The notes are 10-year ZAR participation notes linked to the Goldman Sachs Momentum Builder Focus ZAR-ER Index, issued in 39,500 units at R1,000 each and maturing on 30 October 2036. It is a listing notice: the payoff terms sit in the pricing supplement, not here.","plain_english":"Absa has created a new batch of notes and the JSE has granted approval for them to list on 30 October 2026. Each note costs R1,000 and is a participation note linked to a Goldman Sachs index over ten years.

Nothing here re-prices Absa's credit or earnings; the economically meaningful content — the participation mechanics, any barrier, and the amended tax and change-in-law provisions — sits in the pricing supplement.
