Co-founder of Vantage Capital

Colin Rezek is the Co-founder of Vantage Capital and he was previously it’s Managing Partner. He was responsible for the origination and assessment of mezzanine fund and
balance-sheet investments.

Rezek has had a wide range of entrepreneurial experiences over the years. The main focus
was building and running the Rezek Motor group with his two brothers over a 13 year period.
The group grew from one dealership to the largest privately-owned motor group in South
Africa at the time, before being merged with a listed group, Venture Motor Holdings, in 1994. At this time, the turnover of the Rezek Motor group was R450 million and it employed 440
people. Over this period various complementary businesses were started, such as short term insurance, import/export and panel-beating.

he also established the largest Ultra City in South Africa which employed 230 people. This
business has since been sold. In 1998 and 1999, Colin assisted in the establishment and
management of the Equity Africa Fund. The Equity Africa Fund is a R100 million fund sponsored by ABSA aimed at developing previously-disadvantaged individuals.

Subsequently, Rezek established MMR Equity Capital, a private equity management
company, which after a merger in 2001, was the genesis of the Vantage Capital group.
