share (“HEPS”) for the next period to be reported on are expected, with a reasonable degree of
certainty, to differ by at least 20% from those of the previous corresponding reporting period.

normalised EPS. As previously communicated to shareholders, FirstRand considers diluted normalised
EPS from continuing operations to most accurately represent operational performance.
