Forward Looking Statements
This document contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 21E of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and Section
27A of the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to certain of the
plans, current goals and expectations of Absa Group Limited (Absa) relating to
its future financial condition and performance. These forward-looking statements
can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or
current facts. Forward-looking statements sometimes use words such as "aim",
"anticipate", "target", "expect", "estimate", "intend", "plan", "objective",
"believe", or other words of similar meaning. Examples of forward-looking
statements include, among others, statements regarding Absa's future financial
position, income growth, impairment charges, business strategy, projected levels
of growth in the banking and financial markets, projected costs, estimates of
capital expenditures, and plans and objectives for future operation.
By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because
they relate to future events and circumstances including, but not limited to,
the further development of standards and interpretations under International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) applicable to past, current and future
periods, evolving practices with regard to the interpretation and application of
standards under IFRS and pending tax elections with regard to certain
subsidiaries, as well as South African domestic and global economic and business
conditions, market related risks such as changes in interest rates and exchange
rates, the policies and actions of government and regulatory authorities,
changes in legislation, the outcome of pending and future litigation, the impact
of competition, and Absa's ability to increase earnings per share from
acquisitions, which may be affected, among other things, by the ability to
realise expected synergies, integrate businesses, and costs associated with the
acquisition and integration - a number of which factors are beyond Absa's
control. As a result, Absa's actual future results may differ materially from
the plans, goals, and expectations set forth in Absa's forward-looking
statements.
Any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of Absa speak only as of the
date they are made. Absa does not undertake to update forward-looking statements
to reflect any changes in its expectations with regard thereto or any changes in
events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. The
reader should, however, consult any additional disclosures that Absa has made or
may make in documents it has filed or may file with South African regulatory
authorities including its most recent annual report.
