1.    INTRODUCTION

      As communicated to investors at the time of the company’s listings on the Bermuda Stock Exchange (“BSX”)
      and the Alternative Exchange of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (“JSE”), the company’s primary objective
      is to invest opportunistically in real estate assets that will provide strong sustainable income from high quality
      tenants. In furtherance of these objectives, the company is to embark on a strategy of acquiring a substantial
      portfolio of African real estate assets (this would exclude assets situated in South Africa) under the guidance of
      a new board of directors and investment manager, further details of which are set out below.

      agreement”) with Delta Property Fund Limited (incorporated in the Republic of South Africa with company
      registration number 2002/005129/06) (“Delta”), to dispose of its 89% holding (591 212 shares) in Osiris to
      Delta for a purchase consideration of GBP502 530 (“the OPS Share Sale”).

      Following implementation of the OPS Share Sale, Delta will become the beneficial owner of 89% of the issued
      share capital of the company.

      As a condition precedent to the share sale agreement, Osiris has entered into an agreement with KSP Offshore

      dispose of its entire shareholding in Trito Petersfield Limited (“Trito”) together with any claims on loan
      account which Osiris has in Trito for a purchase consideration of GBP735 000 (“Trito disposal”). Trito is the

      Shareholders are further advised that Premier Capital Managers Ltd (incorporated in the British Virgin Islands

      fee of GBP300 000, which fee is payable by transferees to Premier Capital. Pursuant to the novation agreement,
      the transferees will assign the management contract to Freedom Manco. Freedom Manco will continue to
      manage the assets of Osiris on the same basis and terms.
