NEW ROLE FOR ABSA`S DEPUTY GROUP CHIEF EXECUTIVE
Absa Group advises that Louis von Zeuner, Deputy Group Chief Executive, will
move to a non-executive role effective 1 January 2013. As a non-executive
director, he will serve on the boards of Absa Group, Absa Bank and certain
subsidiaries. Mr von Zeuner will still devote 60% of his time to Absa and the
Barclays Group upon assuming this role.
This change is being announced well in advance of the move as part of the
managed succession process that Absa follows and to ensure that all stakeholders
are informed in a timely manner.
Mr von Zeuner will remain Deputy Group Chief Executive for the remainder of
2012. During this time he will also chair the newly established Africa Customer
and Africa Community Investment Committees. Mr von Zeuner will continue to chair
these committees after he becomes a non-executive director and will also assist
in mentoring young talent.
Teleconference
A teleconference will be held at 1:00 PM South African time to discuss the
