The existing shareholders and management will retain 50% of their shareholding in KMPFE. Description of the business KMPFE is a leading independent supplier of aftermarket heavy-duty diesel engine parts for industrial and agricultural machinery in South-East Asia. KMPFE’s main distribution facilities are located in Singapore as well as Malaysia. KMPFE was established in Singapore in 2005 with the primary objective to promote, widen and strengthen the market coverage for KMP Brand® products in the Far East region. KMP-branded parts are widely recognised in the global aftermarket industry for their high quality, reliability and value. Rationale for the Acquisition Part of Invicta’s strategic focus is to diversify into new geographical areas in the industries and markets in which Invicta has significant experience and strong management capabilities. As such with the acquisition of KMP in January 2022 which has operations in the UK and the USA, the natural progression was to acquire KMPFE. Following the transaction, Invicta will benefit from securing the KMP Brand® on a worldwide basis, the cross pollination of skills and economies of scale in the distribution of KMP Brand® products globally. Furthermore, the existing shareholders and management will retain a significant shareholding, ensuring long term alignment with Invicta. Effective date The effective date of the Acquisition was 1 April 2023. Categorisation of the Acquisition The Acquisition does not constitute a categorised transaction in terms of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited and accordingly this information is disclosed on a voluntary basis.
