("Barloworld")
AMENDMENT TO THE TERMS OF THE B-BBEE TRANSACTION
Background
Shareholders of Barloworld approved the broad-based black economic empowerment transaction ("Khula Sizwe Transaction")
on 14 February 2019, based on the circular to shareholders dated 18 December 2018 ("the Circular") (terms defined in
the Circular shall have the same meaning in this announcement unless otherwise defined). In terms of the Khula Sizwe
Transaction, Barloworld will dispose of a significant portion of its property portfolio to Propco, which properties will be
leased by Propco to various subsidiaries of Barloworld. Subsequent to the abovementioned Barloworld Shareholder approval,
the operational requirements within the Barloworld Equipment division have necessitated changes to the existing
property portfolio that forms part of the Khula Sizwe Transaction.
The properties detailed below are currently part of the property portfolio to be sold to Propco as part of the Khula
Sizwe Transaction. However, Barloworld has determined that these properties do not meet the long-term requirements of
Barloworld. Barloworld and Propco accordingly wish to exclude these properties from the Khula Sizwe Transaction so that
Barloworld's subsidiaries would not be under an obligation to lease these properties from Propco under the Khula Sizwe
Transaction. The following properties are now to be excluded from the property portfolio being sold under the Khula Sizwe
Transaction ("Excluded Properties"), as set out below:

Total of properties to

The properties detailed below ("New Properties") are to be acquired or have additional capital expenditure spent
by Barloworld, and therefore increase the value of the property portfolio to be sold to Propco as part of the
Khula Sizwe Transaction:

Collectively, the property transactions referred to in the tables above are the "New Property Transactions".

Furthermore, Barloworld has taken this opportunity to process certain other clean-up amendments, including inserting
the exact amounts relating to the Employee Trust Contribution and the subscription price in the Employee Trust
Subscription Agreement (reflected as R174 000 000, to be increased to R174 304 000), as well as the Management Trust
Loan and the subscription price in the Management Trust Subscription Agreement (reflected as R206 800 000, to be
increased to R206 986 000), which were previously rounded in the agreements themselves.
The Amendments
The New Property Transactions affect the terms of the agreements entered into in relation to the Khula Sizwe
Transaction, being the Transaction Agreements. In addition, Barloworld is taking the opportunity to make other
minor clean-up amendments to the Transaction Agreements. The Transaction Agreements will accordingly be amended
to provide for, inter alia, the following ("Amendments"):
1. Deletion of the Excluded Properties from the schedules of properties (i) to be sold by Barloworld to Propco, and
(ii) to be leased by Propco to subsidiaries of Barloworld;
2. Addition of the New Properties to the schedules of properties (i) to be sold by Barloworld to Propco, and (ii) to
be leased by Propco to subsidiaries of Barloworld;
3. Decrease in the purchase price for the property portfolio being sold to Propco - aggregate purchase price to be
decreased by R6 051 500;
4. Decrease the aggregate of the rental amounts payable by Barloworld SA and Barloworld Logistics to Barloworld under
and in terms of the Property Lease Agreements by an amount which takes account of the decrease to the aggregate
purchase price payable for the Properties;
5. Increase the Employee Trust Contribution and the subscription price in the Employee Trust Subscription Agreement
from R174 000 000 to R174 304 000; and
6. Increase the Management Trust Loan and the subscription price in the Management Trust Subscription Agreement from
R206 800 000 to R206 986 000.
Rationale for the Amendments
The rationale for the changes to the previously defined properties is to address the operational requirements within
the Barloworld Equipment division and the consequential changes to the property portfolio being sold to Propco.
The Amendments are required in order to ensure that the Transaction Agreements, as amended, accurately identify the
properties being sold to Propco and the value at which those properties will be disposed, in addition to effecting the
necessary consequential changes.
The other amendments are to clean-up previous minor errors in the Transaction Agreements.
Pro forma financial effects of the Amendments

