DISPOSAL OF JANE FURSE CROSSING TO DEPOWAY PROPRIETARY LIMITED


1.    INTRODUCTION

      Shareholders are advised that Moolgem Proprietary Limited (the “Seller”), a subsidiary of Cumulative Properties Limited, which is a wholly-owned
      subsidiary of the Company, has, on 3 September 2020 (the “Signature Date”), entered into an agreement (the “Sale Agreement”) with Depoway
      Proprietary Limited (the “Purchaser”) to dispose of the rental enterprise comprising Jane Furse Crossing in Limpopo, (the “Property”) as a going
      concern (the “Rental Enterprise”), for an aggregate disposal consideration of R174 000 000 (the “Purchase Consideration”)(the “Transaction”).


2.    RATIONALE

      The Transaction is in line with Arrowhead’s previously announced disposal programme aimed at repositioning the Company’s property portfolio through
      strategic disposals. The proceeds of the Transaction will be used to reduce debt in line with Arrowhead’s intention to improve gearing and strengthen the
      Company’s balance sheet.


3.    TERMS OF THE TRANSACTION

      3.1.   The Transfer Date of the Transaction is the date of registration of transfer of ownership of the Property into the name of the Purchaser with such
             date expected to occur on or about 3 months from the date of signature of the Sale Agreement, but no later than 31 March 2021, at which point the
             Seller has the right to cancel the Sale Agreement by notice and any party who has performed in terms thereof will be restored to its position quo
             ante.

      3.2.   On the Transfer Date, delivery of the Rental Enterprise will take place, and all risks and benefits of ownership of the Rental Enterprise and the
             Property shall pass to the Purchaser.

      3.3.   The assets of the Rental Enterprise comprise the Property and all rights, title and interests of the Seller in and to the existing rental agreements
             between the Seller and the tenants occupying the Property as at 3 September 2020.

      3.4.   The Purchaser shall be entitled to conduct a due diligence investigation in respect of the Rental Enterprise, including all matters relating to the
             Property as the Purchaser may reasonably deem relevant (the “Due Diligence Investigation”).

      3.5.   The Purchase Consideration (which includes value-added tax levied at a rate of 0%) will be payable in cash on the Transfer Date. To the extent
             that the Rental Enterprise has not been transferred to the Purchaser on or before 31 January 2021, the Purchase Consideration shall escalate on a
             pro rata basis by 0.66% per month compounded monthly in arrears calculated with effect from 1 February 2021 up to and including the Transfer
             Date, provided that the delay in transferring the property is not as a result of any event or circumstance beyond either the Purchaser or the Seller’s
             control.

      3.6.   The Sale Agreement provides for undertakings, warranties and indemnities which are normal for transactions of this nature.
