1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1. The Opportunity This Project presents the opportunity to invest in a 110-bed private hospital in the Ulundi, an area situated in the northern part of the KwaZulu-Natal Province within the Zululand District, in the Ulundi Local Municipality. Ulundi Local Municipality is a Category B municipality and one of the five municipalities in the district, making up almost a quarter of its geographical area. Ulundi is the power hub of central Zululand where there is a large unmet demand for private healthcare. 1.2. Bed Demand Set out below is the analysis of beds projected based on the catchment area needs analysis and the King Cetshwayo Private Hospital bed analysis: There are currently no private hospitals in the target catchment area, as a result the segment of the population that can afford private healthcare services has to travel to facilities in the Richards Bay and eThekwini regions. The 110 bed King Cetshwayo Private Hospital is deemed necessary for the area based on the market research performed by Demacon Market Studies which indicates a demand of at least 103 private beds being completely unmet in the primary catchment area. Demacon’s methodology for the market study gives a potential private bed requirement of up to 206 beds in the primary and secondary catchment area. This means there is more than enough demand for the project to be feasible. 1.3. Project Returns Set out below in Table 1 are the key Project returns over the life of the Project along with key ratios: Table 1: Key Project Returns and Ratios over Project Life KEY OUTPUTS IRR/NPV R'000 22 Years R'000 IRR - Project 15,1% IRR - Equity Project [email protected]% 18,2% Equity NPV@12% 391 149 204 921 CREDIT RISK Min Min Date Average DSCR_All 0,22x 29-Feb-24 2,45x DSCR_Senior DSCR_Junior 0,22x 29-Feb-24 2,62x 0,02x 30-Apr-25 2,91x KING CETSHWAYO PRIVATE HOSPITAL PROJECT – PIM: JULY 2020 Page |8
Project Peak funding is R418 million (including capitalized interest over 24 months construction period and commissioning period). The Project has a reasonable Equity IRR of 18.2%, which meets the minimum hurdle rates for hospitals and other long-term infrastructure projects. It is anticipated that an in-depth value engineering currently being undertaken with result in project cost reduction and even further improved project returns. The project NPV is R391 million on discounting project cash flows at WACC of 8.79%. The Equity NPV is R204 million based on equity cash flows discounted at a required rate of 12% The interest rate on Senior Debt and Junior Debt is variable rate of 9.75% and 12.25% respectively. 1.4. Project Key Performance Indicators Set out below in Table 2 are the key Project Ratios based on Pre-feasibility stage work completed: Table 2: Project Key Performance Indicators Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year 6 Year 7 Turnover 46,237 115,285 140,140 166,041 200,238 229,534 258,473 EBITDA 1,982 12,053 23,009 36,425 49,632 61,664 76,616 Interest (13 535) (29 822) (31 362) (30 372) (28 672) (26 230) (22 894) Expense (19 297) (36 352) (26 936) (12 530) 2 377 16 330 33 891 EBT Cash flow from 377 6 040 962 4 385 19 118 33 628 51 939 Operations 4% 10% 16% 22% 25% 27% 30% EBITDA % -1% -2% 1% 5% 9% 13% 17% -13% -34% 3% 19% 28% ROA 186% 273% -33% -18% 253% 158% 358% 397% 353% ROE D/E Ratio The revenue drivers, i.e. occupancies and theatres utilization are based on a similar size facility managed by the Busamed, the proposed Hospital Operator. The EBITDA% is strong due to low rent on land lease as well as the consolidation of the property and hospital operations. The interest expense includes interest on both the building and medical equipment debts. KING CETSHWAYO PRIVATE HOSPITAL PROJECT – PIM: JULY 2020 Page |9

The initial market study which was the basis of a successful license application was undertaken by Demacon in November 2017. An updated market study was undertaken in June 2020 so that it reflects the current market conditions. The advent of Covid19 has presented the hospital industry with excessive demand for healthcare services against the shortage of critical beds and personnel protective equipment. The economic impact of Covid-19 presents market and affordability risks mainly for the under-insured and out-of-pocket paying patients. Policymakers, strategists and advisors to governments are of the view that Covid-19 present governments with opportunity to implement universal health coverage like NHI. This will result in efficient resource utilization to the benefit of the healthcare industry albeit at the expense of margins. KING CETSHWAYO PRIVATE HOSPITAL PROJECT – PIM: JULY 2020 P a g e | 12
