DISPOSAL BY TREMATON OF SHOPRITE CENTRE RUSTENBURG
1. Introduction and terms
Shareholders are advised that Trematon, through its 66.7%
subsidiary Arbitrage Property Fund (Pty) Ltd (“Arbitrage”),
has entered into a sale agreement which came into effect on
15 May 2013, in terms of which Arbitrage will dispose of
Erf 2460 Rustenburg, know as Shoprite Centre, Rustenburg,
to Heriot Properties (Pty) Ltd for a total consideration of
R77,4 million (“the disposal”).
The effective date of the disposal will be 1 October 2013
(“the effective date”).
The disposal is not subject to any outstanding conditions
precedent.
2. Settlement of the consideration
The total consideration of R77.4 million will be settled in
cash on the effective date. The proceeds will be used to
settle the outstanding bank debt on the property and the
balance will be retained to be invested in new property
investments as and when they arise.
3. Description of property and rationale for the disposal
The property is a retail centre known as Shoprite
Rustenburg Centre, situated at 110 Kerk Street,
Rustenburg, North West Province.
The disposal enables Arbitrage to realize an excellent
total return on investment on a relatively mature
property. The board of directors is of the opinion that
the proceeds of the disposal can be more productively
employed in funding similar future transactions.
4. Financial effects of the disposal
The unaudited pro forma financial effects of the disposal
which are based on the published interim group results of
Trematon for the six months to 28 February 2013 are set out
below.
The unaudited pro forma financial effects have been
prepared for illustrative purposes only to provide
information on how the disposal may have impacted on the
results, financial position and the changes in equity of
Trematon. Preparation of the unaudited pro forma financial
effects is the responsibility of the directors. Because of
their nature, the unaudited pro forma financial effects may
not fairly present Trematon’s results, financial position
and the changes in equity after the disposal:

Notes and assumptions:
1. The “before” financial information is based on
Trematon’s published interim results for the six
months to 28 February 2013.
2. The “after” pro forma earnings and headline earnings
are based on Trematon’s published interim results for
the six months to 28 February 2013 after taking into
account the pro forma adjustments set out below.
3. The unaudited pro forma earnings figures illustrate
the possible financial effects if the disposal had
been implemented on 1 September 2012 for income
statement purposes and on 28 February 2013 for balance
sheet purposes.
4. The adjustments and effects to the pro forma income
statement assume that the proceeds from the sale were
used to reduce the bank debt with the balance being
invested in a call account. All rental income and
related property expenses specific to the property
disposed of have been eliminated as they would not
have been earned had the property been sold at the
beginning of the period. The resulting tax adjustments
on the above have also been taken into account and
adjusted for.
6. The adjustments and effects to the pro forma balance
sheet resulting from the disposal assumes that the
property was sold at the end of the period and the
resulting profit from the sale less capital gains tax
increases the net asset value attributable to equity
holders of the Company.
5. Categorisation of the disposal
The disposal is categorised as a Category 2 transaction in
terms of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements.
