ACQUISITION OF A RETAIL SHOPPING CENTRE IN SPAIN
1. Introduction
Shareholders and noteholders are advised that on 21 December 2023 (the "Signature Date"), the Company's
affiliate, Bacanati Investments S.L.U., ("Propco" or the "Purchaser"), entered into a binding sale and
purchase agreement (with an attached agreed notarial deed of sale) (the "Agreement") with DWS Grundbesitz
GmbH Sucursal en Espana (the "Seller"), owned by a Frankfurt-based asset management company,
Grundbesitz Europa, to acquire a retail shopping centre, Salera Centro Comercial (the "Property" or
"Salera"), which will be the sole asset of Propco, for a total gross purchase consideration of EUR171 million
("Purchase Consideration") (the "Acquisition").
The Purchase Consideration represents an annualised net initial yield of 7,7% (inclusive of transaction costs)
based on the forecast 2024 net operating income.
The Acquisition is structured such that Propco will acquire the Property. Prior to the Signature Date, Resilient
acquired 50% of the issued shares of Propco's holding company ("Holdco"). Lighthouse Properties p.l.c. holds
the remaining 50% of Holdco's issued shares. Propco will not initially utilise bank funding for the Acquisition,
although it intends to introduce senior bank debt of approximately 45% of the acquisition price in due course.
2. Salera
Salera, in the city of Castellon de la Plana, opened in 2006 and is the dominant regional shopping centre in the
province of Castellon (c. 600 000 inhabitants). The shopping centre provides a comprehensive retail offering of
68 752m2, including a 13 693m2 Alcampo Hypermarket. The Alcampo Hypermarket is under separate ownership
and does not form part of the Acquisition.
Salera is fully let to 147 major international and national tenants including Primark, H&M, JD Sports, FNAC,
Primor, C&A and eight Inditex brands (Zara, Massimo Dutti, Lefties, Bershka, Pull&Bear, Oysho, Zara Home
and Stradivarius). The entertainment offering includes a 14-screen cinema, an arcade, bowling, as well as a food
court. The shopping centre's current annual footfall is 9 million, which is 8,7% above 2019 levels.
The shopping centre is well located with easy access to the A-7 motorway (the main motorway between Valencia
and Barcelona) and has no direct competition within 100 km.
3. Rationale
The Acquisition is in line with Resilient's strategy to invest in dominant retail centres in regions with strong
economic fundamentals.
4. Terms of the Acquisition
The Company's 50% portion of the Purchase Consideration is EUR 85,5 million (exclusive of transaction costs).
The full (100%) Purchase Consideration will be paid by Propco to the Seller, in cash, with an advance payment
of 10% being paid on the Signature Date. The balance of the Purchase Consideration will be paid on the closing
date of the Acquisition, which will occur when the transfer deed is signed and the Property transfers to Propco
(the "Closing Date").
The effective date of the Acquisition will be the Closing Date, which date is anticipated as being no later than
29 February 2024.
5. Conditions precedent, warranties and other terms
The Acquisition is not subject to any conditions precedent.
The Agreement contains warranties, undertakings and indemnities in favour of the Purchaser, which are standard
for a transaction of this nature and which will be covered by relevant warranty and indemnity insurance with a
reputable insurer.

2. The Forecast is based on information derived from the budgets and rental contracts provided by the Seller.
3. Contracted revenue is based on existing lease agreements including stipulated increases, as well as expected
indexation, all of which are valid and enforceable.
4. 97% of rental income is contracted. The remaining 3% of rental income represents renewals, which have
been forecast at similar rentals to their current levels.
5. Property operating expenditure has been forecast by the property manager (CBRE Spain) based on the 2024
approved budget.
6. The forecast net profit after taxation is similar to net property income as this transaction represents a
property acquisition and does not include applicable corporate taxes.
8. Categorisation of the Acquisition
The Acquisition is classified as a category 2 transaction in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements and
accordingly no shareholder approval is required.