The Project Sponsor has to date been funding development costs from his limited financial resources and is in the process of securing strong equity/seed funder. The Financial Model is based on a Debt:Equity structure of 60:40. The letter of intent from RHM indicates a likely equity contribution of R50million, thus creating an equity short fall. The Project will thus be proceeding through to Financing Stage and final detailed design and interaction with the Specialists and the landowner (Ingonyama Trust) over the following 3 months. Busamed has been preselected to be the Hospital Operator. A fee proposal has been negotiated and a non-disclosure agreement has been signed. A Hospital Operator Agreement will be negotiated to incorporate sufficient risk mitigation structures. Concept engineering reports have been generated for all services. The reports are accompanied with conceptual line drawings. Design development is going to start in July 2020 after getting sign off on the proposed value engineering proposals. 1.8. Project Benefits The project has several macro-economic and socio-economic benefits, which include: Development in geographical areas identified in the government’s Integrated Sustainable Rural Development and Urban renewal projects. Opportunity to provide a world class facility to take advantage of the excess demand for private healthcare in the area. Socio-economic upliftment in the Ulundi area in the Zululand District Municipality. Skills development for the unemployed. Creation of at least 150 new direct permanent jobs at the hospital facility and several indirect jobs. Infrastructure development (e.g. housing, transport, and healthcare). 2. PROJECT BACKGROUND 2.1. Hospital License The project was initiated by the Project Sponsor, Mr. Thulani Mengoe, after realizing a need for private healthcare in Ulundi, KwaZulu Natal.

7. MARKET AND COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS 7.1. Overview - Healthcare in South African The South African healthcare industry comprise of providers of products and services on one hand and funders on the other. The providers of service include hospitals, doctors, administrators, and pharmaceutical suppliers. The funders comprise of medical aid insurance, government, and NGOs, and “out of pocket” individuals. The Government and NGOs spends 20% of total healthcare expenditure to deliver healthcare to 84% of the population. The private sector on the other hand spends, mainly through medical aid 80% on 16% of the population. The scenario puts pressure on the already stretched public resources. Private sector healthcare investment is a welcome relief and bodes well for a successful universal coverage scheme (NHI). The South African healthcare industry was estimated at R310 billion in 2013. This figure has been growing at a compound rate of 10.4% for the past 4 years despite slowing economy economic growth and it is expected to reach R 460 billion in 2018. Healthcare expenditure has hovered around 8% of the South African GDP which is in line with other OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries and this is expected to continue. Such a big portion of an emerging economy’s expenditure offers huge investment potential. More than half of the country's healthcare expenditure comes from the private sector. This is even though only about 20% of the population use the private healthcare sector. Higher earners and foreigners working in the country make up most of the people that use the private sector. 7.2. Public Hospital Funding in South Africa South Africa’s health system consists of a large public sector and a smaller but fast-growing private sector. South Africa currently offers a universal health cover through its national health service and all residents have access to the healthcare provided by the public sector. High levels of poverty and unemployment mean healthcare is largely the burden of the state, consuming two-thirds of the health budget. The dedication of the government towards improving health conditions in the country are also evident from the various provisions made in the recently released national budget for the financial year 2014-2015. Although the state contributes c. 40% of the nation’s total health expenditure, the public health sector is under pressure to deliver services to c. 80% of the population. Despite this, most resources are concentrated in the private health sector, which caters to the health needs of the remaining 20% of the population. KING CETSHWAYO PRIVATE HOSPITAL PROJECT – PIM: JULY 2020 P a g e | 19
