CIRCULAR TO SHAREHOLDERS
1. INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE OF THIS CIRCULAR
Shareholders are referred to the SENS announcement released on 30 April 2019 when Shareholders were advised that Pacifico and Sun International's Subsidiary, Sun Latam, had entered into a share purchase agreement, whereby Pacifico had agreed to purchase 14.94% of Sun Latam's shareholding in Sun Dreams for the sum of US\$85.8 million, which would result in each party holding a 50% equity interest in Sun Dreams.
Shareholders are further referred to the SENS announcement released by the Company on 26 June 2020 advising that Sun Latam and Pacifico had become embroiled in a dispute regarding the Initial Transaction and that Sun Latam had initiated arbitration proceedings against Pacifico before the International Chamber of Commerce in Chile to resolve the dispute.
Following the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the Sun International Group and taking into consideration the challenges facing Latam and South Africa, plus the length of time, uncertainty and costs associated with arbitration proceedings in a foreign jurisdiction, the Parties have reached agreement whereby:–
- Sun Latam and Pacifico have agreed to settle their dispute in respect of the Initial Transaction and to implement the transfer of Sun Latam's 14.94% equity interest in Sun Dreams to Pacifico on the terms of an agreed form settlement agreement (which is an annexure to the SPA) to be concluded by the Parties; and
- Pacifico has agreed, subject to Sun International Shareholder and SCJ approvals, to acquire Sun Latam's remaining 50% equity interest in Sun Dreams, on terms and conditions as more fully set out in the SPA and as further described below.
The net effect of the above is that, on closing of the Transaction, Pacifico will have acquired Sun Latam's entire 64.94% equity interest in Sun Dreams for US\$160 million which equates to a 2019 historical multiple of 5.5x (five point five times multiple) EBITDAR which may increase to a 6.5x (six point five times multiple) subject to certain future earnouts being achieved as detailed in the SPA and described in paragraph 2.3 below. Accordingly, and on closing of the Transaction, Pacifico will become the sole shareholder of Sun Dreams.
The purpose of this Circular is to:–
- provide Shareholders with the relevant information relating to the Transaction to enable Shareholders to make an informed decision in respect of the Resolutions set out in the Notice of General Meeting enclosed with this Circular; and
- convene the General Meeting of Shareholders in order to consider and, if deemed fit, approve the Resolutions.
2. THE TRANSACTION
2.1 Rationale for the Transaction
Given the socio-political uncertainty that exists in Chile including the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, the renewal of the SCJ licences and the need for further capital, the Transaction gives Sun International the opportunity to realise its investment in Latam at an attractive valuation given the circumstances and the environment in which we are currently operating. It also brings significant liquidity to the South African operations which will allow for a further reduction in the Group's borrowings and a resultant saving on interest charges.
Both the Board and Sun Latam directors have considered the financial and commercial viability of Sun Latam entering into and concluding the Transaction and recommend voting in favour of the Transaction.
2.2 Salient terms of the Transaction
The salient terms and conditions of the Transaction, as set out in the SPA entered into between the Parties, are as follows:–
Sun Latam has agreed to dispose of its 6 674 732 Shares held in Sun Dreams, representing 50% of the issued ordinary share capital of Sun Dreams, to Pacifico, on terms set out in the SPA including:
- the closing date, which will be the effective date of the Transaction, will be the fifth business day after the date on which the last of the suspensive conditions set out in the SPA have been fulfilled (or where applicable waived) by the Parties ("the Closing Date");
- pending the SPA becoming unconditional, including in respect of Sun International Shareholder approval and other necessary regulatory approvals and consents being secured, Pacifico shall guarantee the payment of the future earnouts (referred to in section 2.3 hereof and more fully described in the SPA) by pledging shares held in Sun Dreams to Sun International to cover the full extent of its liability in this regard;
- the Transaction will be subject to usual warranties and indemnities associated with transactions of this nature, as well as the fulfilment (or where applicable waiver) of the suspensive conditions set out more fully in the SPA; and
- the Transaction will be governed by and interpreted according to the laws of Chile, with all disputes being finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce, sitting in Santiago, Chile.
2.3 Purchase Consideration and use of proceeds
The Purchase Consideration payable by Pacifico to Sun Latam to acquire Sun Latam's remaining 50% equity interest in Sun Dreams will be the sum of US\$100 million, of which US\$85 million will be paid to Sun Latam on the Closing Date and US\$15 million will be held in an escrow account as security for the discharge by Sun International of certain indemnity obligations assumed by Sun International when Sun Dreams initially became part of the Sun International Group in 2016. The indemnity obligations relate to a tax claim made by the Chilean revenue authorities regarding the deductibility of free play. The matter is being disputed by Sun International and its legal counsel as referred to in note 24 of the 2019 annual financial statements.
In addition to the Purchase Consideration, Pacifico will be liable to pay Sun Latam a further maximum amount of Clp42 340 000 000 (approximately US\$53 million based on a US\$/Chilean Peso exchange rate of Clp794 to \$1 at 19 August 2020) subject to certain earnout targets being achieved which are linked to the renewal of four gaming licences in Chile and Sun Dreams by 31 December 2024 and these licenses achieving at least their 2019 EBITDAR targets for the 2025 calendar year, as more fully set out in the SPA.
Pacifico will pay \$60 million to Sun Latam in respect of the Initial Transaction on entering into a settlement agreement to be concluded by the Parties on the Closing Date. Shareholders are advised that Sun International is not seeking approval for the Initial Transaction which was entered into and announced to Shareholders on 30 April 2019. In the event, that the Proposed Transaction is not approved by Shareholders, the arbitration proceedings in respect of the Initial Transaction will reinstated with immediate effect. In total Sun International will receive approximately R2.7 billion and will remit approximately between R1.8 billion and R1.9 billion to South Africa after settling its holding company debt in Chile and placing the retention into an escrow account.
The proceeds arising from the Transaction will be used to settle Sun International's offshore debt in Latam of approximately R637 million (Clp30.1 billion), with the remaining proceeds being repatriated to South Africa. An amount equal to \$15 million of the Purchase Consideration will be retained in escrow in Chile as security for the settlement of a potential tax claim as detailed in the Sun International Group's financial statements.
2.4 Classification of the Transaction
The Transaction is a category 1 transaction in accordance with the Listings Requirements and is therefore subject to Shareholder approval (by way of an ordinary resolution) as detailed in the Notice of General Meeting.
2.5 Transaction expenses
The estimated costs of preparing and distributing this Circular, holding the General Meeting, implementing the Transaction, including the fees payable to professional advisors, are approximately R5 400 and include the following:–

