ACQUISTION OF AN INTEREST IN A PROPERTY PORTFOLIO AND CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT


The Board of Directors of Atlantic Leaf wishes to inform shareholders and the public in general that the company has
identified an opportunity to invest indirectly in fixed property assets, through the proposed acquisition of the entire issued
share capital of Seahawk Investments Limited (“Seahawk”) whose registered address is at St Georges Court, Upper Church
Street, Douglas, Isle of Man IM1 1EE (the “Acquisition”).

Seahawk is an investment holding company which holds a 30% interest in a portfolio of 30 retail warehouse properties
located in the United Kingdom, currently tenanted by Booker Group PLC (the “Booker Portfolio”). The Acquisition is in
line with the company’s primary objective of investing in quality, investment grade real estate assets and companies which
deliver suitable returns for investors through both income and capital growth.

The Acquisition will be undertaken in two tranches:

    -    Pursuant to the first tranche, Atlantic Leaf will acquire 60% of the issued share capital of Seahawk for a total
         purchase consideration of GBP 6,921,131.47 (“Tranche 1”); and

    -    Upon completion of Tranche 1, the company will also be granted an option to acquire the remaining 40% of the
         issued share capital of Seahawk (“Tranche 2”).

Tranche 1 is expected to be completed on or about 17 April 2014 and this transaction is categorised as a Disclosable
Transaction under Chapter 13 of the Listing Rules of the Stock Exchange of Mauritius Ltd (“SEM”). In line with the
relevant provisions of Chapter 13, a Disclosable Transaction Circular will be issued in due course and a summary thereof
will be published accordingly.

If the company elects to exercise its option to acquire Tranche 2, such acquisition will be aggregated with Tranche 1 and
may be categorised as a Substantial Transaction in terms of the Listing Rules of the SEM, which would require Atlantic
Leaf to seek shareholders’ approval to complete the acquisition of Tranche 2. The company will release further
announcements in this regard if and when the Board of Directors decides to exercise the option to acquire Tranche 2.

Shareholders and the investing public are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the shares of the company.

Atlantic Leaf has its primary listing on the SEM and a secondary listing on the JSE.
