KEY INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY 1.5 FUNDING REQUIRMENTS

Anzania's financial projections demonstrate a strong trajectory of growth and profitability. Revenue is anticipated to increase steadily, from zero in 2025 surging to $2.15 million by 2029. Net revenue will closely follow this trend, starting at $261,175 in 2026 and reaching $2.01 million by 2029, reflecting a healthy profit margin after accounting for direct costs.

A significant milestone is the projected positive EBITDA in 2027, reaching $530,652 and climbing to $1.49 million by 2029. This indicates a positive cash flow trend, signaling the project's growing financial strength.

Free Cash Flow is also expected to improve dramatically, jumping from a negative $512K in 2025 to a positive $1.13 million in 2029. This positive cash flow trend demonstrates Anzania's ability to generate cash and fund future growth.

The shareholder continues to inject capital into the business, showing key support for Anzania; we are all fully committed and directly tied to its success.

We expect to raise this funding in 2 tranches - in April 2025 (once we start major capital expenditures), and again in August 2025 to continue operations and further capital outlays. We have positioned this investment in 2 tranches to reduce risk to the investors, while showing progress along the way.

The overall project is projected to generate a return of 39% IRR, although the financial model presented is fully dynamic so one can review key assumptions and stress test any and all figures The 2 financial return scenarios presented below for investors range in returns from 31% (ongoing cash interest payments) to 46% (convertible note).

UTREACH PROGRAM

2.1 MARKET OPPORTUNITY

From 2020 to 2023, Anzania undertook a comprehensive market assessment, scrutinising the pricing, availability, and visitor numbers within Kenya's leisure market. This analysis also included an evaluation and comparison of relevant international offerings.

Our extensive research underscores a market gap for high-quality, family-oriented leisure activities catering to both local audiences and tourists. Nairobi currently lacks sufficient family-friendly options, and our data reveals a willingness among people to pay for activities and experiences

Nairobi's leisure market presents a clear opportunity for engaging, family-centric experiences. While the global market offers a variety of cultural and leisure options, Kenya and East Africa do not offer many dedicated children's activities Anzania aims to fill this gap by providing a vibrant location where families can explore, play, and learn together. Our unique blend of educational and recreational offerings will transform Nairobi into a hub for family-oriented cultural and educational adventures.

Anzania recognizes the opportunity to upgrade the Nairobi leisure scene by introducing an unparalleled blend of 'fun and action' that is integrated with 'educational and environmental content.'

Kenya’s culture and heritage sites received a total of 856,604 visitors in 2022 and the National Museum in Nairobi received 275.000 visitors in 2023. The Nairobi Arboretum Forest, is currently recording 25.000 visitors monthly while Karura forest has 70.000 visitors each month.

Understanding our core market

Families and children represent a large market segment in Kenya, especially in and around Nairobi. Not only are 40% of Kenyans under the age of 14, but also Kenya has a large and growing middle class, with a strong appetite for leisure activities. There remains a largely untapped market segment with huge potential for leisure activities.

Kenyans are becoming more aware about their environment and many indicators show that conservation and environmental protection will be central to the post Covid-19 global economy.

Beyond Kenyan citizens and residents, international visitors and tourists represent a significant target market for Kenya's growing leisure sector. Renowned for its diverse national parks teeming with wildlife and its well-developed coastal region, Kenya is a major international tourist destination. The Kenyan travel sector has demonstrated remarkable resilience, recovering up to 90% from the impacts of Covid-19. In 2022, the country welcomed close to 1.5 million visitors, generating USD 1.9 billion for the Kenyan economy

The top two visit purposes are holidays (37%) and visiting friends and family (28%). Official tourism data does not disaggregate visitor numbers by age groups. But classified as ‘ one of the most accessible countries in Africa’, it can be assumed that family travel makes up a considerable part of Kenya’s visitor numbers.

The vast majority of visitors arrives by air at Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), which is less than 20 minutes drive from Anzania.

NUMBER OF FOREIGN TOURIST, MEASURED AND PROJECTED

In Kenya, a common pricing structure involves tiered rates for citizens, residents, and visitors, adopted by many leisure destinations. This tiered system allows us to generate a significant portion of our revenue from foreign visitors, even though they may not constitute the majority of our visitors.

