All rights reserved. 1 2 3 4 OUR UNIQUE APPROACH The Group combines the assets, growth record and professional skills of major public limited corporations, with the freedom, rapid response and entrepreneurial style of a private concern. This enables us to maintain the firm foundations we have established, to seek out fresh investment opportunities to grow our core businesses and to maximise financial returns. STRATEGIC INTENT Our principal objective is to add significant value in everything we do for the benefit of our stakeholders – by which we mean our people, the companies that we invest in and our customers. We achieve this through a combination of strengths: focus on areas of expertise and innovation relating to our core businesses; leadership in the sectors and markets in which we participate; active investment supportive of, and close working with, management; and the creation of strategic partnerships with other commercial organisations who can benefit from our expertise. QUALITIES AND VALUES We run all our businesses to the highest professional standards, using similar corporate governance structures and financial disciplines associated with large public companies. We blend this with our own unique collegiate, consensual style of management – rigorously analytical yet encouraging innovation and rewarding entrepreneurial endeavour. Our core values are based on absolute personal and commercial integrity, hard work and loyalty to our employees, advisers, customers and partners. COMMITTED TO THE FUTURE We are maintaining leadership in our core businesses, taking advantage of opportunities for further investment, and acquiring and investing in new businesses. All of this is facilitated by the freedom and flexibility of our private status. We are confident that the rapid response and professionalism of our execution will allow us to implement our ambitions. The Group forms the centre of an international private investment Group whose origins date back to 1902. Our principal sectors of focus are real estate, agribusiness and venture capital. EXPERTS AT CREATING LEADING BUSINESSES Hanover Acceptances Group has a proven track record when it comes to establishing and growing businesses. We currently operate in three key commercial sectors - real estate, agribusiness and venture capital. Dorrington is a leading investor and developer in both residential and commercial property in the UK. African Realty Trust is southern Africa’s largest citrus fruit grower, exporter and juice processor. Fresh Capital Group is our venture capital vehicle, investing in high growth sectors and in leading-edge areas tangential to our core portfolio. 1 2 3 4 5 6 DORRINGTON Dorrington is our residential and commercial property investment and development company. It is one of the leading residential investors and landlords in the UK, a position paralleled in the commercial market where it maintains a specialist role as an active, value-driven investor in Greater London. Dorrington excels in combining its investment instinct, developed through more than 60 years’ experience, with rigorous analysis. We are visible managers with a ‘hands-on’ approach – a characteristic that enables us to outperform industry benchmarks and gives us clear identity with our tenants, peers and financial partners. COMMERCIAL Dorrington Properties PLC, our commercial property business, operates a highly focused investment strategy. Geographically, we target buildings and sites in central and greater London, a city that our team knows intimately on a ‘village by village’ basis. Offices are our preferred asset class, with retail investments also represented within our portfolio. We will only buy mature investments if we see mis-pricing or if our insights give us clear reason to expect better than sector growth. Rather, we are commercial property ‘manufacturers’, buying tired, damaged or unloved property, and creating from it best value. RESIDENTIAL Our core residential business is purchasing and managing properties that are let on statutory tenancies. We are also investors in the deregulated private rented sector, and our interests in ground rents and let properties are represented by over 5,000 units, mainly in the London area. As one of the largest residential investors and landlords in London, we are proud of our reputation for integrity and fair dealing. We manage our portfolio intensively, to get the most out of the buildings to the mutual benefit of ourselves, our lessees and our tenants.

Founded in 1902, our operations have great depth and scale, yet we are also a family-owned business, knowledgeable and caring about every detail of fruit production and processing. This combination allows us to meet the needs of a single customer or market from one source, as well as to deliver absolute commitment to quality and traceability. FRESH FRUIT We are the largest single source of citrus fruit in southern Africa, producing over 85,000 tons of fruit each year from our comprehensive farm at Letaba. We take full responsibility for and control every aspect of fruit production: from research into new cultivars, the germination of seed and the control of disease and pests, to the growing, picking and packing of the final product. Our integrated approach ensures overall consistency, quality and traceability of our produce – from seed to carton. JUICE Letaba Citrus Processors – our juice extraction and processing operation – is a leading processor and blender of juices for the South African market, able to process over 120,000 tons of citrus fruit per season. This is an advanced facility, combining sophisticated processing technology with high-quality ingredients, that is able to extract, process and blend citrus and other fruit and vegetable juices, pulps and purees to customers’ exact specifications in both frozen and aseptic formats.

Formed in 1998, Fresh Capital provides Hanover Acceptances with a means of diversifying its investment portfolio, pursuing high growth opportunities and investing in leading-edge areas tangential to its core activities.

In order for portfolio companies to benefit fully from the Group's involvement, Fresh Capital seeks companies based in the UK. Together with board representation, this facilitates collaboration with management so as to add value to the on-going operations of the business.
