.
NET CASH OUTFLOWS
Net cash outflows are defined as the total expected cash outflows minus total expected cash
inflows during a 30 day stress period.
NEDBANK’S LCR PROGRAMME
Based on internal risk modelling, Nedbank targets an LCR operational level above the
minimum regulatory requirement to absorb normal seasonal volatility inherent in the domestic
financial system and consequently in the LCR.
During 2015 Nedbank will procure additional HQLAs to support balance sheet growth and
the LCR phase-in from a minimum regulatory requirement of 60% in 2015 to 70% in 2016,
while continuing to maintain appropriately sized surplus liquid-asset buffers to absorb
seasonal volatility in the LCR.
Stress testing and scenario analysis is conducted at both a bank and industry level with the
aim of appropriately sizing the liquidity buffer portfolio in the most optimal manner for
seasonal, cyclical and/or stress events. The stress testing and scenario analysis focuses on
estimating if-and-when the LCR liquidity buffer could be significantly consumed beyond
tolerable levels in order to pre-emptively facilitate the formulation of mitigating actions
designed to ensure that the size of the liquidity buffer always remains appropriate for forecast
liquidity requirements.
