4 Invest In Africa The Worlds Fastest Growing Middle Class Growth! Zuma Rock Abuja Why Invest in Africa? Africa may be the last great ground for untapped international investment opportunity left on earth. Forward-thinking investors have the opportunity to get into Africa now, before the continent makes a transformation from an impoverished agrarian subsistence economy to a modestly prosperous and more urban consumer-based economy. The continent s present image creates an opportunity for today s smaller investors. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is predicting that no continent will grow more strongly over the coming years. 70% of the world s fastest growing economies are in Africa. P4. African investments, broadly speaking, are cheap relative to their growth potential.

5 National Arts Theatre Iganmu Nigeria is open for Business MM2 Lagos Ring road Lagos Isaland Ring road Lagos Isaland Why Invest In Nigeria? Ikoyi Bridge Foreign direct investment (FDI) is pouring into Nigeria. In 2012 FDI exceeded $77 billion, up 500% from a decade earlier. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects that seven of the ten fastest growing economies in the world from will be in sub-saharan Africa with Nigeria projected to notch economic growth of 6.8% per annum through Value! As of April 2006, Nigeria became the first African Country to fully pay off her debt. Nigeria is Africa s foremost business destination second only to South Africa. Nigerian cities currently have a massive lack of housing; there is an immediate need of hundreds of housing units with a 16 Million housing unit deficit. Nigeria s 165 million people are mostly young with 40% of the population under the age of eighteen. This is a key factor in positioning the country as a global manufacturing hub. As with early investors in Asia and Latin America, we believe that investment pioneers in Nigeria are likely to find the journey challenging and often unpredictable, but ultimately very rewarding in the long run. P5.

6 What is BOT Student Housing? One major policy of the Federal government of Nigeria (FGN) is to develop the economy and the university system as a subset, in the Build Operate and Transfer (BOT). This is part of the grand policy of devolving and sharing developmental efforts with the private sector in what is known as the Public Private Partnership (PPP). In an effort to get around inadequate financing funds that is hindering the developmental efforts in the country, a legal agreement has been signed between select universities in Nigeria and our company for the construction of student housing on university campus lands. A power of attorney has also been executed conferring a THIRTY (30) YEAR land title to the Company. Demand? The existing state of supply of student accommodation in public universities has witnessed unimaginable shortfalls, which are continually aggravated yearly by the increase in student enrolment. This has created a monumental shortfall in the supply of student accommodation overwhelming the university authorities and their sponsor (FGN) who has repeatedly been beset with severe paucity of funds in meeting their obligation. The high population and population growth rate in Nigeria also serves as a contributing factor to the housing shortage. According to a development analysis done by the World Bank in 2012, Nigeria has a population of 165 Million and an annual population growth rate of 2.6%. This same statistic projects an increase in the number of admitted college students seeing as the country s literacy rate currently stands at 65% according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific & Cultural Organization (UNESCO). These are the facts driving the demand for the Legacy Student Housing Development Project as a novel solution to this rising epidemic. Proposal P6.

7 Investment Offering With an overwhelming demand for this property type and an ongoing deficit of supply, these units (Student rooms) will be constructed using institutional and investor funds and rented annually to the students and leased to investors for a minimum of 25 years. With the net cash flow created by the management of this facility, Participating investors earn an annual rental income on each unit for a 25 year lease period. Acquisition Cost: Each room is offered for sale at a discounted off plan rate. However, limited numbers of rooms are currently being sold as BVER retains a percentage of units as rentals and ensures effective property management and maintenance Revenue: The projected net annual rental income per room is based on past performance after all maintenance and management fees have been deducted. University of Ife Student Housing - Completed P7.

8 For Investors Compensation Plan: Become a BVER Legacy partner as you immediately earn an additional 2% rebate on one of your unit(s) for each referred investor on the year of referral. MM2 Lagos Falomo bridge Rights to Sell: At any time in the life of this acquisition a purchaser can exercise the option to realize their investment, the developer MUST be given a first right of refusal to purchase back the suites. Note that these units can only be rented to bonafide students of the university. Investor pooling option: This structure allows 2 or more investors to pool funds for the purchase of one or more units Investors protection: 1. Low entry level product. 2. Warranty Certificate. 3. Potential future annual rental income increase. 4. Low vacancy rates due to high demand. 5. Clear and defined University backed development strategy. 6. Partnership with Axial Construction - Award winning Architects and Developer with proven track record. Foreign Investors protection 1.

9 Invest in the Youths Build a Community Leave a legacy for generations yet unborn P9.

10 Client Frequently Asked Questions Q: What are the ongoing fees associated with management during the lease term? A: There are no on-going fees. The rental income paid to you is generated after management costs have been deducted. Once you place your funds in the trust account your 12 month cycle begins. Q: If the developer goes bust part way through the project, what safeguards are in place to protect the investors money? A: This is a valid question with most developments however the risk of this to our clients is zero. Your funds are placed in a trust account. Hence your funds will still be in the trust account if the project does not go ahead. Q: Is this investment 100% guaranteed? A: The investment is SECURED by the physical structure of the completed building and provides you a steady cash flow as rental income. There is an inherent element of risk in our investment but it is minimized with the minute vacancy rates in these units due to the high demand and housing shortage. This is the nature of the investment and the extent of the investors risk. Q: Who will manage my unit and collect rents as needed? A: BVER Properties will act as your agent in the management of the property. Clients are welcome to use other third party agents. Q: Can I sell the unit immediately after completion? A: Yes, Clients may opt to sell the unit anytime after completion. However the developer must be given the first right of refusal to buy back the unit. P10.