By year three, we estimate that on average 26% of our visitors will be foreigners, representing 33% of ticket sales revenues, emphasising the lucrative potential in catering to the international tourist segment.

Kenya’s National Tourism Strategy

Anzania’s vision aligns with the Kenyan National Tourism Strategy, the Machakos County Development plan, and reinforces many of the objectives of the Ministry of Environment Climate Change Policy as well as the Ministry of Education learning targets These strategic alignments demonstrate Anzania's commitment to supporting Kenya's objectives in sustainability leadership.

Kenya's Tourism Strategy outlines a comprehensive plan to position the country as a premier destination and attract a diverse range of audiences. At the heart of this strategy is a commitment to sustainable tourism practices, emphasising conservation efforts to protect the country's rich biodiversity and cultural heritage. Kenya aims to enhance its global image by focusing on responsible and eco-friendly tourism, appealing to environmentally conscious travellers.

To attract new and diverse audiences, Kenya is aiming to diversify its tourism offerings beyond traditional wildlife safaris The strategy emphasises the development of niche tourism products, including adventure tourism, cultural experiences, and beach destinations.

To revitalise Kenya's tourism sector, the government introduced the New Tourism Strategy for Kenya 2021-2025. This comprehensive plan aims to transform the industry by extending tourism beyond the traditional peak seasons, diversifying offerings to cater to a wider audience, and rebranding Kenya as a sustainable destination.

By implementing these strategic shifts, the government seeks to position Kenya as a year-round tourist hotspot, known for its diverse experiences and commitment to environmental conservation.

Anzania aligns seamlessly with all of these strategic objectives.

Location

The Swara Plains Conservancy is located approximately 35 km southeast of Nairobi, along the Mombasa highway and spans 20,000 acres. It is famous for its natural beauty and wildlife, featuring vast African savannah grasslands, striking yellow bark Acacia trees, abundant freeroaming game such as wildebeest and giraffe, and a rich bird population of around 320 species.

Swara Plains is formally registered as a wildlife Conservancy. In 2020, it was partially integrated with the Nairobi National Park (NNP), solidifying its significance in protecting and preservin ecological treasures. I

This is recognised by Kenya’sVision 2030 through whi as one of the 5 vital migratory corridors of kenya and highly protected status. Anzania’s location inside a wi area, echoes our connection to nature and our dedicat preservation.

Quarries are everywhere, the construction industry’s insatiable need for sand, gravel, and stone for roads, buildings, and landscaping keeps the extraction industry constantly digging holes in the ground and taking huge bites out of landscapes. Once extraction ceases, these sites often become forgotten industrial scars.

However, in recent years, a growing recognition of their potential has led to a surge in quarry redevelopment projects. By transforming these underutilised spaces into vibrant community assets, cities and towns can revitalise neighbourhoods, boost local economies, and enhance quality of life. These redeveloped quarries offer a unique opportunity to create sustainable and engaging public spaces, as with Anzania

The journey to revitalise the degraded quarry into a thriving eco park is a detailed and methodical process. By introducing nutrient-rich soil, implementing advanced irrigation systems, and strategically planting thousands of trees and plants, we will transform the barren site into a thriving ecosystem.

Meticulous landscaping and careful planning will ensure the creation of a visually stunning and ecologically balanced space. As the park matures, the landscape will evolve, offering visitors an ever-changing and beautiful experience.

Our food court model will provide a platform for local entrepreneurs to showcase their culinary talents. Vendors will operate their businesses within these pre-designed container units, paying a service charge to Anzania and sharing a portion of their revenue. This collaborative approach will stimulate the local market and offer opportunities for aspiring food entrepreneurs.

The food court will be designed to provide a relaxing and informal dining experience for families and visitors of all ages. With shaded seating areas integrated throughout the park, customers can enjoy their meals in a comfortable and scenic setting.

Our focus will be on offering high-quality, healthy food at reasonable prices.

Kenyan Family Market

Nairobi is currently witnessing an increase in its urban middle-class population as economic opportunities expand. This shift is characterised by improved income levels and increased purchasing power among residents, reshaping consumer behaviour and preferences.

