            2.4.1     on or before the expiry of a due diligence period of 30 days (“Due Diligence”),

                      to exercise its right of first refusal within the time period provided in the relevant
                      lease.

            In addition, the Sale Agreement will be subject to the following suspensive conditions
            within 120 days after the signature of the Sale Agreement:

            •         the parties obtaining shareholder approval and/or JSE approval, to the extent
                      required; and

            •         to the extent necessary, any prior written approval required from the
                      Competition Authorities has been obtained in respect of the implementation of
                      the Enkai Disposal as a whole, provided that if such approval is granted
                      conditionally or on terms, this suspensive condition will not be regarded as
                      having been fulfilled unless the parties confirm in writing (by no later than the
                      expiry of the said time period) to each other that such conditions and terms are
                      acceptable to them.

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

3.    Rationale and use of proceeds

      As part of Delta’s strategy, and the optimisation of the portfolio, it was agreed that the disposal
      of assets which were no longer strategic to the Company would be undertaken. The DMFT Sale
      Properties and the Enkai Sale Property are considered such assets.
      The net proceeds of R71.3 million (net of commission) will be utilised by the Company to reduce
      debt and the Loan to Value (LTV) by 0.3% from 58.2% to 57.9%.

      Sale Property
