LINKED UNIT CAPITAL STRUCTURE TO AN ALL EQUITY CAPITAL STRUCTURE
The circular, setting out, inter alia, the rationale for the adoption of Growthpoint’s new

general meeting of Growthpoint linked unitholders, will be held at 09:30 on Friday, 28 June 2013
at Growthpoint’s Training Centre, 1st Floor, Block A, Sandton Close 2, Corner 5th and Norwich
Close, Sandton, Johannesburg. The general meetings are being called for the purposes of
approving the resolutions required for:
• The approval and adoption of Growthpoint’s new MOI which is aligned with the Companies
Act;
• The increase in the number of Growthpoint’s authorised shares from 2 billion to 4 billion;
and
• The conversion of Growthpoint’s existing linked unit capital structure to an all equity

eminent capital structures of international REITs.