In 2022, Kenya's personal disposable income hit a record high of over KES 12,000 billion, a 12% increase from the previous year. This rise is driven by a burgeoning population and an expanding middle-class with greater purchasing power, posing notable environmental and social challenges

International tourists

Foreign tourists are an important target audience for A Kenya welcomed over 2 million international visitors, w percentage coming for tourism According to the Kenya projections indicate a noteworthy surge, with expectati million international tourists by 2030

Professional groups & organisations

Anzania aspires to become the go-to location for company conferences and outings with an environmental theme, positioning itself as the eco hub of East Africa. This vision extends to targeting local companies and employers as a key market for conferencing and event spaces, with a specific focus on organisations exhibiting a strong environmental or impact focus.

If Anzania were to welcome only 5% of these foreign tourists, they would account for 200.000 visitors by 2030. This market segment holds significant importance, particularly during peak travel seasons such as Christmas, Easter, and June-August. The majority of international tourists arrive in Nairobi, often planning 1-2 days to explore city attractions before or after travelling onward for safari or coastal adventures

Our accommodation facilities (phase 2) strategically target this tourist demographic, with a focus on mid-market family holidaymakers.

Nairobi, home to international organisations such as the UNEP headquarters and a high number of impact-focused businesses and environmental NGOs, provides an ideal setting for Anzania to serve as a premier destination for eco-conscious professional groups and organisations

Schools

According to the 2014 school census, there were approximately 4,000 primary schools in the Nairobi metropolitan area, serving a student population of over 1.4 million children aged 6-14. While more recent data is unavailable, it is reasonable to assume that this number has grown significantly over the past decade.

Despite the demand for engaging educational experiences, current school trip options in Nairobi are limited and often repetitive. Anzania aims to differentiate itself by offering a high-quality, enjoyable, learning ary school itineraries.

3.2 MARKET ASSESMENT & VISITOR PROJECTIONS

Our projections for visitor numbers draw insights from an array of sources. We have compared visitor statistics from attractions such as KWS Safari Walk and National Parks, the National Museum of Kenya, and Karura Forest, utilising reports from Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) and Kenya Forest Service (KFS)

Additionally, we considered data gathered from various privately operated attractions in the city, including ziplining, attraction parks, water parks, go-karting, among others

Estimating our trajectory, we anticipate attracting approximately 635 children a day on weekends by the second year of operations. This forecast translates to an impressive 130 000 visitors by year 4

Our projections reflect a continuous rise in visitor numbers, aligning with the growth of our experience, capacity, and reputation.

Disposable income

Disposable income in Kenya has steadily increased, reaching a record high of KSh12.45 trillion in 2022. This upward trend is particularly evident in urban centres like Nairobi, where a 2021 survey revealed a significant population of approximately 360,000 individuals earning over KSh100,000 per month.

While the national per capita spending on culture and recreation is estimated at US$31.50, it's important to note that this figure may not accurately reflect spending patterns in urban areas with higher disposable incomes, such as Nairobi.

Given the concentration of wealth and a growing appetite for leisure activities in these regions, there is a substantial opportunity for businesses like Anzania to capture a significant share of this market.

This growing middle class with substantial disposable income represents a key target market for businesses like Anzania. With a projected household disposable income of KSh13.13 trillion in 2024, there is considerable potential for increased consumer spending on leisure and entertainment.

Car ownership as an indicator

Car ownership in Kenya is a key indicator of economic growth, urbanisation, and (disposable) income. While the overall rate remains relatively low compared to the Global North, the steady increase in car ownership reflects a burgeoning middle class with growing purchasing power.

Notably, 7.7% of Kenyans own cars, translating to approximately 3.9 million car owners nationwide. This statistic, coupled with the higher car ownership rate in urban centers like Nairobi, underscores the potential market for leisure and entertainment activities like Anzania. As disposable income rises, consumers are increasingly seeking out quality recreational experiences, making car ownership a relevant metric for assessing the market for family-oriented entertainment destinations

Specifically, in Nairobi, with a population of nearly 5 million, approximately 15% of households own cars, equating to around 750,000 car-owning households. This concentration of car ownership in the city highlights the potential customer base for Anzania.

