UPDATE ON CLOSING OF THE OFFSHORE PORTFOLIO ACQUISITION AND PRIVATE
PLACEMENT

Shareholders are referred to the announcements released on the Stock Exchange News Service
("SENS") on 24 October 2016 and 11 November 2016 respectively, relating to the acquisition of an
offshore portfolio (“Proposed Transaction”) and Accelerate’s intention to implement an equity raise
via a private placement (“Private Placement”) to be issued in terms of a vendor consideration
placing.

Accelerate is pleased to announce that all conditions precedent relating to the Proposed Transaction
have been fulfilled, with the exception of administrative conditions precedent to the draw-down of the
Euro debt facility, which are expected to be completed by the closing date. Accordingly the effective
date for completion of the Proposed Transaction and transfer of ownership of the properties is
expected to be on or about 19 December 2016.

Pursuant to the above, Accelerate has successfully concluded the Private Placement through the
issue of 125 million shares at R6.10 per share, to shareholders that irrevocably committed to
subscribe for such new shares in the Private Placement following the announcement on 11 November
2016. The Private Placement was oversubscribed.

Authorisation has been received from the JSE for the listing of the 125 million new Accelerate shares
in the “Financial services – Diversified Real Estate Investment Trust” sector of the official lists under
the share code “APF”, with effect from the commencement of trade on the JSE on Thursday 8
December 2016.
