REBOSIS PROPERTY FUND LIMITED
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)

JSE share code: REB ISIN: ZAE000201687

DISPOSAL OF PROPERTY LETTING ENTERPRISES


Introduction

Shareholders are advised that Rebosis has concluded an agreement for the disposal of the property letting enterprises
in respect of the 3 properties known as 28 Harrison Street, 124 Main Street and 64 Eloff Street (the “properties”) to
Southern Palace Group of Companies Proprietary Limited (“Southern Palace”) for an aggregate consideration of
R847 498 292 (exclusive of VAT at zero percent) (the “disposal”).

The disposal forms part of Rebosis’ stated intention to dispose of non-core assets outside of the retail sector. In
addition to the disposal, Rebosis has entered into a sale agreement in respect of a disposal of another non-core asset to
the value of R150 million to another vendor, bringing the total value of non-core assets disposed of to c.R1 billion to
date. The disposal will enable Rebosis to reduce its total debt and therefore the loan to value ratio.

Terms of the disposal

Southern Palace will acquire the property letting enterprises, which include the properties, with effect from the date of
registration of transfer of these properties into Southern Palace’s name (the “transfer date”). The sale consideration
for the property letting enterprises will be payable in cash on the transfer date.

If the properties are not transferred into Southern Palace’s name by 1 November 2016, the total purchase price will
escalate at one twelfth of eight percent per month until the properties are transferred into Southern Palace’s name.

The disposal remains conditional upon:

-     Southern Palace:
      -      obtaining debt finance for 100% of the sale consideration payable;
      -      providing Rebosis with guarantees in respect of payment of the sale consideration;
      -      being satisfied with the outcome of its due diligence investigation in respect of the properties;
      -      obtaining approval from the Competition Authorities for the disposal; and
-     the directors of Southern Palace approving the disposal.

Rebosis will provide all asset and property management services to Southern Palace in respect of the properties for
3 years.

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