Notes to pro forma financials
PRO FORMA A - 30% Black Public Scheme
1. Finance costs
As a result of the amendments to the Khula Sizwe Transaction, the value of the Properties acquired by Propco from
Barloworld is reduced by R6 million to R2 716 million (originally R2 722 million per the Circular). Propco's
purchase of the Properties will be funded 20% equity and 80% external debt. Propco will obtain external debt
of R2 172 million (originally R2 178 million per the Circular) to fund the acquisition.
The reduction in debt and improved interest rates, 9,59% (originally 9,96% per Circular) result in the finance
charge decreasing by R7 million to R210 million (originally R217 million per Circular).
2. Tax
The reduction of the finance charge and increase in transaction costs resulted in an increased tax charge of
R2 million (R6 million at 28% corporate tax rate) to R167 million (originally R165 million).
3. IFRS 2: Share-based payment expense
The total IFRS 2 charge for the Employee Trust is R174 million (no change from the Circular) and R103 million for
the Management Trust (originally R108 million per the Circular). These charges will be amortised over two years
for Employees and five years for Management in accordance with the vesting period as detailed in paragraph 7 of
the Circular. The impact on Propco is an adjustment in equity only. These transactions continue over the
vesting period.
R'million
Annual IFRS 2 charge - Employees 87
Annual IFRS 2 charge - Management 21
Annual IFRS 2 charge - Total 108
The change in the IFRS 2 charge results in an annual decrease of R1 million to the amount as reported in the
Circular (originally R109 million per annum).
4. Transaction costs
The property amendments have resulted in an increase in transaction costs of R1 million, bringing the total
transaction costs to R38 million (originally R37 million per the Circular).
5. Effect on balance sheet
The Amendments result in reduced cash in Barloworld and increased debt and equity in Propco. However, the
impact on the net asset value per Share and tangible net asset value per Share is less than 0,00 cents and
less than 0,00%.
PRO FORMA B
The notes of pro forma A remain applicable to pro forma B other than those detailed below.
2. Tax
The reduction of the finance charge and increase in transaction costs resulted in an increased tax charge of
R2 million (R6 million at 28% corporate tax rate) to R166 million (originally R164 million).
3. IFRS 2: Share-based payment expense
The total IFRS 2 charge for the Employee Trust and the Management Trust is R174 million and R129 million
respectively (no change from the original IFRS 2 charges per the Circular). These charges will be amortised
over two years for Employees and five years for Management in accordance with the vesting period as detailed
in paragraph 7 of the Circular. The impact on Propco is an adjustment in equity only. These transactions
continue over the vesting period.
R'million
Annual IFRS 2 charge - Employees 87
Annual IFRS 2 charge - Management 26
Annual IFRS 2 charge - Total 113
PRO FORMA C
The notes of pro forma A remain applicable to pro forma C other than those detailed below.
2. Tax
The reduction of the finance charge and increase in transaction costs resulted in an increased tax charge of
R2 million (R6 million at 28% corporate tax rate) to R164 million (originally R162 million).
3. IFRS 2: Share-based payment expense
The total IFRS 2 charge for the Employee Trust is R174 million (no change from the Circular) and R186 million
(R190 million per Circular) for the Management Trust. These charges will be amortised over two years for
Employees and five years for Management in accordance with the vesting period as detailed in paragraph 7 of
the Circular. The impact on Propco is an adjustment in equity only. These transactions continue over the
vesting period.
R'million
Annual IFRS 2 charge - Employees 87
Annual IFRS 2 charge - Management 37
Annual IFRS 2 charge - Total 124
The change in the IFRS 2 charge results in an annual decrease of R1 million to the amount as reported in the Circular
(originally R125 million per annum).
Opinion
The Amendments do not, in the opinion of the Board, the Legal Adviser to Barloworld, the Independent Property Valuer
and the Independent Expert, affect the overall guiding principles and intention of the Khula Sizwe Transaction in terms
of which Barloworld is seeking to maintain or improve its BEE Status as a business imperative to operating in South
Africa; based on which Barloworld obtained the approval of Barloworld Shareholders in the General Meeting held on
14 February 2019. This rationale for the Khula Sizwe Transaction will be met in that Barloworld will still be disposing
of a material property portfolio to Propco resulting in the creation of a broad-based empowered property entity and
the disposal will confer BEE ownership points to Barloworld in terms of Statement 102 of the BEE Codes.
In addition:
1. The net impact on the Disposal Consideration under the Transaction Agreements will be a decrease of R6 051 500,
representing a 0,22% decrease;
2. The net impact on the future market value under the Transaction Agreements will be a decrease of R6 370 000,
representing a 0,22% decrease;
3. The net impact on the as-is value of the property portfolio will be a decrease of R26 000 000, representing a
0,94% decrease;
4. The net impact on the aggregate annual rental amounts payable by Barloworld SA and Barloworld Logistics under and
in terms of the Property Lease Agreements will be a decrease of R777 918, representing a 0,31% decrease in the
aggregate annual rental amounts payable under and in terms of Property Lease Agreements;
5. The net impact of the increase in the Employee Trust Contribution and subscription price in the Employee Trust
Subscription Agreement from R174 000 000 to R174 304 000, represents a 0,17% increase; and
6. The net impact of the increase in the Management Trust Loan and the subscription price in the Management Trust
Subscription Agreement from R206 800 000 to R206 986 000, represents a 0,09% increase.
Therefore, in the opinions of the Board, the Legal Adviser, the Independent Property Valuer and the Independent
Expert, the Amendments are:
(i) not material; and
(ii) not in conflict with the approved Khula Sizwe Transaction.
On the basis of the Independent Property Valuer's revised valuation and the Independent Expert's statement that the
Amendments will not result in a change to the outcome of their fairness opinion issued on 7 December 2018 (which states
that the terms and conditions of the Khula Sizwe Transaction are fair to Barloworld Shareholders), the Board is of the
opinion that the Khula Sizwe Transaction remains fair insofar as Barloworld Shareholders are concerned.
Based on the above, the Board, the Legal Adviser, the Independent Property Valuer and the Independent Expert are of
the opinion that the Amendments do not require the further approval of Barloworld Shareholders in general meeting.
No objection
A submission was made to the JSE in accordance with Guidance Letter: Amending transaction terms as approved by
shareholders issued on 8 May 2012.
The JSE has issued a no objection letter in respect of the Amendments to the approved Khula Sizwe Transaction not
being referred back to Barloworld Shareholders.
As a result, the Amendments to the approved Khula Sizwe Transaction will not be referred back to Barloworld
Shareholders for approval.
Documents for inspection
A copy of the addendum to the Transaction Agreements reflecting the Amendments is available for inspection at
Barloworld's registered office (61 Katherine Street, Sandown, Sandton, 2196) during normal business hours from
Tuesday, 9 April 2019 to Tuesday, 30 April 2019.
