1 Business Profile

2 Executive Summary Emerging African Property Holdings (EAP) is a fully fledged black women owned property Investment Company focusing on the listed and unlisted property sector. It has a strong balance sheet and is led by individuals with a proven business track record. The company is a Broad Based Black women owned business, with 52% black women shareholding. The company has business expertise, skills and experience predominantly in the South African commercial property environment and has grown its assets in REIT s (real estate investment trusts) over the past 10 years. 2

3 Background EAP is the company which stemmed from Money Box Investments 86, which has its origins as a 25% shareholder in Eagle Eye Investments. Eagle Eye Investments was the BBBEE (Broad based black economic empowerment) partner to Resilient. There were four shareholders in Eagle s Eye Investments, which included a women s grouping from Limpopo province and one from the Eastern Cape. The fourth shareholder was Siyakha Trust, a non-profit organisation that supports education and the building of schools in disadvantaged communities. The transaction was governed by a 10-year relationship agreement which expired in June 2016 and all outstanding indebtedness in respect of loan facilities have been settled. 3

4 Strategic Vision A group of like-minded predominantly black women have remained as shareholders who intend to expand the activities of the company and grow it into a substantial investor in the property sector. We believe the expertise of the individual shareholders in the South African property industry can be successfully leveraged to the benefit of not only EAP, but more specifically the companies within which we invest. We believe we can make a meaningful contribution at all stages of the investment process, bringing our accumulated knowledge, network, insights and experience to create mutual value. 4

8 Strategic Intent The company is well placed to participate in the sphere of opportunities that seek to promote South Africa s broad transformational agenda with a specific focus on black women. Our focus is property shares in both listed and unlisted sectors, and will not include direct property investments. The focus is on shares that exhibit a strong capital growth trajectory and sufficient yield to cover the debt funding. As individual shareholders, we share a common belief in the power of investing for the long-term based on a set of shared values. Accordingly, EAP is looking to have long-term stable positions. 8

9 Investments The Company is predominantly invested in Resilient. The focus is on the opportunities presented to a black women organization and the leverage they can contribute to the transaction. The nature of Investments are conservative and need to focus on areas where the Directors have skills and expertise in knowing and understanding the investment. Given the current economic environment, the use of debt will be on a conservative basis with limited recourse to the Company and Shareholders 9
