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. Notes due 2027 (Reg S ISIN: XS1843435840; Reg S Common Code: 184343584; 144A ISIN: US491798AJ30; CUSIP: 491798 AJ3) (the "Notes") to tender Notes for purchase by the Republic (the "Offer").

The Offer was announced on 24 February 2025 and was made on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the Tender Offer Memorandum dated 24 February 2025 (the "Tender Offer Memorandum") prepared by the Republic.

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.
