PROPOSED DISPOSAL OF STANDARD BANK GREYVILLE

1.     Introduction
       Delta shareholders are hereby advised that the Company (“Seller”) has entered into an agreement (“Agreement”) with Zeder
       Trading Proprietary Limited (“Purchaser”) to dispose of its property situated at 96 First Avenue, Greyville, Durban, together
       with all buildings and improvements thereon, as more commonly known as “Standard Bank Greyville” (the “Property”), for a
       cash consideration of R44.0 million (“Disposal Consideration”).

2.     Rationale and use of proceeds
       The Delta board of directors (“Board”) continues to confirm the strategy for the Company as being underpinned by the
       Sovereign, with a more refined approach to the definition of Sovereign. As part of the 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.
       Standard Bank Greyville is considered one such asset.

       The net proceeds (net of commission) will be utilised by the Company to reduce debt and the Loan to Value (LTV) by 0.2%
       from 58.2% to 58.0% and to reduce vacancy levels by 0.4% from 33.9% (31 August 2022) to 33.5%.
