Investment Strategy

9

Invest in Africa

Not invest in Africa

Maintain operationsin Africa

Strategic OpportunitiesMinority positions in large investments where Athena Capital identifies significant value but which exceed our investment mandate

Early Stage OpportunitiesInvest in businesses where there are few or no potential acquisition targets in attractive or under-served industries or geographies

Mid-market Growth Opportunities

Majority positions in existing, successful businesses that present opportunities to leverage our resources and skills to drive growth

Value Drivers Rationale

Sub-Saharan expansion opportunities

• Leverage established platform companies to access high growth sub-Saharan markets

• Partner with skilled operators to execute the Company’s strategy

Services to high growth sectors

• Benefit from direct exposure to growth sectors (e.g., resource extraction and infrastructure development) without investing in underlying riskier operations

• Favour preferred sectors including manufacturing and processing, retail and consumer goods, agri-business and food processing, financial services and renewables and water

Consolidation and integration opportunities

• Extract value through revenue growth and cost synergies• De-risk investments by reducing customer and geographic concentration

and controlling supply chains

Underlying asset value • Reduce capital at risk by targeting businesses with explicit or inherent underlying value

Defendable barriers to entry • Achieve sustainably higher margins with lower market risk• Provide expansion opportunities and attractive exit options

“Investment prospects in Africa are favourable right now. Africa is the last uncharted territory on the investor's map and opportunities abound.”

• Capturing the agribusiness value chain

• Local market dynamics and Country dynamics

• Import Substitution vs Export Production

• Land rights

• Local relationships and access to agribusiness skills

• Platform / Holding Co approach vs Direct Investment
