*Note: The value and number of shares will vest to the extent that the full, stretched performance targets have been met or
exceeded. A lower number of shares (resulting in a lower Rand value on vesting) will vest in the event that on-target
performance is achieved. Vesting will only occur if a minimum threshold level of performance is achieved. The Group
performance targets applicable to this award are set out in detail in our 2018 Remuneration Report, available online at
www.absa.africa.

Clearance to deal has been obtained for the abovementioned transaction.
