INDUSTRIA

1.     INTRODUCTION

       Shareholders are advised that on 25 July 2025 ("Signature Date"), Spear entered into a sale of rental
       enterprise agreement ("Agreement") with Consani Industrial Park (Pty) Ltd ("Seller"), in terms of which
       Spear will acquire the properties known as the Remainder of Erf 21212, Erf 13336 and Erf 13337,
       Goodwood, in the City of Cape Town, with all improvements thereon ("Property"), and the rental
       enterprise known as the "Consani Industrial Park" conducted by the Seller on the Property ("Rental
       Enterprise"), as a going concern ("Acquisition"), for a purchase consideration of R437 300 000
       ("Purchase Consideration"). The Seller is a subsidiary of Adrenna Property Group (Pty) Ltd, which is
       beneficially owned by the shareholders listed in footnote 1 below, none of which are related parties of
       Spear.

2.     RATIONALE FOR THE ACQUISITION

       The Acquisition aligns with Spear's strategy to grow its portfolio of well-located industrial assets within the
       Western Cape. Located in Elsie's River Industria, the Property enhances Spear's geographical
       diversification and strengthens its exposure to highly sought after industrial nodes in the region. Consani
       Industrial Park possesses strong fundamentals and favourable prospects for rental income growth and
       long-term capital appreciation. The Property is positioned within a secure, established industrial precinct
       that continues to attract large-format occupiers reliant on energy continuity and organic growth options
       within Consani Industrial Park. The Acquisition supports Spear's continued focus on securing assets that
       generate sustainable income and long-term value through long dated lease tenures and robust rental
       growth rates.

          ownership of the Property into its name ("Transfer Date") and shall be secured by a bank guarantee
