ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY PORTFOLIO IN GERMANY


INTRODUCTION

Shareholders are advised that MAS, through three wholly-owned subsidiaries, Brandenburg Capital S.a.r.l.,
Magdeburg Capital S.a.r.l. and Leipzig Capital S.a.r.l. has concluded a sale and purchase agreement (“SPA”) to
acquire a portfolio of properties throughout northern and central Germany (the “properties”) under a sale and
leaseback arrangement from various subsidiaries of Edeka MIHA AG (the “acquisition”).

RATIONALE AND SALIENT TERMS OF THE ACQUISITION

The purchase price for the acquisition is EUR56 010 400 which is anticipated to be settled out of cash
resources. The properties comprise 20 buildings operated either as supermarkets or cash and carry outlets let to
part of Edeka MIHA AG, a leading supermarket brand, with a total site area of 182 554 sq mt. of which 51 109 sq
mt is lettable together with 1 552 parking spaces and a weighted average lease term of 15 years. The board of
MAS is of the view that this acquisition enhances the overall property portfolio of MAS and the strong tenant
covenant fits well with the Company's objective of delivering a growing income distribution.

The current annual rent roll of the properties is EUR3 849 000 per annum and the properties are expected to
deliver an average of 6.5% core income after costs and income tax.
