ACQUISITIONS OF SHARES IN ROCKCASTLE GLOBAL REAL ESTATE COMPANY LIMITED


1.    THE ACQUISITIONS

      Linked unitholders are referred to the announcement released on SENS on Wednesday, 4 December 2013 (“December
      2013 announcement”), in which Resilient detailed its acquisition of shares in Rockcastle Global Real Estate Company
      Limited (Incorporated in the Republic of Mauritius with registration number 108869 C1/GBL) (“Rockcastle”). Subsequent
      to the December 2013 announcement, Resilient has acquired 14 379 958 Rockcastle shares in the open market for an
      aggregate purchase price of R199.8 million (the “additional share acquisition”) and has agreed to subscribe for 47 941
      982 shares in Rockcastle in terms of a placement of 175 500 000 new shares undertaken by Rockcastle (the
      “subscription”) which placement closed on Wednesday, 21 May 2014 (the “placement”).

      Under the placement, Resilient is subscribing for the new shares through Rockcastle’s South African share register at a
      subscription price of R14.60 per share, equating to an aggregate subscription price of R700 million. The new Rockcastle
      shares are expected to be issued, listed and traded on the Alternative Exchange of the JSE Limited (“JSE”) and the Stock
      Exchange of Mauritius Limited (“SEM”) from Friday, 30 May 2014. The Rockcastle shares will rank for dividends in
      respect of the period 1 January 2014 to 30 June 2014.

      The additional share acquisition was funded through Resilient’s available debt facilities and the subscription will be 
      funded in the same manner.

      Following the subscription, Resilient will hold 168 560 000 shares in Rockcastle, being 23.89% of Rockcastle’s shares in
      issue.

2.    CATEGORISATION

      The additional share acquisition of R199.8 million, together with the subscription of R700 million constitutes a category 2
      transaction in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements and accordingly does not require approval by linked unitholders.

3.    RATIONALE FOR THE ACQUISITIONS

      exposure.

      Rockcastle through the placement will be used by it to invest in listed real estate securities and/or direct property in
      selected jurisdictions. Further information on Rockcastle and its activities is available at www.rockcastleglobalre.mu.
