THE WAD ACQUISITION
On 1 August 2015 (“effective date”) AfroCentric concluded agreements governing the acquisition of 100% of the WAD Assets, being Pharmacy Direct (Proprietary) Limited, Curasana Wholesaler (Proprietary) Limited and Glen Eden Trading 58 (Proprietary) Limited, from WAD Holdings (Proprietary) Limited, hereafter referred to as the WAD Acquisition. The principal enterprise, being Pharmacy Direct (Proprietary) Limited, is a designated service provider to a wide range of South African medical aid schemes. The business supplies chronic medication under Prescribed Minimum Benefits and normal chronic benefits to approximately 110 000 patients nationally. Pharmacy Direct was awarded a tender in terms of which chronic medication is dispensed on behalf of Government to districts in five of South Africa’s nine provinces. The WAD Acquisition has instilled positive synergies to the Group’s general value proposition for all stakeholders, adding scale, enhancing marketing and distribution channels and positively positioning the Group for accelerated growth. The purchase consideration for the WAD Acquisition is 86.5 million AfroCentric shares as well as 26.2 million contingent shares being the maximum number of AfroCentric shares that management believe will be issued due to the attainment of certain profit levels in Glen Eden Trading 58 (Proprietary) Limited in the foreseeable future.

The WAD acquisition was accounted for using the purchase price method of accounting, which requires that the assets and liabilities of Pharmacy Direct (Proprietary) Limited, Curasana Wholesaler (Proprietary) Limited and Glen Eden Trading 58 (Proprietary) Limited be measured at fair value as at 1 August 2015.

No of shares (millions) Share price (R)   Total Value  
Share issue for Pharmacy Direct (Proprietary) Limited and Curasana Wholesaler (Proprietary) Limited (tranche 1)¹ 5.15³   347 136

Note 1: In the case of Curasana Wholesaler (Proprietary) Limited and Pharmacy Direct (Proprietary) Limited it is management’s view that certain government contracts will not be achieved by these entities hence additional shares will not be issued, apart from the shares that were already issued in tranche 1.
Note 2: Under the contingent consideration arrangement, AfroCentric Investment Corporation Limited is required to issue Glen Eden Trading 58 (Proprietary) Limited an additional 26 192 902 shares based on management’s best estimate as per the Acquisition of shares agreement. R134.9 million is the estimated fair value of this obligation at year-end. If an average growth rate of 4% were used the contingent consideration would decrease by R2.596 million in profit and loss. If an average growth rate of 6% were used the contingent consideration would increase by R2.630 million in profit and loss. If expected cash flows were 10% higher or lower, the fair value would increase/decrease by R13.489 million. Refer to Note 9.10 for further details.
Note 3: This is the AfroCentric Investment Corporation Limited share price as at the effective date.
