RENEWAL OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF FIRSTRAND’S B
PREFERENCE SHARES

FirstRand shareholders are referred to the cautionary announcements released on the Stock Exchange News
Service (SENS) on 2 March 2022 and on 13 April 2022 advising that the group is considering making an offer to
all holders of FirstRand’s B variable rate non-cumulative non-redeemable preference shares (the preference
shares) to repurchase the preference shares, subject to relevant shareholder and regulatory approvals.

The group is still assessing the optimal process to implement the repurchase. Shareholders are therefore advised
to continue to exercise caution when dealing in the preference shares until a further announcement is made.

The FirstRand board of directors collectively and individually accept responsibility for the information contained in
this announcement and certify that, to the best of their knowledge and belief, the information contained in this
announcement relating to FirstRand is true and this announcement does not omit anything that is likely to affect
the importance of such information.
