4. Equity Ownership The principles underpinning the discussions of the Equity Deals • The long term objective of BEE is the normalisation of South African society and it therefore has a number of facets all of which are included in the Oil Industry charter. • The main criteria for success of the transaction are -whether it is aligned with the equity objectives of the Oil Industry Charter -whether it is sustainable • Because of FDI considerations any action on BEE must be perceived positively by the international investment community and that includes the shareholders of multinationals. • The equity element of the charter was transacted by the parties, assisted by their professional advisors on a willing buyer/willing seller basis. • To achieve a successful transaction, two key variables need to be balanced and traded off -sources of capital -where risk is carried
