     The board of directors of Indluplace are satisfied that the aggregate value attributed to the residential property
     portfolio is in line with the aggregate purchase consideration payable. The directors are not independent and are
     not registered as professional valuers or as professional associate valuers in terms of the Property Valuers
     Profession Act, No 47 of 2000.

4.   TERMS OF THE ACQUISITION

     4.1     The effective date in respect of the completed immovable properties, comprising properties numbered 1 to
             6 in the table above, is the first calendar day of the month following the fulfilment of the last of the
             conditions precedent set out in paragraph 5 below; and the effective date in respect of each development,
             comprising properties numbered 7 to 9 in the table above, is the first calendar day of the month in which
             final completion takes place (“the effective date”).

     4.2     All risk and benefit attaching to the residential property portfolio will vest in Indluplace with effect from
             the effective date.

     4.3     The aggregate purchase consideration payable in cash on the effective date by Indluplace to the SAWHF
             for the residential property portfolio is R707 667 453.94 (“the purchase consideration”).

     4.4     SAWHF have concluded agreements with end-user purchasers (“the end-user purchase agreements”) in
             respect of certain other units (“the other units”) situated within the sectional title schemes forming part of
             the completed immovable properties, which other units, as at the signature date of the agreement, have
             been excluded from the residential property portfolio. Should the end-user agreements fail for any reason,
             then Indluplace and SAWHF will amend the agreement to include the other units in the residential
             property portfolio and amend the relevant purchase consideration per unit and the aggregate purchase
             consideration payable for all the units in that sectional title scheme.

     4.5     SAWHF have provided Indluplace with a rental income guarantee (“the rental guarantee”) in respect of
             the units of which it is the owner and which are vacant on the effective date. The rental guarantee is
             subject to the conclusion of a management agreement in terms of which IHS Property Management
             Proprietary Limited (“IHSPM”) will be the exclusive manager of the units and have an exclusive mandate
             to procure tenants for the units.

     4.6     The rental guarantee will expire, on a per unoccupied unit basis in respect of each unoccupied unit, when a
             lease agreement entered into between Indluplace and a tenant becomes unconditional or on
             30 October 2017, whichever comes first (“the expiry date”). To secure payment under the rental
             guarantee, Indluplace’s attorney will establish a trust account for SAWHF and keep in such trust account a
             maximum of 3% of the purchase consideration, the balance of which (if any) will be released to SAWHF
             or the Indluplace, as the case may, within two business days after the expiry date.

     4.7     The agreement provides for warranties and indemnities that are normal for an acquisition of this nature.

5.   CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

     The agreement is subject to the fulfilment or waiver, as the case may be of the following conditions precedent:

     5.1     Indluplace conducting a full due diligence investigation and furnishing the seller with written confirmation
             that it is satisfied with the results of the due diligence and that it wishes to proceed with the acquisition;

     5.2     Indluplace securing the written approval of its investment committee to the conclusion and
             implementation of the agreement;

     5.3     SAWHF securing the written approval of its investment committee to the conclusion and implementation
             of the agreement;

     5.4     Indluplace and IHSPM executing an unconditional management agreement;

     5.5     Indluplace obtaining, to the extent necessary, the requisite approvals from any regulatory authorities,
             including, but not limited to, the Competition Authorities for the implementation of the acquisition;

     5.6     Indluplace securing finance to proceed with the acquisition;

     5.7     the shareholders of SAWHF passing the necessary resolutions approving the acquisition; and

     5.8     an escrow agreement being executed.

6.   CATEGORISATION AND DOCUMENTATION

     The acquisition is a category 2 transaction in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements and accordingly does not
     require approval by Indluplace shareholders.
