ASA International Group plc - Appointment of Sheila M'Mbijjewe as Independent
Non-Executive Director

ASA International Group plc (LSE: ASAI), one of the world's largest
international microfinance institutions, is today pleased to announce the
appointment of Ms Sheila M'Mbijjewe as an Independent Non-Executive Director.

Upon appointment, Sheila became a member of the Audit and Risk Committee, the
Remuneration Committee, and the Independent Directors Committee of the Board.

Sheila is a citizen of the Republic of Kenya, and is both a UK and Kenyan
qualified Accountant. She retired in June 2023 as the first female Deputy
Governor of The Central Bank of Kenya, following the completion of her second
and final four-year term. As well as being a core part of the central bank
leadership team overseeing the Kenyan financial system, Sheila was actively
engaged in promoting pan-African financial stability and developed a wide
knowledge and range of contacts across the continent. Prior to joining The
Central Bank of Kenya, she worked for Standard Chartered Bank and rose to
become Executive Director and Head of Consumer Banking, East Africa.

The Board believes that Sheila's unique combination of commercial banking and
regulatory experience, particularly in an African context, will be invaluable
in the coming years as the Group further grows its business across Africa.

This announcement is made pursuant to Listing Rule 6.4.6R. In accordance with
LR 6.4.8R, the Company confirms that there is no information to be disclosed
in terms of LR 6.4.8R (1) to LR 6.4.8R (6) inclusive in respect to Sheila
M'Mbijjewe.
