NEDBANK GROUP LIMITED

(‘Nedbank Group’)

RESULTS OF THE GENERAL MEETING OF NEDBANK GROUP SHAREHOLDERS TO APPROVE
THE ODD-LOT OFFER

Background

Nedbank Group shareholders are referred to the Nedbank Group announcement published on SENS
on Monday, 15 October 2018 (‘Odd-lot Offer Announcement’) confirming the board of directors’
decision to proceed with the implementation of an odd-lot offer (‘Odd-lot Offer’) to repurchase Nedbank
Group ordinary shares from shareholders (‘Odd-lot Holders’) holding less than 100 Nedbank Group
ordinary shares (‘Odd-lot Holdings’) at a 5% premium to the 10-day volume weighted average price
of a Nedbank Group ordinary share at the close of business on Monday, 3 December 2018 (‘Offer
Price’).

The Odd-lot Offer will provide Odd-lot Holders with the ability to dispose of their Odd-lot Holdings on an
efficient basis and will provide liquidity for those Odd-lot Holders who elect to sell their Odd-lot Holdings
or who make no election. For Nedbank Group, it will, inter alia, reduce the complexity and ongoing
administrative costs associated with a significantly larger shareholder base.

Odd-lot Holders can elect to retain their Odd-lot Holdings or sell their Odd-lot Holdings at the
Offer Price. Those Odd-lot Holders who do not make an election by 12:00 (SA time) on Friday,
14 December 2018 will automatically be regarded as having accepted the Odd-lot Offer and
chosen to dispose of their Odd-lot Holdings.

Results of the General Meeting

As stated in the Odd-lot Offer announcement, the Odd-lot Offer is subject to Nedbank Group
shareholder approval. Nedbank Group shareholders are advised that the voting results for the general
meeting (‘General Meeting’) of Nedbank Group held today, Thursday, 22 November 2018, were as
