PROPOSED DISPOSAL OF GRAND CENTRAL BUILDING
1. Introduction
Rebosis shareholders are hereby advised that the Company has, through its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Ascension Properties Limited ("Seller"), entered into an agreement (“Agreement”)
dated 2 August 2019 (“Signature Date”) with Dalopix Proprietary Limited (“Dalopix” or the
“Purchaser"), to dispose of the property letting enterprise situated on Erf 4648, Erf 4649 and Erf
4650, Cape Town, Western Cape, known as Grand Central Building (the “Property” or “Grand
Central Building”) for a cash consideration of R510 million (inclusive of VAT at zero percent)
(“Disposal Consideration”) (“Disposal”). Dalopix is represented by Mark Stillerman and the
Disposal will become effective on the date of transfer of the Property into the Purchaser’s name
(“Transfer Date”).
Shareholders are reminded of the previous announcement published by Rebosis on
5 October 2018 in relation to the proposed disposal of Grand Central Building and are advised that
it did not proceed to conclusion due to non-fulfilment of conditions precedent. The Company
therefore sought to conclude another agreement to give effect to the disposal of Grand Central
Building. The Disposal is thus in line with the Company’s intention to reduce its loan to value ratio
as outlined in the road-map included in the results announcement released by the Company on
SENS on 12 November 2018 and the pre-close presentation presented to Rebosis shareholders on
27 February 2019.
2. Terms and conditions of the Disposal
2.1 Disposal Consideration
The Disposal Consideration shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Seller as follows:
• R1 million deposit shall be payable by the Purchaser to the Seller’s conveyancers
5 days from the Signature Date; and
• R509 million on the Transfer Date (“Balance of the Disposal Consideration”).
The Disposal Consideration will escalate by 6% per annum from 1 December 2019 to the
Transfer Date.
2.2 Conditions precedent
The Disposal is subject to the fulfilment of the following outstanding conditions precedent:
2.2.1 within 5 business days of the Signature Date, the board of directors of the Purchaser
shall have approved the Disposal;
2.2.2 within 30 business days of the Signature Date, the Purchaser shall have furnished the
Seller with confirmation of funding in respect of the Balance of the Disposal
Consideration (comprising a cash component of R152.7 million and debt funding of an
amount of R356.3 million);
2.2.3 within 15 days from the date of the fulfilment of the condition in clause 2.2.2, the
Purchaser shall have furnished the Seller with guarantees from banks and/or financial
institutions, for the payment to the Seller of the Balance of the Disposal Consideration;
2.2.4 by not later than 75 days of the Signature Date, the shareholders of the Seller have
passed such ordinary and special resolutions as may be required in terms of the JSE
Limited Listings Requirements in respect of a category 1 transaction, and the
Companies Act, if any, in order to implement the Disposal;
2.2.5 within 10 business days after the date on which the condition precedent set out in
clause 2.2.3 has been fulfilled, the parties enter into a rental guarantee agreement in
respect of the approximate 18 800m2 leased to the Western Cape Education
Department (“WCED Lease”), based on a commencement rental of at least R115.00
per m2 plus VAT, which rental escalates at a rate of 6% per annum (calculated and
compounded annually) of each anniversary, for a period of 2 years from the Transfer
Date. The rental guarantee agreement will automatically lapse and be of no further
force and effect upon signature of the WCED Lease, on terms and conditions
reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser; and
2.2.6 within 90 days of the Signature Date, if required, the relevant Competition Authority
approves the Disposal, either unconditionally or subject to such conditions as the
parties both agree are acceptable to them.
The Agreement contains representations and warranties by the Seller in favour of the
Purchaser which are standard for a transaction of this nature.
