Disposal by Sycom of the Discovery Building SYCOM PROPERTY FUND A Collective Investment Scheme in Property ("CISP") registered in terms of the Collective Investment Schemes Control Act, No. 45 of 2002 and managed by Sycom Property Fund Managers Limited ("SPFM") (Registration number 1986/002756/06) JSE Share code: SYC ISIN: ZAE000019303 ("Sycom” or the “Fund”) (Granted REIT status by the JSE, effective 1 April 2013) DISPOSAL BY SYCOM OF THE DISCOVERY BUILDING INTRODUCTION Sycom has entered into a sale agreement to dispose of the Discovery Building (the “Property”) to The Truzen 113 Trust (c/o Zenprop Property Holdings) (the “Purchaser”) for an amount of R413.9 million (the “Disposal”). RATIONALE FOR THE DISPOSAL The Property has a single tenant, Discovery Health (Pty) Ltd („Discovery”). In a Request for Information (“RFI”) issued on 26 June 2012, Discovery indicated that its future needs for office space would be significantly greater than the area currently occupied in the Property, together with its adjoining buildings. Given the risk of Discovery vacating the Property at the end of their current lease in March 2016, Sycom entered into discussions with Zenprop regarding the potential redevelopment of the Property, along with certain of its adjoining buildings, in response to the RFI. For a number of reasons, it was not feasible for Sycom and Zenprop to participate in the RFI as joint venture partners, and Sycom therefore resolved to dispose of the Property to the Purchaser in order to mitigate the risk of a substantial vacancy in the 2016 financial year, as well as the risk associated with redeveloping and re-tenanting the Property in an uncertain office market. DETAILS OF THE DISPOSAL Sale consideration The sale consideration in respect of the Disposal is R413.9 million (the “sale consideration”), payable by the Purchaser in cash on transfer. The proceeds of the Disposal will be utilised to fund future developments and acquisitions.
