DISPOSAL OF PROPERTY LETTING ENTERPRISE


Introduction

Shareholders are advised that Tower has concluded an agreement for the disposal of the property letting enterprise in
respect of the property situated at 73 Hertzog Boulevard, Cape Town (the “property”) to the Kia Joy Trust (“Kia
Joy” or the “purchaser”) for an aggregate consideration of R111 000 000 (exclusive of VAT at zero percent) (the
“disposal”).

The property is no longer core to Tower’s strategy and the disposal will also enable Tower to focus on its pipeline of
acquisitions which allow for higher and more sustainable growth. The proceeds of the disposal will be used, initially,
to reduce the existing debt of Tower.

Terms of the disposal

Kia Joy will acquire the property letting enterprise, which includes the property, with effect from the date of
registration of transfer of the property into Kia Joy’s name (the “transfer date”). The sale consideration for the
property letting enterprise will be payable in cash on the transfer date.

The disposal remains conditional upon:
-       the purchaser being satisfied with the outcome of its due diligence investigation;
-       the purchaser obtaining debt finance for 75% of the sale consideration payable for the disposal;
-       Tower receiving a bank guarantee securing payment of the sale consideration for the disposal;
-       approval of the Competition Authorities in terms of the Competition Act, No 89 of 1998.

The disposal agreement includes warranties, undertakings and indemnities which are normal for a disposal of this
nature.
