           Arrowhead shareholders for the scheme consideration, being 0.8237 Gemgrow B ordinary shares for
           every Arrowhead share acquired; and
       •   the delisting of all Arrowhead shares from the JSE in the event that the scheme is successfully

     website at www.arrowheadproperties.co.za.

     3rd Floor, Upper Building, 1 Sturdee Avenue, Rosebank at any time during normal business hours until

3.    Posting of the category 1 circular, prospectus and notices of the Gemgrow combined general
      meeting and separate general meetings of the Gemgrow A shareholders and the Gemgrow B
      shareholders

      Shareholders of Arrowhead and Gemgrow are advised that Gemgrow has, on Monday, 22 July 2019,
      posted a circular to Gemgrow shareholders (“category 1 circular”) relating to:

       •   the offer by Gemgrow to acquire the entire issued share capital of Arrowhead, by way of a scheme
           of arrangement in terms of section 114 of the Companies Act of 2008, for the scheme consideration,
           being 0.8237 Gemgrow B ordinary shares for every Arrowhead share acquired;

       •   authorisation for the Gemgrow board to allot, issue and procure the listing of 862,972,109
           authorised but unissued Gemgrow B shares required to settle the consideration for the acquisition
           of the scheme shares;
       •   the change of Gemgrow’s name to “Arrowhead Properties Limited”; and
       •   changes to Gemgrow’s board of directors.
      The category 1 circular contains:

       •   a notice convening a general meeting of Gemgrow shareholders to be held at 11:00 on Thursday,
           22 August 2019 at 3rd Floor, Upper Building, 1 Sturdee Avenue, Rosebank, to consider and, if
           deemed fit, pass the resolutions required to implement the transaction (“combined general
           meeting”); and
       •   is accompanied by a prospectus in respect of Gemgrow as it will be constituted after the
           implementation of the transaction.
       Furthermore the category 1 circular contains an amendment of Gemgrow’s MOI to convert the treasury
       shares arising pursuant to the transaction to redeemable shares (“redeemable share resolutions”);
       and accordingly the category 1 circular contains notices convening:
       •   a separate general meeting of Gemgrow A shareholders to be held at 11:30 on Thursday, 22
           August 2019, at 3rd Floor Upper Building, 1 Sturdee Avenue, Rosebank, for the purpose of
           considering and, if deemed fit, passing with or without modification, the redeemable share
           resolutions; and
       •   a separate general meeting of Gemgrow B shareholders to be held at 12:00 on Thursday, 22
           August 2019, at 3rd Floor Upper Building, 1 Sturdee Avenue, Rosebank for the purpose of
           considering and, if deemed fit, passing with or without modification, the redeemable share
           resolutions,
      (collectively referred to as “the separate general meetings”).
      The redeemable share conversion and subsequent redemption will have no impact on the Gemgrow A
      or Gemgrow B shareholders, save for Arrowhead which holds the Gemgrow B shares which will become
      treasury shares pursuant to the transaction.
      The category 1 circular and prospectus are also available for inspection in electronic format on
      Gemgrow’s website at www.gemgrow.co.za.
      A copy of the category 1 circular and prospectus will be available for inspection at Gemgrow’s offices at
