Our Rationale for Listing and Intended Capital Raising Exercise

• To raise the organisation’s profile and visibility and open

possibilities for growth beyond the Eastern Cape;

• To create a platform that will help us grow beyond our current

ability;

• To help increase the liquidity of the shares of the Company and

affordability of shares;

• Ability to implement a staff incentive scheme to help retain key

individuals;

• Ensuring all employees have ability to own shares in the Company

and thus ensure vested interest in performance and growth.

The rationale for the listing is:

• The large and established client base and staff of the NVFH Group;
• We will also place lines of stock with clients of Sasfin Securities on a

national basis to ensure a geographic spread.

Capital Raising will be done via a combination of a Preferential Offering and a Private Placement utilizing:
