Notice is hereby given to holders that participated in the Republic of Kenya's (the "Republic") invitation to eligible holders of its outstanding U.S.$900,000,000 7.000 per cent.

On 10 March 2025, the Republic instructed payment of the Purchase Price and the Accrued Interest Payment in accordance with the terms of the Tender Offer Memorandum.
