ISIN: ZAE000188843
(Approved as a REIT by the JSE)

SPECIFIC AUTHORITY TO ISSUE SHARES FOR CASH AND POSTING OF CIRCULAR AND NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING


1.    Posting of circular and notice of general meeting

      Equites shareholders are advised that Equites has, on 24 October 2016, posted a circular (the “circular”)
      relating to a specific authority to issue shares for cash in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements (the “specific
      issue authority”).

      Copies of the circular may be obtained from the registered offices of Equites, 14th Floor, Portside Tower, 4 Bree
      Street, Cape Town, 8000, and from the company’s transfer secretaries, Trifecta Capital Services Proprietary
      Limited (Trifecta Capital House, 31 Beacon Road, Florida North, 1790) during normal business hours. The
      circular will also be available in electronic form on the website of the company (www.equites.co.za).

      Included in the circular is a notice of general meeting of Equites shareholders, which general meeting is to be
      held at the offices of Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr Inc (5th Floor, 11 Buitengracht Street, Cape Town, 8000) at 10:00
      on Tuesday, 22 November 2016 to consider and, if deemed fit, pass, with or without modification, the
      resolutions necessary to give effect to the specific issue authority.

2.    Terms of the specific issue authority

      Equites is seeking a specific authority to issue up to 100 million Equites shares for cash initially in order to
      reduce the company’s gearing and subsequently finance Equites’ pipeline of developments and acquisitions.

      Pursuant to the specific issue authority Equites may undertake one or more private placements (the
      “placements”). Existing Equites shareholders as well as institutional investors who have expressed an interest
      in acquiring additional Equites shares will, subject to meeting the minimum subscription (R1 000 000 per
      investor acting as principal), be invited to participate in such placements.

      Participants in the relevant placement will submit their price and volume orders into a book of demand and a
      single clearing price, being the relevant placement price, will be established. The maximum discount at which
      the placement shares will be issued is a 5% discount to the lower of:

      -       the volume weighted average traded price per Equites share for the 30 business days prior to the date on
              which the placement price is set or agreed to by Equites, adjusted for a dividend where the ‘ex’ date in
              respect of the dividend occurs during the 30 day period; or

      -       the market value of Equites shares on the day prior to the date on which the placement price is set or
              agreed to by Equites.

      The specific issue authority is conditional upon the shareholders of Equites providing all such necessary
      authorisations, and approvals as may be required by them to give effect to the specific issue authority, including
      an authority to issue shares in terms of section 41(3) of the Companies Act, 71 of 2008.
