Executive Summary
Executive Summary
With many developed markets struggling and many eyes focused on Africa we believe one of the key growth areas will be the growth of the Debt Capital Market. This will complement any existing bank funding with the capital market offering disintermediation of the banking market.
The Benefits of a DMTN Programme and Private Placements
The Bond market typically offers longer duration than bank funding
Fewer financial covenants giving more flexibility to the issuer to raise funding
Legal documentation is standardised and can be reused on a regular basis. These programmes can be listed or non-listed allowing for private placements with specific Asset Managers and Pension Funds
Different notes can be issued under one single legal document being the Domestic Medium Term Note Programme(“DMTN”) giving standard terms and conditions
Bespoke bonds can be arranged to allow either an issuer or investor to make specific requirements achievable under one set of documents

Other Considerations
Floating rate preferred Banks do not hold
corporate bonds on their books, hence it is likely that the issue will be marketed to the 8 major asset managers in the market.
Investor preference is for bond proceeds to be utilized locally in the Botswana economy.
Pension sector reforms are well underway, such that there is expected to be increased appetite for local currency corporate bonds across a variety of institutional fund managers (with less over-reliance on SSNIT, the government-backed social security fund)
Preference for fixed rate
Market tends to be quite selective on credits
Asset managers tend to prefer longer tenors (can consider 5 to 10 years)
Market influenced to a great extent by funds managers and banks
5 years is the sweet-spot and the most liquid part of the long-end of the curve
7 years is less liquid
Market preference is for fixed rate issuance but FRN is possible
Investor preference is for bond proceeds to be utilized locally in the Tanzanian economy.
No preference for fixed or floating rate issues as market is liquidity driven. Great focus is on the quality of the credit and the market tends to be quite selective
Asset Managers prefer longer tenors (5 – 10 years)
Market influenced to a great extent by Fund Managers and provident funds
No preference for fixed or floating rate issues as the market is liquidity driven. Focus is on the quality of the credit and the market tends to be quite selective
Listing on JSE is mandatory
Vostro-style account must be opened for duration of the listing with an Authorized Dealer
SA market does not see significant volatility in credit spreads
Steady increase in inward listed bonds by foreign issuers seen since the first one in 2006.

DCM Targets with Advantages and Considerations
Source: xxxxxz
• Any private or listed company that has existing debt or requires debt for growth• Disclosure requirements can be handled sensitively by Non Disclosure Agreements
• Smallest debt raising is about USD 10 million in the respective local currency• Set up costs have to make economic sense
• Maximum debt raising is limited to the capacity of the borrowing company and the local market investment restraints• Reasonably sound companies with at least a 3 year audited financial track record. A profit is preferable • Some Key ratios:
Debt/Equity: 50 to 90%Debt cover: < 4XDebt/EBITDA: ≤2.5XLoan / Value: 70 to 80%
• Alternative source of funding• Short Commercial Paper is achievable, from 3 months longer dated bonds up to 10 years for highly rated corporate
companies and 30 years for Governments• Competitive pricing with Investors not required to hold capital or reserving costs• Standardisation of documentation that can be reused more frequently by using a Medium Term Note Programme
• Stand alone documentation is acceptable to investors• Private placement is possible• Public listing is possible
• Setting up costs can be high but can be amortised over the life of the bond and programme• Issuer disclosure section can be time consuming and may be problematic for private coys• Set up process can be time consuming – up to 10 weeks but will always depend on the intricacy of the deal and country

Rules & Regulations
Source: xxxxxz
In South Africa• Regulation 28 of the Pension Fund Act controls the reporting and compliance obligation on trustees of
retirement funds that include the kind of asset the fund manager can buy, using the look through principle. Preventing over exposure to lowly rated and risky assets
• Exchange control restricts the percentage of foreign assets the fund manager may hold. Retirement funds and long term insurance = 25% of AUM and for the Collective investment scheme (unit trusts) = 35% of AUM
• Collective Investment Scheme Act regulates the investor that manages unit trust investments• Inward listing of a foreign entity may enter the SA market and use proceeds anywhere in the world,
conditional of Surveillance approval at the SARB (EXCON)• No trustee required for normal corporate bond issue, Trustee is required for a securitisation & SPV
structures• JSE is the regulator for listed bonds – non required for private placements• Companies Act restrict non-listed entities from listing bonds on JSE
Rest of Africa• Require trustees to look after interest of the note holder• Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) or equivalent is the bond market regulator for listed and
unlisted bonds – this is a tedious, timeous exercise but required if targeting a large pool of investors• Listing via the Stock exchange is subsequent to the SEC approval but not required for a Private
Placement

