POSTING OF CIRCULAR AND NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING
1. INTRODUCTION
Investec Property Fund shareholders ("Shareholders") are referred to the announcement released by Investec Property Fund on
SENS on Tuesday, 11 August 2015, regarding the acquisition by Investec Property Fund of a portfolio of properties from Zenprop
Property Holdings Proprietary Limited (“Zenprop”), for an aggregate purchase consideration of R7.06 billion (excluding transaction
costs) at a blended yield of 7.5% (“the Acquisition”).
2. POSTING OF THE CIRCULAR AND NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING
IPF Shareholders are hereby advised that a circular (“Circular”) has been posted to IPF Shareholders today, 11 September 2015,
containing, inter alia:
- details of the Acquisition;
- the revised listing particulars in respect of the Fund; and
- a notice convening the general meeting of Shareholders (“General Meeting”).
IPF Shareholders are advised to review the Circular for detailed terms regarding the Acquisition.
Notice is hereby given that the General Meeting will be held in the 2nd floor Executive Boardroom at Investec Bank Limited, 100
Grayston Drive, Sandown, Sandton, 2196 at 14:00 on Wednesday, 14 October 2015 to consider and, if deemed fit, pass, with or
without modification, the resolutions necessary to implement the Acquisition and the associated rights offer to part fund the
Acquisition.
3. RIGHTS OFFER
As previously announced, the Fund intends to undertake a fully committed rights offer of approximately R2.57 billion (“Rights Offer”)
to part fund the Acquisition, at an ex dividend rights offer price of R15.00, which represents a 9.1% discount to the 30-day VWAP
up to and including 6 August 2015, being the date prior to the finalisation of the transaction agreements.
The Fund has received irrevocable undertakings and letters of support from 69.6% of IPF Shareholders, and therefore R1.79 billion
of the Rights Offer has been covered by commitments or indications of support, and as a result, the remaining equity to be raised
in the Rights Offer is limited to approximately R0.78 billion.
If the Rights Offer is not fully subscribed, any shortfall will be taken up by Zenprop and will be settled by the issue of Investec
Property Fund shares at the Rights Offer price of R15.00 per share.
A circular containing details of the Rights Offer will be posted to shareholders in due course.
