About Myanmar Strategic Holdings Ltd. 

Myanmar Strategic Holdings Ltd. is an independent developer and operator of consumer-focused businesses located in Myanmar, one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Initially concentrating on Hospitality and Education, the Company has recently expanded into Services with the acquisition of EXERA, focusing on the broader consumer sector in Myanmar as it grows.

The Company's earliest investments have been in the Hospitality sector - through its portfolio the Company currently manages over 470 beds across 4 boutique hostels in 3 core tourist locations across Myanmar, operating under the award winning Ostello Bello budget hospitality brand. MSH operates an asset light strategy, entering into long-term operating and management agreements with local hostel owners.

Within its Education division, the Company currently has exclusive development and franchising agreements with Wall Street English for ten English language centres across Myanmar over the course of the ten-year agreement. Two centres were opened in 2017, and, as of March 2018, they served over 1,000 students. A third centre is scheduled for opening in August 2018.

The Company has also signed a joint venture with Auston Institute of Management to develop and operate the Auston College Myanmar. The private school opened in May 2018 and initially offers the following curriculum: (i) Diploma in Engineering Technology, (ii) Diploma in Construction Project Management and (iii) Diploma in Networking, Information Systems, and Security. English language learning will also be provided by the Company's nearby Wall Street English centre.

Finally, through its newly formed Services division with the acquisition of EXERA, the Company offers safety, security and cash in transit services. Founded in 2013, EXERA employs approx. 1,000 guards making it one of the largest safety and security operators in Myanmar.

Myanmar was one of the fastest growing economies in Asia in 2017 (Source: Asian Development Bank). In 2018, its annual GDP growth is expected to be about 8.0% (Source: Asian Development Bank), making it one of the fastest growing economies in the world.

MSH is well positioned to provide investors early exposure to Myanmar's strong economic fundamentals enhanced by ASEAN's wider growth prospects.
