1. INTRODUCTION

Green Flash was incorporated on 14 August 2014 in Mauritius as a public company limited by shares in
accordance with the Mauritian Companies Act. It currently holds a Category One Global Business
License in accordance with the Mauritian Companies Act and the Financial Services Act 2007 of
Mauritius, and has been operational since 31 August 2014. The Company’s registered address is 20th
Floor Newton Tower, Sir William Newton Street, Port Louis, Mauritius.

The Company was listed on the SEM, as a primary listing, on 30 January 2015. Green Flash will conduct
its business from Mauritius.

The JSE has granted Green Flash a listing of all of the Company's issued shares on the AltX under the
abbreviated name: G Flash, JSE share code: GRP and ISIN: MU0461N00007 with effect from the
commencement of trade on Friday, 27 November 2015. This will be a secondary listing.

2. NATURE OF THE BUSINESS
The primary objective of the Company is to invest opportunistically in undervalued real estate assets to
provide investors with exposure to high yielding property assets.

The Company believes that there is a significant market for a dual listed property fund established to
acquire opportunistically good quality undervalued real estate assets (predominantly in Europe) in order
to offer investors in South Africa an opportunity to invest in internationally high yielding property assets.
The Company was established to meet the demands of this market and the Company intends to take
advantage of the business relationships, skills, market knowledge and experience of its Chief Executive
Officer, Stephen Carlin, to fulfil its business objectives. The Company intends to rapidly grow its portfolio
of assets, by purchasing undervalued real estate assets. In order to take advantage of these opportunities
it is necessary to be able to raise capital quickly. The benefit of a dual listing is that it allows the Company
to raise capital in South Africa and Mauritius, having regard to the strength of the directors’ relationships
and the known interest of investors in those jurisdictions. It is anticipated that the majority of the future
equity funding will be raised from South Africa.

3. INVESTMENT STRATEGY

The Company will seek to invest predominantly in Europe as well as certain parts of Africa. The Company
will target properties with strong sustainable income from high quality tenants with strong likelihood of
renewal of leases on expiry.

In order to take advantage of these opportunities it is necessary for the Company to be able to raise
capital quickly, to enable it to grow its assets. The benefit of a dual listing is that it allows the Company to
raise capital in South Africa and Mauritius, having regard to the strength of the directors’ relationships and
the known interest of investors in those jurisdictions.

The Company has begun investing in retail properties by the acquisition of 100% of the issued share
capital in Banstead Property Holdings Ltd with effect from 31 August 2014. This acquisition was funded
via the issue of Shares in the Company. The Company also acquired a portfolio of listed shares in
Redefine International PLC with effect from 1 April 2015. This acquisition was funded via the issue of
Shares in the Company.

4. LISTING ON THE JSE
The reasons for the Listing are to broaden Green Flash's investor base and source additional capital to
fund its growth aspirations, as well as to:

    .   enhance potential investors' awareness of the Company;
    .   improve the depth and spread of the shareholder base of the Company, thereby improving
        liquidity in the trading of its securities;
    .   provide Invited Investors the opportunity to participate directly in the income streams and future
        capital growth of the Company; and
    .   provide Invited Investors with an additional market for trading the Company shares.
5. SHARE CAPITAL

Immediately prior to the listing on the JSE, the issued share capital of Green Flash will comprise
15,234,790 ordinary no par value shares. Assuming that 9,765,210 shares are issued in terms of the
South African private placement, immediately after the SA private placement and the listing on the JSE
the issued share capital of the Company will comprise 25,000,000 shares of no par value. The anticipated
market capitalisation of the Company will be approximately €2,000,000. There will be no shares held in
treasury.
