Private and confidential Section: 3 Our African Infrastructure Understanding
African Infrastructure Context Key points African Context n Positive correlation between infrastructure expenditure and GDP Inadequate infrastructure is cited as a key constraint to investment and growth Table 1: Overall Infrastructure Spending Needs for SSA growth (Economic Research (Aschauer, 1989; Munnell, 1990) ) _e. g. through increased productivity, reduced logistics costs etc. n Conversely, inadequate infrastructure is cited as a key constraint to investment and growth (ADB, 2007) n Therefore, the provision of quality infrastructure is a necessary element of any strategy for economic integration and sustainable development in Africa SSA requires $93 bn/year in infrastructure investment to meet MDG n SSA requires $93 bn/year in infrastructure investment to meet MDG, (or around 15% of GDP) n 15 countries in Africa are land-locked, with 40% of the continent’s population estimated to live in these countries n Hence efficient cross-border transportation is vital for their economic development n However, the cost of trucking increases in Africa by between 684% - Better policy frameworks to attract investment required 1560% due to poor road conditions, with 40% of food produced in rural Africa degrading due to the lack of roads and bridges (Council for Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR)) n Opportunity 1: Potentially high economic returns to investment in infrastructure, but requires better policy frameworks to attract investment and align economic returns with investor risks/returns n Opportunity 2: Although investment currently dominated by public sector, there’s a strong shift towards private sector (IPP, PPP, Corporate etc. ). 11
African Infrastructure Characteristics Key points African Infrastructure Characteristics n Context: On-the-ground presence in 17 African countries n Investing in African power / infrastructure is not usually for the marginal player – more a specialist activity so less subject to boom and bust n Project lead times will likely take longer than the credit crunch/global recession, e. g. often 3 years plus n Developer Perspective: n Some cut backs in capital expenditure (e. g. focus on lower risk markets) but reduced bank financing capacity is a larger issue Ability of African banks to raise USD dramatically affected n Financing Perspective: n Ability of African banks to raise USD has been dramatically affected, hence a focus on local currency financings which caps project size n Current turmoil in the global credit markets has impacted on closings and increased borrowing costs. However, few clients have walked away with more club deals seen. Limitation on banks’ liquidity/capacity BUT project finance less affected than most debt financing classes n Flight to ECAs and DFIs across all markets, not just Africa. Follow on question is their ultimate African appetite given competing liquidity demands Flight to ECAs and DFIs across all markets n Supplier Perspective: n Recent softening of forward-looking equipment prices but no dramatic plummet. Note most bail-outs encourage infrastructure spending 12
Private and confidential Section: 4 Business and Financing Challenges
Business and Financing Challenges Key points High opportunity costs of insufficient electricity supply Key Issues n Opportunity Costs of insufficient electricity supply/electrification Cost of Unserved Energy: $1. 50/k. Wh (IRP 2010), $10/k. Wh (Dept of Energy) – Small Diesel Generator: $1/k. Wh plus – OCGT Diesel turbines: 30 c – 50 c/k. Wh peaking power – Greater certainty in future tariffs is paramount – Subsistence charcoal: destruction of our forests – Reality Check: the real developmental costs of delayed decisions!!. . . n New Generation Planning – – Should include interest during construction (IDC) – As an indicator to politicians, regulators and consumers about what realities we face – Effective domestic wheeling framework needed A complete financial model not a shopping list of projects Greater certainty in future tariffs is key to funding new investments today – Greater support to credit ratings of utilities (key to tapping current EM liquidity) n Effective Domestic Wheeling framework – Framework must be standardised and transparent for all arrangements – Pricing and risk sharing should facilitate wheeling not prevent it 14
Business and Financing Challenges Key points Effective risk allocating approach Key Issues (Contd. . . ) n Leveraging credit quality private off-takers Allocating risk to those that are able to best manage it – Creating a domestic industrial/mining offtaker group. e. g. CEC Energy – Innovative commodity risk management (commodity price indexation in loan terms) – Unrivalled knowledge of sub. Saharan Africa through on ground presence – Allowing more private players on regional power pools (e. g. SAPP) – Enables smaller countries to reduce burden on their utilities/Treasury n Cross-border PPAs – Chicken and Egg situation (smaller countries can’t build large projects alone) – Mozambique’s Mpanda Nkuwa 1, 500 MW hydro project would benefit entire region but needs Eskom – – Strong product teams in Johannesburg, Lagos, Nairobi and London Challenge: CESUL line and Mpanda Nkuwa require back-to-back contracts Could a Mozambique coal IPP sign a private PPA with mine in SA or Zambia? n Integrated Mining/ Power projects – Reality check: new mining investment is key to our economies over next 20 years – Using Diesel Generators cost GDP and jobs – New quality creditors for power projects: Commodity Buyers 15
