PUBLICATION OF T H E 2025 INTEGRATED REPORT AND DISTRIBUTION OF
NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND A CHANGE STATEMENT
2025 Integrated Report and Audited Financial Statements ("AFS")
Shareholders are advised that the Company's 2025 Integrated Report will be published on
Absa Group's website (https://www.absa.africa/absaafrica/investor-relations/annual-
reports/) on 1 April 2026.
In addition to the Integrated Report for the 2025 financial year, the Company has
published its Remuneration Report, Sustainability and Climate Report, Tax Transparency
Report, and Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Report, together with its
B-BBEE certificate, all of which are available on the website.
The Group's audited annual results and full Annual Financial Statements (the "Group's
Results"), together with the Pillar 3 Risk Management Report, were published on
Tuesday, 10 March 2026. As previously announced, the Group's Results were audited
by KPMG Inc. and PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc., and their unmodified audit reports are
included in the Annual Financial Statements, which are available for inspection at the
Company's registered office and on the Group's website at the address provided above.
The annual financial statements, originally published on 10 March 2026, were
subsequently amended and reissued. The amendment relates solely to the inclusion of
a table in Note 52.3 – Segment report per market segment, which was inadvertently
omitted from the originally issued annual financial statements due to an administrative
error. However, the table was included in the booklet published on the website on the
same day. As a result, the audit opinion was amended to refer to the revised financial
statements. No other amendments were made to the Group's Results or the related
auditors' reports.
