## Mid-Market Mandate and Capital Allocation Strategy

Core Equity Fund II is structured to deploy growth and replacement equity into established, resilient mid-market enterprises across South Africa and the broader region. The vehicle targets businesses characterized by clear structural market demand, proven leadership teams, and long-term value creation potential across high-growth sectors.

The fund deploys check sizes generally ranging between **R100 million ($6.1 million)** and **R500 million ($30.3 million)**per transaction, providing institutional growth capital to mid-market operators expanding their core operations and market presence.

## Deployment Acceleration Across Software and Digital Infrastructure

Initial capital deployment from the vehicle has already funded platform acquisitions in two key high-growth companies. The fund backed enterprise software vendor **e4 Strategic**, whose core transaction engine has processed over **R2.8 trillion ($170 billion)** in mortgage transactions since inception across the South African banking and real estate ecosystem.

In addition, the fund invested in digital infrastructure operator **CYNK**, whose network footprint has expanded to cover more than **667,000 households**, extending broadband and digital access into historically underserved communities. Infinite Partners plans to deploy remaining capital across a active pipeline of mid-market transactions aimed at bolstering regional economic infrastructure.
