Voluntary trading update, No Change Statement and Notice of Annual General Meeting
1. Voluntary trading update
As at the date of reporting of the group's 2021 financial results (11 March 2022), ICBCS Standard
Bank Plc (ICBCS), as an emerging markets and commodities business, had exposure to certain
entities which were impacted, directly and indirectly, by the developments in Ukraine and Russia.
Since then, ICBCS has reduced the impacted counterparty positions and is actively managing the
related market risk.
The group has a 40% stake in ICBCS. We will provide a further update as part of our 1Q22 update in
late April 2022.