7.3. Private Hospital Industry in South Africa The private healthcare industry is regulated by the provincial health departments who are the custodian of licenses to develop and run such facilities in accordance with the Regulations Governing Private Hospitals and Unattached Operating Theatres, regulation 158 of 1 February 1980. The private healthcare industry has grown significantly over the last two decades. This sector plays a pivotal role in providing quality healthcare services to at least 38% of South Africa’s population. Due to the failure of the public healthcare system to provide high quality healthcare service, the private healthcare sector has become more important in providing high quality healthcare service in the Country. As of 2016/17, there is approximately 363 private hospitals and day theatres in South Africa. Netcare, Life Healthcare and Mediclinic are the most dominant private hospital groups in South Africa, making an oligopoly of the market. These private hospital groups own at least 75% of the private hospital beds in South Africa. The number of private hospital beds has increased from 24 402 in 2000 to 36 959 in 2016/17. The majority of the private beds is in the hands of the Big 3 groups. Netcare had the largest number of beds (10 088) registered across all their hospitals followed by Life Healthcare with 8 636 registered beds and MediClinic with 8 007 beds in 2016/17 (see Table 12). The balance of the private beds belongs to National Hospital Network (NHN), a grouping of mining hospitals and independent players like Busamed, Clinix, Melomed, JMH, Lenmed, Advance Health, etc. The total number of private beds in South Africa have been growing at an average annual growth rate of 3.3% from 2002 - 2009. Since 2000, an additional 2 190 659 beneficiaries joined medical schemes, a growth of approximately 34% to 8 778 348 beneficiaries in 2013. In 2013, about 16.5% of South Africa’s population were beneficiaries of medical schemes. The increase in GEMS membership and beneficiary coupled with the introduction of LIMS increased the beneficiaries to ca20% of the population. This indicates that the current medical scheme coverage of 11.6 million lives is highly correlated with income and affordability levels.

Private healthcare expenditure has been growing at a rate of above 6% per annum as shown in the table below: Table 13: Private Healthcare Expenditure Trends (South Africa 2010-2018) Private Healthcare Expenditure Trends, Historic data and Forecasts (South Africa 2010-2018) Private Health Spend 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017f 2018f (USD bn) 16,896 18,187 17,328 15,818 15,230 17,739 20,455 22,440 23,920 27.78% 7.64% -4.72% -8.71% -3.72% 16.47% 15.31% 9.70% 6.60% (% y-o-y) 123,683 132,091 142,213 152,663 162,963 173,572 183,927 194,560 205,320 11.11% 6.80% 7.66% 7.35% 6.75% 6.51% 5.97% 5.78% 5.53% Private Health Spend (ZAR bn) 53.41% 52.30% 51.20% 50.49% 49.66% 48.62% 47.46% 46.39% 45.34% (% y-o-y) Private Health Spend As % Total Health Expenditure Source: World Health Organization (WHO) Private healthcare expenditure as a percentage of total healthcare expenditure is forecast to decrease mainly due to increased government expenditure on healthcare. Healthcare insurance schemes are the biggest contributor to private sector healthcare spending, accounting for approximately 80% of the total followed by out-of-pocket payments, equating to approximately 14% and contributions by non-profit organizations to households making up the 6% Based on the CMS 2017/18 annual report, there were 21 open schemes and 59 restricted schemes at the end of 2012. The biggest medical schemes are Discovery Health (2,79 million), Government Employees Medical Scheme (1,81 million), Bonitas (0,7 million) and Polmed (0,5 million). 2018 statistics show that about 16.5 million people were employed in South Africa earning an average of R22,500 in gross monthly wages. Of these 4.039 million people were medical scheme main members. There were 8.9 million medical scheme beneficiaries. There is scope for more employed people to take up medical schemes membership as less than 50% are currently medical scheme members which could potentially translate into more private healthcare expenditure. This bodes well with the trend of increasing private healthcare expenditure. 7.4. Demand for Healthcare The demand for healthcare in South Africa is determined by the following macro and local economic factors that drive the decision to obtain healthcare or not: KING CETSHWAYO PRIVATE HOSPITAL PROJECT – PIM: JULY 2020 P a g e | 22
