Realised investments to date Transaction Realised IRR Consolidated Minerals In 2007, Pallinghurst acquired a position in the ASX-listed Consolidated Minerals. The initial intention was to acquire a controlling interest and use Consolidated Minerals as the vehicle for our Steel Making Materials strategy. However, a competing offer at a 158% significantly higher price was made by a third party, and Pallinghurst decided to sell into this offer and realise a significant profit. POSCO transaction During June 2009, the Pallinghurst Co-Investors agreed to dispose of a partial interest in Tshipi to POSCO. The rationale was to introduce one of the world’s leading steel producers into the Tshipi ownership consortium, in order to benefit from POSCO’s 160% technical expertise as well as their knowledge of the manganese end-user market. The sale crystallised a significant profit for the Company. Tshipi Jupiter transaction In 2010, Pallinghurst supported the acquisition of the Pallinghurst Co-Investors’ 49.9% stake in Tshipi by the ASX-listed Jupiter. This transaction created an attractive platform 269% for Steel Making Materials with significant South African manganese and Australian iron ore projects, and crystallised a marked value uplift.
