PROPOSED DISPOSAL OF 101 DE KORTE AND UPDATE ON SUCCESSFUL TRANSFER OF UNISA HOUSE


A.    PROPOSED DISPOSAL OF 101 DE KORTE

1.    Introduction

      Delta shareholders are hereby advised that the Company (the "Seller") has entered into a sale of letting enterprise
      agreement (the "Agreement") with Vivid Yellow Investments Proprietary Limited (the "Purchaser"), to dispose
      of the property situated at 101 De Korte Street, Braamfontein, Johannesburg, including immovable and movable
      assets, and as more commonly known as "101 De Korte" (the "Property"), for a cash consideration of
      R25.0 million (the "Disposal Consideration") (the "Disposal").

2.    Rationale and use of proceeds

      As part of the Company's business and portfolio optimisation strategy, it was decided to dispose of assets which
      are no longer strategic to the Company and are deemed to be "non-core". In keeping with this strategy, the
      Company has taken a decision to dispose of the Property given its "non-core" status. The net proceeds from the
      Disposal will be utilised by the Company to reduce its debt balance.

3.    Terms and conditions of the Disposal

      3.1   Purchaser

            The ultimate beneficial owner of the Purchaser is Alon Kirkel. The Purchaser is not a 'related party' as
            defined in the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited ("JSE").

      3.2   Effective date

            The Disposal will become effective on 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 October 2025 (the "Transfer Date").

      3.3   Disposal Consideration

            The Disposal Consideration is R25 million exclusive of VAT, payable in cash, as follows:

            -    a non-refundable deposit of R2.5 million upon signature of the Agreement (which has already been
                 received), and

            -    R22.5 million secured by way of guarantees, acceptable to the Seller, which guarantees shall be
                 expressed as payable on the Transfer Date. The guarantees are to be delivered within sixty days
                 from the date of signature of the Agreement (the "Signature Date").

      3.4   Conditions precedent

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

            -    within 120 days after the Signature Date, the Seller has complied with the JSE Listings
                 Requirements (insofar as this may be applicable), and obtained such consents and approvals as may
                 be required; and

            -    within 120 days after the Signature Date, any requisite regulatory approvals for the implementation
                 of the Disposal having been obtained from the Competition Authorities (if applicable).

      3.5   Representations and warranties

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