RELEASE OF THE QUARTERLY BASEL III PILLAR 3 REPORT AS AT 31 DECEMBER 2021, AS
PRESCRIBED BY THE BANKS ACT

African Bank is pleased to announce the release of the quarterly Basel III Pillar 3 report, as at
31 December 2021, (“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:

Announcements within the Investors section of the website.

The balance sheet of African Bank and the African Bank Holding company remains robust, with
advances appropriately provided for, significant capital adequacy and available cash holdings,
including surplus liquid assets of R4.2 billion in the group consolidated accounts. Liquidity risk,
interest rate risk and foreign exchange risks are managed within a conservative risk appetite
framework.

The overall impact of the solid balance sheet structure, as expressed in the conservative risk
appetite, is evidenced in the various sections of the Pillar 3 Report which, as of 31 December
2021, includes a CET1 ratio of 39.1%, a leverage ratio of 30.8%, a liquidity coverage ratio of 1062%
and a net stable funding ratio of 142% 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.
