Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa
(Registration number: 1998/005011/06)
Linked unit code: FVT ISIN: ZAE000034658
(“Fairvest” or “the Company”)
ACQUISITION OF NEW PROPERTY
1. THE NYANGA JUNCTION ACQUISITION
Linked unitholders of the Company are hereby advised that the
Company has entered into an agreement (“the Agreement”) with
Momentum Property Investments (Proprietary) Limited
(“Momentum”), to acquire all rights and obligations in
relation to the notarial lease held by Momentum (“Notarial
Lease”) over the properties situated at Erf 113702 Cape Town,
Erf 10315 Guguletu, Erf 113308 Cape Town and Erf 10172
Guguletu, all situated in the City of Cape Town and commonly
known as Nyanga Junction (“the Nyanga Junction Property”), and
the associated rental enterprise conducted on the Nyanga
Junction Property (“the Nyanga Junction Property
Acquisition”).
In order to procure the transfer of Momentum’s rights and
obligations in relation to the Notarial Lease to the Company,
the parties will procure the preparation and registration of a
notarial deed of assignment at the Deeds Office (“Deed of
Assignment”).
The effective date of the Nyanga Junction Acquisition shall be
the date of registration of the Deed of Assignment at the
Deeds Office which, subject to fulfilment of the conditions
precedent, is expected on or about 1 April 2013.
2. RATIONALE FOR THE ACQUISITION
The Nyanga Junction Acquisition is consistent with the
Company’s growth strategy whereby the Company will focus on
acquiring retail assets with a weighting in favour of non-
metropolitan areas and lower LSM sectors.
Situated at the Nyanga train station, the Nyanga Junction
Property is a prime example of commuter retail. At 10,079
square meters, the centre is the right size for its target
market and presents an opportunity for Fairvest, to further
its growth in the lower LSM retail market. Management is of
the view that by undertaking a phased upgrade of the centre,
the centre will attract a greater percentage of national
tenants resulting in an improvement in the tenant profile as
well as the lease expiry profile which has been managed by the
current owner to enable the redevelopment of the centre.
3. PURCHASE CONSIDERATION
The purchase consideration applicable to the Nyanga Junction
Acquisition is R58 000 000 (fifty eight million rand), which
includes VAT at the rate of 0%, payable in cash against
registration of the Deed of Assignment at the Deeds Office.
The Company will fund the purchase consideration through debt
and/or equity funding.
