moreAltree Custody ("ACS") has worked with Tanzanian market infrastructures and counterparties to arrange a secure, simple and cost effective USD-guarantee structure to enable our clients to allocate to the upcoming Tanzania Breweries Limited ("TBL") share offering which closes November 25, 2011. ACS's solution provides a secure structure in which to participate in the TBL offering by placing a USD guarantee into the market and then waiting until final allocation before exchanging only sufficient enough USD funds into TZS for the final allocation. Given the expectation of over-subscription of this offering, plus inherently high costs for foreign exchange, this process will thereby minimize potential FX exposure and costs associated with subscribing in this pre-funded market. Under the ACS structure, both the opening of a separate account in Tanzania and dealing with any of the ongoing administration and management issues is unnecessary as ACS will manage the entire process, provide consolidated net safekeeping and complete cash account reporting, as well as provide a value driven custody solution over the long term at attractive long-term rates.