Private and confidential Section: 5 Requirements for successful private sector participation
Key Requirements Key points Finalise the enabling framework Overview n Finalise the enabling framework to allow and facilitate private sector participation in the power sector – E. g. In SA. New Generation Regulations of August 2009 is a positive step, but market requires more clarity on process (amongst several other issues) – Rules on Selection Criteria for Renewable Energy Projects n Market requires a bankable PPA (which allows for the appropriate risk allocation between the private sector and the buyer (SOEs or any Integrated System Operators)). This should include such items as: A balanced liability regime – Appropriate protections for the generation companies for risks not within their control A stablisation clause for changes of law – Fair termination events for buyer and seller – Appropriate termination compensation regime – Government support required to stand behind buyer – – Bankable PPA are required Clauses allowing for restructuring which may affect the buyer (e. g. unbundling of the Public utility) n Government support required to stand behind buyer, in order to provide comfort to private sector (developers, equity participants, lenders, etc. ) that PPA availability payments will be made accordingly and termination provisions are fair (and termination payments will be funded) – E. g. In SA, if buyer is Eskom, NT support for PPA required as Eskom is already highly leveraged. Further PPA-type commitments could negatively impact on Eskom’s balance sheet and current debt covenants. Risk that private sector not prepared to enter into PPAs with Eskom without Government backstop 17
Key Requirements (Contd…) Key points Need for independent offtaker / buyers Overview (Contd. . . ) – If buyer is ISO, NT support required as will be newly formed company with no trading history. Private sector will require Government backstop for new entity – Cash-flow timing risk – monthly payments under PPAs versus collections from distribution companies (municipalities), large industrial users and Eskom Distribution n Market is looking for independent offtaker / buyer – e. g. Eskom is seen to be conflicted as a fellow generator and somewhat higher risk creditworthiness n Independent buyer is seen as key by private sector ISO has been a successful model n Independent systems operator has been a successful model in other jurisdictions, seen by the market in afavourable light 18
Key Requirements (Contd…) Key points 19 PPA 101 n The PPA grants the concession and sets the tariff. It is the primary document that the SBO would focus on. To some extent all the others are secondary Grants the concession · Grants the concession - gives the project the right to exist, and the right to generate electricity. Term typically 20 -25 years from completion of construction Ownership · BOO or BOT Sale and purchase of capacity · Generator (IPP) paid on the availability of net Sale and purchase of Net Electricals · Variable O&M costs recovered through the sale of the Indexation · Tariff payments may be indexed for inflation and dependable power capacity irrespective of despatch sufficient to cover debt service, equity return and fixed O&M · Procurer (SBO) takes price and despatch risk · Take or Pay net electrical energy dispatched movements in Foreign Exchange rates · Procurer may take inflation and forex movements risk n The responsibilities will be split Specifications and Performance Standards of the Plant Performance criteria · PPA sets out the responsibility of the Generator to Revenue Write Down provisions for non. Performance · PPA includes provisions to reduce the payments Delay LD’s for late commissioning · Delay LDs payable for late commissioning payable by build by a given date a plant to very precisely documented specifications, operating standards and designs · Generator / EPC Contractor takes the responsibility and risk of building the plant to the requirements of the Procurer · Generator takes performance risk payable to the Generator if the tested dependable capacity at any time or the actual availability [or the heat rate] is worse then the levels the Generator is contracted to provide Generator/ EPC Contractor · Generator takes risk of late commissioning
