Trading statement update for the year ended 31 December 2022

Standard Bank is currently in the process of finalising the group’s results for the year ended
31 December 2022 (FY22). The strong momentum referred to in the announcement on 28
November 2022 supported the group’s FY22 performance. The impact of the sovereign debt
challenges in Ghana were more than offset by strong performances across the rest of the
group’s franchise.

In accordance with section 3.4(b) of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited,
shareholders are advised that Standard Bank is satisfied that a reasonable degree of certainty
exists with regards to the group’s financial results for FY22. The group’s headline earnings
per share (HEPS) and earnings per share (EPS) for FY22 are expected to be higher than the
reported HEPS and EPS for the year ended 31 December 2021 (FY21), translating into:

                    FY21                 Range                         FY22 range
 HEPS              1 573.0      30% - 35% higher than FY21         2 044.9     2 123.6
 EPS               1 563.2      32% - 37% higher than FY21         2 063.4     2 141.6
