Investment portfolio

Mahube is an infrastructure company that offers investors exposure to infrastructure assets
in Southern Africa. Our vision 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. All
five renewable energy assets were licensed during Round 1 of the Renewable Energy
Independent Power Procurement Programme in South Africa, each to generate electricity
that they sell to Eskom under a 20-year power purchase agreement.