Key Requirements (Contd…) Key points 20 PPA 101 (Contd. . . ) n The responsibilities will be split (Contd…) Water and Power Transmission interconnections Third party responsibilities Supply of Gas / Coal / Fuel · Generator would seek to make it an obligations of the Procurer to design build and commission all required water and transmission linkages by an agreed date and prior to scheduled testing · In many markets, the Generator would seek to make it an obligation of the Procurer to supply Gas / Coal / Fuel (ie energy conversion) · Procurer takes responsibility for providing Water and Power Interconnections · The PPA sets out provisions for the Procurer to keep the Generator whole and / or pay compensation if such facilities are late · Procurer takes risk of fuel supply and pays deemed commissioning if fuel is not available Generator takes efficiency risk through an incentive penalty regime · Generator may take fuel / hydrology risk assuming satisfactory pricing and supply risks permits Permits · PPA allocates responsibility for obtaining · Split between Procurer and Generator Natural Force Majeure · PPA sets out provisions in relation to relief · Insurance of liability and the provision of insurance (both damage and business interruption) to mitigate Natural Force Majeure Risk · (Lightening, fire, earthquake, accidents, explosions, epidemics etc. ) Political Force Majeure Force majeure / political events · There are certain risks which are uninsurable, political in nature and which Generators will not accept and need to be taken by the Procurer · (Act of war, blockade, boycott, rebellion, civil commotion, Change in Law and / or unjustified failure to renew permits) · Procurer Risk · Payments of deemed commissioning [or termination buyout if prolonged] or tariff adjustments to compensate for additional costs or revenue losses
Key Requirements (Contd…) Key points 21 PPA 101 (Contd. . . ) n The responsibilities will be split (Contd…) Water and Power Transmission interconnections Termination Supply of Gas / Coal / Fuel · Generator would seek to make it an obligations of the Procurer to design build and commission all required water and transmission linkages by an agreed date and prior to scheduled testing · In many markets, the Generator would seek to make it an obligation of the Procurer to supply Gas / Coal / Fuel (ie energy conversion) · Procurer takes responsibility for providing Water and Power Interconnections · The PPA sets out provisions for the Procurer to keep the Generator whole and / or pay compensation if such facilities are late · Procurer takes risk of fuel supply and pays deemed commissioning if fuel is not available Generator takes efficiency risk through an incentive penalty regime · Generator may take fuel / hydrology risk assuming satisfactory pricing and supply risks permits Permits · PPA allocates responsibility for obtaining · Split between Procurer and Generator Termination · The Agreement will stipulate the Events of · In the event of termination due to Procurer default, the Default, cure periods and the termination regime Procurer is obligated on request to purchase the plant for an agreed sum that covers debt and probably an equity return · In the event of termination due to Generator Default, the Procurer has the right but not the obligation to purchase the plant but for a lesser sum covering only debt Credit Support Termination · In the event of termination due to Procurer Default and a purchase price being payable then lenders may seek some form of backstop credit support in respect of the payment to be made, typically in the form of a payment guarantee · It is a matter of commercial negotiation as to whether SBO would be required to provide such a backstop. It may be possible to structure without
Key Requirements (Contd…) Key points Availability payment structure 22 Tariff structure – integral component of PPA n A number of different tariff structures are feasible – in this document we have focused on the most commonly used structure: ‘Availability’ payment structure n The RFP for an IPP tender will specify the tariff structure which bidders must adhere to and will form the basis of payments to / from the Project Company (Generator) and the offtaker (Procurer) n Each bidder will be invited to bid a number of Charge Rates – Bidders would have to target LEC Occasionally charge rates can be firmly fixed and bidders would have to target LEC (Levelised Electricity Cost) based on an Asset Value (Brownfield) – Lower charge rates however may not always equate to better value for money for the procurement Authority n For an availability driven tariff, payments will typically be split between Capacity and Output – Capacity Payments are designed for recovery of all the fixed costs of the plant, including debt service, taxation, equity return and fixed O&M costs. Typically deductions for non-availability and / or poor plant performance would be netted off against these capacity payments – Outputs Payments recover the variable operating costs of the plant and may also include an adjustment for fuel consumption n In the case of a merchant plant or ‘Take or Pay’ agreement, the tariff structure is much simpler. Revenue = Plant Output ( Wh) * M Payments typically split between Capacity and Output Market Price (ZAR/MWh) Base capacity component Fixed O&M component Fuel adjustment payment Capacity Payment Variable O&M payment Output Payment Service Payment

Private and confidential Section 7: Standard Bank’s Value Proposition
Standard Bank’s Value Proposition: Robust Project Advisory/Finance Services 26 Our Project Advisory and Finance Services
Standard Bank’s Value Proposition: Experience with DFIs Selected Experience with DFIs 27
Standard Bank’s Value Proposition: Experience with ECAs Selected Experience Working with ECAs 28
