CAUTIONARY STATEMENT

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT

In line with section 5.4c of the Listing Requirements of the Botswana Stock Exchange (BSE), an issuer must publish a cautionary announcement as soon as there is a reasonable degree of certainty that the expected profit or loss (before tax) for the period to be reported upon differs by at least 10% from the previous corresponding period.

Access Bank Botswana Plc has made significant investment in people, infrastructure and technology post-acquisition by Access Bank Plc in 2021. Our performance continues to show improved results on the back of increased volumes in trading and non-interest income due to key innovative products that have been launched, including good customer uptake for these products and services.

The Board of Access Bank Botswana Plc hereby advises shareholders that the Group’s profit before tax for the period ended 30th June 2024 will be 230% to 240% (approximately P41million to P43million) higher than the profit for the period ending 30th June 2023 of P18 million.

Shareholders are accordingly advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Company’s securities until the results are announced.

BY ORDER OF THE BOARD.