Factor Comments Household income source About 63.5% of households in South Africa are dependent salary income. Education Education promotes empowerment, economic growth, and general welfare improvement. Health facilities / location In South Africa 91.7% of the population utilize the nearest health facility. Medical Aid About a quarter of South African households have at least one member who belongs to a medical aid scheme. Under the proposed new National Health Insurance, it is envisaged that there will be universal coverage allowing all South Africans to have medical insurance. Consumer market profile There is a positive tendency for the market profile towards the development of a private hospital due to increased demand for quality healthcare. 7.5. Ulundi Market Analysis The hospital will be located in Ulundi area, within Ulundi Local Municipality. The municipality is one of the five municipalities under the jurisdiction of The Zululand District Municipality. Figure 2: Locality Map: Zululand District Municipality Source: Zululand District Municipality Draft IDP 2020/21 P a g e | 23 KING CETSHWAYO PRIVATE HOSPITAL PROJECT – PIM: JULY 2020
The Zululand district has two airports, Ulundi Airport (Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi Airport) and Vryheid Airport. The Ulundi Airport has daily flights to Pietermaritzburg and is envisaged to alleviate the high traffic volumes on the roads leading to Ulundi and the accidents on these roads. Figure 3: Ulundi Airport (Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi Airport) The Ulundi Municipality is located in North Eastern KwaZulu-Natal covering an area of approximately 3 750km² and has a resident population of some 230,000 People (Expanding during Holiday Periods). Figure 4: Locality Map - Ulundi Local Municipality Source: Ulundi Local Municipality IDP 2019/20 P a g e | 24 KING CETSHWAYO PRIVATE HOSPITAL PROJECT – PIM: JULY 2020
7.5.1. Public Healthcare Facilities The Zululand IDP 2012 – 2016 notes that there are 4 Hospitals and 27 Clinics in the Ulundi District which offer medical facilities to what are predominantly State Assisted Patients. The existing Hospitals provide some 500 Useable Beds at a ratio of 2.1 Beds/1,000 Population. Associated with these Hospitals are 267 Clinics rendering Primary Health Care services (including Aids/HIV, Childcare, Family Planning and Immunisation against Tuberculosis and other Diseases) to Communities within the Municipal Boundaries. Set out below in Figure 8 is the network of public hospitals in the catchment area: Figure 5: Network of Public Hospitals in Catchment Area Source: Demacon, June 2020 As illustrated in Figure 8 there are 4 public healthcare facilities that have been identified as servicing the catchment area. Set out below in in Table 15 is the profile of public hospitals in the catchment area. From this information, there are only 617 beds servicing the entire catchment area and the closest hospital to the proposed hospital site is about 13km. KING CETSHWAYO PRIVATE HOSPITAL PROJECT – PIM: JULY 2020 P a g e | 25

Private Healthcare Facilities No Private, Academic or Specialist Hospital exists in Ulundi Municipal Area, nor is there a facility which caters for “Private Medical Aid” and affluent patients within the Municipal Area and these patients currently travel to hospitals in Durban (eThekwini) and Pietermaritzburg (uMgungundlovu) for hospitalization and medical treatment, distances of 240kms and 300kms respectively. Accordingly, it has been identified that an integrated Private/Public Hospital of approximately 100- 120 beds together with a modern Out-Patient Department, necessary Infrastructural Facilities, Educational Facilities, Staff Accommodation and Social Facilities would be needed to address the shortfall in Health Care Facilities in Ulundi Town and the immediate surrounding District. 7.5.3. Income levels of the catchment population The key driver in the viability of a private hospital facility is the income levels of the population in the catchment area. KCPH Hospital will be a private facility and it is therefore important to understand to what extent the target population can afford to pay for the services to be provided. Ulundi has the second highest Average Annual Household Income in the Zululand District Municipality. It also has the second highest number of households, after Abaqulusi Local Municipality. Ulundi also has a high number of Economically Active Population (EAP). This bodes well for the proposed hospital as well as people of Ulundi. According to Econex (2016/17), the private hospitals’ contribution to the South African economy: For every R100 of private hospital services delivered by private hospital groups, South Africa’s GDP grew by R123 For every person directly employed by private hospital groups, almost 5 additional (formal and informal) jobs are supported in the South African economy. KING CETSHWAYO PRIVATE HOSPITAL PROJECT – PIM: JULY 2020 P a g e | 26