3.3 Material changes and litigation statement in respect of Sun Dreams
Other than as outlined in paragraph 3.5 below, there has been no material change in the financial and trading position of Sun Dreams between the publication of its audited financial results for the year ended 31 December 2019 and the Last Practicable Date.
Furthermore, and other than certain contingent tax liabilities mentioned above which are awaiting final adjudication by the Inland Revenue Service in Chile and amounting to approximately US\$15 million, there are no legal or arbitration proceedings which may have, or have had in the past 12 months, a material effect on the financial position of Sun Dreams. Sun Dreams is not aware of any other such proceedings that are pending or threatened.
3.4 Material contracts and disclosure of vendors
Save for the agreements relating to the acquisition of certain casino interests and land in Peru as announced on SENS on 11 October 2017 and the Transaction as described in this Circular, and as set out below, Sun Dreams has not entered into, either verbally or in writing any restrictive funding arrangements and/or material contracts, other than in the ordinary course of business, within the three years preceding the date of this Circular, or at any time, and containing an obligation or settlement that is material to Sun Dreams at the Last Practicable Date of this Circular.
There were no material loans that were made to Sun Dreams by third parties directly as a result of the Transaction, as at the Last Practicable Date.
There have been no vendors of material assets to Sun Dreams or its Subsidiaries during the three years preceding the Last Practicable Date. Other than the potential tax claim referred to in the clause 2.1 no provisions for the settlement of any liability for accrued taxation have been included in the agreements entered into. No promoter or director of Sun Dreams had any material beneficial interest in the Transaction. No amount in cash or securities has been transferred to any promoter in the above Transaction and no shares have been pledged nor ceded by Sun Dreams.
3.5 Prospects of Sun Dreams
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the Sun Dream's operations since it went into lockdown. The extremely challenging trading conditions resulting from Covid-19 and the resultant lockdown has placed significant pressure on the performance of Sun Dreams. In Chile, the SCJ recently announced that casinos can re-open when active cases are less than 25 per 100 000 of the population of each city. While there is no certainty when this will occur, it is anticipated that most of the Sun Dreams' operations will be re-opened by October 2020. However, it remains unclear as to when the operations in Peru and Argentina will be allowed to re-open.
In order to manage costs and liquidity, Sun Dream's has commenced a voluntary retrenchment exercise, in Chile, involving approximately 1000 employees, with 451 of these employees having already accepted voluntary retrenchment packages. This reduction will enable the business to control costs during the recovery period. In Peru, Sun Dreams has launched its online sports betting and gaming business under the brand SolBet which, although in its startup phase has shown a promising start to trading. On the back of SolBet, Sun Dreams will continue to capitalise on online gambling opportunities in Latam.
In Chile, additional loans were raised to fund the debt repayments and to provide sufficient liquidity for the group to trade through the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Covid-19 pandemic will have a significant impact on the Latin American economies in which Sun Dreams operates. These economies will take some time to recover. Once trading commences, it is not expected that there will be a quick recovery to previous trading levels however the company is optimistic that with the various costs saving and efficiency initiatives implemented and a dedicated focus on improving the customer experience positions Sun Dreams to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic.
4. SUN INTERNATIONAL OVERVIEW
4.1 Nature of business
The Sun International Group owns and operates casino, hotel and resort properties in South Africa, Swaziland, Nigeria and Latam. This includes 17 properties in South Africa, 2 in the rest of Africa and 13 in Latam. Gaming currently contributes the largest share of Sun International's revenue. The Company also engages in alternative gaming with 6 000 machine licences and one online sports betting licence in South Africa.
4.2 Prospects
The Covid-19 pandemic will have a significant impact on the South African and Chilean economies which will take some time to recover. With the recent resumption of trading in South Africa and the further lifting of restrictions we expect trading levels to continue to improve.
While we do not expect that there will be a quick recovery to previous trading levels we are optimistic that with the various cost savings and efficiency initiatives implemented and a dedicated focus on improving the customer experience, that the Group will recover from the Covid-19 pandemic and resume delivering strong returns to Shareholders.
The disposal of Sun Dreams and the subsequent receipt of the Purchase Consideration will significantly strengthen the Group's balance sheet and reduce interest charges.

-
The "Pro forma after the Rights Offer" column reflects the impact of a subsequent event, i.e. the Rights Offer, on the Sun International results for the six-month period ended 30 June 2020.
-
- The "Pro forma after the Transaction" column reflects the impact of the disposal of Sun International's 64.94% interest in Sun Dreams assuming the Transaction was effective as follows:
- 3.1 Pro forma earnings and headline earnings per share are based on the principal assumption that the Initial Transaction and the Transaction were effective on 1 January 2020.
- 3.2. Pro forma net asset value and net tangible asset value per share are based on the principal assumption that the Initial Transaction and the Transaction were effective on 30 June 2020.
-
- Although there is current significant uncertainty regarding the implications of the global Covid-19 pandemic, no post balance sheet event has been adjusted for in this regard. There are no other material subsequent events that require an adjustment to the pro forma financial information.

HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF SUN DREAMS GROUP FOR THE FINANCIAL YEARS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019, 31 DECEMBER 2018 AND 31 DECEMBER 2017
1. INTRODUCTION
The historical financial information of Sun Dreams for the financial years ended 31 December 2019, 31 December 2018 and 31 December 2017 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS"), the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and the Listings Requirements.
The historical financial information of Sun Dreams is the responsibility of the Directors of Sun Dreams.
2. NATURE OF BUSINESS
Sun Dreams operates a number of casinos, hotels as well as entertainment, food and beverage facilities throughout Latam including in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Panama and Peru.
3. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
In 2019, the Sun Dreams Group operations showed tremendous resilience despite the significant impact of the unexpected and widespread social unrest which erupted in Chile during the last quarter of the year. The social unrest resulted in the curtailment of operations, some damage to their properties and significant deterioration in trading conditions during October and November 2019. This contributed to the reduction in operational profit and cash flow in 2019.
Notwithstanding the various challenges faced, Sun Dreams Group operations continued to demonstrate pleasing de-gearing and balance sheet strength. After the distribution of R114 million minority dividends, net financial debt in Sun Dreams Group (excluding lease liabilities) reduced to R3.3 billion from R4.1 billion in 2018. Sun Dreams Group's net debt to EBITDA (excluding the effect of IFRS 16) reduced from 3.0x to 2.6x at 31 December 2019.
In 2018, the Sun Dreams Group income increased by 16%. As a result of a decision taken to exit the Sun Nao Casino in Colombia and Ocean Sun Casino in Panama, these operations were accounted for as discontinued for the year.
The performance of the Sun Dreams Group operations remained subdued in 2017 as the operations in Monticello, were particularly impacted by the shooting incident mid-year. Due to the continued underperformance of the Ocean Sun Casino, its operations have been scaled down and the International VIP Business closed while the Sun Nao Casino in Colombia, which has continued to incur losses, was closed in December 2017.
The increase in income and cash flow during 2017 is partly due to Monticello closing in July 2017 for 12 days following the unfortunate shooting incident. Monticello benefited from a new arena which opened in June 2017 and from a refreshing of its restaurant offering. Iquique, which is located in a copper mining region, was impacted by a stagnating local economy as well as a lack of investment in the property due to the imminent expiry of the current licence in 2020 when the casino will be relocated to new premises. Income of the Peruvian operations (excluding Thunderbird Resorts) increased by 2% 2018 while adjusted EBITDAR remained in line with the prior comparative period. Thunderbird Resorts, which acquisition was effective 11 April 2018, generated revenue of R194 million and adjusted EBITDAR of R25 million. The acquisition of the Park Hyatt Hotel, Casino & Spa in Mendoza, Argentina became unconditional on 11 July 2018 and has performed ahead of expectations in US dollar terms with a strong performance from the hotel. Its US dollar-based income was partly offset by the casino impacted by the weak currency. The acquisition of the 2 new subsidiaries increased profitability and the cash available at the end of 2018.
The closure of the International VIP Business and the 66th floor of the Ocean Sun Casino in Panama led to a decrease in income and a significant reduction in costs. Following the closure of the Sun Nao Casino in Colombia in December 2017, a few small low-cost slot halls utilising the machines and tables from the Sun Nao Casino were opened. The Sun Dreams Group will dispose of these operations to another Colombian operator and will take a minority stake in the business. Sun Dreams Group settled the outstanding rental for the Sun Nao Casino at US\$1.5 million. Both the Colombian and Panama operations are accounted for as discontinued operations in 2019 and 2018.
4. CHILE MUNICIPAL LICENCES
Municipal licences
With reference to the Chilean municipal licence bids:–
- In 2018, Sun Dreams was awarded the bid for the Iquique municipal licence, for a further period of 15 years. Subsequent to being awarded the bid, it transpired that the local municipality had annexed a certain portion of the land on which the Iquique project was to be developed. Consequently, Sun Dreams and the municipality have engaged in discussions regarding how best to resolve this matter and progress with the development. This has had the effect of delaying the project including the payment of higher taxes and the corresponding capital investment required; and
- Sun Dreams has launched a court challenge with regards to the award of the Puerto Varas and Pucon licences to Enjoy. It is the view of Sun Dreams and its legal team that the bids awarded did not comply with all of the prescribed legal and technical requirements.
SCJ licences
• In a press release on 27 July 2020, the SCJ announced that it will commence with the process of bidding for the SCJ casino licences. The due date for bids is 18 January 2021. The Chilean Casino Association alleges that the renewal process does not comply with the regulatory framework currently in force and the SCJ is seeking to unilaterally change the terms which had previously been agreed. Sun Dreams has taken legal advice and will pursue legal action against the process.

