                                  OPENING OF ACCELERATED BOOKBUILD


IAPF hereby announces the launch of an equity raising of approximately R330 million (approximately AUD30
million) through the issue of new IAPF units (“Equity Raise”) subject to pricing acceptable to IAPF. The Equity
Raise will be completed by way of IAPF’s existing general authority to issue units for cash (“the General Issue
for Cash”). Only public investors (as defined in under paragraph 4.25 and 4.26 of the JSE Listings
Requirements) may participate in the General Issue for Cash.

The Equity Raise will be utilised to part fund the acquisition of prime grade office property known as The Majestic
Centre, located at 100 Willis Street, Wellington, New Zealand, further details of which were announced on SENS
on Monday, 13 November 2017.

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 South African Companies Act, No. 71 of 2008, as amended.

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

The new IAPF units, when issued, will be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with
existing units of the Fund. 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
the contact details included below.
