ATLANTIC LEAF ANNOUNCES ACCELERATED BOOK BUILD


THIS ANNOUNCEMENT AND THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN ARE NOT FOR PUBLICATION,
RELEASE OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN OR INTO THE
UNITED STATES, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, JAPAN OR ANY JURISDICTION IN WHICH IT WOULD BE
UNLAWFUL TO DO SO.

Atlantic Leaf announces an equity raising of up to GBP 20.0 million (equivalent to approximately ZAR340.0 million)
through the issue of new ordinary shares (the “Equity Raise”). The Equity Raise is subject to the requirements of the
Company’s Constitution, the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited (“JSE”) and the Listing Rules of the Stock
Exchange of Mauritius Ltd (“SEM”).

The Equity Raise is subject to pricing acceptable to the Company and in accordance with the authority provided by
Shareholders of Atlantic Leaf. The Equity Raise will be completed as part of a vendor consideration placing (as
defined under paragraph 5.62 of the JSE Listings Requirements) and, where required, under the Company’s general
authority to issue shares for cash approved by Atlantic Leaf shareholders at the annual general meeting of the
Company held on Monday, 27 June 2016.

The equity raised will be utilised to fund acquisitions, including the recently announced acquisition of the DHL
Supply Chain property in Preston Brook, Runcorn situated within the United Kingdom (announcement released on
21 October 2016) and otherwise in furtherance of the Company’s investment strategies. Atlantic Leaf has prepared an
investor presentation relating to the Equity Raise which can be found on the Company’s website –
www.atlanticleaf.mu (Investor Relations – Presentations).

The Equity Raise will be offered to qualifying investors through an accelerated book build process (the “Book Build”)
conducted on the JSE and SEM. Investors may elect to subscribe for ordinary shares on the South African register in
ZAR or on the Mauritian register in GBP.

All public and non-public investors (as defined under paragraphs 4.25 – 4.26 of the JSE Listings Requirements) may
participate in the vendor consideration placing and only public investors may participate in the Equity Raise under the
Company’s general authority, to the extent available.

The Book Build opens on release of this announcement and the Company reserves the right to close it at any time
thereafter. Pricing and allocations will be announced as soon as practicable following the closing of the Book Build.
