 Discontinued operations
 Current period
 Shareholders are referred to the SENS announcement dated 12 December 2023 announcing
 the disposal of Eqstra to Nedbank Group Limited (''the Transaction''), wherein definitive
 transaction agreements were concluded between the parties. The suspensive conditions to
 the Transaction were fulfilled and the Transaction became unconditional on 19 April 2024.
 Shareholders are referred to the SENS announcement dated 13 June 2024, wherein it was
 advised that the Transaction was implemented in full on that date.
In terms of IFRS 5, Eqstra has been reported as a disposal group held for sale and discontinued
operation from 31 August 2023, the date that the conditions were met to be classified as such.
In terms of IFRS 5, Eqstra was required to cease depreciation and amortisation from 1
September 2023 and assess the carrying value of the held for sale assets relative to the
transaction value. Consequently, depreciation and amortisation from 1 September 2023 to
disposal amounting to R424 million (after tax R310 million) was not recorded in the current
period and the disposal group held for sale was impaired by R310 million.
The total HEPS range would have been between 106c and 122c per share had Eqstra not been
classified as a disposal group held for sale and discontinued operation. This is primarily due to
depreciation ceasing on assets within Eqstra at the point of classification as held for sale.
The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been reviewed or
reported on by the Company's auditors.
