INCREASE IN AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL, AMENDMENTS TO THE MOI AND CIRCULAR TO
SHAREHOLDERS


1.   Introduction

Shareholders are advised that the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) proposes, subject to shareholders’
approval, an increase in the authorised share capital of the Company and certain amendments to the memorandum of
incorporation (“MOI”).


2.   Rationale for the increase in authorised share capital and amendments to the MOI

2.1. On 21 August 2023, shareholders were advised that the Company entered into a series of inter-conditional
     agreements with U Reit Collins Proprietary Limited (“UReit”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Castleview Property
     Fund Limited, in terms of which, if implemented, Collins will acquire from UReit the 25.7% of the issued shares of
     Collins Property Projects Proprietary Limited (“CPP”) that it does not own in exchange for the issue to UReit of in
     aggregate 72,751,197 new Collins ordinary shares (“the Proposed Transaction”), resulting in CPP becoming a
     wholly-owned subsidiary of Collins and UReit holding 21.78% of the issued ordinary shares of Collins.

2.2. The Board proposes an increase in the number of the Company’s authorised shares to enable the Company to
     implement the Proposed Transaction and to provide the Company with greater flexibility to raise new equity capital,
     at an appropriate time.


3.   Details of the increase in authorised share capital and amendments to the MOI

3.1. The Board proposes an increase in the number of the Company’s authorised ordinary shares (“Shares”) from
     310,000,000 Shares to 600,000,000 Shares and an increase in the number of the Company’s non-convertible,
     non-participating, non-transferable redeemable preference shares (“N Shares”) from 131,750,000 to 250,000,000
     N Shares.

3.2. In order to give effect to the increase in the number of authorised shares, it will be necessary for shareholders to
     approve the corresponding amendment to the MOI giving effect to such increase. The Company will remain listed
     in the “Real Estate Investment and Services” sub-sector of the main board of the JSE Limited (“JSE”) until such
     time as it has been granted REIT status by the JSE.

3.3. One of the conditions precedent to the Proposed Transaction is that Collins’ MOI be amended to include a provision
     to the effect that Collins will not voluntarily relinquish REIT status without first obtaining shareholder approval by
     way of an ordinary resolution.

3.4. In order to give effect to the above, it will be necessary for shareholders to approve a corresponding amendment
     to the MOI.


4.   Distribution of circular

4.1. The Board has resolved that the resolutions relating to the increase in authorised share capital and amendments
     to the MOI be approved by shareholders by written consent, in terms of section 60 of the Companies Act, No 71
     of 2008. As such, shareholders are entitled to exercise their voting rights in relation to the resolutions within 20
     business days after the resolutions have been dispatched to them.

4.2. A circular providing shareholders with relevant information relating to the increase in authorised share capital and
     amendments to the MOI, together with the written resolutions to be proposed to effect the increase in authorised
     share capital and amendments to the MOI (the "Resolutions") and a form of written consent (the “Circular”) has
     been distributed to shareholders today.

4.3. Copies of the Circular may be obtained from the registered office of the Company during office hours on business
     days from 21 September 2023, at the address set out in the “Corporate Information” section of the Circular. A copy
     of the Circular will also be available on Collins’ website http://www.tradehold.co.za/investor-centre/circulars/2023.
