The financial results contained in the Securities Exchange News Service (SENS) announcement have been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standard (IAS) 34: Interim Financial Reporting, excluding paragraph 16A(j) as permitted by the JSE listings requirements; the South
African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial

Events after the reporting period

There are no material events after the reporting period to report on.

Reviewed results – auditors' conclusion

While these condensed consolidated interim financial results are neither audited nor reviewed, KPMG Inc and Deloitte & Touche, Nedbank's independent
auditors, have reviewed and expressed an unmodified review conclusion on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Nedbank, from
which the financial results contained in the SENS announcement have been extracted.

The auditors' review report does not necessarily report on all of the information contained in this announcement as it excludes information pursuant to
paragraph 16A(j) as permitted by the JSE listings requirements and includes additional commentary. Shareholders are therefore advised that in order to
obtain a full understanding of the nature of the auditors' engagement they should obtain a copy of the auditors' report together with the accompanying
financial information from Nedbank Group's registered office.

The directors take full responsibility for the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial results and for correctly extracting the financial
information from those underlying reviewed condensed consolidated interim financial results for inclusion in this SENS announcement.

Forward-looking statements

This announcement contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition and results of operations of Nedbank and its
companies that, by their nature, involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in
the future. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include global, national and regional
economic conditions; levels of securities markets; interest rates; credit or other risks of lending and investment activities; as well as competitive and
regulatory factors. By consequence, all forward-looking statements have not been reviewed or reported on by the group's auditors.

Nedbank non-redeemable non-cumulative preference shares – declaration of

shares recognised in the accounting records of the company at the close of business on Friday, 28 August 2015. The dividend has been declared out of

The group, in the ordinary course of business, enters into transactions that expose it to tax, legal and business risks. Provisions are made for known
liabilities that are expected to materialise. Possible obligations and known liabilities where no reliable estimate can be made or it is considered improbable
that an outflow would result are reported as contingent liabilities. This is in accordance with IAS 37: Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent
Assets.

There are a number of legal or potential claims against Nedbank Ltd and its subsidiary companies, the outcome of which cannot be foreseen at present.
