There were no modifications to the share-based payment arrangements in the years 2007, 2006 and 2005. As at 31st December 2007, the total liability
arising from cash-settled share-based payment transactions was £16m (2006: £7m).
At 31st December 2007, 7.5 million (2006: 6.9 million) options were outstanding under the terms of the BGI EOP (which would represent a 8.1% interest

exercised, £567.6m (2006: £400.5m) would be subscribed. Since the scheme was introduced, options over 20.9 million (2006: 19.3 million) shares have
been exercised, of which 5.0 million are still held by employees and represent a minority interest in the Group.
At 31st December 2007, there were 73.2 million, 13.6 million and 0.9 million options granted over Absa Group Limited shares under the Absa Group
Limited Black Economic Empowerment Transaction, Absa Group Limited Share Incentive Trust and Absa Group Limited Share Ownership Trust
respectively. In aggregate, these options would represent a 13.1% interest in Absa Group Limited if exercised.
