("SA Corporate" or "the Fund")
ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING THE ACQUISITION OF A PROPERTY
1. Introduction
SA Corporate unitholders are advised that the Fund has entered into an
agreement with Basfour 3588 (Proprietary) Limited ("the Seller") dated 14
November 2011 ("the Agreement"), in terms of which SA Corporate will
acquire Portion 42 of Stand 59, Gosforth Park Extension 4 situated at
Silverstone Road, Raceway Industrial Park, Gosforth Park, Gauteng ("the
Property") together with all improvements thereon measuring approximately
50 266mSquared ("the Acquisition`) for a total purchase price of R415 467
000.
The effective date of the Acquisition ("the Effective Date") will be the
first business day after the fulfilment of the last of the conditions
precedent as set out in paragraph 4 below and is anticipated to be 1 March
2012.
2. Rationale for the Acquisition
The Acquisition is in line with the strategy of the Fund to acquire well
let, strategically positioned, high quality investment properties. The
Property is a well situated, premium distribution facility with first rate
covenants on long leases. The node and industrial park environment offers
growth potential in a market characterised by a shortage of supply of zoned
land and the accessibility of power which impacts on the availability of
industrial land for development. These factors serve to improve the long-
term sustainability of SA Corporate`s income while lowering its
distribution risk profile.
The property is situated within Raceway Industrial Park which was
previously known as Gosforth Park and is located next to the Rand Airport
and borders major highways such as the N17, N12 and N3.
3. Consideration for the Acquisition
The purchase consideration for the Acquisition is R415 467 000 ("the
Purchase Consideration"), payable in cash on the transfer date, which is
expected to be 1 March 2012.
The Acquisition will be financed through debt funding and/or disposal
proceeds.
4. Conditions precedent
The Acquisition is subject to:
4.1 the due diligence investigation being satisfactorily completed by
SA Corporate by 15 December 2011;
4.2 confirmation of the necessary funding and/or finance approval by
SA Corporate by 31 January 2012;
4.3 the Investment Committee of SA Corporate or its delegated
authority giving its written approval to the Acquisition by 31

4.4 Trustee approval to the Acquisition by 10 February 2012;
4.5 the Seller delivering to SA Corporate, by 20 December 2011 a copy
of the signed special resolution and, if applicable, the Seller
giving written confirmation to SA Corporate that a person who
voted against the special resolution has not :
(i) required the Seller to seek court approval of the
special resolution;
or
(ii) applied for the leave of a court to review the special
resolution and the Acquisition;
4.6 Raceway Industrial Park Property Owner`s Association giving its
written consent to the Acquisition and consenting to the deletion
of obsolete conditions of title in the title deeds created in
favor of Raceway Industrial Park Property Owner`s Association
and, should it be necessary, Raceway Industrial Park Property
Owner`s Association obtaining the written consent of Raceway
Industrial Park (Proprietary) Limited and Raceway Industrial Park
Phase IV (Proprietary) Limited, to the deletion of such
conditions by 29 December 2011;
4.7 if required by SA Corporate, that the sale of the Property is
advertised; and
4.8 the Competition Authorities approve the Acquisition
unconditionally or subject to such conditions acceptable to SA
Corporate and the Seller ("the Parties"), in terms of the
Competitions Act.
Should any of the conditions precedent set out in clause 4.1 to 4.8
not be fulfilled within the stipulated time periods or within such
extended time periods as the Parties may agree, the Agreement shall
lapse and will be of no further force or effect.
