PROPOSED CHANGE OF NAME


Shareholders are referred to the announcement released on SENS on 8 August 2016 wherein they

The resolutions set out in the Notice include, inter alia, the proposed change of name of the Company

Memorandum of Incorporation.

The proposed change of name is as a result of the cancellation of the registration of ABIL as a controlling
company in the Republic of South Africa subsequent to the cancellation of the registration of a bank in
terms of section 27 of the Banks Act, 1990 (Act 94 of 1990) of ABIL’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Residual
Debt Services Limited (formerly African Bank Limited), by the office of the Registrar of Banks.
Accordingly, the Company is required to remove the word “bank” or any derivative thereof from its
business name or description pursuant to the cancellation of its registration as a controlling company.

The salient dates and times for the Annual General Meeting and the proposed change of name are set
out below.
