Cape Gourmet Food Festival is a South African exhibition entity that is the organiser of the agrifood exhibition, Good Food & Wine Show, which is held each year in Johannesburg, CapeTown and Durban. The exhibitions attract a total of 150,000 visitors that include operators in the agrifood sector and major South African retail distributors of food products.

This acquisition involves an investment of 54.0 million South African rand (Euro 5.3 million). 80% of this figure, or 43.2 million South African rand (Euro 4.3 million), is payable on finalisation of the contract to purchase the shares whilst the remaining amount will be paid in two tranches that are dependent on the Good Food & Wine Show achieving certain gross profit targets for the 2012 and 2013 financial years. Should these targets fail to be reached, the purchase price will be proportionally reduced.