Standard Bank’s Value Proposition: Export Finance Solution (1/4) Export Credit Agencies n An Export Credit Agency (“ECA”) is typically a government agency or parastatal organisation. Its goal is to promote its domestic industries and to foster economic growth through the provision of financial support to exporters. n This is most often achieved by providing political and commercial insurance cover or loan guarantees to banks. n A financing solution incorporating an ECA represents one of the most attractive financing solutions where there is a cross-border movement of capital goods and/or services. n Given the general decrease in available liquidity and risk appetite for emerging markets and emerging market assets, the significance and importance of ECA supported funding has increased. Advantages of an Export Finance structure n ECA backed funding is especially beneficial in transactions requiring a longer tenor, large amounts and for higher risk grade countries. n Repayments can be “stretched” to match future cash flows, not country limit constraints n Lower interest rates and competitive USD funding, eg Libor + 2. 50% for ECIC-backed financing from South Africa n Alternative source of funding (not tying up all credit lines with Standard Bank) 29
Standard Bank’s Value Proposition: Export Finance Solution (2/4) Mechanics n If a client or its subsidiary is sourcing capital goods and services from a supplier in South Africa, Standard Bank can provide an Export Finance backed term loan which is partly guaranteed by the ECIC. n A lending rate of LIBOR + 2. 50% is payable by the Borrower under the South African Export Finance scheme and an ECIC premium for political risk insurance and commercial risk insurance is also payable by the Borrower. n The ECIC premium (for the provision of political and commercial cover) may be payable up-front as a lump sum payment or payable over the drawdown period or annualised over the tenor of the loan. n The premium is determined by a number of factors including country, tenor, drawdown schedule, repayment profile and the security package relating to the loan. Borrower USD term loan (plus hedging if required) exported equipment Equipment supplier eg in South Africa Standard Bank Insurance cover ECA eg ECIC from South Africa 30
Standard Bank’s Value Proposition: Export Finance Solution (3/4) ECIC n The principal objectives of the ECIC are: – to facilitate and encourage South African export trade by underwriting bank loans and investments outside the country, in order to enable foreign buyers to purchase capital goods and services from the Republic; and – to provide investment insurance to South African companies investing in assets offshore. n Unlike a number of other export credit agencies (such as EFIC for instance), ECIC does not lend directly to projects. – ECIC provides insurance cover (100% Political and 85% Commercial Risk cover) to Lenders that are signatories to their Export Credit Support Agreement and Standard Bank provides the liquidity. n The ECIC have appetite for most countries in Africa and are mandated to cover countries around the world in general. – Their appetite both in terms of number of transactions supported as well as quantum of support per transaction differs from country to country. – They are actively looking to diversify their insurance portfolio and are most keen on countries where they currently have low levels of exposure. 31
Standard Bank’s Value Proposition: Export Finance Solution (4/4) Criteria to qualify for ECIC support n Tied Export Programme – The ECIC will support projects (under their “tied” export program) where there is an export of capital goods and services from South Africa. – ECIC will support 85% of the South African export contract (SA contract value) and will require the Borrower to make a down payment of 15% of the SA contract value to the South African exporter. – The minimum ECIC requirement for South African content is 50% of the value of the South African export contract. – The ECIC provides insurance for credits of a minimum of 2 years and typically up to a maximum of 12 years (in the recent past we have seen longer tenors). 32
Private and confidential Section: 8 Case Study
Case Study: Morupule B Coal Power Plant Financing n Chinese partners: USD 1. 6 bn coal-fired power plant, 600 MW, built by Chinese contractor CNEEC, funding arranged by ICBC/Standard Bank n Cost effective: The all-in cost of the whole project was USD 2. 91 m per MW (compared to USD 4. 5 m per MW for the Kusile plant in South Africa) n Single financial solution: Standard Bank and ICBC arranged a US$ 825 mn loan for 20 yr, backed by a Botswana Ministry of Finance guarantee, Sinosure ECA 15 yr guarantee and the World Bank 15 -20 yr guarantee. A US$ 140 mn bridge finance facility was provided by ICBC, guaranteed by Standard Bank. The BPC sells power in Botswana Pula (BWP). Standard Bank swapped the BPC’s floating USD exposure to a fixed BWP exposure for the whole 20 -yr period. n Standard Bank’s expertise: Our local banking presence in Botswana, power sector expertise and deep relationships with Chinese partners allowed us to bring together all the parties to present the Botswana Government with a single, quick and cost-effective solution to secure its domestic power supply. 34
