DETAILED CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING THE PROPOSED DISPOSAL OF
ERF 25312 KUILS RIVER, A PROPOSED PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND
RENEWAL OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT
1. Introduction
Shareholders are referred to the cautionary announcement published on SENS on
28 November 2018 and are advised that Visual International Proprietary Limited
(“Visual” or “the Seller”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company is in advanced
negotiations regarding a disposal of land agreement (“Disposal” or “Disposal
Agreement”) and a property development management agreement (“Development
Management Agreement”) with Makoro Property Developers (Pty) Ltd (“Makoro” or
“the Purchaser”) in respect of the property described as Erf 25312 Kuils River, situated
in the registration division of Stellenbosch in extent of 2,77179 hectares (“Stellendale
Junction”).
In terms of the same negotiations, it is intended the Makoro will also conclude a loan
agreement with the Company, Visual and My Place Trust in terms of which it will lend
the Company an amount of R2 000 000 (R2 million), which amount will incur interest at
3% above the prime rate charged by ABSA Bank and is repayable on or before 31
January 2020 (“Loan Agreement”).
The effective date of the Disposal and the Development Management Agreement
will be the date of transfer of the Property into the name of the Seller (“Transfer”), whilst
the effective date of the Loan will be 5 (five) calendar days after the date of fulfilment
of the suspensive conditions to the Loan.
2. Terms of the Disposal and Application of Disposal Proceeds
The disposal consideration of R10 million, plus VAT (if applicable) will be paid to the
Seller against Transfer. The Purchaser will furnish the Seller with a guarantee of funds
within 7 (seven) calendar days after being requested to do so by the appointed
conveyancer, subject to such request not being made prior to the fulfilment of all the
suspensive conditions.
The proceeds of the Disposal together with the Loan will be utilised by the Company
for working capital purposes.
3. Rationale for the Disposal and the Development Management Agreement
The rationale for the Disposal is to enable the development of Stellendale Junction
(the “Project”). In terms of the Development Management Agreement, Makoro will
appoint the Company to manage and co-ordinate the implementation of the Project
on its behalf and the Company will be remunerated by Makoro for its development
management work on the Project as follows:
(i) 50% of the profit share before tax (after the deduction of development costs,
property recoupment and property interest) on apartments, units and/or erven
that are sold to third party investors and owner occupier buyers; and
(ii) In instances where Makoro or any fund, company or trust nominated buy it,
buys units or apartments:
(a) if the Company has sold 40 or more apartments or units to third parties
during the 12 months preceding the sale of any units to Makoro, the
average unit selling price achieved minus agent’s commission (if
applicable) and property recoupment and property interest; or
(b) in instances where less than 40 apartments or units were sold to third parties
during the 12 months preceding the sale of any units to Makoro, a flat fee
of R35 000 (thirty-five thousand Rand) per apartment or unit, which fee will
escalate at 5% per annum from the effective date.
