AGREEMENTS WITH RELATED PARTIES


Agreement with Renlia Developments Proprietary Limited ("Renlia")

Shareholders are advised that in October 2022, the Company and Renlia concluded a verbal agreement in terms of which
Renlia will secure the renewal of the leases for certain specified tenants and provide project management services for
Newpark's capital projects on an ad hoc basis. Lease renewal terms and any capital projects which are subject to the
agreement require the prior approval of the board of Newpark.

The term of the agreement is unspecified and may be terminated upon notice being given by either Newpark or Renlia.
The agreement is not subject to any outstanding conditions precedent.

Renlia is a property investment and development company primarily focused on office, industrial and residential
opportunities. Newpark believes that Renlia has the requisite technical expertise and experience in the property industry,
and strong tenant relationships, to provide the required services in a cost effective manner rather than employing the
services of independent consultants.

As consideration for rendering the services pursuant to the agreement, the Company will pay Renlia in cash as follows:
-     asset management fee of 0.5% of the asset value of the property, payable on the successful lease renewal for the
      single tenanted properties which has now been completed; and
-     project management fee of 2.5% of Newpark's share of approved project costs for capital projects, payable on the
      completion of the projects.

To date the following fees have been paid to Renlia:

                                                                                                      Consideration
