Investment portfolio

Mahube is an infrastructure company that offers investors exposure to infrastructure assets in
Southern Africa. The vision of Mahube is to stimulate fast, inexpensive and sustainable delivery and
upkeep of infrastructure on a significant scale. Mahube aims to provide investment returns that are
characterised by predictable and regular cash flows generated from infrastructure assets, long-term
investment into ownership and operation of assets, and blue-sky upside from providing disruptive
solutions to infrastructure-related market inefficiencies. Currently Mahube has invested in and holds
equity interests in two wind farms and three solar photovoltaic farms with a collective power
generation capacity of approximately 400 MW. Four of the renewable energy assets were licensed

in South Africa. The fifth was licensed during Bid Window Round 2. Each asset generates electricity
that it sells to Eskom under a 20-year power purchase agreement.
