1. INTRODUCTION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
1.1 During the last quarter of 2005, IFS announced the disposal of all its
operating entities, declared a dividend in specie of the shares in an
unlisted subsidiary and a special dividend in respect of certain amounts of
cash in IFS. With effect from 16 January 2006, the controlling
shareholders of IFS sold 26,6 million shares to a consortium led by Des
Rosen, for 8,82 cents per share, being the tangible net asset value per IFS
share at that date.
1.2 Pursuant to the change in control of IFS, a mandatory offer of 8,82 cents
per share was made to minority shareholders of IFS. Shareholders
representing 153 362 shares accepted the offer.
1.3 At the general meeting held on 7 December 2007, shareholders approved the
change of name of IFS to DNR Capital Limited to reflect the company`s new
corporate identity and changed nature of business.
1.4 With effect from Monday, 7 January 2008 DNR Capital`s listing will transfer
from the "Development Capital Market" sector to the "Equity Investment
Instruments" sector of the Main Board of the JSE. This will reflect the

company specialising in private equity investments.
1.5 At the general meeting, shareholders approved an increase in the authorised
share capital to 500 000 000 ordinary shares of 1 cent each, by the
creation of 456 000 000 new ordinary shares of 1 cent each. Shareholders
also approved the specific issue of 100 000 000 ordinary shares at an issue
price of 100 cents per share to select investors, thus raising R100 000 000
at this time.
1.6 Salient dates and times relating to the change of name, transfer of listing
and specific issue are set out in paragraph y4 below.
1.7 DNR Capital will initially seek to invest in companies with an enterprise
value ranging from R75 million to R500 million. Any capital or debt
requirement beyond this mandate per individual transaction will be
syndicated amongst the many investment houses with whom DNR Capital enjoys
strategic relationships.
