(“Putprop” or “the Company” or “the Group”)
ACQUISITION OF THE CAVI RENTAL ENTERPRISE
1. INTRODUCTION
The board of directors of Putprop (“the Board”) wishes to inform shareholders that on 26 October 2016,
(“Agreement Date”) Putprop entered into a sale of rental enterprise agreement (“Sale Agreement”) with
CAVI Prop Co Proprietary Limited (“the Seller” or “CAVI”), in terms of which, subject to the fulfilment or
waiver of the conditions precedent set out in paragraph 2.4 below (“Conditions Precedent”), Putprop
will acquire the enterprise of letting the “CAVI Property”, being the property known as Section Number
1, as shown and more fully described on Sectional Plan Number SS 130/2015, in the sectional title
scheme known as Oakhurst (“the CAVI Rental Enterprise”) (“the Acquisition”).
2. THE ACQUISITION
2.1 Details of the CAVI Rental Enterprise
The CAVI Rental Enterprise is situated on portions 1 and 2 of Erf 915, Parktown, and, together with
the buildings and improvements thereon, measures 4 666 square metres. The gross lettable area
(GLA) of the CAVI Rental Enterprise is 4 666 square metres (all attributable to the commercial
sector) and the weighted average rental per square metre is currently R152.90.
2.2 Purchase Consideration
The purchase consideration is an amount of R90 260 000 (ninety million, two hundred and sixty
thousand rand), which amount is to be settled in cash.
2.3 Rationale for the Acquisition
The Board has been pursuing its strategic decision to increase Putprop’s exposure in the
commercial segment. The Acquisition provides an ideal opportunity for the Group to substantially
increase its holding in the commercial segment and reduce its weighting in the industrial segment.
In addition, the Acquisition is linked to the CAVI head lease agreement, being the written
agreement of head lease to be concluded between the Company (as landlord) and the Seller in
terms of which the Company lets the CAVI Property to the Seller (as lessee) (“CAVI Head Lease
Agreement”), which provides for a ten year fully repairing leaseback at favourable rates, allowing
for stable contractual rental flows going forward.
