LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Member

I extend a warm invitation to you to attend the 42nd annual general meeting of Nedbank Group Limited to be held in the Auditorium, Retail Place West, Nedbank Sandton, 135 Rivonia Road, Sandown, on Thursday, 14 May 2009, at 09:00.

Included in this document are:

If you are unable to attend, you will be able to exercise your right as a member to take part in the annual general meeting by following the accompanying explanatory notes.

I should like to remind members of their right to raise questions, at the appropriate time, at the annual general meeting. As it is not always possible to answer every question raised at the annual general meeting, and to ensure that matters of particular interest to members are covered, members may use the attached question form to raise, in advance, any questions of particular interest to them. From the question forms returned we can assess the most popular topics, which I shall endeavour to address at the annual general meeting. This advance notice of relevant questions will, of course, not prevent any member from raising questions, at the appropriate time, during the annual general meeting.

The question form can be:

Should you require an interpreter (for sign language or translation from English into any of the other official languages of South Africa) to be in attendance at the annual general meeting, please do not hesitate to advise the Company Secretary’s office on +27 (0)11 294 9105/6/7 or at gawien@nedbank.co.za by no later than Thursday, 7 May 2009, for this facility to be arranged.

Yours faithfully
Dr RJ Khoza
