Questions

7 Jonathan Wood

Global Head of Project Finance

Corppgorate and Investment Banking

Project Finance at Standard Bank

o One of 5 Investment Banking products that are globally managed o 65 professionals in 5 centres – Johannesburggg, London, Lagos, Sao Paulo, Beijing

o Core markets – Africa, Russia, Turkey, Brazil, South East Asia o Focus sectors include Mining, Oil & Gas, Power and Infrastructure o Strong relationships with development finance institutions (DFI’s) and export credit agencies (ECA’s)

o Our modus operandi is to package lending with advisory and other value- add products. Thus a strong structuring culture (often the modelling or technical bank)

2

1 Emerging Market franchise

Significance of Project Finance for Standard Bank o Our core markets are resource rich and infrastructure poor

o Cross border connectivity, especially China play

o Co-incidence with client centric model (great client proximity)

o Cross sell opportunities (hedging, foreign exchange, transactional banking, deposits)

o Development agenda – projects often transformational, politically visible, and require environmental impact mitigation

3

Current market conditions

o Mixed sector outlook • Mining deals being restructured / shelved • Oil & Gas projects being re-evaluated for lower price decks • Power & Infrastructure pipeline still strong

o Liquidity crisis affecting most deals • Large underwritings have been replaced by club deals • Tenors and gearing reduced • Pricing and covenants increased • Flex and market disruption clauses now the norm

o Standard Bank has some advantages • Links with Chinese credit sources • Long standing relationships with DFI’s have born fruit (AfDB, FMO etc) • Local capital markets access • Advisory capacity

3 Smallholder Agriculture

Characteristics:

o Low yields o Low quality seeds o One of the lowest levels of fertiliser usage in the world o Lack of access to finance, insurance and price hedges o Lack of post harvest services o High production costs due to no economies of scale o Lack of enforceable market agreements or formal market access o Unstructured and fragmented private sector engagement

7

Smallholder Agriculture

Summarised into 3 critical areas to be addressed:

oLarge scale access to farmer base Lack of Inadequate access to farming oSecure market linkages affordable practices finance oImproving farming productivity and post harvest practices

High production oDevelopment of a financing facility costs & no marketing agreements oPartnership facilitation, monitoring and evaluation

5 main activators identified for a “Fast track package of co-ordinated activities”

8

4 Smallholder Agriculture: our approach

o “Risk Management” by way of contract farming where the bank can influence a farmer’s decisions regarding production and marketing. A fixed / hedged commodity price and weather insurance form the two cornerstones of the “contract farminggpp” approach

o Leverage off and work with larger donor organisations / NGO’s

o Essentially a wholesale model that leverages commercial aggregators in the value chain

o Through these aggregators, gain informed access to a large farmer base - access to smallholder farmers at scale

o Secure market linkage through aggregators

o Abilityyggggg to provide insurance and price hedging products at bulk aggregator level

o Resulting per farmer transaction and service cost is lowered

o Partnership with risk partners and technical assistance providers

o Opportunity to build a credit history of individual farmers in order to integrate into the formal banking economy