Population & distance as indicator

Anzania's location within the Swara Plains Conservancy offers unparalleled accessibility to Nairobi's affluent demographics. While areas such as Westlands, Lavington, Kilimani, Kileleshwa, Muthaiga, and Gigiri have historically housed high-income residents, the construction of the expressway has significantly improved connectivity to these neighborhoods

Anzania is located within a 30-minute drive for 2 8 million people Within a 45-minute radius, this figure expands to cover 54% of the metropolitan area, reaching 9.4 million potential visitors. Expanding the catchment area to a 60-minute drive includes an additional 7.8 million people, bringing the total accessible population to approximately 17 million.

Moreover, the rapid growth of residential areas along the Syokimau and Athi River corridor has created a new market segment of middle-class families with increasing disposable income.

This demographic is particularly attractive due to its proximity to Anzania, allowing for more frequent visits compared to those residing further away.

Considering the data that demonstrated 15% car ownership our potential market of car owners that can reach Anzania in under an hour is approximately 2.5 million. This prime location, coupled with the growing affluence of surrounding neighbourhoods, positions Anzania as an exceptional opportunity to capture a significant share of the leisure and entertainment market.

The journey to revitalise the degr thriving Eco Park is a meticulous process, inc replenish the barren land, implementing com systems to sustainably nurture plant life, and diverse array of vegetation.

Anzania’s transformation of this neglected ar Park will showcase the resilience of nature, a message of hope.

Site Development

Anzania conducted extensive site assessment and development activities in 2023 and 024 to lay the groundwork for restoration and development.

Multiple topographical surveys were undertaken to assess the site's terrain and identify suitable areas for restoration.

Site planning surveys were conducted to determine the most effective use of the land, considering factors such as accessibility, infrastructure, and environmental constraints

Development Plan

Anzania's development plan for the quarry is divided into three distinct sections. The implementation of these sections may be phased or partially simultaneous, depending on planning approvals and funding.

In the initial phase, we will focus on restoring approximately 10 acres of the quarry. Led by our non-profit arm, this restoration will transform the area into a beautiful garden space, complete with botanical gardens, pathways, and areas for leisurely walks.

The second phase will involve developing the Eco Park and leisure facilities, including our playgrounds and a food court. The remaining 15 acres will be left unrestored to showcase the contrast between the natural landscape and the revitalised areas. This approach will provide visitors with a unique perspective and highlight the effectiveness of our restoration efforts. The unrestored section can also be utilised for recreational activities like biking until future development phases are realised.

We do this by creating narratives that connect employees and stakeholders to Anzania’s mission, values and ESG strategies.

4.4 CONSTRUCTION PLAN

RIBA stages

The project is following the standard RIBA Plan of Work methodology and, to date, we have prtially completed Stage 1 “Preparation and Briefing” stage, whereby the project outcomes and spatial requirements are completed alongside the project budget and a timeline for the project.

Project Manager

Managing a project such as Anzania requires the right mix of experience, specialist knowledge and attention to detail. Anzania intends to engage an experienced Project Manager who has managed larger projects on time and on budget.

Construction Contractors

Once Stage 3 (Developed Design) is complete, the process to appoint construction partners will begin to gather initial proposals from local groundworks and civil engineering firms. This will help to determine a more accurate costing quotation for funding purposes, before going to a full tender process, once funding is secured.

Management Contracting

In order to minimise the overall cost and ensure full control of the project, the Eco PArk will be constructed using the Management Contracting Procurement methodology The design team appointments will remain direct with Anzania Ltd., as will the construction contract.

Landscaping

Anzania will prioritise a natural and immersive experience. By utilising existing landscape features and native plants, we'll create pathways and waterways that blend seamlessly with the environment.

While we have engaged with landscape designers to explore initial concepts, the final selection and implementation will be contingent upon investment. Our goal is to create a landscape that balances ecological beauty with visitor experience and financial considerations

In the initial phase, Anzania will focus on restoring a portion of the quarry, leaving a section unrestored to showcase the contrast between the natural landscape and the revitalised areas. This approach will provide visitors with a unique perspective and highlight the impact of our restoration efforts. The unrestored section can also be utilised for recreational activities, such as biking, until future phases of development are realised.

Construction Schedule

In order to de-risk the project for investors as much as possible, Anzania’s team have reduced the initial capital expenditure by staging certain developments.

The construction plan outlines a 8 months build plan to opening, which includes a 2 week commissioning and testing phase, although we have planned this to be longer to ensure we have excellent operational understanding prior to opening fully to the public.

