BNT - Bonatla - Detailed Cautionary Announcement in relation to the Disposal of Shares in and Claims Against Copper Moon Trading 249 (Proprietary) Limited, The Proposed Specific Repurchase of Shares in Bonatla and The Renewal of A Cautionary Announcement BONATLA PROPERTY HOLDINGS LIMITED Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa Registration Number 1996/014533/06 Share Code: BNT ISIN Number: ZAE000013694 ("Bonatla" or "the company") DETAILED CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT IN RELATION TO THE DISPOSAL OF SHARES IN AND CLAIMS AGAINST COPPER MOON TRADING 249 (PROPRIETARY) LIMITED, THE PROPOSED SPECIFIC REPURCHASE OF SHARES IN BONATLA AND THE RENEWAL OF A CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT 1. INTRODUCTION Shareholders are advised that an agreement has been signed between Bonatla and Globus Investments (Proprietary) Limited ("Globus Investments") in terms of which Bonatla has disposed of its shares in and claims against Copper Moon Trading 249 (Proprietary) Limited ("Copper Moon")for a total consideration of R29 161 200 ("the disposal"). The major asset of Copper Moon is a building located at erf 663, Hatfield Township, Pretoria, and with the physical address 1085 Hans Schoeman Street, Pretoria. 2. RATIONALE FOR THE DISPOSAL The major tenants of the building are vacating the property which is in need of major capital renovations which will cost approximately R10 million, before the building will be in a position to be able to be re-let once again. Furthermore the terminal rental levels are overcapitalised and no medium term growth is possible unless a renovation is undertaken, which renovation is not justified taking into account the location of the property as well. 3. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT The disposal is subject to the following conditions precedent: * The approval in writing of the board of Globus Investments; * The approval in writing of the board of Bonatla; and * The approval of the JSE Limited, Takeover Regulation Panel and any other regulatory body insofar as is necessary. The disposal is a Category One transaction in accordance with JSE Listings Requirements and accordingly shareholder approval is required. 4. CONSIDERATION AND PROPOSED SPECIFIC REPURCHASE OF SHARES The consideration for the disposal shall be paid by means of: * Satisfying the existing mortgage bond over the property in the amount of R11 700 000; * The transfer of 19 844 800 ordinary Bonatla shares held by Globus Investments, to Bonatla at a price of 25 cents per share ("the transfer"); and * The waiver by Globus Investments of an underwriting fee of R12 500 000 due to Globus by Bonatla ("the waiver"). The waiver is tantamount to a specific repurchase of shares as the quantum of the obligation in Bonatla`s accounts is R4 000 000 to be settled through the issue of 50 000 000 new shares at 8 cents per share and thus certain aspects of the agreement are considered to be defective by certain of the directors of the Bonatla board. The transfer and the waiver will result in a specific repurchase of shares by Bonatla from a non-related party to Bonatla and will require the approval of 75% of Bonatla shareholders. 5. OTHER INFORMATION RELATING TO THE DISPOSAL AND RENEWAL OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT The terms of the agreement are in the process of being renegotiated, including inter alia the consideration payable as well as the method of payment. Once the renegotiated terms are signed by all parties, an announcement including the pro forma financial effects relating to the disposal will be released. In the interim, shareholders are advised to continue to exercise caution when dealing in their Bonatla shares.
