FINALISATION ANNOUNCEMENT RELATING TO THE ODD-LOT OFFER


Introduction

Nedbank Group shareholders (“Shareholders”) are referred to the circular (‘Circular’) containing details
of the Odd-lot Offer (‘Odd-lot Offer’) that was posted to Shareholders on Wednesday, 24 October 2018.
Shareholders are further referred to the general meeting of Shareholders (‘General Meeting’) that was
held on Thursday, 22 November 2018 and the subsequent announcement that was released on SENS
on the same day advising that the Odd-lot Offer was approved by Shareholders at the General Meeting.

Unless otherwise indicated, capitalised words and terms contained in this announcement shall bear the
same meanings ascribed thereto in the Circular.


Offer Price

The offer price per Nedbank Group Share in respect of the Odd-lot Offer is R276.47672 (‘Offer Price’)
and has been calculated on the 10-day volume weighted average price of a Nedbank Group ordinary
share on the JSE at the close of business on Monday, 3 December, 2018 being R263.31116 plus a 5%
premium.

If you wish to retain your Nedbank Group Shares you must specifically make an election to do
so. Those Odd-lot Holders who do not make an election will automatically be regarded as having
accepted the Odd-lot Offer and chosen to dispose of their Nedbank Group Shares to Nedbank
Group and receive the Cash Consideration.


Tax consequences

As set out in the Circular, the Nedbank Group board has resolved that the Odd-lot Offer will be
distributed as a return of capital (paid out of ‘contributed tax capital’ as defined in section 1 of the South
African Income Tax Act). The Cash Consideration will therefore not be regarded as a dividend for South
African income tax purposes.

The Odd-lot Offer may be subject to tax in the relevant jurisdiction of the Odd-lot Holder arising from
the disposal of the Odd-lot Holdings by the Odd-lot Holders who make an election to sell their Odd-lot
Holdings to Nedbank Group or who do not make an election. Annexure 1 to the Circular contains a
summary of the tax consequences for Odd-lot Holders who make an election to sell their Odd-lot
Holdings to Nedbank Group or who do not make an election. Shareholders should, however, seek their
own tax advice.
