NEDBANK GROUP AND NEDBANK – APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT NON-
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND CHAIRPERSON-DESIGNATE

Shareholders were advised on 2 December 2021 that Mpho Makwana’s term as Non-
executive Chairperson of Nedbank Group and Nedbank Limited (the Companies) was planned
to end at the Companies’ annual general meetings (AGMs) in 2023, and in line with this
announcement, Mpho will retire at the close of the Nedbank Group AGM on 2 June 2023.

The boards of the Companies are pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Daniel Mminele
(57) as an independent non-executive director and Chairperson-designate of the Companies.
The required regulatory approval for the appointment has been received.

The appointment has been made in terms of the Group’s policy on the nomination and
appointment of directors.

Daniel’s appointment as an independent non-executive director of the Companies will be
effective from 1 May 2023 and the boards of the Companies have resolved to elect Daniel as
Chairperson of the Companies immediately following the conclusion of the Nedbank Group
AGM scheduled to be held on 2 June 2023.

Daniel has significant banking and financial services experience. He is the outgoing Chair of
Alexander Forbes Group Holdings Limited and Alexander Forbes Investments Limited (having
tendered his resignation with effect from 30 April 2023), a former Chief Executive of ABSA
Group and ABSA Bank Limited, and served two 5-year terms as Deputy Governor of the South
African Reserve Bank (SARB) where his responsibilities during his second term included
Financial Markets, International Economic Relations and Policy, as well as the Human and
Operations Cluster. His committee memberships included the Governors’ Executive
Committee, the Monetary Policy Committee, Financial Stability Committee, Risk Management
Committee and the Prudential Committee. Before joining the SARB in September 1999, he
worked for African Merchant Bank and Commerzbank in South Africa, and WestLB in the UK
and Germany for 12 years.

Daniel holds Associate Certificates of the Chartered Institute of Bankers (London) in
association with City Polytechnic of London/Guildhall University; and a German Banking
Diploma (Bankkaufmann) from Sparkasse Paderborn and the Chamber of Industry and
Commerce in Bielefeld (Germany).

Daniel also served for the most part of 2022 as Head: Presidential Climate Finance Task Team
where he led and coordinated the work to give effect to the Just Energy Transition Partnership,
as well as the development of the Just Energy Transition Investment Plan, which was
launched in November 2022.

Daniel’s appointment follows a robust succession process for the Chairperson that
commenced early in 2022 and was led by Hubert Brody, Nedbank Group’s Lead Independent
Director, who commented: ‘Nedbank Group and the board are pleased to announce Daniel’s
appointment and the Group will benefit from his vast expertise and experience in banking and
financial services, including climate finance, through his serving as the head of the Presidential
Climate Finance Task Team. My board colleagues join me in wishing Daniel a successful
tenure with the Group and we express our sincere gratitude to Mpho for his service over the
years.’

Daniel Mminele noted: ‘I am honoured by this appointment and look forward to joining the
Nedbank Group as Independent non-executive director and Chair-Designate. I am looking
forward to working with board colleagues, the management team, employees and our broader
stakeholder community as we deliver on strategic commitments and ambitions in line with
Nedbank’s track record as a purpose-driven organisation.'
