Shareholders are advised, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 3.59 of the JSE Listings Requirements and paragraph 6.39 of the JSE Debt Listings Requirements, of the following change to the classification and responsibilities of a Director of Standard Bank Group and The Standard Bank of South Africa Limited (SBSA) that will take effect from 23 August 2023.
Atedo Peterside will complete his ninth year in office as a director of the company on 22 August 2023, resulting in his reclassification in terms of the South African Reserve Bank Prudential Authority's Directive as not being independent with effect from 23 August 2023.
Considering his imminent reclassification, the board agreed to withdraw Atedo's nomination as a member standing for re-election for the Group Audit Committee and therefore, resolution 2.5 was withdrawn at the AGM. Accordingly, Atedo Peterside ceased to be a member of the Group and SBSA Audit Committees effective 12 June 2023.
