PROPOSED DISPOSAL OF DOMUS PROPERTY

1.    Introduction
      Delta shareholders are hereby advised that the Company (“Seller”) has entered into an agreement
      (“Agreement”) with Pacificus Developments Proprietary Limited (“Purchaser”), represented by Panayiotis
      Alexander Michaletos, to dispose of the property located at 57 Kasteel Road, Lynnwood Glen, Pretoria, together
      with all buildings and improvements thereon, as more commonly known as “the Domus”, including the rental
      enterprise conducted thereon (the “Property”) for a consideration of R25 million (“Disposal Consideration”)
      (“Disposal”).

2.    Rationale and use of proceeds
      The Disposal is consistent with the Company's strategy to reduce its gearing. The proceeds of the Disposal will
      be used to repay existing debt facilities of the Company.

3.    Terms and conditions of the Disposal
      3.1   Sale
            The Seller has agreed to sell, and the Purchaser has agreed to purchase the Property as a going concern
            and an income-earning activity, with effect from, and inclusive of the date on which the registration of
            transfer of the Property into the name of the Purchaser is effected, which date the Company anticipates
            will be approximately 31 May 2021.

      3.2   Disposal Consideration
            The Disposal Consideration payable for the Property by the Purchaser is R25 million exclusive of VAT (at
            a rate of zero percent), payable in cash.

      3.3   Conditions precedent
            There are no outstanding conditions precedent in respect of the Agreement.

      3.4   Representations and warranties
            The Agreement contains representations and warranties by the parties in favour of one another which
            are standard for a transaction of this nature.

4.    Financial and property-related information in respect of the Property
      Location:                                             57 Kasteel Road, Lynnwood Glen, Pretoria
      Gross lettable area:                                  5,454m2
      Weighted average rental as at 31 August 2019:         R105.88/m2
      Net operating income¹:                                R2,1 million
      Original purchase price of the Property²:             R41,8 million
      Effective date of acquisition of the Property:        01 April 2016
      Value of the Property as at 31 August 2019³:          R52 million
    
     Notes:
     1.   The net operating income in respect of the Property has been extracted from the Company’s results for
          the interim period ended 31 August 2019, which were prepared in terms of International Financial
          Reporting Standards. The net operating income achieved for the period from 1 March 2020 to 31
          December 2020 was significantly less due to the large vacancy of 58.6%.
     2.   Includes any other expenditure incurred by the Company in connection with the acquisition of the
          Property.
     3.   The valuation was performed as at 31 August 2019 by Realworx Property Valuations, who is independent
          from the Company and registered as a professional valuer in terms of the Property Valuers Profession
          Act, No. 47 of 2000.
     4.   The financial information in this announcement is the responsibility of the directors of Delta and has not
          been reported on or reviewed by a reporting accountant.

5.   Categorisation
     Based on the last traded price per Delta ordinary share prior to its suspension on 15 December 2020, the
     Disposal is classified as a Category 2 transaction for the Company, which merely requires an announcement.
     However, the Company is requesting a ruling from the JSE to determine the Disposal’s categorisation, given the
     Company’s suspension, and will advise shareholders should this not be as aforementioned.
