POTENTIAL NEW ACQUISITIONS AND CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT, AS WELL AS FURTHER CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENTS



1. INTRODUCTION

1.1.   With a view to expanding its presence on the African continent (outside South Africa), Delta Africa aims to grow its
       existing portfolio by acquiring properties that enjoy quality leases with strong counterparties in US Dollar based
       economies.

1.2.   In pursuit of this strategy, and in addition to the acquisitions recently announced by Delta Africa on 20 October 2015 (in
       respect of Kafubu Mall and Mukuba Mall in Zambia), on 9 November 2015 (in respect of Barclays House in Mauritius) and
       on 17 November 2015 (in respect of the Naivasha property in Kenya and the Wings property in Nigeria), Delta Africa is
       currently considering certain other potential acquisitions (“New Acquisitions”). While these New Acquisitions have not
       yet been finalised or agreed, Delta Africa wishes to provide its shareholders and potential investors with a high-level

3.3.   Shareholders are reminded that Delta Africa is also trading under cautionary, pursuant to its announcement dated
       9 November 2015 in respect of its Barclays House acquisition, such cautionary announcement having been renewed by
       Delta Africa in its abovementioned announcement on 17 November 2015. Accordingly, shareholders are also advised to
       continue exercising caution when dealing in Delta Africa’s securities until a full announcement is made by Delta Africa in
       respect of the Barclays House acquisition.
