Contract Forwarding is required to repay R 25 million of its shareholder loan prior to the implementation of the disposal, which amount will be borrowed from a third party funder. In addition R10 million of the shareholder claim will not be sold, and any cash advances made by MMS to Contract Forwarding between the effective date and the implementation date will be repaid. 2. Rationale for the Disposal The Disposal follows a decision by Mvelaserve to focus on higher margin sectors. 3. Financial Effects The unaudited pro forma financial effects of the disposal set out below have been prepared to assist Mvelaserve shareholders in assessing the impact of the Disposal on the Company`s historical earning per share ("EPS"), headline earnings per ordinary share ("HEPS"), net asset value per ordinary share ("NAVPS") and net tangible asset value per ordinary share ("NTAVPS"). The pro forma financial effects are the responsibility of the directors of Mvelaserve and are provided for illustrative purposes only. The pro forma financial effects have been prepared on the basis that the disposal had been fully implemented on 1 July 2011 for Income Statement purposes and as at 31 December 2011 for purposes of the Statement of Financial Position. The pro forma financial effects do not purport to be indicative of what the consolidated finical results would have been had the Disposal been implemented on a different date. The material assumptions are set out in the notes following the table. Due to their nature, the pro forma financial effects may not fairly present the financial position, changes of equity, results of operations or cash flows of Mvelaserve after the Disposals.
