ACQUISITION OF REMAINING SHARES NOT ALREADY HELD IN ARBOUR TOWN PROPRIETARY LIMITED AND CLAIM ON LOAN ACCOUNT


1.   INTRODUCTION
     Resilient, which currently owns 10% of the issued share capital of Arbour Town Proprietary Limited
     (“Arbour Town”), has concluded an agreement with Marketcorp Holdings 46 Proprietary Limited
     (“Marketcorp”), L Peens, J Peens, S Peens, A Beauregard and R Parbhoo to acquire the remaining
     90% of the issued share capital of Arbour Town together with Marketcorp’s claim on loan account
     against Arbour Town (the “Arbour Town acquisition”).

2.   RATIONALE
     The Arbour Town acquisition is in line with Resilient’s strategy of investing in dominant regional
     retail properties.

3.   DETAILS OF THE ARBOUR TOWN ACQUISITION
     Resilient will acquire the remaining 90% of the shares in and claims on loan account against Arbour
     Town that it does not already own. The effective date of the acquisition will be 15 days after the
     condition referred to in 4 below is met (the “effective date”).
     Prior to the Arbour Town acquisition by Resilient, Arbour Town has disposed of a 25% undivided
     share in the rental enterprises referred to below to Fortress Income 2 Proprietary Limited (“Fortress”)
     (the “Fortress disposal”). The Fortress disposal is subject to the suspensive condition that on or
     before 31 March 2014 the shareholder/s of Arbour Town pass a unanimous resolution approving the
     Fortress disposal, failing which the Fortress disposal will never become of any force or effect.
     Accordingly, as a result of the Arbour Town acquisition and the Fortress disposal, Resilient will
     effectively own a 75% interest in The Galleria and Arbour Crossing. The Galleria (Erf 237
     Umbogintwini Registration Division ET KwaZulu-Natal) is a shopping centre of 88 443 square
     metres, the weighted average net rental per square metre of which is currently R135.52 per square
     metre. Arbour Crossing (Portion 2 of Erf 235 Umbogintwini Registration Division ET KwaZulu-
     Natal) is a shopping centre of 39 786 square metres, the weighted average net rental per square metre
     of which is currently R85.66 per square metre.

4.   TERMS AND CONDITION PRECEDENT
     The purchase price of R1 937 430 000 payable in respect of the Arbour Town acquisition is payable
     by Resilient in cash on the effective date. Resilient will receive R548 611 111 in cash from the
     Fortress disposal resulting in a net purchase price of R1 388 818 889.
     In the event that the effective date is delayed beyond 30 November 2013, the purchase price will be
     increased by an amount of R340 000 per day with effect from 1 December 2013 to the effective date.
     The agreement governing the Arbour Town acquisition (the “Arbour Town acquisition agreement”)
     provides for warranties and indemnities that are standard for acquisitions of this nature.
     The Arbour Town acquisition is subject to the suspensive condition that the Competition Commission
     or the Competition Tribunal approves the implementation of the Arbour Town acquisition within 90
     days from the date of signature of the Arbour Town acquisition agreement, failing which the Arbour
     Town acquisition agreement will never become of any force or effect.

     Notes and assumptions:
     1.    The amounts set out in the “Unadjusted before the Arbour Town acquisition” column have been
           extracted, without adjustment, from the preliminary summarised audited consolidated financial
           statements of Resilient for the six months ended 30 June 2013.
     2.    The Arbour Town acquisition is assumed to be implemented on 1 January 2013 for the statement
           of comprehensive income purposes.
     3.    Resilient will receive R548 611 111 in cash from the Fortress disposal resulting in a net purchase
           price of R1 388 818 889.
     4.    The purchase price is assumed to be entirely funded through third party bank debt which incurs
           interest at Resilient’s historical weighted average cost of debt of 8.24% per annum.
     5.    Arbour Crossing and The Galleria earned historical aggregate net rental income of R71.2 million
           (65%) (inclusive of a straight-lining rental adjustment of R20.7 million) for the six months
           ended 30 June 2013.
     6.    The historical property revenue and expenses were extracted from the underlying books and
           records of each property which have not been reviewed or reported on by auditors or reporting
           accountants. However, the directors of Resilient are satisfied with the quality of the information.
     7.    Estimated transaction costs of approximately R0.3 million are assumed to be incurred by
           Resilient and have been capitalised.

           Limited.
