     1.8     the acquisition of 100% of the property known as “Virgin” situated at Century Boulevard,
             Century City, Cape Town held 100% by CCPIT; and

     1.9     the acquisition of any claims on loan account in favour of CCPIT against Insight Property
             Developers (Palmyra Road) Proprietary Limited (“Insight”) and the acquisition of 67
             ordinary shares in Insight, constituting 67% of the entire issued share capital of Insight,
             and held by CCPIT (collectively “the Sale Equity”). Insight holds a long term lease
             agreement (45 years) with the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa for the property
             known as Palmyra Junction situated at Erf 172014 (a portion of Erf 172013), Cape
             Town.

2.   Rationale for the Acquisitions

     The Properties have been acquired in line with the Company’s strategy to build a quality
     portfolio of assets focused in the Western Cape.

3.   Effective date of the Acquisitions

     Subject to the fulfilment (or waiver in certain instances) of the conditions precedent set out in
     paragraph 5 below, the Acquisitions will become effective on transfer which is anticipated to be
     on or about 1 September 2013 (“the Transfer Date”).

4.   Consideration for the Acquisitions

     The total consideration for the Acquisitions is R866 177 000 million (eight hundred and sixty six
     million one hundred and seventy seven thousand rand) (“the Purchase Consideration”), and
     shall increase by 7.5% (seven point five percent) per annum, calculated monthly, in the event
     that transfer is delayed beyond the Transfer Date. The Purchase Consideration will be
     discharged by Ingenuity as follows:

     4.1    by means of a cash payment equal to the mortgage finance obtained and accepted by
            Ingenuity;

     4.2    the balance of the Purchase Consideration by means of Ingenuity issuing renounceable
            letters of allotment to the Sellers for Ingenuity shares (“the Consideration Shares”) at a
            price of R0.85 per Consideration Share, provided that:

            4.2.1    CCPIT shall not be entitled to renounce its rights in respect of 200 000 000 (two
                     hundred million) Consideration Shares and shall be obliged to take transfer of
                     such Consideration Shares into its own name; and

            4.2.2    the remaining Sellers (other than CCPIT) shall be entitled, but not obliged, at
                     their election to take transfer of up to a maximum of 50 000 000 (fifty million)
                     Consideration Shares. Should the Sellers (other than CCPIT) elect not to take
                     transfer of some or all of the Consideration Shares, then such non-electing
                     Sellers shall be obliged to renounce their rights to the Consideration Shares
                     (“the vendor placement”).

     The Purchase Consideration is payable on the Transfer Date.

     The Agreement also provides for a Purchase Consideration adjustment in the event that the due
     diligence investigation reveals any variances to the capitalisation rates projected for the
     Properties. This may result in the Purchase Consideration being adjusted either upwards or
     downwards in terms of a predetermined formula as contained in the Agreement.

5.   Conditions precedent

     The Acquisitions are subject to fulfilment or waiver of the following conditions precedent:

     5.1    the board of directors of Ingenuity approving the Acquisitions;

     5.2    Ingenuity being satisfied with the results of a due diligence investigation;

     5.3    Ingenuity obtaining mortgage finance acceptable to discharge that portion of the
            Purchase Consideration which will not be funded by the issue of the Consideration
            Shares;

     5.4    the Competition Authorities approving the Acquisitions;

     5.5    the Company obtaining any regulatory consents to the extent required;

     5.6    the Company’s shareholders approving the Acquisitions as required in terms of the JSE
            Limited (“JSE”) Listings Requirements;

            agreement in respect of Insight;

     5.9    Ingenuity and Tokai Main concluding a co-ownership agreement which shall govern the
            terms and conditions upon which they will co-own Tokai on Main Office Park; and

            the terms and conditions upon which they will co-own Tokai on Main Retail.

1.     The Properties have been valued by the directors of the Company using the capitalisation of rental method. The
       Properties will be valued by an independent valuer as part of the due diligence process.

7.   Unaudited pro forma financial effects ("Financial Effects") of the Acquisitions

     Based on Ingenuity's audited consolidated results for the year ended 31 August 2012
     ("Results"), the Financial Effects of the Acquisitions on Ingenuity's earnings per share (EPS”),
     headline earnings per share (“HEPS”), net asset value per share (“NAV”) and net tangible asset
     value per share (“NTAV”) are set out below. The Financial Effects are prepared for illustrative
     purposes only, and because of their nature, may not give a fair presentation of Ingenuity's
     financial position or the effect and impact of the Acquisitions. The Financial Effects are the
     responsibility of Ingenuity's board and have not been reviewed or reported on by Ingenuity’s
     auditors.

                                                                   Before the                  After the               Change

      treasury shares(6)

     Notes:
     1.       Based on Ingenuity’s Results.
     2.       In calculating the Financial Effects, it was assumed that the Acquisitions were implemented on 1 September
              2011 for statement of comprehensive income purposes and on 31 August 2012 for statement of financial position
              purposes.
     3.       EPS is based on net income of the Acquisitions of R62.2 million and increased finance charges of R32.5 million
              on new borrowings. The resultant decrease in EPS is due to the increased number of shares in issue. Net
              income of the portfolio exceeds any straight line adjustment from the property known as “Estuaries No 1” as a
              condition of the acquisition is a renewal of the lease agreement with the tenant. No consideration is given to cost
              savings that may be achieved as a result of the Acquisitions.
     4.       HEPS increases by 112,50% which excludes all fair value adjustments.
     5.       The increase in NAV and NTAV is due to the market price of 85 cents per share used for the vendor placement.
              The price is 13% above the last reported NAV and NTAV.
     6.       Based on the assumption that a maximum number of 509 515 882 shares will be issued in terms of the vendor
              placement.

8.   Related party transaction

     As Ingenuity is transacting with entities in which a director of Ingenuity has certain minority
     interests, the Acquisitions are considered a “related party” transaction in terms of the JSE
     Listings Requirements. The Company is in the process of appointing an independent expert and
     the fairness opinion will be included in the circular to be sent to shareholders as referred to in
     paragraph 9 below.

9.   Categorisation of the Acquisitions

     The Acquisitions are categorised as a Category 1 transaction in terms of the JSE Listings
     Requirements and a circular containing details of the Acquisitions, revised listing particulars, the
     fairness opinion referred to in paragraph 8 above and a notice of general meeting will be posted
     to shareholders in due course.

10.   Withdrawal of cautionary announcement

      Shareholders are referred to the cautionary announcement dated 27 February 2013 and are
      advised that as the details of the Acquisitions have now been disclosed, caution is no longer
      required to be exercised by shareholders when dealing in the Company’s securities.
