I, the undersigned, recognise that my circumstances and those of the persons shown above may change. I undertake to advise
investec / the Trustees of the Fund when any change should be made regarding my dependants or nominees (by completing

Nomination of beneficiaries

This explanation is not a legal document - the wording of the Pension Funds Act is definitive.

In terms of the Pension Funds Act, the Trustees of the Investec Group Limited Pension Fund and the Investec Group Provident
Fund are required to exercise their discretion to ensure that death benefits are paid in such proportions as they deem equitable to
a member’s dependants and /or persons who are not necessarily dependants but who are nominated in writing by the member.

Please list your dependants and any nominees on the nomination of beneficiaries form after you have read
the notes below:

In summary, the position is as follows:

a. The following categories of persons will be dependants:
i) persons in respect of whom the member is legally liable for maintenance (e.g. children and spouse);
ii) persons whom the Trustees consider to have been financially dependent upon the member at the time of his or her death

(e.g. partner, parents and siblings); and
iii) persons in respect of whom the member would have become legally liable for maintenance had the member not died (e.g.

an unborn child)

b. If there are dependants and nominees, the trustees must consider all dependants and allocate a portion of the benefit to one,
all or some of the dependants;

c. If there are no dependants but there are nominees, the benefits (or a portion thereof) must be paid to the nominee, provided
that if the member’s estate is insolvent, any debt in the estate must be set off against the death benefit and the remainder (if
any) of the death benefit must then be paid to the nominees;

d. If there are both dependants and nominees, the Trustees are required to consider all such dependants and nominees and then
determine the proportion which is to be paid to each dependant and / or each nominee.

Notes:

a. Any income tax payable, as well as any amounts payable in terms of section 37A and D of the Pension Funds Act (including
home loans and court orders) will be deducted from lump sum benefits due to dependants or nominees;

b. The fact that a person is classified as a dependant or nominee does not mean that the Trustees must award him or her any
portion of the benefit from the Fund;

c. The requirements set out herein do not apply to any insurance or life cover provided outside the Fund.

Employee Integrity Policy

Investec has a strong culture of entrenched values, which form the cornerstone of our behaviour towards stakeholders. These
stakeholders include employees, shareholders, clients, regulators, investment analysts, rating agencies, suppliers, the media and
the community. We are committed to honouring the trust and confidence placed in us through a combination of sound judgement
and informed professional advice.

One of our values requires employees to “conduct all internal and external dealings with integrity, consistently and
uncompromisingly displaying moral strength and behaviour which promotes trust”. Integrity and confidence are critical to our
reputation and sustainability.

Accordingly, we expect employees to adopt a responsible, open and trustworthy approach to managing their behaviour within the
organisation. Employees are encouraged to deal with issues openly and honestly, by sharing information directly and at any level
which they feel appropriate.

Corporate governance and regulatory compliance

Our businesses are subject to rigorous external regulation and supervision. Consequently, all employees have a duty to comply
with acceptable standards of corporate governance and international best practice which we adopt, having due regard for:
- The legal requirements of the region in which they operate
- The code of corporate governance applicable in that jurisdiction
- The standards of conduct and competence required of a financial service provider
- Ethical business practice, which includes fairness, accountability, responsibility and transparency.

Our philosophies, policies and practices are outlined in BAWI, published on the Investec intranet, http://www.iexpress.investec.com.

Risk management

Risk management is critical to our operations and in order to deliver value to all stakeholders, we continuously seek to comply with
international best practice.

Our people are our most important asset and in order to comply properly with acceptable standards of corporate governance and
international best practice, we continuously review our practices and ensure that employees comply with the required standards.
Where necessary from a business perspective, the following checks will be conducted from time to time:
- Verification of qualifications and experience
- Credit checks
- Criminal record checks
- Other checks as may be required

The employee’s responsibility

Each employee is responsible for living the values and complying with our policies and standards of best practice. Employees are
required, among other things, to:
- Work effectively under pressure, while exercising sound judgement and maintaining positive relationships with clients,

colleagues and management
- Ensure they minimise conflict between corporate and personal affairs
- Make a full disclosure (to management or Human Resources), where a potential activity or transaction is likely to constitute a

conflict of interests or to interfere with the individual’s responsibility to the group
- Make a full disclosure (to management or Human Resources), where the employee’s personal circumstances change in a

manner which may affect his or her ability to comply with our standards of best practice

If any of our standards are breached and this requires intervention, we will, where appropriate and practical, intervene and act in
accordance with the guidelines for fair procedure set out in the Labour Relations Act – Code of Good Practice for Employers. Any
misrepresentation by an employee will be regarded as serious misconduct and may result in disciplinary action being taken against
him/her.

Any queries or concerns regarding possible non-compliance or confl ict situations must be addressed immediately with
management, Group Compliance or Human Resources (either Employee Relations or the relevant HR resourcing consultant).

Confidentiality of employee information
- Any employee check will require prior authorisation by management
- Checks will be conducted only where there is a reasonable and justifiable business requirement

(where there is potential risk to Investec)
- The employee’s right to privacy will be upheld and respected at all times
- The confidentiality of employee information will be maintained

Declaration by employee
I acknowledge receipt of this policy document and confirm that:
a) I accept the terms and conditions contained in it
b) I undertake to make a full disclosure in the event that my personal circumstances change in a manner which may affect my

ability to comply with the group’s standards of best practice
c) I consent to the above checks being carried out should Investec deem it necessary from a business perspective
