(“GoGlobal” or “the company”)

 ABRIDGED PRE-LISTING STATEMENT REGARDING THE INWARD LISTING OF
 GOGLOBAL PROPERTIES LIMITED ON THE ALTERNATIVE EXCHANGE OF THE JSE

This abridged pre-listing statement relates to:

- an offer to invited investors only to subscribe for up to 250 000 GoGlobal shares (“the private
  placement”) at an issue price payable in Rand which is equivalent to GBP1.00 per share determined at
  the prevailing GBP:ZAR exchange rate at 12:00 on Tuesday, 23 April 2013 as per the Bloomberg spot
  rate; and
- the listing on the Alternative Exchange (“AltX”) of the JSE of up to 500 000 GoGlobal shares (“the
  listing”).

This abridged pre-listing statement is not an invitation to the public to subscribe for shares in the company,
but is issued in compliance with the JSE Listings Requirements for the purposes of giving information to the
public in relation to GoGlobal and to invited investors in relation to the private placement.

This announcement contains the salient information in respect of GoGlobal, which is more fully described in
the pre-listing statement which was issued to invited investors today (“the pre-listing statement”). For a
full appreciation of GoGlobal, the private placement and the listing, the pre-listing statement should be read
in its entirety.

1.    Introduction
      During March 2013 GoGlobal issued a prospectus relating to the listing of GoGlobal’s shares on the
      Official List of the Bermuda Stock Exchange (“BSX”).

      The share capital of GoGlobal was admitted to trading on the BSX on 15 March 2013 and this
      constitutes its primary listing.

      The JSE has granted GoGlobal a secondary listing on the AltX under the abbreviated name:
      “GoGlobal”, JSE share code: “GGP” and ISIN code: “BMG945551023”, with effect from the
      commencement of trade on Monday, 29 April 2013.

2.    Background to GoGlobal
      The company was incorporated in Bermuda on 26 October 2012 in accordance with the applicable
      laws of Bermuda.

3.    Investment policy
      GoGlobal has a primary objective of investing in real estate companies and assets that are high-
      yielding with the prospect of generating an income return for shareholders coupled with potential
      capital appreciation.
                                                                                                             2


     Initially GoGlobal will seek to acquire small stakes in large United Kingdom (“UK”) and European
     real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and may look in time to acquire controlling interests in
     selected small listed UK REITs.

     GoGlobal will actively pursue attractive opportunities to invest in direct property assets.

     GoGlobal’s direct property investment will focus on investing in higher-yielding commercial
     properties throughout the UK and other European jurisdictions, with predominantly strong covenants
     and with a weighted average lease term for the portfolio in excess of five years.

     GoGlobal will not have a particular sector focus. However, it is anticipated that the bulk of the
     investments will be in the retail and office and industrial warehousing and distribution sectors.

     GoGlobal will receive regular distributions from its holdings of listed real estate securities and income
     from its direct property assets which it will aggregate and pay over to investors as dividends in
     accordance with GoGlobal’s dividend policy.

     Further information on the company’s investment policy and investment process is provided in the
     pre-listing statement.

4.   JSE listing
     It is envisioned that the company’s primary listing on the BSX will provide access to a global investor
     base of managed funds, high net worth individuals and other sources of capital.

     The promoters consider that GoGlobal will present an attractive opportunity to South African investors
     and that a secondary listing on the JSE’s AltX will enhance GoGlobal’s ability to raise capital.

5.   Promoters and management
     The promoters of GoGlobal, Gerald Leissner and Pauline Goetsch, were involved in establishing
     ApexHi Property Fund (“ApexHi”), a UK REIT which listed on the Channel Islands Stock Exchange
     in August 2011.

     The promoters have a successful track record in raising funding. To date they have raised £31 million
     of equity. Mr Leissner has been active in the property sector for close to 50 years and has accumulated
     a wealth of experience and forged relationships with the property investment community in South
     Africa.

     ApexHi has invested £31 million in a portfolio of commercial properties. Against the back drop of
     fragile economic conditions in the UK, the availability of capital in the UK remains constrained.
     Accordingly, the promoters are looking to establish a vehicle that can access the South African capital
     base.

     Mr Leissner has been appointed as the chief executive officer of GoGlobal and Mrs Goetsch as its
     financial director.

6.   Share capital and distribution policy
     The share capital of the company immediately before the private placement and the listing is 250 000
     ordinary shares with a par value of £0.000001 per share. Assuming that all of the shares are subscribed
     for in terms of the private placement, the issued share capital of the company will be 500 000 ordinary
     shares with a par value of £0.000001 per share.
                                                                                                            3


     Subject to the laws of Bermuda, the directors have absolute discretion as to the payment of any
     dividends, including interim dividends, on the shares. Any dividends will be paid in accordance with
     the laws of Bermuda.

     No shares of the company are currently in issue with a fixed date on which entitlement to dividends
     arises and there are no arrangements in force whereby future dividends are waived or agreed to be
     waived.

7.   Details of the private placement
     The private placement comprises an offer to invited investors only to subscribe for up to a maximum
     of 250 000 GoGlobal shares at an issue price payable in Rand which is equivalent to GBP1.00 per
     share determined at the prevailing GBP:ZAR exchange rate at 12:00 on Tuesday, 23 April 2013 as per
     the Bloomberg spot rate.

     There is no minimum amount which, in the opinion of the directors, must be raised pursuant to the
     private placement.
