Renewal of cautionary announcement
Shareholders are referred to the cautionary announcements released on SENS on
Thursday, 23 September 2004 in which shareholders were advised that Absa was in
discussions with Barclays plc (`Barclays`), a leading international financial
institution, about a possible partial offer by Barclays to all Absa shareholders
to acquire a majority stake in Absa.
Progress has been made in this regard and discussions with Barclays are
continuing. Accordingly, Absa shareholders are advised to continue exercising
caution when dealing in Absa securities until a further announcement is made.
