2. LETTER FROM CHAIRMAN

Dear Shareholder,

In line with the strategy reported in the past 2 annual reports and via communications in the quarterly reports I confirm that the executive team has continued with the strategy embarked on over the previous three years which was to reduce debt via the sale of assets. Given the huge challenges as a result of illiquidity, the lack of shareholder support to fund investments and operations, together with the challenges of raising new capital, marginal success was achieved towards further debt reduction of all group debt.

The heavy cost of finance and inability to fund cash starved infrastructure and investments resulted in continued reduction in shareholder value. Illiquidity inhibited executives in the implementation of any turnaround plans focused on re-engineering the group strategy back to its historically successful private equity roots which existed prior to the global financial crisis.

The executive team has at all times attempted to keep directors and the majority of shareholders informed about the current and ongoing status of the group.

Illiquidity on the one hand and the worst possible time to sell assets on the other hand, and especially property assets, has created a stressful and difficult environment within which to operate. I am however pleased to report that in spite of all the difficulties expressed in this letter we have continued in our attempts to identify and evaluate investment and acquisition opportunities. Directors have been determined to stabilize the group via sale of assets, elimination of debt and focus on a strategy geared towards re-structuring the group and providing a platform which would be more attractive to new capital raising and thereafter proceed with carefully screened investment opportunities.

The investment focus and strategy provides for two core investment components: Investment in Banks and Financial Services, and A private equity strategy structured via a Protected Cell Company (PCC), investing in niche areas /

market sectors where the group has traditionally been successful prior to the commencement of the global crash in 2008.

The sectors are tabled elsewhere in this circular. (also see proposed structure below)

The board now proposes to finally conclude the restructuring process through the elimination of the last highly geared asset Shelley Point Hotel, in settlement of debt, and acquisition of a majority stake in the Bank Sector which will become an “anchor investment” in the group’s portfolio.These transactions will enable management to give a fresh impetus to the Group’s core strategy and to actively seek out new avenues for development with an agenda of steadily recovering NAV for shareholders as a result of losses during the global recession.

Page 5: CLIENT REPORT TEMPLATE - Stock Exchange of · Web viewThe Circular includes particulars given in compliance with the Stock Exchange of Mauritius Ltd Rules Governing the Official Listing

The inherent risks and required working capital of any new strategy is not the subject of this circular and will be properly addressed early in 2014.

The Board of Directors of Dale Capital Group Limited is recommending the sale of Dale Capital Holdings (SA) Ltd for USD 2,596,356 with an effective date of 1st November 2013.

The Board is also recommending the acquisition of 64.25% of Kingdom Bank Africa Ltd via an issue of 28,000,000 shares in Dale Capital Group at a share price of MUR 3.An Application will be made, to the SEM once approval of the Bank of Botswana is obtained, which is expected to be in January 2014.

The Board of directors has approved the above transactions subject to appropriate shareholder and regulatory approvals. It is to be noted that the directors have obtained the approval of 65 % of Dale Capital Group Limited shareholders to proceed with these transactions.

Shareholders are encouraged to read this entire document, including the risk factors set out in section 10 before deciding how to vote. We recommend the disposal and acquisition.

In conclusion I thank management and staff for loyalty during and extremely difficult 3 year period and encourage shareholders to support management and the group during the recovery cycle.

Thanking you,

Norman Noland

4. INTRODUCTION

Dale Capital Group Limited has during the course of this current financial year, which ends on 28 February 2014, been involved in attempts to sell highly geared and non-cash generating investments and then to return to its successful private equity strategy prior to the global crash in 2008. Presenting the company as a Private Equity Investment Holding Company, investing in niche sectors of business in Southern Africa.

As a result of the above Dale Group:

i) Has placed its main asset, Shelley Point Hotel Spa and Country Club Limited into Business Rescue. This was necessary to avoid liquidation as a result of illiquidity and expensive levels of debt..

ii) Decided to exit the Les Ecuries Hotel and Beach Club Project in Mauritius.iii) After extensive discussions over 2 years directors have successfully concluded agreement to acquire

a majority stake in Kingdom Bank Africa Limited which will be settled with new shares in DCGL.

Brotherhood is an investment holding company registered in Guernsey, Channel Islands under company number 455789 and having its administered office at Stenham Trustees Limited in Guernsey.  Brotherhood has been involved in raising capital and making private equity investments within the sub-Saharan area since 2000.