For every R10 million worth of capital investment, private hospital groups create 20 jobs Capital expenditure of R10 million stimulated R7.3 million in GDP Set out below in Table 17 are the key economic indicators for the identified catchment areas: Table 15: Key Economic Indicators for the catchment areas Population Measure Municipality Provincial/National Total Population Ulundi Nongoma AbaQulusi uPhongolo eDumbe KZN SA Population growth % (2011 to 2016) 205,762 211,892 243,795 141,247 89,614 11,065,240 55,653,653 Average Household Size Total Households 2.01 1.90 2,89 3.03 2.00 1.7 1.6 R76,401 to 5.3 5.6 4.8 4.4 5 3.8 3.9 R153,800 38,553 36,409 51,472 34,667 17,415 2,875,843 14,410,256 R153,801 to R307,600 2,430 1,924 3,134 1,581 761 R307,601 to R614,400 1,583 966 2,153 944 420 R614,401 to See Comments below R1,228,800 703 178 1,126 404 232 119 72 239 90 38 R6,401 to 6.7 % 7.5 % R12, 800 2.2 % 3.0 % 0.6 % 1.0 % R12,801 to See Comments below R25 600 R25,601 to R51,200 R51,201 to 0.3 % 0.4 % R102,400 Unemployment rate 38.3 38.5 25.9 26.4 29.9 26.1 26.5 (%) 7 546 000 36 905 000 Economically Active 138,977 136,603 165,020 95,896 60,184 Population (EAP) Source: Extract from Zululand District Municipality IPD-2019/20 and Stats SA Comments: Data regarding income from Zululand District Municipal IDP is only available as an income per household, whereas the same information is provided at an individual level at provincial and national level.

KING CETSHWAYO PRIVATE HOSPITAL PROJECT – PIM: JULY 2020 P a g e | 27
7.5.4. Ability to pay - Medical Insurance and Out-Of-Pocket To assess the ability of the population to pay, several different factors need to be considered, beginning with a demographic snapshot as outlined in Table18 below: Table 16: Catchment Area Demographic Snapshot Category Catchment Provincial National Total Population Area Statistics Statistics 205,762 11,065,240 55,653,653 Total Number of Households 38,553 2,875,843 14,410,256 Average household Size 5.3 4.0 3.9 Average Income per household per annum R80,764 R 83,050 R 103,204 Source: Demacon & Zululand District Municipality IPD-2019/20 Average household income is a direct indicator of consumer demand for a broad spectrum of economic goods and services – such as private healthcare. Average household income, to an extent, also reflects the living standard of a household, and influences aspects such medical aid coverage. Table 18 displays a snapshot of the catchment area (summarized from Table 17). The 2011 census states the average household income in South Africa at R103 204 per annum. The statistics for the catchment area can be summarized as follows: 72.2% of households in the market area earn annual incomes below R38 401 (less than R3 200 per month) – of which 13.0% of households earn no income at all. 20.0% of households earn annual household incomes between R38 401 and R153 600 (between R3 200 and R12 800 per month) 6.9% of households earn annual household incomes between R153 601 and R614 400 (between R12 801 and R51 200 per month) 0.8% of households earn annual household incomes more than R614 401 per annum. The weighted average annual household income in the market area (for households earning an income) amounts to R80 764 per annum / R6 730 per month (2017 values). The weighted average annual household income in the market area (LSM 4 – 10+) amounts to R180 389 per annum / R15 032 per month (2017 values). KING CETSHWAYO PRIVATE HOSPITAL PROJECT – PIM: JULY 2020 P a g e | 28
