3.    Rationale for the acquisition

      The company identified the acquisition as an appropriate investment in terms of the
      strategy of the Trematon group, which is to grow its portfolio of long term investment
      properties through the acquisition of well-located properties where the company can
      add value by unlocking the full commercial potential of the asset.

4.    Terms of the acquisition

4.1   The vendor

      The vendor of the portfolio is Redefine. Redefine is not a related party in terms of the
      Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited (“JSE”).

4.2   Purchase consideration

      Arbitrage has acquired the portfolio for an aggregate purchase price of R203 186 000
      payable as set out in paragraph 2 above in cash (“the purchase price”) on the date of
      transfer of each of the three properties and will be funded by Arbitrage by a
      combination of cash and borrowings.

      In the event that transfer of the properties has not been effected by 1 June 2015, the
      purchase price shall be subject to escalation by 0.65% per month, compounded
      monthly in arrear, calculated from 1 June 2015 up to and including the date of transfer.

4.3   Conditions precedent

      alia the following conditions precedent:

            diligence investigation at its own cost;

      4.3.2 the provision of written proof of finance approval in respect of the purchase
            price by Arbitrage;

      4.3.3 the provision of written notice of the approval of the conclusion and
            implementation of the acquisition agreement by Redefine’s investment
            committee;
                                                                                                     3
      4.3.4 approval of the acquisition by Redefine’s board of directors; and

      4.3.5 Competition Commission approval of the acquisition, to the extent required,
            within 90 days of the signature date, or such later date as agreed to between
            the parties in writing.

5        Effective date

         The effective date of the acquisition is the first business day after fulfilment or 
         waiver (as the case may be) of the last of the conditions precedent (and is expected 
         to be on or about 1 August 2015.)
