         December 2012;
     •   are presented in a manner consistent with the format and

     Notes and assumptions:
     1. The “Pro forma after the transaction” column represents net
         asset value per linked unit and net tangible asset value per
         linked unit after the transaction and includes the effect of
         the transaction and transfer of the Greenstone Properties
         and Buildings 2 and 6 for a total purchase consideration of
         R137.909 million, including a purchase price increase of
         0.75% per month from 1 April 2013 to date of transfer on or
         about 31 July 2013 of approximately R7.770 million; all
         acquired as going concern assets. Debt of R121.018 million,
         owed by Greenstone to Investec Bank Limited has been assumed
         to have been settled in full.
     2. It has been assumed that the transaction is entirely equity
         funded by the issue of 23.590 million linked units in terms
         of a proposed rights offer at an assumed price of R11.40 per
         linked unit (this pricing is for illustrative purposes only
         and final pricing will be determined before the finalisation
         date).
         The estimated once-off transaction expenses of R2.229
         million will be paid from the proceeds raised via the
         proposed rights issue and capitalised to the respective
         Greenstone Properties and Buildings 2 and 6.

6.   RIGHTS OFFER

     5.1 Introduction
          Unitholders are advised that the directors have resolved to
          raise approximately R455 million by way of a renounceable
          rights offer of 39.912 million new linked units to its
          unitholders at a subscription price of R11.40 per rights
          unit   (“rights  offer   price”)(this  pricing  is for
          illustrative purposes only and final pricing will be
          determined before the finalisation date) in the ratio of
          33.08980 rights units for every 100 linked units held
          (“rights offer”). The rights offer price is based on the
          volume weighted average traded price on the JSE Limited
          over the 10 business days ended 21 May 2013. The rights
          units, once issued, will rank pari passu in all respects
          with the existing issued VPIF units.

     5.2   Purpose of the rights offer and use of the proceeds
           The purpose of the rights offer is to raise capital to fund
           the purchase consideration of the transaction set out above
           as well as to settle debt utilised in respect of previously
           announced acquisitions.

           The table below sets out the unaudited and unreviewed pro
           forma financial effects of the rights offer on net asset value

           The unaudited and unreviewed pro forma financial effects per
           unit:
           • are presented for illustrative purposes only and, because
             of their nature, may not fairly present the company’s
             financial position, changes in equity, results of
             operations and cash flows subsequent to the rights
             offer;
           • have been compiled, without adjustment, from the unaudited
             consolidated financial results for the six months ended 31
             December 2012; and

           Notes:
           1.   The effects relating to the net asset value and
                tangible net asset value per linked unit are based on
                the following assumptions and information:
                •   the rights offer was effective 31 December 2012;
                •   R455   million  was   received pursuant to the
                    subscription for the 39.912 million rights units;
                •   expenses of R2.409 million relating to the rights
                    offer were written off against reserves;
                •   the rights offer proceeds, net of transaction
                    costs, were utilised to settle the transaction
                    described above and R183.662 million of floating
                    debt.
           2.   The adjustments will have a continuing effect.

     5.4   Further announcements and circular
           Further announcements will be made in due course relating
           to the salient dates, pricing and any other matters
           pursuant to the rights offer.

           rights offer, will be mailed to unitholders in due course.
