ACQUISITION OF VARIOUS RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES


A.   ACQUISITION OF JIKA PROPERTIES PROPRIETARY LIMITED

1.   Introduction
     Linked unitholders are advised that Arrowhead Residential Limited (“Arrowhead Residential” or the
     “purchaser”), being a wholly owned subsidiary of the company has, subject to certain conditions
     precedent, concluded an agreement (the “agreement”) with Citiq Proprietary Limited (“Citiq”) and
     Amber Falcon Properties 185 Proprietary Limited (“Amber Falcon”) (each a “seller” and jointly the
     “sellers”) for the acquisition of all the shares in (“sold shares”) and claims against (“sold claims”)
     (collectively, the “sold equity”) Jika Properties Proprietary Limited (“Jika”) (the “Jika II
     acquisition”). Jika owns a portfolio of residential properties comprising immovable properties (the
     “Jika II properties”) and property companies (the “subsidiaries”) which own the properties
     (collectively, the “Jika II property portfolio”).

2.   Rationale
     As announced on SENS on 16 October 2013, Arrowhead Residential acquired a portfolio of 29
     residential properties and property owning companies from Jika (“Jika I acquisition”). The Jika II
     acquisition will be complimentary to the portfolio of properties already owned by Arrowhead
     Residential and will be distribution enhancing acquisitions.
     The Jika II acquisition provides Arrowhead with an opportunity to further grow and diversify its
     property portfolio. Listed residential property comprises over 15% of the total listed property market
     in developed economies such as the United States of America. In South Africa, it is under 2% and
     Arrowhead believes that there exists an opportunity for further growth in this sector of the real estate
     market.

3.   Details of the Jika II property portfolio
     Details of the Jika II property portfolio, including property name, geographical location, gross lettable
     area (“GLA”), weighted average rental per square metre and the purchase considerations and
     estimated net income attributed to the Jika II properties, all of which are residential, are as follows:

     4.   Terms of the Jika II acquisition
          4.1.   The effective date of the Jika II acquisition is the first day of the calendar month following the
                 calendar month in which the agreement becomes unconditional or, if the agreement becomes
                 unconditional within ten business days before the end of a calendar month, then the first
                 business day of the month following the month in which the effective date would otherwise
                 have occurred (the “effective date”).
          4.2.   Prior to the effective date, Citiq will conclude agreements with Jika in a form approved by
                 Arrowhead Residential in writing, for the acquisition by Citiq of certain properties owned by
                 Jika and/or its subsidiary companies but excluding such properties comprising the Jika II
                 property portfolio (the “excluded properties”) (the “excluded properties sale agreement”).
                 The excluded properties sale agreement will be effective from a date prior to the effective date.
          4.3.   The aggregate purchase consideration payable by the purchaser to the sellers in respect of the
                 sold equity is approximately R605 665 147 (the “purchase consideration”) and will be
                 allocated as to the face value of the sold claims and the balance to the sold shares.
          4.4.   For purposes of calculating the purchase consideration, any assets and liabilities relating to the
                 excluded properties, any assessed loss of Jika, any amount attributable to a VAT dispute and
                 the interest bearing borrowings of Jika and its subsidiaries have been excluded and, it is
                 assumed that the value of each property comprising the Jika 2 property portfolio is valued at
                 the corresponding amount reflected in the table in paragraph 3 above.
          4.5.   The purchase consideration will be funded through debt.
          4.6.   The sellers have guaranteed that –
                 4.6.1.      during the first guarantee period (being the 12 month period commencing on the
                             effective date) the net yield attributable to the Jika II property portfolio will be not
                             less than 10,1%; and
                 4.6.2.      during the second guarantee period (being the 12 month period commencing on
                             the first day after the expiry of the first guarantee period) the net yield attributable
                             to the Jika II property portfolio will be not less than 10,9%.
          4.7.   If the actual net yield achieved in respect of a guarantee period is less than the guaranteed yield
                 for that period then the sellers shall pay to Arrowhead Residential an amount equal to the
                 additional income that would be necessary to increase the achieved net yield to the guaranteed
                 yield, provided that the amount payable to Arrowhead Residential pursuant to the aforesaid
                 financial guarantee in respect of each guarantee period shall not exceed 2,5% of the purchase
                 price.
          4.8.   To facilitate payment under the financial guarantee the conveyancing attorneys shall retain in
                 their trust account an amount equivalent to 5% of the purchase price paid by Arrowhead
                 Residential for the Jika II property portfolio.
