About the NEF

4

NEF Mandate…

5

Established by the National Empowerment Fund Act No. 105

of 1998, the NEF is a driver and a thought-leader in promoting and

facilitating black economic participation through the provision of financial and

non-financial support to black empowered businesses, as well as by promoting a culture of savings and investment

among black people.

The NEF is an agency of the dti and is the only DFI exclusively mandated to grow

B-BBEE

5

6

Direct black equity control over the JSE’s average market capitalisation of R12.2 trillion as at 30 October 2015 (for Listed Companies), stood at 3% (R365 billion) for shares directly held by black South Africans.

To reach 25% of black control it requires an additional 22% worth R2.7 trillion at current estimated market capitalisation of the JSE.

This is a gap that still needs to be addressed and funded in order to achieve transformation of up to 25% of JSE market capitalisation.

Current Economic Overview & Strategic Considerations for the NEF

15

Economic Landscape

16

Global overview: • Global economy has been significantly impacted on by a continued

decline in Chinese economic growth affecting iron and steel manufacturing sectors

• Commodity prices continue to fall especially as a result of decreasing Chinese demand and oversupply.

• Modest to low growth in the USA and European markets Domestic overview: • The fall in commodity prices as a result of weak Chinese demand has

had a negative impact on the mining sector. • Locally, labour unrest and energy constraints add pressure on the

economy • Decline in economic activity in the Mining and Steel Manufacturing

sectors has led to widespread retrenchment announcements • Persistent US Dollar strength against a weakening Rand Subdued economic outlook has seen weakening growth rates. GDP is expected to be 1.5% (from initial forecasts of 2.0%) in 2015, and 1.6% in 2016.

17

Considerations for the NEF The economic climate calls for heightened post-investment monitoring: 1. Post-Investment Unit (POIU) reports that investee companies are

requesting: • Moratoria • Reduced instalments • Extension of loan tenures

2. Five of the seven companies transferred to the Turnaround, Workouts and Restructuring Unit are in the manufacturing and construction sectors which have experienced the knock-on effects of the decline in the steel manufacturing and mining sectors.

NEF Targeted interventions include: 1. Hybrid model of post-investment monitoring – The Funds work hand-in-hand with the POIU in a monitoring capacity shortly after funds have been disbursed 2. Training to support anticipated wide-spread retrenchments

• Investor education • Entrepreneurial training • Business planning

Recapitalisation & NEF’s Financial Position

35

"Fellow South Africans, we have to work more intensively to develop emerging or black industrialists. Many of the aspirant black industrialists complain about the difficulties they experience in obtaining industrial finance, supplier and retail markets, and technical production support. The National Empowerment Fund, the Industrial Development Corporation and the Small Enterprise Finance Agency will continue to provide finance to viable black-owned businesses to promote industrialisation. In addition, we encourage established businesses to support the development of black industrial businesses."

Presidential Injunction In the State of the Nation Address (SONA) on 13 February

2014, H.E. President Jacob Zuma stated as follows:

Dangers of not recapitalising the NEF:

1. Weakens public trust in Government’s commitment to B-BBEE.

2. Will result in a funding crisis for black entrepreneurs.

3. Has led to staff attrition and institutional memory leakage.

4. Threatens the potential collapse and closure of a high-performing organisation.

5. Undermines the historical obligation and importance of transforming the economy.

6. Emboldens private sector’s disregard for the transformation imperative.

7. Constitutes a political risk for the State.

1. In 2004 Government

promised to fund the NEF to the tune of R10bn “over the next five years”.

7. Efforts to obtain support from the Jobs

Fund in 2013.

8. Project Kopano initiated in June 2014: “business combination”

talks with IDC.

9. Current efforts: MTEF, IDC, UIF, PIC

& MTN Asonge Futhi.

2. Trust capital of R2,47bn awarded between 2004 & 2010, and R1bn raised from equity in

MTN through Asonge Share Scheme in 2007.

6. Temporary Moratorium from 1

May 2013 to 29 April 2014.

3. Operating expenses supported through the dti

transfers of R322mn over a 5 year period up to 2010.

4. Applications for recapitalisation

through the MTEF in 2012, 2013, 2014 &

2015.

5. Applications for reclassification & Limited Borrowing Rights in 2012 &

2013.

Journey of NEF Recapitalisation

36

37 37

NEF Capital Requirements

In order to meet the growing demand for business funding from black entrepreneurs

countrywide, the NEF requires an annual allocation of R2

billion over the next 5 years.

38

Project Kopano The NEF and IDC (supported by the dti and EDD) have been engaged in a process to find sustainable and long-term recapitalisation for the NEF. This project is referred to as “Project Kopano” and commenced in July 2014. The NEF was motivated by the need to respond to President Jacob Zuma’s State of the Nation Address of 17 June 2014, which had stated as follows: “The total assets of our Development Finance

Institutions amount to some R230 billion. However, their

impact on development is not sufficiently broad-based and

their investment programmes are not well coordinated. The

institutions will be repositioned in the next five years to

become real engines of socio-economic development.” The process assessed various structural options to coordinate and strengthen the investment programmes of the two DFIs.

39

Project Kopano – Option Analysis The options that were considered for the business combination are the

following: Continue as is – NEF remains a separate entity but products and services of the NEF

and IDC are rationalised to eliminate overlaps. The NEF remains a trust and IDC advances a facility to the NEF

Arms length subsidiary – the NEF’s assets and business is transferred to a

company which is a subsidiary of the IDC. NEF has a separate board, management and support structures. This option has various advantages including the fact that NEF continues as an independent entity focussing on BEE

Closely managed subsidiary – NEF re-established as IDC subsidiary. IDC Exco becomes NEF board. NEF management and support integrated into IDC. In this model the IDC manages the NEF and drives its strategic direction. This poses a risk of IDC strategy trumping the NEF BEE mandate

NEF as division of IDC – NEF ceases to exist and IDC takes over NEF business. IDC suggests that it creates a “targeted mandate” with its own brand. This will result in dilution of the BEE mandate and termination of some of NEF BEE products.

Complete merger into IDC – NEF terminated and IDC fulfils BEE mandate (similar to above option but no separate branding). The focus on BEE as sole mandate falls away.

Project Kopano The NEF and the dti have recommended that the second

option (arms length subsidiary) in the previous slide be implemented.

In this option the NEF remains focussed on B-BBEE and has an opportunity of increasing developmental impact as a result of recapitalisation from IDC.

The board provides guidance to NEF on direction and IDC focusses on its mandate of industrial development.

the dti as custodian of B-BBEE legislation and policy in the country continues to maintain oversight over NEF as implementation agent of such policies

The mandate of the NEF would continue as is, undiluted.

43

Notes: 1. The decline in NEF mainly driven by self imposed funding and headcount moratoriums. The Board’s

targeted range to manage this ratio in long term is 54%-58%.

Invested growth across all provinces

1. As a national Development Finance institution (DFI) the NEF is committed to ensuring that its products and services reach the entire nation.

2. Since the launch of the NEF Asonge Share Scheme in July 2007 the NEF has implemented various measures and interventions to strive towards an even, representative and equitable distribution of its services across the country.

3. As a result, the NEF’s invested presence in Gauteng has come down from above 60% of total disbursed funds in 2006, to 45% by 30 September 2015.

4. This is not as a result of a reduction of funding in Gauteng, but is a direct consequence of planned, targeted and increased funding in the other 8 provinces because they are integral to South Africa's economy, comprising 76% of the population.