Capital Expenditure and Phasing

The total capital expenditure for the entire development is estimated at $1.35 million. Ongoing commercial negotiations may enhance the projected payment schedule. We anticipate securing favourable financing arrangements with key suppliers, and initial discussions have been promising. However, finalizing these agreements will require secured funding to maximize negotiating leverage..

5.1 GENERAL RISK FACTORS

5.2 KENYA’S MACROECONOMIC LANDSCAPE

5.3 SUMMARY OPERATING COSTS

5.4 INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY

5.5 FINANCIAL ASSUMPTIONS

5.1 GENERAL RISK FACTORS

Cost Estimates

The costs of construction are based on the latest estimates from our quantity surveyor, partners and suppliers.These may move depending on market prices (including commodity prices and contractor costs), foreign exchange rate fluctuation and as a result of furthe negotiations at the time and finalisation of specifications.

Mitigation: On-going support by well qualified quantity su project manager, together with close management scrutin robust procurement of contract packages for management construction are intended to ensure tight cost managemen construction costing includes a contingency as advised by Surveyor.

Timescale

The construction schedule is based on the estimates by th professional consultants involved, such as the architects, e quantitative surveyors and project manager.There is a risk may be longer or shorter to deliver.

Mitigation: Engagement of experienced Anzania project ma consultant will help deliver the construction phase on time budget. Must have a strong track record of success in this

Land Deal

Land in Athi River has increased in value over recent years, and there have been multiple instances of illegal land grabbing in the area. However, it's crucial to note that our specific land is officially registered and gazetted under Kenyan law as a natural protected area. Operating as a conservancy under a single title with the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), our land is safeguarded against fragmentation or unauthorised acquisition of smaller sections.

This legal framework ensures the integrity and stability of our project site, mitigating potential risks associated with illegal land grabbing.

Operational Considerations

Anzania's operational landscape in Kenya is subject to various factors that may impact our activities. Unforeseen challenges such as changing licence requirements could pose operational hurdles.. Adherence to evolving government rules and regulations is crucial, as changes in compliance standards may affect our operations. These challenges could lead to various consequences, including business interruptions, financial losses, and potential legal obligations. Adverse weather conditions, including the risk of droughts and floods, are considerations for our operations

Mitigation: Recognizing and adapting to these factors are integral to navigating the dynamic operational environment in Kenya effectively, we will employe a internal compliance officer and ensure high level representation on our Board. A solid water management plan will prevent risks from floods and drought.

Business interruption

A major incident, such as a terrorist attack or pandemic outbreak of illness, severe weather or an event in Kenya which impacts Anzania’s systems, key central support functions or information technology systems could affect the Company’s ability to trade and have an adverse impact on its financial performance.

Mitigation: To mitigate the risk of business interruption, Anzania will implement a comprehensive business continuity plan, establish redundant systems, form a crisis management team, obtain insurance, diversify suppliers, and prioritise security measures. These strategies aim to minimise the impact of potential disruptions and ensure the company's continued operations.

The legal status of our land as a recognized natural and protected zone, endorsed by both the lands office and KWS, provides a robust foundation for our project's security. Surrounded by protected conservancy land, the likelihood of encroachment is minimal.

Third Party Risk

The construction process requires the involvement of a number of third parties, including technology, component and material suppliers and contractors. In some cases there may be no readily available alternative to the use of such suppliers. Financial failure, default or contractual non-compliance on the part of such third parties may have a material impact on the construction process, including deliverability, timing and costs. It is not possible for the Company to accurately predict or protect itself against all such risks.

Mitigation: Development of an appropriate security package, contingencies and robust management principles.

Insurance Risk

The Company may, where economically practicable and available, endeavor to mitigate some project and business risks by procuring relevant insurance cover. However, such insurance cover may not always be available or economically justifiable, or the policy provisions and exclusions may render a particular claim by the Company outside the scope of the insurance cover. While the Company will undertake all reasonable due diligence in assessing the creditworthiness of its the risk that an insurer defaults nder its insurance policies.

s or claims arising from on-site liability and third-party help safeguard the company ncidents.

Interface Risk

We intend to adopt a proactive approach to manage potential risks during the construction phase. Our strategy involves the deliberate procurement of a limited number of principal packages, ensuring that each risk aligns with the supplier best equipped to navigate and mitigate it effectively. While robust terms will be integrated into each package, we recognize the possibility of emerging risks that transcend individual packages.

