NOT FOR PUBLICATION, DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE

OPENING OF ACCELERATED BOOKBUILD


Stor-Age hereby announces the launch of an equity raising of approximately R900 million through the issue of
new ordinary shares (“the Equity Raise”), subject to pricing acceptable to Stor-Age. The Equity Raise will be
completed, in part, by way of vendor consideration placings (as defined under paragraph 5.62 of the JSE
Listings Requirements) (“the Vendor Consideration Placings”) and the balance of the Equity Raise authorised
in terms of Stor-Age’s existing general authority to issue shares for cash (“the General Issue for Cash”)


The Equity Raise undertaken by way of the Vendor Consideration Placings will be utilised to fund the
acquisitions of:

      -     Betterstore Self Storage Holdings Limited (“Storage King”), further details of which were announced
            on SENS on 5 September 2017 and 18 September 2017 and are contained in the circular issued to
            Stor-Age shareholders on 18 September 2017; and
      -     DanCor Properties Proprietary Limited (“DanCor”), further details of which were announced on SENS
            on 8 June 2017 and 10 October 2017.


Both public and non-public investors (as defined under paragraph 4.25 and 4.26 of the JSE Listings
Requirements) may participate in the Vendor Consideration Placings and only public investors may participate in
the General Issue for Cash.
The Equity Raise will be offered to qualifying investors and will be implemented through an accelerated
bookbuild process (“the Bookbuild”) which opens with immediate effect. The Equity Raise is not an offer to the
public as contemplated under the Companies Act, No. 71 of 2008, as amended.



The Company reserves the right to close the Bookbuild at any time and increase the size of the Bookbuild,
subject to demand.


The new Stor-Age shares, when issued, will be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with
existing shares of the Company. Pricing and allocations will be announced as soon as is reasonably practicable
following the closing of the Bookbuild.


Investec Bank Limited (“Investec”) is acting as sole bookrunner for the Equity Raise and can be contacted using
