2.1 Corporate Identity

Vantor Mobility Group (Pty) Ltd is a private company incorporated in
the Republic of South Africa, with its registered office and group head

consolidating financial control, brand, technology, and procurement at
group level.

2.2 Founding Vision

VMG was founded on the conviction that Africa’s intercity transport
market — currently fragmented, informal, and operationally sub-scale —
represents one of the continent’s clearest consolidation opportunities.
The founding team identified that previous attempts to scale intercity
coach operators in Africa stalled because they treated coaches as a
stand-alone product. The VMG thesis is the opposite: coaches are the
physical layer, but the durable economic moats are network density,
brand trust, digital distribution, and the parcel-logistics overlay.

The Company’s mission statement is: To make safe, affordable, on-time
intercity mobility the default choice for every African traveller and
shipper. The vision is: To operate the most-trusted scheduled passenger
and parcel network on the African continent by 2032.

2.3 Founding Team Profile

The founding team combines transport, technology, and capital-markets
experience, with prior operating exposure to bus, rail, logistics, and
asset-finance businesses on the African continent. The composition
reflects the four pillars of the business — operations, commercial,
technology, and finance — and is designed to be bankable for
institutional investors.

2.4 Governance & Board

VMG will be governed by a nine-member Board of Directors comprising
the Group CEO, the Group CFO, four independent non-executive directors
with relevant transport, finance, or pan-African operating credentials,
and three nominee directors representing Series A institutional
investors. Board committees will include Audit & Risk, Remuneration
& Nominations, Investment & Capital, and Sustainability &
Safety. The Company is committed from inception to King IV-aligned
corporate-governance standards.

A separate Executive Committee chaired by the Group CEO will
discharge day-to-day management responsibilities and report to the Board
on a monthly basis. Country-level Managing Directors will report to the
Group COO via a regional structure as the network expands beyond South
Africa.

2.5 Shareholder Structure at Close

The proposed shareholder structure at the close of the Series A
funding round is summarised below. The structure is designed to preserve
incentive alignment with the founding team while providing institutional
investors with appropriate governance rights, including board
representation, reserved-matter consents, and pre-emption rights.
