<strong>Standard</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> Group Analysis of financial results for the year ended 31 December 2012<br />

• Perpetual preference shares issued by SBG for the purposes of<br />

financing the transaction are classified as equity. Dividends<br />

paid on the perpetual preference shares are accounted on<br />

declaration and not on an accrual basis.<br />

The normalised adjustment:<br />

• recognises a loan asset by reversing the elimination of the<br />

redeemable preference shares against equity<br />

• accrues for preference dividends receivable on the loan asset<br />

within interest income<br />

• adds back the number of shares held by the black participants<br />

to the weighted number of shares in issue, for purposes of<br />

calculating normalised per share ratios<br />

• adjusts dividends declared on perpetual preference shares to<br />

an accrual basis.<br />

In December 2007, the group obtained financing, external to SBG,<br />

for a portion of the financing provided to the SPEs. As a result, the<br />

negative empowerment reserve was reduced by the value of the<br />

external financing obtained of R1 billion, and a proportion of the<br />

SBG shares held by the SPEs (24,7 million shares) are no longer<br />

deemed to be treasury shares for accounting purposes.<br />

In March 2008, 11.1% of the Tutuwa participants’ shares were sold<br />

to the ICBC with the proceeds being partly utilised for the repayment<br />

of their preference share liability, thereby releasing a further<br />

11,0 million ordinary shares previously deemed by IFRS to be<br />

treasury shares.<br />

Group shares held for the benefit of policyholders or<br />

to facilitate client trading activities<br />

The group acquires or sells short shares in SBG for two distinct<br />

business reasons:<br />

• Group companies’ shares held by Liberty are invested for the<br />

risk and reward of its policyholders, not its shareholders, and<br />

consequently the group’s shareholders are exposed to an<br />

insignificant portion of the fair value changes on these shares.<br />

• The group enters into transactions in its own shares to<br />

facilitate client trading activities. As part of its normal trading<br />

operations, the group offers clients trading positions over<br />

listed shares, including its own shares. In order to hedge the<br />

risk on these trades, the group buys or sells short its own<br />

shares in the market. The group’s shareholders are therefore<br />

exposed to an insignificant portion of the fair value changes on<br />

these shares.<br />
