VOLUNTARY ANNOUNCEMENT: STADIO HOLDINGS PROPRIETARY LIMITED
(“Stadio”) ACQUIRES SOUTHERN BUSINESS SCHOOL PROPRIETARY LIMITED
(“SBS”)

Shareholders are hereby informed that Curro, through its wholly
owned subsidiary, Stadio, has entered into an agreement to
acquire 74% of the issued share capital of SBS, which will hold
a 51% interest in Southern Business School of Namibia
(“Acquisition”). The Acquisition is subject to the fulfilment
of certain conditions precedent, including the approval of the
requisite competition authorities.

SBS is a South African registered higher education institution,
with SBS Namibia being recognised by the Namibian Qualification
Authority. SBS has 11 accredited distance learning programmes
(ranging from higher certificates to masters’ degrees) with
three academic schools which offer dedicated programmes as well
as short courses, namely the School of Business and Economics,
the School of Safety in Society and the School of Law.

Founded by Chris Vorster in 1996, the business school offers
accredited programmes through distance learning, and has grown
from 38 students in 1996 to approximately 9 956 students
currently enrolled in South Africa and Namibia. In 2016, SBS
launched a Bachelor of Commerce (Law) degree as part of its
strategy to expand its range of programmes offered. SBS will
seek out growth opportunities by introducing new programmes as
well as increasing its presence and reach geographically.

This strategy is aligned with Stadio’s strategy of creating
further access to tertiary education through the expansion and
development of its core brands.

Curro re-affirms its intention to unbundle and list Stadio
separately during the course of this year. Shareholders are
advised that further details in respect of such unbundling and
listing will be released on SENS in due course.
