GROW YOUR INVESTMENT The project is the first botanical extraction business in South Africa addressing the issues of unprofitable tea estates by making them viable through the harvesting of fresh green tea leaf for the sole purpose of extracting a bioavailable green tea gallate catechin extract. “The dynamic growth of this industry using formulated green tea extracts as alternative medicine or as a synergistic combination therapy with pre-existing antiviral or antibiotics depends on a method of delivery that ensures its stability and greater bioavailability. Green tea and green tea extracts are one of the most researched agents in the natural botanical sector, with over 20 years of investigations supporting five hundred research studies published identifying markets and final products that deliver benefits in weight loss, anti-aging, treating diabetes 1 & 2, blood cholesterol lowering, treating

high blood pressure, and relieving symptoms of certain cancers and malaria. The market for green tea is in a high growth stage with increasing annual volume growth rates between 13-14 percent. (Frost & Sullivan Research, 2011). With all of the above in mind, a conservative, quick “back of the envelope calculation” gives Plandaí an income of $27,000,000 in 20122013, accelerating within 5 years of inception to $90,000,000 +. Once we’ve pounded the streets and the dust has settled, Plandaí’s market valuation will be one that truly reflects its ability to deliver products that far exceed ANYTHING that is available, making us, to date, the most undervalued company in our space.

Plandaí Biotechnology controls every aspect of the process, from growing the raw materials on its farms in South Africa, to producing the extracts in house. Thus Plandaí is able to guarantee continuity of supply as well as quality throughout the whole process.

PRODUCT & MARKETS The FDA defines bioavailability as “the rate and extent to which the active ingredient or active moiety is absorbed from a drug product and becomes available at the site of action”. In the market today, green tea extracts, with an average selling price of $500/kg, have poor bioavailability of between 1-10%. Plandaí proprietary plant extracts have shown in published USDA studies to have bioavailability of between 60-80%, far exceeding anything currently available today. Our extracts include but are not limited to, gallate catechins from green tea, (catechin gallate (CG),epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), gallocatechin gallate (GCG), and epicatechin gallate (ECG); carotenoids (lycopene)from tomatoes, as well as citrus bioflavonoids and limonoids. Furthermore, Plandaí’s gallate

catechin extract will be the active ingredient in formulated products supporting weight loss, antiaging, the lowering of blood cholesterol, the regulation of high blood pressure and controlling diabetes 1 and 2. This means, that Plandaí’s extracts deliver a more meaningful and beneficial dose at highly competitive prices to the consumer, in wellness terms The Northern American and European natural extracts market are emerging and in a state of intense competition. The shift towards natural ingredients is driving the expansion of the natural extracts market. Among the flurry of ingredients competing in the natural extracts market, green tea extracts is a pioneer and one of the most prominent success stories. (Frost & Sullivan Research, 2011)

We are indebted to the environment for providing us with raw material to create our product. It is our responsibility to ensure that our environment is kept in the most pristine condition possible so as to further supply us with our needs and wants.

COMMUNITY & SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY Understanding what happened in the past is integral to ensure that the mistakes are not repeated in the present and future. From the 1960’s to early 2004, the tea industry in South Africa enjoyed relative stability and protection from market prices. That is, until the SADC tariffs were dropped and international tea prices plummeted forcing the South African tea industry to virtually collapse overnight affecting more 50,000 employees. Plandai Biotechnology through its wholly owned subsidiary’s notarial leases is undertaking to revive not only the tea estates and other farms

but also to empower the local communities who will benefit from employment and education opportunities, thanks to scholarship programs that are being set up to identify and nurture the brightest talent. Furthermore, the farms, under the management of Plandaí Biotechnology wholly owned subsidiary, Dunn Roman Holdings-Africa (Pty) Ltd will comply with the Global Gap farming regulations.
