SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THE VENDOR PLACEMENT AND GENERAL ISSUE OF LINKED UNITS FOR CASH



A.    VENDOR PLACEMENT

      Annuity linked unit holders are referred to the announcement released on SENS on 29 July 2013 regarding the
      acquisition of various properties and private placement. Annuity is hereby pleased to advise linked unit holders
      that Annuity has successfully raised R163.8 million through a vendor placement (“Vendor Placement”) of 32 111
      244 new Annuity linked units at a clean price of R5.10 per linked unit (“Issue Price”). The Issue Price is
      equivalent to an 8.4% discount to the clean 30 day volume weighted average price on 17 July 2013, being the last
      day prior to the date on which the placing was authorised by the Annuity board of directors. The new linked units
      will be listed on the JSE Limited (“JSE”) on 20 September 2013. Accordingly all the conditions precedent have
      now been fulfilled.

B.    GENERAL ISSUE OF LINKED UNITS FOR CASH

      At the annual general meeting of Annuity held on 29 August 2012 the requisite majority of linked unit holders
      approved an ordinary resolution authorising the directors to issue linked units for cash (“General Authority”) in
      accordance with the Listings Requirements of the JSE (“Listings Requirements”).

      Annuity is hereby pleased to advise linked unit holders that Annuity has successfully raised a further R56.8 million
      through the private placement of 11 138 392 new Annuity linked units, at the Issue Price, via public shareholders
      as defined in paragraph 4.25 of the Listings Requirements. The Issue Price is equivalent to a 2.7% discount to the
      clean 30 day volume weighted average price on Monday, 9 September 2013, being the last day prior to the date
      the Issue Price was agreed. The new linked units will be listed on the JSE on 20 September 2013.

      The proceeds from the issue of linked units will be utilised to settle Annuity’s liability in respect of the property
      acquisitions referred to in the SENS announcement dated 29 July 2013.

      As the new linked units issued under the General Authority represents a 5.9% increase in the issued linked unit
      capital of the Company, the disclosure below is made in terms of section 11.22 of the Listings Requirements.

      PRO FORMA FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE ISSUE UNDER THE GENERAL AUTHORITY

      The unaudited pro forma financial effects below (prepared for illustrative purposes only) are the responsibility of
      the directors of Annuity and have not been reviewed or reported on by the reporting accountant in terms of section
      8 of the Listings Requirements.

      The unaudited pro forma financial effects presented in the table below have been prepared in accordance with the
      Company's accounting policies and in compliance with IFRS, in order to provide information about the financial

      implemented on 1 April 2012 and 31 March 2013, respectively. Accordingly, such effects do not necessarily
      represent a true reflection of the financial effects of the issue under the General Authority on Annuity’s current and
      future earnings. The pro forma information is the responsibility of the directors of Annuity.

    purposes and on 31 March 2013 for statement of financial position purposes.

    bearing financial liabilities at a cost of 8.3%, being the historical interest rate on the liabilities which are
    assumed to be repaid from 4 May 2012, and from interest earned on the deposit for the period between 1
    April 2012 to 3 May 2012.