He is best known as a founding partner in greenfield banking and financial services franchises in Zimbabwe, Botswana, Malawi and South Africa together with a recovery operation in Zambia. Mr Chanakira has sold off his commercial banking interests to focus exclusively on private equity and offshore banking through Dale Capital

Under the terms of these transactions Dale will reduce its ownership and related risk in Shelley Point to Zero.

5. STRATEGIC RATIONALE AND TRANSACTION

(a) Rationale and initiation of the Transaction

In numerous announcements to shareholders and the public over the last two years directors have continually announced strategic focus to eliminate all debt, re-structure and then conclude a strategic partnership with the majority owners of Kingdom Bank Africa Limited. The partnership/merger is conditional on the sale of Shelley Point Hotel Spa and Country Club given the heavy interest burden on the Hotel and the continued Liquidity pressures arising from the investment.

The intention in this circular is to outline and announce the steps taken in order to formalise the exit of Shelley Point Hotel. The Key benefits of the disposal of the shares will include;

- Reduce the gearing of the Listed Company by USD 2,596,356 and the Group by USD 8,889,518- Conclude commitments for cash resources available to strengthen and fund new ventures

7

Page 8: CLIENT REPORT TEMPLATE - Stock Exchange of · Web viewThe Circular includes particulars given in compliance with the Stock Exchange of Mauritius Ltd Rules Governing the Official Listing

- Increased focus on core strategy, as considerable attention has been directed to cope with the illiquidity of the group and challenges which have been continued to impact on directors given the group’s current position.

- Allow for a leaner Balance Sheet and increase the chances of capital raising.- Potentially improve the ability of directors to raise further new capital:

o to expunge the remaining lower levels of debt post approval of the transactions documented in the circular,

o To fund group operations.o To adequately further capitalise targeted investments in the pipeline including Kingdom Bank

Africa Limited. Discussions with foreign based investors have proceeded well and directors hope to conclude commitment to invest in the group as soon as the required approvals have been obtained.

It has always been the company’s strategy to align itself with a “Financial Services Partner”. In recent years these partnerships have been via ownership of equity in Trinity Asset Management and AfrAsia Bank. The extreme difficulties which faced the group soon after the commencement of the global recession and the fact that almost all of the group’s investment where in investment cycles which were not as yet income generating resulted in directors having to proceed with the sale of assets in order to reduce debt. This has been a difficult task and the approval of these transactions will to a large extent eliminate the remaining illiquidity challenges faced by directors.

The conclusion of the Kingdom Bank Africa Limited acquisition places the group in a position where it will be speedily able to implement the company’s strategic focus of being a private equity investment holding company investing, primarily, in financial services and selected other niche sectors, where the directors have experience, network and opportunity.

The Dale directors in establishing this strategic relationship with the current majority shareholders of Kingdom Bank are confident that the potential successes of a new common vision will speedily be realised.

9. CAPITAL REDUCTION

After relevant consultations, the Board of Directors of the Company has decided that the Company shall make the following capital reduction.

(i) Reduction of the stated capital of the Company by USD 20,500,000 (“Proposed Capital Reduction”).

The credit arising from the proposed capital reduction of USD 20,500,000, respectively will be used to set off against the accumulated losses of the Company as at 28 February 2014. The Capital Reduction does not involve any reduction in the authorised or issued share capital of the Company, nor does it involve either the diminution of any liability in respect of unpaid share capital or the payment to any shareholder of any paid up share capital.

The Capital Reduction will become effective as from 28th February 2014 in the books of Dale Capital Group Limited.

Reason for the Capital Reduction.

It is estimated that at 28 February 2014, the Company will have, on a unconsolidated basis before the capital reduction, accumulated losses of approximately US$21 Million. The Capital Reduction, which has the effect of setting off the accumulated losses of the Company against the credit arising on the Capital Reduction, is designed to ensure that the Company will have a capital structure that would permit the payment of dividends as and when the Board of Directors considers it appropriate in the future. At this stage, there can be no assurance that a dividend will be declared or paid in future even if the Capital Reduction has become effective.

Impact of the Capital Reduction

Implementation of the Capital Reduction will not, of itself, alter the underlying assets, business, operations, management, financial position or the share capital of the Company.

10. RISKS

The Group will continue to be exposed to risks as disclosed in its last annual report. Given the current transaction, these risks will be greatly reduced in South Africa and more focused and dependent on the macro-economic conditions prevalent in Mauritius until such time as the Group concludes its additional acquisitions and spreads its risk further.
