ACQUISITION OF 100% OF XWES PROPRIETARY LIMITED T/A NTSIKA ICT SECURITY
1. Introduction
The board of directors of 4Sight Holdings is pleased to announce that Foursight Holdings Limited
(“Foursight South Africa”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, has entered into an
agreement and addenda thereto with Ntsika ICT Holdings Proprietary Limited (33%); TV Bensch
(27%); Pfortner Consulting Proprietary Limited (20%) (“Pfortner”); BV Nditha (8%); Sui Cura Trust (5%);
MJ Clark (3%); and AJ Hartley (4%) (“Vendors”) for the acquisition of 100% of the shares in XWES
Proprietary Limited t/a Ntsika ICT Security (“Ntsika”) (the “Acquisition”) with effect from 1 April 2018
(“Effective Date”). The Vendors are not related parties to 4Sight Holdings. Ntsika will become a
subsidiary of Foursight South Africa and will adhere to the provisions of paragraph 10.21 of Schedule
10 of the JSE Listing Requirements.
2. Description of Ntsika
Ntsika was formed in 2017 and it is an Internet of Things (“IoT”) cyber security start-up, specialising in
building security solutions addressing risk appropriate multifactor authentication, secure and
encrypted communications and early warning threat detection solutions for industrial control
system and IoT deployments. Ntsika is focused on bridging the gap between operational
technology and information technology security requirements, enabling the extraction of value
from secure digitization and industry4.0 initiatives.
3. Terms and conditions
The aggregate purchase consideration will be paid primarily on an Earn-out basis (“Purchase
Consideration”) in 4Sight Holdings shares as set out below, subject to the number of Earn-out shares
being limited to such number of 4Sight Holdings shares that would not oblige the Vendors to make
an offer to all 4Sight shareholders in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, No. 71
of 2008:
3.1 Actual net profit after tax for the 9-month period from 1 April 2018 until 31 December 2018,
multiplied by a price earnings ratio of 6, divided by 3;
3.2 Actual net profit after tax for the 12-month period commencing on 1 January 2019 until
31 December 2019 multiplied by a price earnings ratio of 6, divided by 3; and
3.3 Actual net profit after tax for the 12-month period commencing on 1 January 2020 until
31 December 2020, multiplied by a price earnings ratio of 6, divided by 3.
4. Rationale for the Acquisition
4Sight has an exclusivity agreement to take Pfortner’s Cyber tech into Mining, Manufacturing, Telco
and to introduce it into China. Ntsika has the commercial rights for Authlogics. Authlogics and
Pfortner are leading brands in the Cyber technology space. Cyber Security is a critical element that
needs to be addressed with any digitisation initiative, especially in the convergence of the
Information Technology and Operational Technology sectors of mining and manufacturing
companies.
5. Conditions precedent
The Acquisition is subject to the fulfilment of the following conditions precedent by no later than 30
April 2018 (“Closing Date”):
5.1 approval by the board of directors of 4Sight Holdings; and
5.2 any regulatory or JSE approval, to the extent necessary.
6. Financial information
There is no prior financial information as Ntsika is a newly formed entity which only started
operations late 2017.
The Vendors have provided a gross profit forecast for the periods ending 31 December 2018,
31 December 2019 and 31 December 2020 as follows:
Period Gross profit forecast
9 months ending 31 December 2018 R1 383 804
Year ending 31 December 2019 R4 060 659
Year ending 31 December 2020 R7 204 932
The forecasts are considered to be stretch targets and are considered optimistic. The forecasts
have accordingly not been warranted by the Vendors.
7. Classification of the transaction
The Acquisition is classified as a Category 2 transaction in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements
pertaining to companies listed on the Alternative Exchange of the JSE on the basis that the number
of shares to be issued will not exceed 34.99% of the Company’s issued share capital at date of issue
and thus shareholder approval is not required.
