FURTHER TRADING STATEMENT

Shareholders are referred to the announcement released on SENS on 17 December 2025,
relating to the conclusion of the disposal of the group's shareholding in Ecobank Transnational
Incorporated ('ETI') ('Disposal') and resultant initial trading statement.

As a result of the Disposal and in terms of IFRS accounting standards, the cumulative foreign
exchange and fair value losses relating to the equity accounting treatment of the group's interest
in ETI over time, previously recognised via other comprehensive income ('OCI'), had to be
recycled to profit or loss in the 2025 reporting period. Shareholders were advised that basic
earnings per share ('EPS') for the 12 months ended 31 December 2025 ('FY25'), would decrease
by at least 20% from the 3 610 cents reported in the 12 months ended 31 December 2024
('FY24').

Nedbank Group now has a greater degree of certainty with regards to the expected EPS range
for FY25 as noted in the table below:
                                      FY24               FY25 low           FY25 high
 Basic EPS (cents)                    3 610                1 625               1 733
 Year on year ('YoY') change                               (55%)               (52%)

The recycling of the cumulative foreign exchange and fair value losses recognised via OCI is
specifically excluded from headline earnings and therefore has no impact on headline earnings
per share ('HEPS') and diluted HEPS. The recycling of the cumulative foreign exchange and fair
value losses recognised via OCI also has no impact on the net asset value ('NAV') per share.

In addition, following a slightly stronger finish to the year than expected, the group discloses the
following estimated ranges for HEPS, diluted HEPS, NAV per share and return on equity ('ROE'):

                                           FY24               FY25 low             FY25 high
 HEPS (cents)                              3 631               3 667                 3 740
 YoY change                                                     +1%                   +3%
 Diluted HEPS (cents)                      3 538               3 538                 3 680
 YoY change                                                      0%                   +4%
 NAV per share (cents)                    24 039               24 760               25 241
 YoY change                                                     +3%                   +5%
 ROE                                      15.8%                15.3%                 15.5%
