BILB-Increase in Capital Repayment to Certain Creditors

The Land and Agricultural Development Bank of South Africa
(JSE Code: BILB)
(“Land Bank” or the “Issuer”)


Increase in Capital Repayment to certain financial creditors


In a SENS dated 11 January 2021, Land Bank announced that it has certain semi-annual capital amortisation
loan repayments that it is obliged to pay to its international funders during February and March 2021, and to
ensure equitable treatment of financial creditors and align the South African lenders, had decided to make a
payment of 10% of the nominal capital outstanding to financial creditors (including holders of the LBK22 and
LBK36 Notes (both of which have already matured)), who are not receiving such an amortisation loan
repayment.


Land Bank is pleased to announce that it will be increasing the capital repayment and will now be making an
aggregate repayment of 12% of the aggregate Nominal Amount on each of the LBK22 and LBK36 Notes and
to all financial creditors who are not receiving the abovementioned amortisation loan repayment. A SENS in
this regard relating to listed, unmatured notes was published on 15 January 2021.


All the other terms and dates relating to the capital repayment remain as were set out in the SENS of
11 January 2021.


Only the 12 % of the aggregate Nominal Amount will be paid on the settlement date (see Important Information
below). Land Bank will continue to pay accrued interest to financial creditors on the basis that it has done since
interest payments commenced on 11 August 2020.


Important Information


1.      Each Noteholder of the LBK22 and LBK36 Notes will receive an amount equal to 12% of the aggregate
        Nominal Amount (face value) of its capital holding in each of the Notes.


2.      A further SENS announcement will be sent out to communicate the exact settlement date but currently
        the expected date is 11 February 2021. The Noteholders are not required to take any action as the
        settlement will be done directly from Land Bank to the Noteholders via Strate / the CSD or CSDP’s.


3.      Once each Noteholder receives their relevant repayment, the holdings of each Noteholder will be
        reduced accordingly and the Register will be updated to reflect the reduction.
