    Accelerated Strategic Execution, Successful Equity Raising, Leadership Change and Rationalization of Costs

    Atlas Mara Limited (the "Company" or the "Group"), the sub-Saharan Africa banking group, today announces several measures to accelerate its strategic execution of its three core areas: Commercial and Retail Banking, Fintech, and Markets and Treasury. This will enable faster expansion and responsiveness to changes in the market environment. As part of the execution strategy, the company plans to significantly reduce operating expense and staff cost at the center by more than US$20 million per year on an annualised basis.

    The Group's three core businesses will be run by existing Group leadership: Sanjeev Anand will become Group Managing Director for Retail and Commercial Banking, Mike Christelis, Group Managing Director for Markets and Treasury, and Chidi Okpala, Group Managing Director for Fintech.

    Effective 15 February, John Vitalo stepped down as CEO and from the Board. John joined the company in 2014 as Atlas Mara's first CEO, leading the company to its current, profitable seven-country footprint and operational scale. The Board will appoint a new Group CEO in due course.

    To seed its Fintech and Global Markets Business, and for general corporate purposes, the company successfully closed an oversubscribed equity raise through a placing of ordinary shares. Over 90% of this offering was subscribed by our existing shareholders, as announced to the market earlier today.

    Atlas Mara expects its 2016 full year earnings to be broadly in line with market expectations.
