     Linked unitholders of the Company are hereby advised that the
     Company has entered into an agreement with Sporting Affair
     Investment 40 Proprietary Limited (“the Seller”) to acquire,
     as a going concern, the rental enterprise operated by the
     Seller (“the Rental Enterprise”), which acquisition will
     include the cession and delegation of the notarial lease held
     by the Seller (“Notarial Lease”) over the properties situated
     at Erf 475 Ulundi BA, Ulundi, KwaZulu-Natal (collectively,
     “the Property”), commonly known as Nondwengu Shopping Centre
     (“Nondwengu Shopping Centre Acquisition”).

     In order to procure the transfer of the Seller’s rights and
     obligations in relation to the Notarial Lease to the Company,
     the parties will procure the preparation and registration of a
     notarial deed of assignment at the Deeds Office (“Deed of
     Assignment”).

     Acquisition shall be the date of registration of the Deed of
     Assignment at the Deeds Office which, subject to fulfilment of
     the conditions precedent, is expected on or about 1 September
     2014.

2.   RATIONALE FOR THE ACQUISITION

     the Company’s growth strategy whereby the Company will focus
     on acquiring retail assets with a weighting in favour of non-
     metropolitan areas and lower LSM sectors.

3.   PURCHASE CONSIDERATION

     The purchase consideration applicable to the Nondwengu
     Shopping Centre Acquisition is R38 950 000 (thirty eight
     million nine hundred and fifty thousand Rand), which includes
     VAT at the rate of 0%, payable in cash against registration of
     the Deed of Assignment at the Deeds Office.