10. ACQUISITION/DISPOSAL OF SUBSIDIARIES
(a) Park Hyatt Hotel and Casino in Mendoza Argentina
Sun Dreams S.A. signed a purchase agreement on 29 June 2018, in which it acquired 100% of the ordinary shares of Nuevo Plaza Hotel Mendoza S.A., although control only transferred on 11 July 2018.
This strategic acquisition strengthens Sun Dreams position in Argentina and the Latam continent.
The shares were burchased from Combania Sabama de Inversiones S.A., Soceidad Latinoamericana de Entretenimiento S.A., Guillermo Liberman and Mendoza Investment Company Inc., who jointly owned 100% of the ordinary share capital of Neuvo Plaza Hotel Mendoza S.A.
The agreed purchase price was R333 million (USD 24 804 415) plus an additional amount calculated as 5.4 times the EBITDA of Nuevo Plaza Hotel Mendoza S.A. of 2018 minus USD 24 million, provided that said amount was neither negative nor exceeds R40 million (USD 3,000,000). This additional amount represented a contingent consideration in terms of IFRS 3, management estimated that 90% of this amount would be payable in the future. The fair value of the contingent consideration was calculated as the present value of the estimated value to be paid R35 million (USD 2,626,000). The contingent consideration was classified as a liability for the PPA analysis. The determined purchase price was R368 million (USD 27,430,415).
The parties agreed to retain part of the purchase price as collateral, in order to guarantee eventual contingencies to the conclusion of the contract. An amount of R12 million (USD 888,888) was placed in an escrow account which will be released on the second anniversary of the closing date.
Based on the estimates and projections provided by Management at that point in time, Goodwill was determined to be R84 million (USD 6,237) which represents 22.7% of the total purchase price.
(b) Thunderbird Resorts in Peru
Sun Dreams S.A., a subsidiary of the group, entered into a purchase agreement during October 2017 to acquire 100% of the shares of the Thunderbird Resorts group with the strategic objective of increasing their position in Peru consisting of the following entities:
- Thunderbird Fiesta Casino Benavides S.A. (TFCB) which operates the Fiesta Casino;
- Sun Nippon Company S.A.C. (SNC) which operates the Luxor Lima and Mystic Slots Cusco casinos;
- Interstate Gaming del Peru S.A. (IGP) which operates the Luxor Tacna casino; and
- Thunderbird Salsa's S.A. (TS) which operates the Salsa and Cafe 21 restaurants.
The acquisition was effective on 11 April 2018 for a total purchase consideration of R317 million (US\$ 26 million), which included the value of the Fiesta Casino property amounting to R124 million (US\$ 10.3 million).
The group has performed a purchase price allocation (PPA) and recognised Goodwill amounting to R7 million (US\$ 0.6 million) which represents 2.2% of the total purchase price.
Restatement of 31 December 2018 comparable figures due to the finalisation of the PPA
Subsequent to the audited 31 December 2018 comparable balance sheet, a final PPA was obtained during the current financial period that was indicative of conditions that was in existence at the acquisition date. As per IFRS 3 Business Combinations, states: "If the initial accounting for a business combination can be determined only provisionally by the end of the first reporting period, the business combination is accounted for by using provisional amounts. Adjustments to the provisional amounts, and the recognition of newly identified assets and liabilities, must be made within the measurement period where they reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that were in existence at the acquisition date [IFRS 3.45]. The measurement period cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date and no adjustments are permitted after one year except to correct an error in accordance with IAS 8. [IFRS 3.50]"

Impairments
For the purpose of assessing impairment, asset are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows CGUs. Goodwill is allocated to a CGU for purpose of impairment testing.

13. EQUITY-ACCOUNTED INVESTMENTS
Colombian Investments
As at October 2019 Sun Dreams acquired a 60% shareholding in the newly formed entity Sun Dreams Colombia S.A.S. via the 100% held entity Sun Casinos, Colombia S.A.S, the group has deemed this newly acquired investment as an associate. The group is satisfied with the accounting treatment for this associate due to the participation sale agreement included that the buyer would have broad attributions in the decision-making in the newly incorporated operation of the company which resulted in a loss of control and therefore the Colombian entity is accounted in terms of equity accounting as per IAS:28 from 1 October 2019.
The following amounts represent the income, expenses, assets and liabilities of the equity-accounted investment:

Dividends
The Group has adopted the dividend distribution policy approved by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting, taking into account their needs and the fulfillment of ratios to be met by the company before contractual commitments with external entities, therefore, in that instance will proceed to the registration of the final or provisional dividends as less Net Equity. Dividends will be reduced from accrued income and reserves for future dividends.
Dated 23 April 2019, at the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of Sun Dreams S.A., it was agreed that a final dividend from the Company's accumulated income account was awarded, up to the total amount of R316 million, which was paid in full on 3 May 2019.
Dated 9 November 2018, at the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of Sun Dreams S.A., it was agreed that a final dividend from the Company's accumulated income account was awarded, up to the total amount of R364 million, which was paid in full on 22 November 2018.

22. BORROWINGS
Cash flow interest rate risk
The group's cash flow interest rate risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and variable rate borrowings. The group is not exposed to fair value interest rate risk as the group does not have any fixed interest bearing financial instruments carried at fair value.
Interest rate sensitivity
A 1% increase in interest rates at 31 December would decrease profit after tax by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant.
| 31 December | 31 December | 31 December | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 2018 | 2017 | |
| Rm | Rm | Rm | |
| Profit after tax | (24) | (30) | 76) |
A I % decrease in interestrates would have an equal but opposite effect to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.
Capital risk management
The group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the group's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide benefits for its stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust this capital structure, the group may issue new shares, adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or buy-back existing shares.
The board of directors monitors the level of capital, which the group defines as total share capital, share premium, treasury shares and treasury share options.
Consistent with others in the industry, the group monitors capital on the basis of the following gearing ratio's as agreed upon with our lenders as at 31 December:
- Loan Covenant (Debt/EBITDA) may not exceed 4.50x (2018: 4.5x/2017:4.75x) for Sun Dreams Group
| 2019 | 2018 | 2017 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Current gearing ratios: | Covenant | Actual | Covenant | Actual | Covenant | Actual |
| Debt to EBITDA | 4.5x | 2.5x | 4.5x | 3.0x | 4.75x | 2.8x |
The group complied with the above Loan Covenants through out the year.
There were no changes to the group's approach to capital management during the year. The
group is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
Financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method, are defined as follows:
- Level I quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
- Level 2 inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
- the fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the counter derivatives) is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2; or
- if one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.

29. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Credit risk management
This is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. Trade and other receivables $-$ refer to note 17
Cash and cash equivalents - refer to note 19
The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset determined to be exposed to credit risk.
The company has no significant concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables due to a widely dispersed customer base. Credit risk with respect to loans and receivables is disclosed in note I7.
Wherever a reference is made to trade receivables, as part of the note it includes both classes of trade receivables as set out in note 17: net trade receivables and casino debtors.
Impairment of financial assets
The group has two types of financial assets that are subject to the ECL model:
-
trade receivables - net receivables and casino debtors
-
financial instruments carried at amortised cost.
While cash and cash equivalents are also subject to the impairment requirements of IFRS 9: Financial Instruments, the identified impairment loss was immaterial.
Trade receivables and Casino Debtors
The group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring ECL which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. To
measure the ECL, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due.
On that basis, the loss allowance as at 31 December 2019 and 31 December 2018 (on adoption of IFRS 9: Financial Instruments) was determined as follows for trade receivables. Refer to note 17 for the analysis of net receivables and casino debtors presented separately.

29. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Trade receivables and casino debtors are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the group, and a failure to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 120 days pastdue.
Impairment losses on trade receivables and casino debtors are presented as net impairment losses within operating profit. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the same lineitem.
Liquidity risk management and capital risk management
Liquidity risk is the risk that the group will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The group has substantial borrowings and other financial liabilities.
To manage liquidity risk the group retains undrawn and available banking facilities, and will continue to remain cash generative.

29. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Market risk - interest rate risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The group has market risk related to variable rate instruments.
A 1% increase in interest rates would decrease profit after tax by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant.

| Profit after tax | (24) | (30) | 76) |
A 1% decrease in interest rates would have an equal but opposite effect to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.
Market risk - foreign exchange rate risk
The risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The group operates internationally and some of its financial assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency other than the presentation currency of the group (Rand).
A 10% strengthening in the ZAR against the currencies that the underlying balances are denominated in at 31 December 2019 would increase/(decrease) profit before tax by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant. The analysis was performed on the same basis for 31 December 2018.

A 10% weakening in the ZAR against these currencies would have an equal but opposite effect to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.
Market risk - price risk
This is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or by factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market.
The group doesn't have significant price risk exposure.
Fair value measurement
Certain financial instruments are either measured at fair value or the fair value is required to be disclosed. The fair values are set out in the individual notes to which this relates.

Estimated impairment of goodwill
The group tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment. The recoverable amounts of CGUs have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates. Refer to note 12.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS:
Judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Equity accounting of an entity where the percentage ownership is more than 50%
Management has applied judgement to conclude that the group does not control the newly incorporated Sun Dreams Colombia S.A.S. Entity, although the group currently holds a 60% equity stake the 40% equity holder has broad attributions in the decision- making of the company as well as manages the day-to-day operations. This resulted in a loss of control after applying the Application Guidance of IFRS 10 and therefore the Colombian entity is accounted in terms of equity accounting as per IAS:28 from 1 September 2019.

The principal accounting policies adopted in preparation of these financial statements are set out below:
GROUP ACCOUNTING
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are those entities (including structured entities) over which the group has control. The group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the group controls another entity.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group and are no longer consolidated from the date that control ceases.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the group. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the group's share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the statement of comprehensive income.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the group is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability are recognised in accordance with IFRS 9 either in profit or loss. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured, and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.
The company accounts for subsidiary undertakings at cost less impairments.
Disposal of subsidiaries
When the group ceases to have control any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value at the date when control is lost. with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
Equity-accounted investments
Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognised at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognise the investor's share of the profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition. The cost of associates or joint ventures that were former subsidiaries of the group is the fair value of the percentage investment retained on the date that control is lost. If the ownership interestin an associate or joint venture is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate. The group's investment in associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition.
The group's share of post-acquisition profit or loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, and its share of post- acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the investment.
Profits and losses resulting from upstream and downstream transactions between the group and its associate or joint venture are recognised in the group's financial statements only to the extent of unrelated investors' interests in the associates or joint ventures. Unrealised losses are eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the bolicies adobted by the group.
Impairment
The group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate or joint venture is impaired. If this is the case, the group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate or joint venture and its carrying value and recognises the amount adjacent to "share of profit/(loss) of equity-accounted investments" in the statement of comprehensive income.
Associates
Associates are all entities over which the group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the group's share of the net assets of theacquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Separately recognised goodwill is assessed for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The carrying value of goodwill is compared to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of value-in-use and the fair value less costs of disposal. When the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, it is written down immediately to its recoverable amount. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. The calculation of gains and losses on the disposal of an entity includes the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash generating units or groups of cash generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose.
Other intangible assets
Indefinite life intangible assets are not amortised and are assessed annually for impairment.
Expenditure on leasehold premiums anticipated, successful gaming licence bids, computer software and acquired management contracts are capitalised and amortised using the straight-line method as follows:
| Lease period | |
|---|---|
| Casino licenses | Period of the license and/or up to a maximum of 25 years |
| Customer Relationship | Turnover rate between 15% and 65% per year |
| License and software | 4 to 10 years |
| Trademarks | Indefinite life |
| Goodwill | Indefinite life |
The above intangible assets are accounted for at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.
Costs associated with developing or maintaining computer software programs are recognised as an expense as incurred. However, costs that are directly associated with identifiable and unique software products controlled by the group and which have probable economic benefits exceeding the costs beyond one year are recognised as intangible assets. Direct costs include employee costs of the software development team and an appropriate portion of the relevant overheads.
Bid costs on gaming licence bids are capitalised and subsequently amortised using the straight-line method over their useful lives, but not exceeding 25 years. Intangible assets are not revalued.
INVENTORY
Inventory comprises merchandise, consumables and food and beverage stock. Merchandise and consumables are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value on a first-in, first-out basis. Food and beverage stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value on a weighted average basis. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less any costs necessary to make the sale.
FOREIGN CURRENCYTRANSLATION
Items included in the financial statements of each of the group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in South African Rand for purposes of the circular.
Transactions and balances
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling on the transaction date. Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the end of the reporting period or payment date. Gains or losses arising on translation are credited to or charged to the statement of comprehensive income.
Foreign entities
The financial statements of foreign entities which are not accounted for as entities operating in hyperinflationary economies, that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into South African Rands as follows:
- assets and liabilities (including fair value adjustments arising from the acquisition of a foreign entity), at exchange rates ruling at the last day of the reporting period;
- income, expenditure and cash flow items at the weighted average exchange rates; and
- transactions with minorities and other equity items are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. $\bullet$
The results, cash flows and financial position of the group entities which are accounted for as entities operating in hyperinflationary economies and that have functional currencies different from the presentation currency of the group are translated into the presentation currency of its immediate parent at rates of exchange ruling at the reporting date. As the presentation currency of the group or that of the immediate parent is that of a nonhyperinflationary economy, comparative amounts are not adjusted for changes in the price level or exchange rates in the current year.
All resulting exchange differences are reflected as part of other comprehensive income. On disposal, such translation differences are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as part of the cumulative gain or loss on disposal.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Freehold land is included at cost and not depreciated.
All other items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets (other than freehold land) less the residual values over their useful life, using the straight-line method. The principal useful lives over which the assets are debreciated are as follows:
| Freehold and leasehold buildings | 10 to 50 years |
|---|---|
| Infrastructure | 5 to 50 years |
| Plant and machinery | 4 to 25 years |
| Furniture and fittings | 5 to 15 years |
| Operating equipment 1 | Based on usage (between 1 to 3 years) |
| Right of use assets held under leases | Shorter of the asset's useful life and the term of the lease |
I Operating equipment includes uniforms, casino chips, kitchen utensils, crockery, cutlery and linen.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
When the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, it is written down immediately to its recoverable amount.
Costs arising subsequent to the acquisition of an asset are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as abbrobriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is then derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.
IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS
Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to depreciation or amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to depreciation or amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units).
Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting period.
PRE-OPENING EXPENDITURE
Pre-opening expenditure is charged directly against income and separately disclosed. These costs include all marketing, operating and training expenses incurred prior to the opening of a new hotel or casinodevelopment.

CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAX
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity.
Deferred tax is provided in full, using the balance sheet method, for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying values for financial reporting purposes.
Current tax and deferred tax are calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date.
Deferred tax assets relating to the carry forward of unused tax losses are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses can be utilised in the foreseeable future.
Companies within the group may be entitled to claim special tax deductions for investments in qualifying assets or in relation to qualifying expenditure. The group accounts for such allowances as tax credits, which means that the allowance reduces income tax payable and current tax expense. A deferred tax asset is recognised for unclaimed tax.
Income tax credits related to assets are presented in the statement of financial position by deducting the income tax credit in arriving at the asset's carrying amount. The income tax credit income is recognised in the same period in which the asset is depreciated.
LEASES
The group has adopted IFRS 16 Leases and applied the simplified transition approach, the group will not restate comparative amounts for the vear brior. Right-of-use assets will be measured at the amount of the lease liability on adoption (adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease expenses) retrospectively from 1 January 2019, but has not restated comparatives for the 2018 reporting period, as permitted under the specific transition provisions in the standard.
On adoption of IFRS 16, the group recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as "operating leases" under the principles of IAS 17 Leases. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate as of I January 2019. The weighted average lessee's incremental borrowing rates applied accross the group to the lease liabilities on 1 January 2019 was at a range of between 8% and 10%. For leases previously classified as finance leases the entity recognised the carrying amount of the lease asset and lease liability immediately before transition as the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset and the lease liability at the date of initial application. The measurement principles of IFRS 16 are only applied after that date.
In applying IFRS 16 for the first time, the group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:
- accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at 1 January 2019 as short-term leases;
- excluding initial direct costs for the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application;
- using hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease;
- accounting for leases defined as a low value asset; and
- relying on previous assessments on whether leases are onerous as an alternative to performing an impairment review there were no onerous contracts as at 1 January 2019.
The group has also elected not to reassess whether a contract is, or contains a lease at the date of initial application. Instead, for contracts entered into before the transition date the group relied on its assessment made applying IAS 17 and Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease.
The group leases various land, buildings, hotels, and equipment. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods of six months to 20 years, but may have extension options. Until the 2018 financial year, leases of property, plant and equipment were classified as either finance leases or operating leases. From 1 January 2019, leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the group. $|ASI(117)|FRSI6(27)$ .
Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the measurement of the liability.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, which is generally the case for leases in the group, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions.
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:
- fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;
- variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
-
the exercise price of a purchase option if the group is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and

Impact for the 12-month period 31 December 2019
As a result of adopting IFRS 16, in relation to the leases that were previously classified as operating leases, the group's right-of-use assets carrying value as at 31 December 2019 was R287 million after accounting for depreciation (R48 million) during the 2019 period. Refer to note II.
In relation to the leases under IFRS 16, the group has recognised depreciation and interest costs, instead of operating lease expense. During the 31 December 2019 period, the group recognised R48 million of depreciation charges and R19 million of interest costs from these leases.
The impact of IFRS 16 on segment information and EBITDA was R54 million.
Lessor accounting
The group did not need to make any adjustments to the accounting for assets held as lessor under operating leases as a result of the adoption of IFRS 16.
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
The group records benefits to staff as salaries, bonuses and vacations on an accrued basis. These obligations are cancelled within a period not exceeding 12 months, only for current provisions.
SHARE CAPITAL
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Redeemable preference shares which carry a non-discretionary dividend obligation, are classified as liabilities (see accounting policy for borrowings).
External costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares, other than in a business combination, are shown as a deduction from the proceeds, net of income taxes, in equity.
Where any group company purchases the company's equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental costs apart from brokerage fees (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the company's equity holders until the shares are cancelled, reissued or disposed of. Where such shares are subsequently sold or reissued, any consideration received, net of any attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the company's equity holders.

