management fees from managing and operating properties owned by Devco. In addition, Stor-Age
will also earn licencing fees and development fees for new properties developed by Devco.

Stor-Age will earn the following fees (excluding VAT) from the development of these three new
properties as follows:

    1. A development fee equivalent to 1.75% of the total development cost payable in instalments
       over the period of the development;
    2. A licence fee of R1 000 000 for each property payable on completion of the development;
    3. A monthly property management fee equal to 7% of the gross monthly income of each
       property, subject to a minimum fee of R25 000 per month and a maximum fee of R75 000
       per month; and
    4. On completion of development, an asset management fee of approximately 0.88% per
       annum of the market value of each property, payable in monthly instalments.

The new properties will be highly visible, modern and purpose built facilities that are situated in
prominent locations within close proximity to high density, middle-to-upper-income suburbs. The
properties have been designed to complement the existing built environment in which they trade and

                                                                                                      1
are expected to further increase awareness of the Stor-Age brand and enhance Stor-Age’s presence
in Johannesburg and Durban.

Stor-Age will also have a pre-emptive right to acquire these new properties together with the existing
eight properties owned by Devco.

Stor-Age Independent Non-executive Chairman Paul Theodosiou commented: “It’s pleasing to see
that Stor-Age has secured the rights over another three good development opportunities. All these
sites have strong property fundamentals, and will be well supported by the fund’s robust operations
platform. Following on from an 8% year-on-year increase in customer enquiries for the quarter ended
December 2015, Stor-Age is well positioned for sustainable growth in the portfolio.”
