Anglo African Agriculture Updates on Sale of Guar Bean JV interest

First payment received from PMR

Anglo African Agriculture plc (LSE: AAAP), the London Main board listed food manufacturing company is pleased to announce that its Guar Bean joint venture company, African Projects and Ventures (“APV”), has received the initial loan of ZAR 560,000 (c.£31,500) from Prime Meridian Resources Corporation (“PMR”) as the first part of the transaction to sell AAA’s 49.9% indirect interest in this loss making entity (the “Transaction”). This Transaction was previously announced by the Company on 22 November 2016.

Under the terms of the Transaction, PMR was required to pay ZAR 560,000 (c.£31,500) by way of an initial loan to APV in order to settle existing creditors and then make monthly payments of ZAR 150,000 (c.£8,400) to APV to fund ongoing operations for a further 4 months whilst the Transaction closed.

The completion of the Transaction, which would see AAA’s subsidiary, Dynamic Intertrade (Pty) Limited (“DI”), receive a full and final payment, net of any loans advanced by PMR, of ZAR 1.4 million (c.£80,000), is subject to PMR securing their necessary funding. However the Company expects the Transaction to conclude in early 2017.

David Lenigas, the Company’s Chairman, commented:

“As announced last week, AAA has seen outstanding growth from its main food manufacturing and agricultural commodity trading businesses in the past few months. Having taken us now through critical mass we are now gearing up for a very strong trading performance for 2017. To relieve the Company of any further financial obligation and undue stress with what is now our only loss making business is important for the future growth potential we now see in front of us.”
