RELEASE OF THE FULL YEAR BASEL III PILLAR 3 REPORT AS AT 30 SEPTEMBER 2020, AS PRESCRIBED
BY THE BANKS ACT

African Bank is pleased to announce the release of the full year Basel III Pillar 3 report, as at 30 September
2020, (“Pillar 3 Report”), as prescribed in terms of Regulation 43 of the Banks Act (Act No. 94 of 1990)
(the “Banks Act”).

The Pillar 3 Report covers African Bank and its holding company, African Bank Holdings Limited, a
registered bank controlling company registered under Section 44(1) of the Banks Act.

The full version of the Pillar 3 Report can be accessed on the Bank’s website via the following url:
https://www.africanbank.co.za/ under Regulatory Announcements – Basel Pillar III Announcements within
the Investors section of the website.

The overall balance sheet of the Bank remains strong, with advances well provided for and high capital
adequacy ratios. Cash and surplus liquid asset holdings amount to R4.6 billion. Liquidity risk, interest rate
risk and foreign exchange risk are managed within a conservative risk appetite framework.

The overall impact of the strong balance sheet structure, as expressed in the conservative risk appetite,
is evidenced in the various sections of the Pillar 3 Report which, as of 30 September 2020, includes a CET1
ratio of 31.2%, a leverage ratio of 26.0%, a liquidity coverage ratio of 624% and a net stable funding ratio
of 137% at the African Bank level. Consequently, African Bank and African Bank Holdings Limited operate
well above the minimum required regulatory levels in respect of all prudential ratios.