In Focus: Domestic Medium Term Notes Programmes
What is Domestic Medium Term Note
Programme?
A Domestic Medium Term Note (“DMTN”) programme offers flexibility. If a company planned to only issue a single one off transaction without any real likelihood of future issuance, then a standalone transaction would be optimal. However, if your company plans to issue more frequently than once every 2-3 years, then the MTN Programme offers significant cost savings.
Why a MTN Programme?
The programme allows a wide variety of tenors, amounts (and potentially even currencies) so that issuance can be designed to suit your requirements at the time.
Structurally various issues can be undertaken from the same programme, for instance both secured, unsecured and guaranteed issuances can all be undertaken using the same basic documentation and the same basic disclosure.
Cost Advantages
The programme uses one base set of documentation and a standard set of disclosure information which provides cost savings as: Legal fees for the initial issuance under the DMTN Programme are only minimally above those of a single issue transaction,
however legal expenditures are considerably reduced at the time of each subsequent issue following the debut tranche The documentation is designed to allow transactions to be executed at short notice (as short as one week) so that a wide variety
of transactions are feasible as pockets of investor interest /liquidity open and close. As such, DMTN Programmes offer significant cost savings when contrasted against processing fresh set of documentation each time a standalone issue is undertaken.
Relevance A DMTN programme is particularly useful in a volatile market where a company may find that it needs to fulfil its issuance targets in a
series of issuances rather than a single transaction. The multiple issuance flexibility of the programme is designed to easily allow this with minimal additional documentation.
Flexibility
The structure allows for multiple dealers so there is no restriction in competition whereby you would be tied to the Programme Arranger.
The DMTN programme allows any company to access even very small pockets of demand on a cost effective basis as and when they arise without needing to have identified sufficient liquidity for a larger transaction.

Key Considerations
PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL
Rating Agency Process
In South Africa a rating is normally required but not essential There are three international and one South African agency based in South Africa, depending on the requirement and potentila size
of the issue the different agencies will play a role In the rest of Africa a rating is not essential but I believe that will start to change gradually
Economic and Market Trends
There are a number of market trends to give due consideration at this point: Scheduled Central Bank Government auction need to be considered. We recommend that an issuer remains cognizant of this timeline
and plan to issue the first tranche of DMTN before this date to maximize investor participation Market preference is for floating rate issues but fixed issues are also an option depending on Interest rate cycle Investor preference is for bond proceeds to be utilized locally in the economy Investors exhibit different levels of liquidity and are very keen to expand their risk positions. The strong flow into EM equity and debt
funds continues unabated. If you desire a more immediate execution, we would be happy to discuss between now and the half year close period.
Due Diligence and Documentation
We believe it will take 8 - 12 weeks to conclude documentation on the transaction. As such, we strongly recommend that any company commences the process of appointing third parties and legal counsels for this transaction so that you can be adequately positioned to tap the market when an opportunistic market window is presented
Deal Bridge is happy to lead the conversation on the selection of issuer’s counsel
Roadshow
We believe that a deal-related roadshow, especially targeted to local Asset managers and South African institutional investors is advisable. We do not expect significant bids outside of these two priority locations
A locally centred roadshow will help maximise investor interest and increase the likelihood of bringing in new investors who have not previously participated in Sub-Saharan Africa transactions
As the main impetus for demand on this transaction will be mainly driven by South African asset managers as they are expanding into Africa all the time.
The roadshow will usually take the form of one-on-one meetings with the investors. Senior DCM experts from Deal Bridge will accompany you on the roadshow and will assist the issuer to accurately and advantageously position its credit profile before investors.