Contract liability
Revenue from providing services is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. Revenue is recognised based on the actual service provided to the end of the reporting period as a proportion of the total services to be provided because the customer receives and uses the benefits simultaneously. As the upfront payments exceed the initial services rendered, a contract liability is recognised.
The following income streams are excluded from the scope of IFRS 15:
- Net gaming wins (included in total "Income"); and
- Rental income (included in "other income").
DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTIONS
Dividend distributions to the company's shareholders are recognised as a liability in the company's financial statements in the period in which the dividends are declared.
Dividends are recognised as other income in profit or loss when the right to receive payment is established.
SEGMENTAL REPORTING
Operating segments are reported in the manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision- maker (CODM). The CODM, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing the performance of the operating segments, has been identified as executive management.
The group owns and operates casino, hotel and properties in Chile, Peru, Argentina, Panama and Colombia. The executive management review the operations and allocate resources at a property level.
Segment results include revenue and expenses directly attributable to a segment. Segment assets and liabilities comprise those operating assets and liabilities that are directly attributable to the segment. Capital expenditure represents the total costs incurred during the period to acquire segment assets.
The group uses adjusted EBITDAR as a profit measure.
HYPERINFLATION
IAS 29: Financial reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies has been applied by Nuevo Plaza Hotel Mendoza S.A., a subsidiary of Sun International, whose functional currency is the Argentine peso. The economy of Argentina was assessed to be hyperinflationary, effective 1 July 2018, and hyperinflation accounting has been applied since, as if the economy has always been hyperinflationary. The results of this entity have been adjusted in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the year. The monetary gains or losses were immaterial for the current year.
The financial statements of the group entities whose functional currencies are the currencies of hyperinflationary economies are adjusted in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period. As the presentation currency of the group is that of a nonhyperinflationary economy, comparative amounts are not adjusted for changes in the price level or exchange rates in the current year. Differences between these comparative amounts and current year hyperinflation adjusted equity balances are recognised in other comprehensive income. The carrying amounts of non-monetary assets and liabilities are adjusted to reflect the change in the general price index from the date of acquisition to the end of the reporting period. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss if the restated amount of a non-monetary item exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Gains or losses on the net monetary position are recognised in profit or loss. All items recognised in the income statement are restated by applying the change in the general price index from the dates when the items of income and expenses were initially earned or incurred. At the beginning of the first period of application, the components of equity, except retained earnings, are restated by applying a general price index from the dates the components were contributed or otherwise arose. These restatements are recognised directly in equity as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. Restated retained earnings are derived from all other amounts in the restated statement of financial position. At the end of the first period and in subsequent periods, all components of equity are restated by applying a general price index from the beginning of the period or the date of contribution, if later. All items in the statement of cash flows are expressed in terms of the general price index at the end of the reporting period.
Accordingly, the results, cash flows and financial position of the group's subsidiary Nuevo Plaza Hotel Mendoza S.A have been expressed in terms of the measuring unit current at the reporting date.

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT ON THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF SUN DREAMS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEARS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019, 31 DECEMBER 2018 AND 31 DECEMBER 2017
To the directors of Sun International Limited
Our opinion
Sun International Limited is issuing a Circular to its shareholders (the "Circular") pursuant to the disposal of Sun International's remaining 50% shareholding in Sun Dreams Sociedad Anonima ("Sun Dreams") to Nueva Inversiones Pacifico Sur Limitada ("Pacifico") (the Transaction").
In our opinion, the consolidated historical financial information as set out in Annexure I of the Circular (the "Consolidated 2019 Historical Financial Information") presents fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Sun Dreams (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together the "Group") as at 31 December 2019, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the JSE Limited (JSE) Listings Requirements.
What we have audited
At your request and solely for the purpose of the Circular to be dated on or about 30 September 2020, we have audited Sun Dreams' Consolidated 2019 Historical Financial Information, which comprises:
- the consolidated statements of financial position as at 31 December 2019;
- the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the years then ended;
- the consolidated statements of changes in equity for the years then ended;
- the consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended; and
- the notes to the consolidated historical financial information, which include a summary of significant accounting policies.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Reporting accountant's responsibilities for the audit of the Consolidated 2019 Historical Financial Information section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the sections 290 and 291 of the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors' Code of Professional Conduct for Registered Auditors (Revised January 2018), parts 1 and 3 of the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors' Code of Professional Conduct for Registered Auditors (Revised November 2018) (together the IRBA Codes) and other independence requirements applicable to performing audits of financial statements in South Africa. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities, as applicable, in accordance with the IRBA Codes and in accordance with other ethical requirements applicable to performing audits in South Africa. The IRBA Codes are consistent with the corresponding sections of the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) respectively.
Purpose of this report
This report has been prepared for the purpose of the Circular and for no other purpose.
Responsibilities of the directors for the Consolidated 2019 Historical Financial Information
The directors of Sun International are responsible for the preparation, contents and presentation of the Circular and are responsible for ensuring that Sun International complies with the requirements of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements.
The directors of Sun Dreams are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the Consolidated 2019 Historical Financial Information in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of Consolidated 2019 Historical Financial Information that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Consolidated 2019 Historical Financial Information, the directors of Sun Dreams are responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Reporting accountant's responsibilities for the audit of the Consolidated 2019 Historical Financial Information
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated 2019 Historical Financial Information as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a reporting accountant's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this Consolidated 2019 Historical Financial Information.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Consolidated 2019 Historical Financial Information, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors of Sun Dreams.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors of Sun Dreams' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our reporting accountant's report to the related disclosures in the Consolidated 2019 Historical Financial Information or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our reporting accountant's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Consolidated 2019 Historical Financial Information, including the disclosures, and whether the Consolidated 2019 Historical Financial Information represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the Consolidated 2019 Historical Financial Information. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the directors of Sun International regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors of Sun International with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

