Background to our shareholding structure:

In 2006 AfroCentric embarked on a restructuring and recapitalisation programme.

At that time, two beneficiaries, which represented a broad base of historically disadvantaged South Africans (“HDSAs”), were invited to participate via the formation of the AfroCentric Empowerment Trust (“ACET”). As part of the recapitalisation programme, ACET acquired 51% of the AfroCentric ordinary share capital.

The two beneficiaries of ACET are the South African Council of Churches and the Fort Hare Foundation. Both of these institutions play a pivotal role in the transformation of
our country.

Our largest shareholders are Community Investment Holdings, the ACET and Golden Pond. They represent the membership of the South African Medical and Dental Practitioners Association, medical professionals who are substantial HDSAs or of HDSA parentage.
