Summary
• ICP Africa Infrastructure Limited (“ICP” or the “Company”), a private
entity incorporated in Mauritius, has been established to invest in
infrastructure opportunities in Africa with an initial focus towards
southern and eastern Africa.
• The objective of the Company is to provide an attractive weighted
average equity IRR, with a target in excess of 25%, from investing in a
diversified portfolio of Africa infrastructure assets where the Company has
been able to substantially mitigate risk.
• The Company’s funds and investments will be managed by Infinity Capital
Managers Ltd, an investment management company incorporated in the
BVI.
• The investment strategy involves participation in innovative Infrastructure
projects principally under US$100 million alongside local partners that
have “green and social” credentials, which provide long term solutions
for the benefit of the local communities.
• The Investment Manager has already identified and in some cases secured
a diversified portfolio of four such opportunities that fit its investment
criteria and potentially offer investors attractive risk-reward profiles.
• The Company and Investment Manager combined have an experienced
management team, with a proven track record of successfully delivering
and executing commercial infrastructure opportunities in Africa and have
established an invaluable local network.
• The Company is placing new Ordinary Shares to raise in total up to
US$200 million (before fees and expenses) with the net proceeds intended
to be committed promptly towards investing in the pipeline of identified
projects. A first closing of around US$50 million for projects that have
been identified or secured and require immediate funding (see below) is
currently being discussed with a limited number of investors.
• Investors will also be given co-investment rights at the project level at the
discretion of the Investment Manager. The exit strategy for the projects will
follow a BOT (“Build, Operate and Transfer”) model based on agreements
with the regional Governments.
• The pipeline projects are at different stages of development with the most
advanced being the Kasumbalesa Border project in Zambia (highlights

below). Our border control projects require equity funding of $30m with an
immediate equity drawdown required of US$6-8 million for Kasumbalesa.
Other projects under discussion and requiring additional equity funding will
be presented to parties who have potential interest in participating.

• The project carries very strong support from the Zambian government enabling
increased revenue to the Government through the collection of custom duties relating to
the weight of goods and border control fees.
• Ability to monitor people entering into the country improving security.
• Assets to be returned to the government at the end of the concession period, and the
Government to receive 15% share of dividends after 12 years.
• Improved traffic flow throughout the region for the benefits of all regional countries.
• Shortening the crossing time to the standards as set out by the SADC Protocol of
Transport.
• Shorter transit times for the truck haulier companies thus better fleet utilization ratio.
• Access to improved facilities including restaurants, duty free, coffee shops, etc for
the terminal users.
• Approximately 1,400 jobs created.
• A social fund to be created to fund projects such as schools, hospitals and
dispensaries.
Investment Structure
ICP has signed an MOU with Africa Renaissance Border Crossing Company (ARBCC) to set up
a Zambian SPV company which will hold the concession license and own the rights to the
project and land. ARBCC comprises a project management team with combined regional
experience of more than 10 years in managing and executing infrastructure projects in
Southern, West and Central Africa.
ICP’s local partner will be ARBCC and they will be led by:

Investment Case
• The African infrastructure market is emerging as an attractive alternative asset class,
which is supported by several strong economic and political drivers.
• The Kasumbalesa border development has the full backing of the Zambian
government, which enables risks to be mitigated from day one.
• The project has the capability to be replicated across other borders in Zambia as well
as in other neighbouring countries, thereby allowing investors to participate in future
projects. The ability to replicate and scale will further create unique exit opportunities for
existing investors as new investors look to participate.
• A strong project management team combined with the integrity and know-how of ICP
will give confidence that the investment is transparent and regularly monitored.
• An attractive IRR in excess of 25% and a payback period of 4 years based on
conservative assumptions.
