Fairvest Property Holdings Limited
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.
