The WAD Healthcare Assets Acquisition

On 1 August 2015 (“effective date”) AfroCentric concluded agreements governing the acquisition of 100% of the WAD healthcare 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 Healthcare Assets 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 seven (2016: five) of South Africa’s nine provinces. The WAD Healthcare Assets 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 Healthcare Assets acquisition was 86.5 million AfroCentric shares as well as 26.2 million contingent shares being the maximum number of AfroCentric shares that management believed would be issued due to the attainment of certain profit levels in Glen Eden Trading 58 Proprietary Limited in the foreseeable future. In the current financial year the profit levels have been exceeded and the number of contingent shares has increased to 31.366 million. WAD Holdings Proprietary Limited has now elected to receive the contingent consideration in cash and not shares.

The WAD Healthcare Assets 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.

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.
2 Under the contingent consideration arrangement, AfroCentric Investment Corporation Limited was 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 was the estimated fair value of this obligation at June 2016 year-end.
  During the current year based on the profits reached, the number of shares is now 31 366 977 and the fair value is R194.4 million. WAD Holdings Proprietary Limited has now elected to receive the contingent consideration in cash and not shares. If the share price increased by 10% the contingent consideration would decrease by R19.4 million in profit and loss and if the share price decreased by 10% the contingent consideration would increase by R19.4 million in profit and loss. Refer to Note 9.8 for further details.
