This note has been privately placed by FirstRand Bank Limited.  Any prospective 
purchaser of the note should contact FirstRand Bank Limited for details of the  
terms of the note.  In this regard, prospective purchasers should be aware that:
1. The note issued is subject to the terms and conditions of the pricing        
supplement agreed between the Issuer and the subscriber(s) for the note and the 
Terms and Conditions of the Notes as set out in the Programme Memorandum dated  
29 November 2011 in respect of the Issuer`s Note Programme;                     
2. The performance of each note issued is linked to the performance of an       
underlying third party entity and/or obligation stipulated in the pricing       
supplement in respect of the note and accordingly, as the prospective purchaser 
will assume credit exposure to both the Issuer and such entity and/or           
obligation, the note is only suitable for purchase by financially sophisticated 
investors after conducting all relevant independent investigations.  The risks  
pertaining to credit-linked notes generally are more fully set out in the       
Programme Memorandum.  Copies of the Programme Memorandum are available from the
Issuer.
