3. Sellers
Details regarding the various participants in the Transaction, other than Tradehold, will be set out in the circular to be
issued to shareholders of Tradehold (“Tradehold Shareholders”) in due course (the “Circular”).
4. Net Asset Value of the Portfolio being acquired under the Transaction:
The Consideration is an aggregate amount of GBP82.4 million (calculated at the ZAR:GBP exchange rate of
ZAR21.44:GBP1 as at 18 February 2016 (the “Exchange Rate”), the signature date of the Amended MoU, and being
the equivalent of ZAR1 766 million), which is the net asset value (the “NAV”) of the Portfolio attributable to Tradehold.
The annualised current monthly net profits after interest and tax attributable to the net assets that are the subject of the
Transaction for the twelve months ended 28 February 2017 are GBP5.8 million.
The NAV has been calculated based on the annualised current monthly net income before interest and taxation for the
twelve months ending 28 February 2017 of the Portfolio (“Annualised NOI”), being GBP27.3 million before accounting
for minority interests in the Portfolio, capitalised at a rate of 9.45%, plus the cash received from any properties sold and
the value of properties acquired in the interim, and after deducting third party debt. An estimated 6.9% of the NAV and
7.6% of Annualised NOI is attributable to minorities.
The Portfolio has been independently valued at a yield of 8.89%, as at the Effective Date, by Peter Parfitt from Quadrant
Properties Proprietary Limited, who is registered as a professional valuer in terms of the Property Valuers Profession
Act, No 47 of 2000, and who practices as such in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements.
The Collins Associates have provided Tradehold various warranties in respect of itself, the Properties, the Property
Companies and their respective subsidiaries. The annualised financial information contained herein has been provided
to Tradehold by the Collins Associates and the Property Companies and has not been reviewed or audited by the
auditors of the Property Companies or Tradehold.
5. Issue of Tradehold Shares
The Consideration will be settled partly in cash (GBP2.45 million) and the balance through the issue of up to 59,644,607
Tradehold Shares at GBP1.34 (ZAR28.73 calculated at the Exchange Rate), being the 30 day volume-weighted average
price at 18 February 2016, the signature date of the Amended MoU. Following the issue of the Tradehold Shares, the
Company will have an estimated total number of up to 247,884,509 Tradehold Shares in issue.
6. Description of the Property Companies and Collins, and rationale for the Transaction
The Properties form part of the property portfolio of the Collins group of companies, which is a fourth-generation family-
owned property development business which has built up an excellent track record in the development and management
of commercial properties across Southern Africa and beyond.
The Transaction will add a diversified portfolio of properties and an experienced property development and management
team to Tradehold. The resultant increase in Tradehold’s NAV and profitability will facilitate further growth both in South
Africa, via Collins, and abroad with a particular focus on Tradehold’s investments in the United Kingdom.
7. Property information
7.1. The Portfolio:
- consists of 136 properties located in South Africa;
- has a gross lettable area (“GLA”) of 1,212,417 m2, with 295 buildings and 374 tenants;
- on a per GLA basis, is 67% industrial, 20% distribution centres, 9% retail and 4% commercial;

7.2. Acquisition by Imbali
Tradehold Shareholders are referred to the announcement released by Nampak Limited (“Nampak”) on SENS on 1 June
2016 pursuant to which Nampak announced the disposal of a portfolio of properties (“Disposal Properties”) to Imbali.

Disposal Properties. The settlement of the purchase price in respect of the Disposal Properties will be in cash and

and their respective subsidiaries will not frustrate Tradehold in any way from compliance with its obligations in terms of
the JSE Listings Requirements, and that nothing contained in such constitutional documents shall relieve Tradehold
from compliance with the JSE Listings Requirements.

accordingly requires the approval of Tradehold Shareholders.

the JSE Listings Requirements), to Tradehold. Consequently, the Transaction will constitute a related party transaction,
as contemplated in section 10 of the JSE Listings Requirements. The Circular convening a general meeting of Tradehold
Shareholders to seek the required approval under the JSE Listings Requirements and the Companies Act will be posted
to Tradehold Shareholders in due course.
