Liquidity coverage ratio disclosure

In terms of the Basel III requirements in Directive 11/2014 issued in terms of section 6(6) of
the Banks Act, (Act No. 94 of 1990), banks are directed to comply with the minimum
disclosure on the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) of the group and SBSA Solo entity on a
quarterly basis. This disclosure is in accordance with Pillar 3 of the Basel III liquidity accord.

The LCR is designed to promote short-term resilience of the 1-month liquidity profile, by
ensuring that banks have sufficient high quality liquid assets (HQLA) to meet potential
outflows in a stressed environment. The minimum regulatory requirement for 2018 is 90%
and will increase by a further 10% on 1 January 2019 to reach the full 100% requirement.

                                                                     Standard Bank

Note:
1. Only banking and/or deposit taking entities are included. The group data represent consolidation
   of the relevant individual net cash outflows and the individual HQLA portfolios, where surplus
   HQLA holding in excess of the minimum requirement of 90% have been excluded from the
   aggregated HQLA number in the case of all Africa Regions entities.

2. The above figures reflect the simple average of 90 days of daily observations over the previous
   quarter ended 31 March 2018 for SBSA including SBSA Isle of Man branch, Stanbic Bank
   Ghana, Stanbic Bank Uganda, Stanbic IBTC Bank Nigeria, Standard Bank Namibia, Standard
   Bank Isle of Man Limited and Standard Bank Jersey Limited. The remaining Africa Regions
   banking entities results are based on the average of the month-end data points at 31 January
   2018, 28 February 2018 and 31 March 2018. The figures are based on the regulatory
   submissions to the South African Reserve Bank.
