PROPOSED DISPOSAL OF PORTFOLIO OF PROPERTIES FOR AN AGGREGATE CONSIDERATION OF
CIRCA R700 MILLION

BEE ANNUAL COMPLIANCE REPORT


1. Introduction and rationale

Rebosis shareholders are hereby advised that the Company has, through its wholly-owned subsidiary
Ascension Properties Limited (the “Seller”), entered into a portfolio sale agreement dated 20 February
2019 (the “Sale Agreement”) to dispose of a portfolio of seven properties (the “Properties”) together
with the commercial enterprises which the Seller operates separately in respect of letting each
Property (“Rental Enterprises”), as an indivisible whole and as a going concern, in its office portfolio,
to Fortune Capital (Proprietary) Limited (company registration number 2014/094485/07)(the “Purchaser”) 
(the “Disposal”).

The Purchaser is a 100% black owned diversified investment group of which Nhlanhla Magubane is the
sole shareholder and director.

The Disposal, comprising of office buildings, further demonstrates Rebosis’ commitment to
transformation in the property sector and forms part of the Company’s strategy to be a retail-focused
fund and to reduce the Company’s gearing in line with the road-map outlined in the results
announcement released on the Stock Exchange News Service on 12 November 2018. The proceeds of
the Disposal will be used to reduce the existing debt of the Company. The Disposal will become
effective on the date of registration of transfer of the Properties into the name of the Purchaser
(“Transfer Date” or “Transfer”).


2. The Disposal

In terms of the Sale Agreement, the Properties will be disposed of for an individual purchase
consideration (in respect of each Property, “Individual Purchase Consideration”) as follows:

  Property                      Individual Purchase Consideration
  Mishumo House                 R70 338 000
  Swiss House                   R127 005 000
  Prorom Building               R54 232 000
  Riverpark                     R63 015 000
  Riverview                     R50 146 000
  Schreiner Chambers            R221 713 000
  Medscheme Building            R109 880 000
  Total                         R696 329 000

The aggregate purchase consideration payable by the Purchaser to the Seller for the Properties in
terms of the Sale Agreement is R696 329 000, including value added tax (“VAT”) at the rate of 0% or
10.5% yield on 12 months forward income, whichever is the greater (the “Purchase Consideration”).

2.1 The consideration payable for the Disposal

2.1.1     The Purchase Consideration shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Seller as follows:
               -   R696 329 000, including VAT at 0% or 10.5% yield on 12 months forward income,
                   whichever is the greater on the Transfer Date, and will be discharged by the Purchaser
                   by means of payment to the conveyancers appointed by the Seller (the “Conveyancers”),
                   in cash, on the Transfer Date and against transfer of the Properties.
               -   The payment of the Individual Purchase Consideration in respect of each Property shall
                   be paid by the Purchaser to the Seller against registration of transfer of ownership of
                   the applicable Property into the name of the Purchaser.
2.1.2     The Individual Purchase Consideration in respect of each Property shall be increased by an
          amount ("Additional Amount") determined by applying to such Individual Purchase
          Consideration the percentage rate obtained by multiplying the rate of 10.5%, calculated and
          expressed as an effective daily rate, by the number of days elapsed between 3 June 2019 and
          the Transfer Date of that Property, excluding the first day and including the last day of that
          period. The Seller and the Purchaser (the “Parties”) have agreed that in the event that there
          is a delay in Transfer, which is caused by external factors beyond the control of both Parties,
          then the date of 3 June 2019 shall be extended to 3 July 2019. If the delay still continues and
          Transfer has not taken place, then the adjustment to the Purchase Consideration shall be
          applicable with effect from 3 July 2019.
2.1.3     The Purchaser will procure a loan, mezzanine funding and equity for the Disposal and the Seller
          shall be willing, but not obliged, to assist with equity in the form of a vendor loan at the
          appropriate time.

2.2 Warranties

The Sale Agreement governing the Disposal contains representations and warranties by the Seller in
favour of the Purchaser which are standard for transactions of this nature.