At your request and for the purpose of the Circular to be dated on or about 30 September 2020, we have reviewed the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of Sun Dreams as at 31 December 2018 and 31 December 2017 and the related statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the twelve month period then ended, and the notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (the "Consolidated 2018 and 2017 Historical Financial Information"), as presented in Annexure I to the Circular, in compliance with the requirements of the JSE Listings Requirements.
Directors' responsibility
The directors of Sun International are responsible for the preparation, contents and presentation of the Circular and are responsible for ensuring that Sun Dreams complies with the requirements of the JSE Limited's Listings Requirements.
The directors of Sun Dreams are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the Consolidated 2018 and 2017 Historical Financial Information in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the JSE Listings Requirements, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated historical financial information that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Consolidated Historical Financial information, the directors of Sun Dreams are responsible for assessing Sun Dreams' ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate Sun Dreams or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Reporting accountant's responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Consolidated 2018 and 2017 Historical Financial Information. We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, which applies to a review of historical financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity. ISRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Consolidated 2018 and 2017 Historical Financial Information are not prepared in all material respects in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework. This standard also requires us to comply with relevant ethical requirements.
A review of financial statements in accordance with ISRE 2410 is a limited assurance engagement. We perform procedures, primarily consisting of making inquiries of management and others within the entity, as appropriate, and applying analytical procedures, and evaluate the evidence obtained.
The procedures in a review are substantially less than and differ in nature from those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the Consolidated 2018 and 2017 Historical Financial Information.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Consolidated 2018 and 2017 Historical Financial Information does not present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Sun Dreams as at 31 December 2018 and 31 December 2017 respectively, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the twelve months then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements.

The Right Offer closed on 7 August 2020 with 137,761,660 Rights Offer Shares at a value of R1,200.5 million.

The resultant interest saving has been calculated using a weighted average interest rate of 8.33% for the South African loans for the six-month period ended 30 June 2020 as follows:
| Rm | |
|---|---|
| Interest savings on SA term-loans settled | 60 |

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT ON THE PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF SUN INTERNATIONAL
To the Directors of Sun International Limited
Report on the Assurance Engagement on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information included in a Circular
We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of the pro forma financial information of Sun International (the "Company" or "Sun International") by the Directors. The pro forma financial information, as set out in Section 4.3 and Annexure 3 of the Circular to Shareholders to be dated on or about 30 September 2020 (the "Circular"), consists of the pro forma financial effects, the pro forma consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, the pro forma consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the six months ended 30 June 2020 and related notes (the "Pro Forma Financial Information"). The applicable criteria on the basis of which the directors have compiled the Pro Forma Financial Information are specified in the Listings Requirements and described in the Circular.
The Pro Forma Financial Information has been compiled by the directors to illustrate the impact of the disposal of Sun International's remaining 50% shareholding in Sun Dreams Sociedad Anonima ("Sun Dreams") to Nueva Inversiones Pacifico Sur Limitada ("Pacifico"), (the "Transaction"). As part of this process, information about the Company's consolidated financial position and consolidated financial performance has been extracted by the directors from the Company's interim financial statements for the six-month period ended 30 June 2020, which is unaudited.
DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITY
The Directors are responsible for compiling the Pro Forma Financial Information on the basis of the applicable criteria specified in the Listings Requirements and described in Annexure 3 of the Circular.
OUR INDEPENDENCE AND QUALITY CONTROL
We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of Sections 290 and 291 of the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors' Code of Professional Conduct for Registered Auditors (Revised January 2018) and parts 1 and 3 of the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors' Code of Professional Conduct for Registered Auditors (Revised November 2018) (together the IRBA Codes), which are founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour. The IRBA Codes are consistent with the corresponding sections of the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) respectively.
REPORTING ACCOUNTANT'S RESPONSIBILITY
Our responsibility is to express an opinion about whether the Pro Forma Financial Information has been compiled, in all material respects, by the directors on the basis of the applicable criteria specified in the JSE Listings Requirements and described in Annexure 3 of the Circular based on our procedures performed.
We conducted our engagement in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3420, Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. This standard requires that we plan and perform our procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Pro Forma Financial Information has been compiled, in all material respects, on the basis specified in the JSE Listings Requirements.
For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial information.
The purpose of Pro Forma Financial Information is solely to illustrate the impact of a significant event or transaction on unadjusted financial information of the company as if the event had occurred or the transaction had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the event or transaction would have been as presented.
A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the Pro Forma Financial Information has been compiled, in all material respects, on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by the directors in the compilation of the Pro Forma Financial Information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the event or transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:
- The related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and
- The Pro Forma Financial Information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.
The procedures selected depend on our judgment, having regard to our understanding of the nature of the Company, the event or transaction in respect of which the Pro Forma Financial Information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.
Our engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the pro forma financial information.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
OPINION
In our opinion, the Pro Forma Financial Information has been compiled, in all material respects, on the basis of the applicable criteria specified by the JSE Listings Requirements and described in Annexure 3 of the Circular.

An "X" in the appropriate box indicates the maximum number of votes exercisable by that Shareholder. Failure to comply with the above will result in the proxy not being authorised to vote or to abstain from voting at the General Meeting in respect of the Shareholder's votes, except in the case where the Chairperson of the General Meeting is the proxy. A Shareholder or his/her proxy is not obliged to use all the votes exercisable by the Shareholder, or to cast all those votes exercised in the same way, but the total of the votes cast and in respect whereof abstention is recorded may not exceed the total of the votes exercisable by the Shareholder.
