Investment portfolio

Mahube is an infrastructure company that offers investors exposure to infrastructure assets in Southern
Africa. The Company’s shares are listed and traded on the Main Board of the JSE Limited. 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. 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.
