1 CORPORATE PROFILE 2017

2 COMPANY COMPANY ORGANOGRAM Novare was founded in South Africa in October 2000 as an independent investment advisory business. In 2006, the management of Novare took a strategic decision to expand beyond the borders of South Africa. Novare Equity Partners was established as a private equity firm investing exclusively in sub-saharan Africa outside of South Africa. Since then, the group has built an extensive network and gained valuable experience and insight into investing on the African continent, increasingly regarded as an investment destination of choice. As a private equity fund with a specific mandate to invest in the real estate sector, both retail and commercial, our strategy is to leverage off the expansion of successful South African and international companies in the rest of Africa. Given rising consumer spending by the increasingly affluent middle class in sub-saharan Africa, the need for modern retail facilities far outstrips the current supply. Novare s experience and risk mitigating strategies in Africa assist in identifying and implementing sound development opportunities as well as navigating the renowned challenging landscape. The acquisition of strategically located urban real estate is integral to Novare s investment process. By partnering with the largest and most successful retail companies in Africa as tenants, we are able to deliver superior investments to the market. We deal with premier institutions, high-end project and property management as well as construction companies to mitigate construction and development risks.

3 INVESTMENT RATIONALE OUR OFFERING Globally, the pace of urbanisation is increasing. It is predicted that by 2030, 59% of the world s population will live in cities. For developing countries, this number is 55%, an increase of just under 10 percentage points from current levels. The UN states that over 90% of urbanisation will occur in developing countries. In 1980, only 28% of Africa s population lived in cities, rising to 40% in There are 52 African cities with a population of more than a million, equaling Europe, and surpassing India which has 48. Modern retail facilities in urban areas are few and far between in sub- Saharan Africa. In the US in 2010 there were 2.5 m² per capita of modern retail space. The corresponding figure for Europe was 1.5. For Zambia it was and for Nigeria, with its massive potential market, As at the end of 2013, the whole SSA s modern retail mall stock (excluding South Africa) totalled 0.5 mil m² whilst South Africa had a total of 21mil m². This is with a population 16 times bigger than South Africa, and an economy almost three times the size of South Africa. The continent s rising middle class is increasingly demanding improved retail experiences. The rise of mobile technology has had a visible impact on African consumers. Local and international news, social media and awareness of products and services available outside of the continent have contributed to the emergence of a savvy middle-class of consumers eager for higher quality products. Novare launched its first Fund, the Novare Africa Property Fund I in July 2010, raising $81 million predominantly from South African Pension Funds. The Fund s characteristics made it a perfect fit given the longer term horizon, as well as above-average returns, these investors need. Strong demand to participate in the African growth story as well as the additional portfolio diversification benefits via the 5% that the South African Reserve Bank allows South African Pension Funds to take up in African investments outside of their borders also assisted in creating the strong demand. The Novare Africa Property Fund II had its first close at 30 June It was launched due to continued demand investors demonstrated for opportunities managed by reputable and knowledgeable professionals on the sub-continent. The fund closed on 30 June 2016 and raised $351 million. Both funds target returns in excess of 25% net of fees, and are domiciled in Mauritius as well as listed on the Mauritian Stock Exchange. The Novare Africa Property Fund I made its first investment in the development of the Novare Apo mall (opened June 2012), the first of its kind in the capital of Nigeria and which changed the retail landscape of this prosperous city almost overnight. Shoprite is the anchor tenant, alongside prominent brands like KFC, Mr Price, MTN, LG, Adidas and Samsung. 3

4 OUR OFFERING Further allocations were made to developments across the rest of Africa. The Novare Lekki mall development in Lagos opened in August With both Shoprite and Game as anchor tenants, it is the biggest mall in Lagos. Additional investments that the fund is committed to include the Novare Gateway mall in Abuja with Shoprite confirmed as an anchor tenant. The Novare Central office park is located in the heart of Abuja s CBD across from the new High Court, and is a mix-use development consisting of retail and commercial space. The Novare Matola mall development is located on the busy EN4 highway that connects Maputo (Mozambique) to Nelspruit (South Africa). It falls within Matola, a historically industrial area of Maputo, the most populous city in Mozambique and has developed to become a strong mid income residential node and suburb of Maputo. The retail development will be anchored by Premier Superspar. Novare s first foray into Zambia is the Novare Great North mall located along the bustling Great North Road of Lusaka. Situated close to the famous Heroes Stadium, Novare Great North will cater to a previously underserved region of Lusaka, helping to relieve the heavy inner city traffic pressure
