Trustco Group Holdings Ltd (“Trustco”) announced that the founding family shareholder of Trustco, and the Group Chief Executive Officer, Dr Quinton van Rooyen, have received a private acquisition offer from VeldBridge Holdings Ltd, a Cayman Islands-incorporated investment company.

The offer encompasses Dr van Rooyen’s entire shareholding in Trustco. Additionally, VeldBridge seeks to acquire debt assets, that include both interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing components, subordinated and first-ranked obligations, as well as secured and unsecured claims totaling NAD 5,053,073,500 (USD 281 million). This is held by the family against various Trustco entities, with the family currently holding 71% of long-term debt across the group.

In terms of the offer, VeldBridge or any of its subsidiaries would provide Trustco with access up to USD 250 million (NAD 4.5 billion) in debt financing at interest rates not exceeding 6.5% per annum. The transaction would also require Trustco to withdraw its current application for a NASDAQ listing under the “TRCO” ticker, enabling VeldBridge to pursue its own international listing strategy.

From Left: Quinton Z van Rooyen, Deputy CEO of Trustco Group Holdings, Advocate Raymond Heathcote SC, Chairman of the Board of Trustco Group Holdings, and Dr Quinton van Rooyen, Group MD of Trustco Group Holdings Limited.

“This offer represents an exciting opportunity for Trustco to accelerate plans for listing on a senior US stock exchange,” said Quinton Z van Rooyen, Deputy CEO of Trustco Group Holdings. “The proposed capital investment of up to USD 250 million (NAD 4.5 billion) would allow the group to pursue growth opportunities and represents another vote of confidence in Trustco’s ability to generate superior returns for its investors.”

“The family has taken note of the offer. We will now engage with like-minded shareholders and debtholders, while pursuing the required regulatory clearances. Namibia recently attracted high-value, long-term growth investment capital, and this is no different. Namibia and its people deserve the confidence that investors place in its prospects, because they earned it over a long time”, said Dr Quinton van Rooyen, Group MD of Trustco Group Holdings Limited.

“This transaction aligns with the long-term interests of Trustco, and we believe has the potential to unlock significant shareholder value.  This approach better reflects the intrinsic underlying value of our business and will enable us to capitalize on the tremendous growth prospects that attracted me 15 years ago as Chairman of this Group. The Board and I are always challenged to think dynamically, and we remain committed to doing what is best for our shareholders,” said Advocate Raymond Heathcote SC, Chairman of the Board.

VeldBridge structured the offer through an equity exchange mechanism, offering Dr Quinton van Rooyen or his Nominee over 7.3 billion common shares and 5,000 Series B preferred shares in the acquiring company. The Series B preferred shares would provide Dr van Rooyen with majority voting control in VeldBridge, which intends to pursue a public listing on either NASDAQ or the New York Stock Exchange by the first quarter of 2026.

In addition, Dr van Rooyen would be appointed to VeldBridge’s board of directors. The offer includes a 12-month lock-up period on VeldBridge shares held by Dr van Rooyen following the anticipated public listing.

VeldBridge has also committed to establishing a non-profit foundation in Namibia, providing seed capital of up to USD 5 million (NAD 90 million) for social upliftment projects and community development initiatives. This foundation would operate independently to benefit Namibian communities and support local development programs.

The offer remains valid for acceptance until 21 working days after VeldBridge formally notifies Dr van Rooyen of its application to either NASDAQ or NYSE for listing approval or the withdrawal of Trustco’s NASDAQ application, whichever date is last. Regulatory and foreign exchange approvals will be required where applicable. The transaction is subject to required regulatory approvals and definitive agreements being concluded on acceptance of the offer, of which the terms may vary from the offer.

The Board notes that VeldBridge is entitled to privately negotiate with any other Trustco shareholders to acquire some or all of their shares, while Trustco remains entitled to repurchase any of its issued shares. The Board of Trustco acknowledges that this is a private offer made directly to Dr van Rooyen in his capacity as a shareholder and creditor and has not been asked to provide a recommendation on the offer at this time.

Shareholders and investors are advised that the Company will issue further announcements regarding any material developments related to this offer as appropriate.

GILI TRAWANGAN, Indonesia — Positioned as one of the most sought-after locations for professional scuba diving education, the IDC Gili Trawangan has emerged as a pivotal training destination for divers aiming to elevate their careers to the PADI Instructor level. The program’s exceptional reputation is built upon its comprehensive curriculum, practical focus, and longstanding commitment to professional excellence.

The course is conducted at Blue Marlin Dive Gili Trawangan, the island’s original and longest-operating PADI 5-Star IDC Center. With over three decades of experience, the center provides a vibrant and authentic environment for developing scuba professionals. Surrounded by the biodiverse reefs of the Gili Islands, IDC Gili Trawangan offers direct access to ideal training conditions year-round.

Leading the program is Platinum PADI Course Director Holly Macleod, a recognized figure in global dive education with over 23 years of international field experience. Having trained more than 3,500 instructors, Course Director Macleod brings real-world insight, instructional precision, and mentorship that extends beyond certification. Her consistent recognition with the prestigious PADI Platinum status for 13 consecutive years reflects both dedication and results.

The IDC Gili Trawangan program is more than a certification process; it is an industry-oriented preparation course that enables candidates to seamlessly transition into professional dive careers. Training includes classroom instruction, confined water sessions, open water evaluations, and a strong emphasis on communication, problem-solving, and in-depth knowledge of dive theory.

Unlike standard programs, the IDC in Gili Trawangan integrates realistic simulations, equipment management, and teaching practice with student-level divers, enabling candidates to refine their skills in live, operational environments. The structured format also includes guidance on industry ethics, safety protocols, and environmental awareness, preparing candidates to meet the responsibilities of the modern dive professional.

Scheduled IDC programs for the remainder of 2025 are as follows:

• August 6 – August 27
• September 10 – October 1
• October 15 – November 5
• November 19 – December 10

Each intake maintains limited enrollment to ensure personalized attention and direct mentorship. Candidates complete the program fully prepared for the PADI Instructor Examination (IE) and often receive job offers from international dive operations shortly thereafter.

Graduates of the IDC Gili Trawangan program have gone on to work in world-renowned diving destinations across Southeast Asia, Central America, the Mediterranean, and the Red Sea. The program’s reputation for producing confident, capable, and safety-conscious instructors continues to attract aspiring professionals from around the world.

With global interest in marine conservation and recreational diving on the rise, the need for qualified and responsible scuba educators has never been more urgent. IDC Gili Trawangan is playing a vital role in addressing this demand, shaping the future of dive instruction through rigorous training and a deep commitment to quality.
