Introduction to Cytonn 3 About Us Cytonn Investments is an alternative investment manager, with real estate development capability, and a primary focus on private equity and real estate investments in the high growth Kenyan Region.

Kenya Economic Review and Outlook 7 We expect gradual economic improvement in 2021 Q3'2020 GDP Sectorial Contribution Kenya GDP Growth rate 8.0% Education 4.1% 6.3% 5.7% 5.9% Information and Communication 4.2% 6.0% 5.4% 4.9% 5.4% 4.9% Construction 6.8% 4.0% Financial & Insurance 6.8% Transport and Storage 7.8% 2.0% -1.1% Wholesale and retail trade 8.6% 0.0% Real estate 9.0% 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 Q1' 20 Q2' 20 Q3' 20 Manufacturing 9.4% -2.0% Taxes on Products 11.4% -4.0% Agriculture and Forestry 19.5% -6.0% 0.0% 5.0% 10.0% 15.0% 20.0% 25.0% -5.7% -8.0% • According to Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS), the Kenyan economy recorded a 1.1% contraction in Q3’2020, down from a growth of 5.8% recorded in Q3’2019. This was the second consecutive contraction, following the 5.7% contraction recorded in Q2’2020 • We expect the economy to gradually improve in 2021 supported by the recovery of sectors such as tourism, hospitality and trade etc. which were worst hit by the pandemic 8 Inflation Inflation averaged has 5.3% in the first 5 months of 2021 5-Year Inflation Rates 14.0% 11.5% 12.0% 10.0% 6.6% 8.0% 6.3% 6.7% 6.3% 6.4% 6.0% 6.3% 4.0% 5.6% 6.4% 3.8% 5.9% 2.0% 3.7% 4.1% 0.0% *Source: KNBS • Inflation averaged 5.8% in the first five months of 2021, a 2.0% points decline from the 6.0% recorded over the similar period in 2020. Key to note, May 2021 inflation increased to 5.9% from the 5.8% recorded in April 2021 attributable to rising food prices. The rise in inflation rate earlier in the year was attributed to the rising fuel prices • We expect inflation to be higher than 5.2%, which was the average in 2020, but remain within the government target range of 2.5% - 7.5%, mainly due to the rising global fuel prices and the new taxes introduced at the start of the year that will be transmitted to the final consumers 9 Stanbic PMI Index Kenya PMI Index 65 60 59.1 55 52.5 50 Average - 51.6 45 40 41.5 35 34.4 34.8 30 *Source: Markit Economics PMI Average • In 2021, the economic prospects of the country improved, with the Stanbic PMI index averaging 49.7 in the first 5 months of 2021, an increase from the 41.5 recorded during the same period last year. In Q1’2021, the PMI Index declined, coming in at an average of 51.6, compared to 53.9 in Q4’2020 • Key to note, a PMI reading of above 50 indicates improvements in the business environment, while a reading below 50 indicates a worsening outlook 10 Currency Year-to-date, the Kenyan shilling has appreciated by 1.5% against the US Dollar 115.0 Kshs. vs USD 115.0 108.5 110.0 110.0 105.0 10-yr moving average 108.2 105.0 100.0 100.0 95.0 95.0 90.0 90.0 Jul-18 Jul-16 Jul-17 Jul-19 Jul-20 Jan-17 Jan-18 Jan-19 Jan-20 Jan-21 Sep-16 Sep-17 Sep-18 Sep-19 Sep-20 Nov-16 Nov-17 Nov-18 Nov-19 Nov-20 Mar-21 Mar-17 Mar-18 Mar-19 Mar-20 May-19 May-20 May-16 May-17 May-18 May-21 *Source: Central Bank of Kenya Exchange Rate 10 Yr Moving Average • The Kenya Shilling has appreciated by 1.5% year to date, in comparison to the 7.7% depreciation in 2020. The gain is mainly supported by the improving diaspora remittances evidenced by a 43.8% y/y increase to USD 299.3 mn in April 2021, from USD 208.2 mn recorded over the same period in 2020 • In our view, the shilling will come under pressure due to continued uncertainty globally making people prefer holding dollars and other hard currencies 11 Interest Rates and Monetary Policy Central Bank Rate (%) Weighted Average Interest Rates (%) 20.0 14.0 12.1 18.0 12.0 16.0 7.0 14.0 10.0 12.0 7.1 10.0 8.0 8.0 6.0 6.0 4.0 4.0 2.0 2.0 5.0 0.0 0.0 Jul-19 Jul-20 Jan-19 Jan-20 Jan-21 Jun-19 Jun-20 Oct-19 Oct-20 31-Jul-15 31-Jul-16 31-Jul-17 31-Jul-18 31-Jul-19 31-Jul-20 Feb-19 Apr-19 Feb-20 Apr-20 Feb-21 Sep-19 Sep-20 Dec-20 Dec-19 Aug-19 Aug-20 Nov-19 Nov-20 31-Jan-16 31-Jan-17 31-Jan-18 31-Jan-19 31-Jan-20 31-Jan-21 Mar-19 Mar-20 Mar-21 31-Oct-15 31-Oct-16 31-Oct-17 31-Oct-18 31-Oct-19 31-Oct-20 30-Apr-15 30-Apr-16 30-Apr-18 30-Apr-17 30-Apr-19 30-Apr-20 30-Apr-21 May-19 May-20 Central Bank Rate Average Rate Deposit Interest Spread Lending • Since the start of the year, the Monetary Policy Committee has met thrice and held the Central Bank Rate stable at 7.0% in all instances and the Cash Reserve ratio also remained unchanged at 4.25% • The MPC concluded that the current accommodative monetary policies together with the package of policy measures implemented over the last year have protected the economy from substantial decline and supported vulnerable citizens. As a result of the adoption of the accommodative policy in 2020, commercial banks’ lending rates declined to 11.9% in December 2020 from 12.0% seen in September 2020 12 Private Sector Credit growth Private Sector Credit Growth 30.0% 25.8% 25.0% 20.0% 15.0% 8.9% 10.0% Average: 8.0% 2.8% 5.0% 8.4% 1.9% 4.9% 0.0% *Source: KNBS • In the 12 months to December 2020, growth in private sector credit stood at 8.4%, supported by recovery in demand with the improved economic activity following the easing of COVID-19 containment measures, and the accommodative monetary policy • We expect to see increased caution on lending especially to businesses that rely on imports hence inhibiting private credit sector growth due to the high risk of credit default, with the possibility of heightened Non Performing Loans due to the continuing pandemic and the new restriction measures put in place 13 III.