South African National Statistics estimate that 18% of the total population holds some form of health insurance. Furthermore, research completed by Econex1 showed that in addition to this 18%, about 28%-38% of the population pay out of pocket for private healthcare services. The combination of insured and out-of-pocket payers affects the potential number of people who could access private healthcare. 7.5.5. Bed requirements in catchment area Set out below is the estimated bed requirements as per Demacon model, considering the LSM, affordability of private healthcare either through a medical insurance or out of pocket. Table 17: Estimating bed requirements MARKET DEMAND (Baseline Scenario) PRIMARY DEMAND 2020 2025 2030 2020 Medically insured population (people) 21 409 22 457 23 556 Additional insured lived per annum Population growth rate (% / annum - compound 0.96% 200 220 growth) National Average (beds / 1000 population medically 0.96% 0.96% insured (private beds) Private beds in demand 4.8 4.8 4.8 SECONDARY DEMAND 103 108 113 Injection Secondary demand 33% 33% 33% Private beds in demand 10 708 11 228 11 778 TOTAL MARKET DEMAND Number of beds 51 54 57 154 162 170 Source: Demacon Market Studies From Table 25, it is evident that there is a requirement for 154 beds in 2020. Since there are currently no hospitals in the catchment area, private patients in the catchment area are therefore likely to be utilizing facilities in the eThekwini region for private healthcare. 1 Econex: The South African Private Healthcare Sector: Role and Contribution to the economy http://www.econex.co.za/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_download&gid=106&Itemid=60 KING CETSHWAYO PRIVATE HOSPITAL PROJECT – PIM: JULY 2020 P a g e | 29
The lack of private healthcare in the vicinity of the development means the proposed 110- bed facility will meet demand, thus further strengthening the case for the selected location of the KCPH. Set out below in Table 18 is a summary of the supply and demand in the catchment area: Table 18: Summary of Supply and Demand in Catchment Area MARKET SUPPLY (Trade Area Apportioned Effective Competitive Supply) 2020 2025 2030 170 Number of beds 154 162 0 Private beds supply - None 00 170 33% MARKET POTENTIAL 56 Net effective demand (residual market capacity) 154 162 Market share (% market share of total beds for facility) 33% 33% Market potential (total number of viable beds for facility) 51 54 Source: Demacon Market Studies We can see from Table 18 that demand exceeds supply and we can therefore be sure that the hospital is viable at 33% market share of total beds required. Limitation: It is unclear if any other new private facilities are being planned for within the target catchment area. 7.5.6. Medical Facilities / Disciplines Gap Analysis The following medical facilities / disciplines were identified as gaps in the market and relevant for consideration as part of the private hospital. Medical Discipline Effective Market Gap Development Prospects Pediatrics Yes Renal Dialysis Yes Moderate – High HIV/TB Clinic Yes Moderate – High Cardiology Yes Moderate – High Moderate – High KING CETSHWAYO PRIVATE HOSPITAL PROJECT – PIM: JULY 2020 P a g e | 30
The market gaps identified are in line with the disease burden in the catchment area. The medical facilities / bed mix and the service offering in terms of the awarded license allows KCPH to address the gaps identified during the market study. It should be noted that the success of any disciplines is largely dependent on the availability and support of Specialist doctors. The utilization of the hybrid cardiac theatre and cardiac beds rest on the success in securing Cardiac/Cardiothoracic surgeons and are currently a critical specialty in short supply. 7.5.7. Conclusion In summary, it can be concluded that there is demand for the hospital to be built and the licensed bed mix is reasonably in line with the ideal bed mix as per disease burden statistics. However, the key risk going forward is that it is not known how many other hospitals in the catchment area are being planned or have been awarded licenses. If a number of these are activated in the coming years, it could impact the proposed facility in a way that cannot currently be estimated. The relatively low income of most of the municipalities in the catchment area could also pose a demand risk, however this may be mitigated by the facility being the only private bed hospital in the area. The Sponsor also has the option of developing say 70 beds initially and only scaling up once demand has been proven. This option carries the risk that DoH may reduce the licensed beds to what has been built, with no guarantee that cancelled beds will be approved in future. 7.5.8. Occupancy In addition to the market research by Demacon, consideration was given to views and inputs from Busamed based on their experience in operating similar facilities, to arrive at the occupancy and/or ramp-up assumptions.

