DEALINGS BY DIRECTORS, PRESCRIBED OFFICERS AND COMPANY SECRETARY OF ABSA
GROUP
In accordance with paragraph 3.63 of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, shareholders are advised
that the following ordinary shares have been awarded to executive directors, prescribed officers and the
company secretary of Absa Group:
1. Absa Group Share Incentive Plan (SIP) – Long-Term Performance Award (Award/s)
The Share Incentive Plan, Long Term Performance Award is designed to incentivise long-term
performance with vesting of awards, subject to fulfilment of a combination of financial and non-financial
Absa Group performance targets (as disclosed in the Group’s Remuneration Report for 2020) measured
over a three-year performance period. For executive directors and the prescribed officers, this Award will
vest in three equal tranches on the third, fourth and fifth anniversary of the grant date subject to the
achievement of the performance targets, and continued employment requirements as set out in the SIP
rules. Dividend equivalents may be added to the Awards at the vesting of an Award tranche in terms of
the SIP Rules and will be paid to the extent that the shares vest.
The number of shares under the Award was fixed with reference to the 20-day volume-weighted average
price preceding the grant date (being 1 April 2021), which was the Award date determined by the Absa
Group Remuneration Committee at the time that the quantum of the Awards was determined, having
regard to 2020 Group performance and individual ability to support and influence the future execution of
the Group strategy. The Awards were granted to the executive directors, prescribed officers and
company secretary as set out in the table below, and have since been accepted on the date indicated
below.
