SALE OF PROPERTY RENTAL ENTERPRISE TO DULU HOLDINGS PROPRIETARY LIMITED



1. INTRODUCTION

    Shareholders are advised that on 16 September 2022, Imbali Props 21 Proprietary Limited (“Imbali” or
    “the Seller”) (a subsidiary of Tradehold), concluded an agreement (“the Agreement”) with Dulu
    Holdings Proprietary Limited (“Dulu Holdings” or “the Purchaser”) to dispose of a property rental
    enterprise conducted in relation to a property (“the Property”) (“the Property Rental Enterprise”) (“the
    Disposal”), details of which are contained in paragraph 7 below.

    Dulu Holdings, a Black Economic Empowerment property investment company that is not a related
    party to Tradehold, will acquire the Property Rental Enterprise from Imbali on a going concern basis.
    After the implementation of the Disposal, Dulu Holdings will also become the registered owner of the
    Property.

    The Property is tenanted by Nampak Products Limited (“Nampak”) and is subject to a 15-year lease
    agreement that was entered into between Imbali and Nampak on 28 June 2016

    A separate lease agreement, which is yet to be entered into between Nampak and Imbali in relation to
    the Property (“the Standalone Lease Agreement”), will form part of the Property Rental Enterprise
    and the Seller will cede its rights and delegate its obligations under the Standalone Lease Agreement
    to the Purchaser, as part of the Disposal.

2. RATIONALE FOR THE DISPOSAL

    The Seller’s business operations include property development and letting.

    The primary reason for the Seller disposing of the Property Rental Enterprise is to reduce concentration
    risk and recycle capital for offshore investment. Imbali will retain ownership of a high quality portfolio of
    industrial properties tenanted by Nampak from which consistent rental income is derived.

3. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATION

    The aggregate consideration in respect of the Disposal is R210,550,000 (“the Disposal
    Consideration”), which will be utilised partly to reduce gearing and partly for reinvestment in offshore
    opportunities.

    The Disposal Consideration shall be payable, in cash, upon the registration of transfer of the Property
    into the name of Dulu Holdings.
4. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

    The Disposal is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

               Lease Agreement;
           - notify the Seller, in writing, that the Purchaser has raised sufficient bank funding to

           - deliver to the Seller a copy of a resolution passed by the Purchaser’s board of directors
               approving the terms of the Agreement;

       - by 28 February 2023,:
           -     the Disposal shall be approved by the relevant competition authority (in terms of the
                 Competition Act (No. 89 of 1998)), either unconditionally or conditionally upon terms and
                 conditions which both the Seller and the Purchaser confirm in writing to be acceptable to
                 them; and