HOSPITAL DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION 8.1. Area Description The proposed 110 bed acute private hospital is located on King Shaka Road in Ulundi, on the north eastern part of the KwaZulu Natal province. Ulundi Municipality covers an area of roughly 3750km2 and has a population of 230 000 people. The proposed King Cetshwayo Hospital Site is identified as Portion 17 of the Farm No: 20 of 15840 Ulundi, measuring 4 Hectare in extent. The size is enough for the proposed two-story hospital development. KING CETSHWAYO PRIVATE HOSPITAL PROJECT – PIM: JULY 2020 P a g e | 32
Figure 6: Hospital Site This parcel of land has been acquired by Wagna Projects KZN (Pty) Ltd from the Ingonyama Trust, led by his Majesty the King, Goodwill Zwelithini through a lease on the land. o The proposed Private Hospital is located in Ulundi, the main administrative centre within the local municipality, on the R66 which connects Ulundi directly to Nongoma in the North and Melmoth to the south, then leading to the N2 which connects the town to the coastal cities. o The site enjoys high levels of regional and local accessibility and is serviced by all modes of transport, in an area experiencing increased pressure for residential, social and commercial development. o The site is located in proximity of a number of commercial uses and a number of social, religious and educational facilities. KING CETSHWAYO PRIVATE HOSPITAL PROJECT – PIM: JULY 2020 P a g e | 33
Figure 7: Site Location and Site Survey The town of Ulundi is the only formal urbanized node within the Zululand District Municipality and houses all formal (first Economy) economic activities. The areas surrounding the town of Ulundi are generally characterized as large, densely populated tribal areas with an informal settlement pattern. These areas are completely reliant on Ulundi for employment, goods, and services. Ulundi is also situated on the main road network system and is therefore a connection and concentration point for people and activities. 8.2. Site Characteristics The following key points are considered pertinent in understanding the site characteristics: The site is underlain by tillite of the Dwyka Formation, Karoo Supergroup. Residual soils have developed from the weathering of the tillite bedrock. The site classifies as soft excavation to depths varying between 1,2m and 2,0m (average depth 1,4m). Below these depths the site generally classifies as intermediate excavation material upon very dense residual tillite varying to very soft rock tillite. The intermediate excavation material could be removed using medium to heavy earthmoving equipment and / or power tools. The intermediate excavation material is anticipated to be of the order of 0,5m to 1,0m thick. KING CETSHWAYO PRIVATE HOSPITAL PROJECT – PIM: JULY 2020 P a g e | 34
Hard rock excavation on tillite bedrock would occur below the intermediate excavation material. The tillite bedrock would require excavation by blasting. An allowable bearing pressure of 250kPa could be utilized for the medium dense to dense reworked residual tillite. These founding horizons occur at depths varying between 0,1m to 0,7m (average depth 0,4m) below present ground level. Conventional strip / spread foundations could be utilized as suitable foundation types. In the areas of deeper cut, where the very dense to very soft rock / soft rock tillite is exposed at final terrace level or at shallow depth below final terrace, conventional strip / spread foundations could be placed upon the above founding horizons utilizing an allowable bearing pressure of 750kPa. In the areas of thick bulk fill conventional strip / spread foundations could be placed directly within the engineered fill material provided allowable bearing pressures are limited to 150kPa. The in-situ soils across the site (hill wash, reworked / residual tillite and very soft rock tillite bedrock) are considered suitable for use as general fill and lower selected layer material. 8.3. Bulk Services Electricity will be supplied by Ulundi Local Municipality. The site is located between two substations. The main substation has 2 x 20MVA and the maximum demand for Ulundi does not exceed 16MVA. Therefore, there is sufficient capacity to accommodate 2MVA required by the development. Road and storm water: the main road is available, access road tie in with existing road as per Geometric design. Ulundi has a Waste Transfer Station registered with the Department of Environmental Affairs, whereby waste is collected and temporally stored and transported for final disposal to uThungulu landfill site. The Zululand District Municipality confirmed the availability of Water and Sewer networks up to the main road next to the site. The connection costs are for the account of the developer.