Mitigation: Our intention is to develop a resilient legal contract structure. This framework is designed to minimize interfaces wherever possible, establishing remedies against all suppliers. Specific provisions will be included to address interface management and incorporate appropriate incentives. To bolster this initiative,our management team, supported by an experienced project management consultant, will be in place to proactively oversee and navigate any unforeseen challenges that may arise during the construction phase

5.2 KENYA’S

MACROECONOMIC

LANDSCAPE

Kenya features a diverse and dynamic economic landscape influenced by various factors across political, social, economic, technological, environmental, and legal dimensions.

Kenya's macroeconomic landscape, reveals a nation in tran navigating a complex interplay of factors. While political s economic growth present opportunities, challenges such a unemployment, income inequality, and environmental sust require strategic interventions The technological strides reforms demonstrate a commitment to progress, positioni key player in the East African region.

This PESTEL analysis provides a high level understanding o factors, exploring opportunities and challenges that may in projects’ implementation:

Political Factors:

Kenya has experienced relative political stability in recent fostering an environment conducive to economic growth a investment. The government's commitment to infrastructu development, evidenced by initiatives such as Vision 2030 to the nation's economic resilience However, political tra occasional disputes have the potential to impact stability. The government's policies, particularly related to trade and taxation, play a crucial role in shaping the economic landscape.

Legal Factors:

Social Factors:

The demographic landscape of Kenya is marked by a youthful population, presenting both opportunities and challenges. While a young workforce can be a demographic dividend, it also puts pressure on the education and employment sectors.

Technological Factors:

Kenya has witnessed a technology-driven transformation, particularly in the financial sector with innovations like mobile money (M-Pesa). The government's emphasis on digital infrastructure and innovation has positioned Kenya as a tech hub in the region.

Environmental Factors:

Kenya's economy is intricately connected to its environment, especially in sectors like agriculture and tourism. Climate change poses a threat to agricultural productivity, emphasizing the need for sustainable practices. The nation's commitment to environmental conservation, reflected in initiatives like geothermal energy projects, showcases a growing awareness of the importance of balancing economic development with environmental sustainability

Economic Factors:

The legal framework in Kenya plays a crucial role in shaping business operations and foreign investments. The country's commitment to legal reforms, as seen in initiatives like the ease of doing business reforms, enhances the business environment. However, challenges such as corruption and bureaucratic hurdles persist, necessitating ongoing efforts to improve the legal landscape.

Kenya has sustained steady economic growth, driven by sectors like agriculture, services, and a burgeoning technology industry. The country's diversified economy acts as a buffer against external shocks. Key economic indicators, including GDP growth rates and inflation, demonstrate positive trends. However, challenges such as unemployment and income inequality persist, requiring strategic economic policies to address them. Additionally, Kenya's reliance on a few key sectors makes it susceptible to fluctuations in global commodity prices.

5.3 SUMMARY OPERATING COSTS

There are a number of other key operating costs and resources that need to be managed when the facility opens. A detailed breakdown of projected direct costs and overheads has been set out in the financial model and can be seen in Appendix . The key areas are as follows;

Maintenance

Anzania will require comprehensive maintenance across the site, including buildings, playgrounds, landscaping, and other areas. Given the outdoor nature of our structures, weather-related maintenance will be a significant factor. We also anticipate breakages due to children's activities, particularly in playground areas.

Anzania's structures primarily utilize wood-based materials or bamboo, with some steel elements incorporated. This design approach prioritizes durability and safety, considering potential breakages and of our young visitors.

5.4 INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY

Anzania requires a total investment of $2 million (250 million Kenya Shillings) to realize its vision.

This investment is expected to yield a substantial return, with a projected Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 39% for the entire project.

For our investors, we anticipate generating a 25% return over the next 5-6 years. This attractive return demonstrates the project's strong investment potential.

We aim to finalize the fundraising process by the second quarter of 2025. This timeline will ensure that Anzania has the necessary financial resources to move forward with construction and operations.

