VOLUNTARY ANNOUNCEMENT PERTAINING TO THE ACQUISITION BY STOR-AGE
OF UNIT SELF STORAGE IN CAPE TOWN



1.    INTRODUCTION

      The board of directors of Stor-Age is pleased to advise shareholders that the Company, through
      its wholly-owned subsidiary, Roeland Street Investments Proprietary Limited (“RSI”), has acquired
      Unit Self Storage Proprietary Limited (registration number 2016/499256/07), the owner of the Unit
      Self Storage property, situated at Springfield Street, Ottery, Cape Town (“Unit Self Storage”),
      through the subscription of shares in Unit Self Storage (the “Acquisition”).


2.    RATIONALE

      The Acquisition is in line with Stor-Age’s strategy of pursuing value-added acquisitions in a
      fragmented market and strengthening the group’s position as the premium South African self
      storage brand.

      The Acquisition represents an excellent opportunity for Stor-Age to acquire a well-constructed self
      storage property in a location which complements its existing portfolio, providing Stor-Age with
      additional scale from both a balance sheet and trading perspective.
      
      Stor-Age will re-brand the acquired property and manage it off its existing operating infrastructure.


3.    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

      The Acquisition is uncategorised in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements, and the information
      contained in this announcement has been voluntarily disclosed by the Company.

3.1      ABOUT UNIT SELF STORAGE

         Based in Cape Town’s Southern Suburbs, Unit Self Storage has a well-established tenant
         base and trading history after being in operation for more than three years.

         The well-constructed and aesthetically pleasing dual level property offers more than 5 300 m²
         of self storage space across two levels, consisting of 460 self storage units ranging from 4.5
         m² to 36 m² in size.

         The established tenant base and trading history supports a level of occupancy which is
         characteristic of a ‘mature’ self storage property, at a rental rate of R84 per m².

         Unit Self Storage is situated in close proximity to Sheffield Business Park and services the
         greater Ottery and Lansdowne nodes as well as drawing from areas such as Kenilworth,
         Wynberg, Plumstead and Diep River.