8.4. Building Design Layout and Rational (1) Storeys: Phase 1 is accommodated on the Ground and First Floors Ground Floor levels accommodate the back of house (Kitchen, Plant Rooms, etc.) and maintenance; (2) Structure Foundations: the foundation is generally envisaged as being a combination of Concrete Column Bases and Concrete Strip foundations. Frame: Conventional reinforced concrete columns and beams. Floors (Non-Suspended / Surface Bed): Ground Storey floor is envisaged as being a 125mm thick unreinforced mass concrete surface bed on compacted hard fill. Floors (Suspended): o Intermediate Floors are envisaged as generally being 255mm thick reinforced concrete; o Roofs slabs – a minimum of 255mm thick, as these will perform vertical expansion of the hospital, the roofs will become the next intermediate floor slabs to the next storey above. Exterior Walls: Generally a combination of polystyrene filled cavity brickwork and glass curtain walling. (3) Footprint: The concept design proposes a Gross Building Area (GBA) of approximately 10,769 m². This equates to 97.9 m2 per bed. (4) Orientation: The new hospital will be orientated along this longitudinal axis in a linear configuration and; be generally North facing, with plant, services and delivery areas on the South Western side (5) Aesthetic Exterior o The exterior should be generally modernistic minimalistic, with clean and uncomplicated horizontal lines; o Finishes should be a combination of white walls, off shutter concrete and some degree of aluminium cladding on certain feature areas. (6) Future Expansion The structure should be designed so as to be able to accommodate a further 2 storeys over the Ground Storey, i.e. 1st and 2nd Storeys; Wards and Units will be so designed and configured, so as to permit a relative ease of future expansion or continuation KING CETSHWAYO PRIVATE HOSPITAL PROJECT – PIM: JULY 2020 P a g e | 36

11.2. Overall Risk Analysis Set out below is a high-level assessment of the key risks for the project: Financial Low/Medium/High Financial Structure M Legal and regulatory L Market / commercial M Portfolio / Sector exposure L Technical / Engineering L Environmental L Management/Operating L Supplier L No material flaws have been identified for the Project with market risk to be addressed based on the results of the updated market study currently being undertaken so that it reflects the current market conditions. The initial market study was undertaken by Demacon in November 2017. The Project Sponsor has to date been funding development costs from his limited financial resources and is in the process of securing strong equity/seed funder. The Financial Model is based on a Debt:Equity structure of 60:40. The letter of intent from RHM indicates a likely equity contribution of R50million, thus creating an equity short fall. The Project will thus be proceeding through to Financing Stage and final detailed design and interaction with the Specialists and the landowner (Ingonyama Trust) over the following 3 months. Busamed has been preselected to be the Hospital Operator. A fee proposal has been negotiated and a non-disclosure agreement has been signed. A Hospital Operator Agreement will be negotiated to incorporate sufficient risk mitigation structures. 12. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS 12.1. Conclusion on Viability of the Project The cash flows appear reasonably robust from the 2nd year of operations and consistently increases in line with inflation, projected at 5.0% and occupancy increases (reaching an average of 71.6%). Overall, the Project is viable with average EBITDA margin of 16% in year 3, increasing to 25% by year 5 of operations, based on current assumptions. The Senior DSCR is low at 0.86x in year 3 of the Project (i.e. 3rd year of operations), when the grace period expires. The ratio improves to an average of 1.3x in year 4, when the Project is ramping up. KING CETSHWAYO PRIVATE HOSPITAL PROJECT – PIM: JULY 2020 P a g e | 43
During the first two years of operations, while the Project is still ramping up, a standby facility in the form of junior debt or equity should be injected into the cash flows in order to decrease the debt burden during the early years. 12.2. Financial Model Preparation and Input Assumptions A BFS 22 year (2-year construction and 20 year operational) financial model with supporting assumptions was prepared and is available for review. This was based on a review of the original promoter business plan and assumptions and combined inputs from professional team as well as hospital operator’s experience in similar projects. 12.3.
