This business plan (the “Plan”) has been prepared by the directors of BlueCape Aquaculture Holdings (Pty) Ltd (“BlueCape” or the “Company”) solely for the purpose of providing prospective lenders, development finance institutions and equity investors with preliminary information to assist them in evaluating a potential financing of the Company’s vertically integrated aquaculture and seafood export venture. It does not constitute an offer, invitation or solicitation to subscribe for or purchase any securities.

The financial projections contained in this Plan preserve the sponsor’s headline revenue and EBITDA estimates. All line items below EBITDA, depreciation, financing costs, taxation and distributable earnings, have been independently re-derived by the analyst on a transparent, first-principles basis under prevailing South African tax legislation. Where the analyst’s re-derived figures differ materially from the sponsor’s original estimates, those differences are disclosed openly within the relevant sections rather than reconciled away.

Forward-looking statements reflect assumptions about future events that are inherently uncertain. Actual results may differ materially from those projected. The abalone aquaculture sector is subject to biological, environmental, market-price, foreign-exchange and regulatory risks that are described in the risk analysis section. Recipients should conduct their own independent due diligence and obtain their own professional, legal, tax and financial advice before making any investment decision.

By accepting this Plan, the recipient agrees to keep its contents confidential, to use it solely for the purpose of evaluating the proposed transaction, and to return or destroy it upon request. No part of this Plan may be reproduced or distributed without the prior written consent of the Company.
