CATEGORY 2 ACQUISITION ANNOUNCEMENT
1. INTRODUCTION
Shareholders are advised that on 27 September 2019, the Company, through its wholly-
owned subsidiary STADIO Corporate Services Proprietary Limited, entered into a sale of
immovable property agreement (“Agreement”) with the property developer, M&T
Holdings Proprietary Limited and its wholly-owned subsidiary JR 209 Investments
Proprietary Limited (“Seller”), in terms of which the Company will purchase the immovable
properties owned by the Seller known as Erf 3150 Highveld Extension 112, Registration
Division Tshwane, Province of Gauteng, measuring 2,6989 hectares and Erf 3151
Highveld Extension 113, Registration Division Tshwane, Province of Gauteng, measuring

(“Properties”) and the unfinished mothballed improvements erected thereon
(“Improvements”) from the Seller for a purchase consideration of R110 000 000
(“Purchase Consideration”) (“Acquisition”).
2. RATIONALE FOR THE ACQUISITION
It is the intention of STADIO to consolidate the programmes offered by its various
institutions under a single brand, STADIO Multiversity. This will allow STADIO to become
a material player in the higher education space providing a multi-faculty offering for
students.
STADIO believes the Properties and the Improvements thereon are suitable for, and the
Acquisition will allow, the construction of a multi-faculty higher education campus,
accommodating up to 4 000 students, and as such, it is expected that STADIO will open
its first large-scale, multi-faculty campus in Centurion in January 2021.
3. PURCHASE CONSIDERATION
The Purchase Consideration (which is exclusive of VAT) shall be payable by the
Purchaser to the Seller, in cash, against registration of the transfer of the Properties into
the name of the Purchaser.

been successfully rezoned to a “place of instruction” (subject to such conditions as
may be acceptable to STADIO, in its sole discretion); and
- STADIO receiving confirmation and proof, to its satisfaction, that all the required and
relevant regulatory approvals, consents and certificates, including the approval of the
rezoning as noted above, have been received.

the Purchaser (“Transfer Date”).
