ACQUISITION OF 51% OF NIKOS COALGRILL GREEK

Spur Corporation is to expand its restaurant portfolio with the acquisition of a
51% stake in the fast-growing franchise restaurant group Nikos Coalgrill Greek.
Nikos Coalgrill Greek currently operates six franchised restaurants, with a further
four outlets confirmed to open in the coming months.

The first Nikos Coalgrill Greek restaurant opened in Durban North in March 2017
and the two most recent outlets opened in Sandton and Randpark Ridge in April
this year. The other outlets are in Ballito, Fourways and Pretoria East.

Spur Corporation will acquire the 51% shareholding from the founding family
members, Peter, Nicolette and Nicholas Triandafillou and Pano Economou, who
will retain the balance of the shareholding and continue to manage the business
with the support of the Spur group’s franchising expertise.

The purchase consideration will be calculated based on a five-times earnings
multiple after year three. Spur Corporation will have an option to acquire an
additional 19% shareholding after three years.

Spur Corporation CEO Pierre van Tonder said: “We believe the Nikos Coalgrill
Greek brand has the potential to expand to around 50 restaurants nationally over
the next few years. We are pleased to be able to retain the services and
expertise of the founders who are passionate about the Nikos brand and
traditional Greek food.

“As a multi-brand restaurant franchisor we are experienced in acquiring and
expanding niche restaurant concepts. Our most recent acquisition, RocoMamas,
has grown from five outlets when we bought the business in 2015 to a national
footprint of 64 restaurants with a further six outside South Africa.”

Nikos Coalgrill Greek will be the eighth restaurant brand in Spur Corporation’s
growing portfolio after Spur Steak Ranches, Panarottis Pizza Pasta, John Dory’s,
The Hussar Grill, RocoMamas, Casa Bella and Spur Grill And Go.

The acquisition is subject to a due diligence evaluation and the effective date of
the transaction will be 1 August 2018.
