Letter from the Chairman

Chairman’s office

Dear Member

I extend a warm invitation to you to attend the 39th annual general meeting of Nedbank Group Limited to be held in the Auditorium, Retail Place West, Nedbank Sandton, 135 Rivonia Road, Sandown, Sandton, on Thursday, 4 May 2006, at 16:00.

Included in this document are the following:

• the notice of annual general meeting setting out the resolutions to be proposed at the meeting;
• annexure 1 to the notice of annual general meeting setting out explanatory notes regarding proxies and resolutions for the annual general meeting as well as important notes about the annual general meeting; and
• a form of proxy.

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 possible to answer every question raised at the annual general meeting, and to ensure that matters of particular interest to members are covered I should like to suggest that members 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 and I shall endeavour to address these at the annual general meeting, ensuring that they will not be overlooked. This advance notice of relevant questions will, of course, not prevent any member from raising questions during the annual general meeting.

The question form can be:

• forwarded to the Company Secretary, GS Nienaber, A Block, Ground Floor, Nedbank Sandton, 135 Rivonia Road, Sandown, 2196 (PO Box 1144, Johannesburg, 2000), to be received no later than 16:00 on Wednesday, 3 May 2006; or
• forwarded by hand, post or fax along with the form of proxy to our transfer secretaries, Computershare Investor Services 2004 (Pty) Limited, fax number +27 (0)11 688 5238, Ground Floor, 70 Marshall Street, Johannesburg, 2001 (PO Box 61051, Marshalltown, 2107), to be received no later than 16:00 on Wednesday, 3 May 2006; or
• handed in at the time of registering attendance at the annual general meeting, should the above options not have been chosen.

Yours faithfully
