FPT - Fountainhead Property Trust - Rights Offer Finalisation Announcement Fountainhead Property Trust JSE code: FPT ISIN: ZAE000097416 ("Fountainhead") a portfolio forming part of the Fountainhead Property Trust Scheme ("the Scheme"), a collective investment scheme in property established in terms of the Collective Investment Schemes Control Act, No. 45 of 2002, as amended, and managed by Fountainhead Property Trust Management Limited (Registration number 1983/003324/06) RIGHTS OFFER FINALISATION ANNOUNCEMENT 1. Introduction Fountainhead unitholders are referred to the rights offer declaration announcement released on the Securities Exchange News Service ("SENS") of the JSE Limited ("JSE") on 21 February 2011 and in the South African press on 22 February 2011 in which Fountainhead announced the terms of its R1.0 billion rights offer (the "Rights Offer"). 2. Terms of the Rights Offer In terms of the Rights Offer, 166 666 667 new Fountainhead units ("Rights Offer Units") will be offered for subscription to Fountainhead unitholders recorded in the register at 17h00 on the record date for the Rights Offer, being Friday, 18 March 2011 ("Qualifying Unitholders"), on the basis of 16.73288 new Fountainhead units for every 100 Fountainhead units held by such unitholders, at 600 cents per Rights Offer Unit. Applications for additional Rights Offer Units will be allowed. The Rights Offer has not been underwritten. The Rights Offer price has been calculated on the basis that the Rights Offer Units will qualify for the full distribution in respect of the six-month period ended 30 March 2011, notwithstanding the date of the allotment and issue of such Rights Offer Units. The Rights Offer price accordingly includes a prepaid distribution of 27.71 cents, being an estimate of the distribution that will be paid for the six- month period 1 October 2010 to 31 March 2011. This estimate has not been reviewed by nor reported on by Fountainhead`s external auditors. This has been done to ensure that the Rights Offer does not dilute Fountainhead`s distribution to existing unitholders for the period in question. The amount received in respect of prepaid distributions will be recognised as income to Fountainhead. 3. Conditions precedent All conditions precedent to the Rights Offer have now been fulfilled: - approval of the Rights Offer circular has been obtained from the Registrar of Collective Investment Schemes; - approval of the Rights Offer circular has been obtained from the South African Reserve Bank; - approval of the Rights Offer circular has been obtained from the JSE; and - approval of the listing of the letters of allocation and the listing of the Rights Offer Units has been obtained from the JSE. 4.
