BILB-Announcement to All Financial Creditor Funders

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


IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT TO ALL FINANCIAL CREDITOR FUNDERS OF LAND BANK, INCLUDING
HOLDERS OF NOTES LISTED UNDER THE 2010 DMTN AND THE 2017 DMTN: SECOND PART CAPITAL
REDUCTION REPAYMENT


In the SENS announcement dated 14 January 2021, Land Bank provided the market with an update in respect of
the Liability Solution and has continued to engage with its lenders, including the holders of listed debt securities
issued under its JSE-listed ZAR20 billion DMTN Programme dated 18 October 2010 (“2010 DMTN”) and its
ZAR30 billion DMTN Programme dated 13 March 2017 (“2017 DMTN”) to progress towards a Liability Solution.
Land Bank has, since August 2020, repaid approximately 12% of the capital amount that was owing to its financial
creditor funders at the time of default (together with all associated interest).


Land Bank now wishes to facilitate a further payment equivalent to approximately 10% (ten percent) of the
outstanding capital amount owing to each financial creditor funder (lenders and holders of its debt instruments)
pursuant to each such party’s debt documents (the “Second Part Capital Reduction Repayment”) on the basis
set in this announcement. Land Bank plans to implement this payment in a manner that is, as far as is reasonably
possible, consistent with the INSOL principles.

Interest will be paid on the next contractual interest payment date. Lenders who will be receiving contractual
capital amortization payments from Land Bank in August or September 2021 will not be entitled to the Second
Part Capital Reduction Payment in addition to such contractual capital amortization payments.