Financial Return Scenarios

We are presenting 2 potential return scenarios for an investor to come in at this stage: 1) convertible note converting at Year 4, and 2) ongoing cash interest payments

Convertible Note

In this scenario, the investor invests with a 7.0% coupon rate that is paid monthly for 2 years, and converts into equity either directly, or in subsequent years (assumed here year 5) through an exit or further financing.

With this convertible note plan, the investor earns a 7% interest rate at the onset, and then an equity value at year 4. In our model, given the assumptions (which are dynamic in the model to test) of:

Interest rate: 7%

Company value at year 4: $10 million

Shares the investor receives: 20%

The investor would receive a return of 46% (note the equity value at year 4 is non-cash).

Ongoing Cash Interest Payments

In this scenario, the investor receives a set cash interest payment that is agreed upon at the onset of the loan with amortisation determined beforehand In our example, we have assumed an initial investment of $1 million dollars, and interest and principal payments of 5,000,000 KES (approx. $38,500) monthly for a set period of time. In our model, we have estimated 13 months with no payment (to allow the business to generate revenue and cash reserves), and start payments on the 14th month and continue for 69 subsequent months until June 2032. The investor would receive a return of 31% (note this is all cash on cash return for the investor).

We aim to finalise the fundraising process by the second quarter of 2025. This timeline will ensure that Anzania has the necessary financial resources to move forward with construction and operations.

Existing Funding

Anzania has successfully raised $700,000 to date through a combination of management investment, early-stage investors, and family and friends. These funds have been utilised to secure the land and cover initial setup and design costs.

Exit Strategy:

While the management team is committed to Anzania's long term success, we recognise the importance of provid viable exit strategy Once the operating model proven, we anticipate offering multiple exit op

These exit strategies demonstrate our commitm investors with a clear path to realise their retu Anzania's continued growth and development.

Exit Valuation

The value of the shares for an investor would depend on the exit valuation in the market at the time of the sale/larger-scale financing. At the above scenario for an investor for the convertible note, their investment would be 46% given a $10 million valuation at the point in time.

Given the multiples in the market, an EBITDA multiple of 5-10x would provide the investor with a return defined below. Given the assumptions in the model, we are projecting an EBITDA of approximately 240 million KES (which is approximately $1.85 million), this gives us a valuation of $9.25 million to $18.5 million.

Colliers International Destination Consulting assumes a 8 3x EBITDA ( multiple has been tested against relevant transactions by sure private equity group (who may provide an exit he opportunity and discussion for an equity investment which would provide a valuable exit opportunity and stment for the investor.

ith our sustainability strategy and dedication to making ct, we have incorporated elements of stewardship governance at a strategic level. This involves allocating 5% of share options, non-dilutable to our sister company, Anzania CLG.

The remaining shares are currently under the ownership of the project's founder and will undergo dilution based on investment levels among shareholder investors up to a level that maintains ownership control for the founder.

Due Diligence

In preparation for detailed discussions with investors, we have all relevant legal, financial, commercial and technical information to support a proper due diligence process.

5.5 FINANCIAL ASSUMPTIONS

Headline Assumptions used in the Financial Model

This is intended to highlight some of the main assumptions that we have used in the model. This should not be viewed as an exhaustive list.

To understand all assumptions used, the financial model will be available for investors to review on request.

Construction assumptions

We have taken the assumptions for construction and land preparation from experts in the field.

Operational Assumptions

Key Drivers

We have used various assumptions as drivers for the usage, prices and economics of each revenue segment to determine the total costs and revenue independently.

Variable Expenses

To determine the profitability of each revenue stream, we have used the operational expenses directly attributable to those activities as variable expenses for the purposes of determining the gr

CAPEX and Depreciation

We have assumed that the useful life and the tax deducti depreciation align for our capital expenditures for ease o although those assumptions can be updated dynamically

Key Assumptions

We have taken weekday and weekends into account by applying a 50/50 or 70/30 breakdown and made the weekday assumption dynamic across various revenue segments (citizen/resident/tourist, morning/midday/afternoon, etc.) in order to estimate weekend figures and totaled to generate the respective revenue.

Food and Beverage

Given the potential for partnerships, we have assumed topline revenue figures for the various food and beverage providers and then chosen a royalty rate to apply to the various partners. This, in addition to the upfront costs required to set up the food and beverage capability, gives us an itemised and separate review of this revenue segmen.

Currencies
