CATEGORY 2 DISPOSAL ANNOUNCEMENT


1. INTRODUCTION

   Shareholders of the Company (“Shareholders”) are advised that on 1 October 2021, the
   Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Kaap Agri Bedryf Limited (“KAB”),
   entered into an agreement (“Agreement”) with TFC Properties Proprietary Limited (“TFC
   Properties”), TFC Operations Proprietary Limited (“TFC Operations”), Empowerment
   and Transformation Investments Proprietary Limited (“ETI”), C-Max Investments 71
   Proprietary Limited (“C-Max”) and Buffdaxco 30 Proprietary Limited (“Purchaser”), in
   terms of which, inter alia, KAB will dispose of all of its shares, comprising 70,5% of the
   entire issued share in and claims against TFC Properties to the Purchaser (“Sale Equity”)
   (“Disposal”).


2. RATIONALE FOR THEDISPOSAL APPLICATION OF THE DISPOSAL CONSIDERATION
   
2.1.       The historical rationale for acquiring retail fuel and convenience properties was
           aligned with the strategic drive of footprint growth in this new market. Given that TFC
           has now successfully entered the retail fuel and convenience markets, and upon
           reviewing the returns generated on capital invested, it has been decided to dispose
           of TFC Properties, and in doing so enter into long term leases to ensure tenure on its
           fuel retail sites.

2.2.       Proceeds from the disposal of TFC properties will in the interim be used to reduce
           borrowings and provide dry powder for higher return generating acquisition
           opportunities.

3. DESCRIPTION OF TFC PROPERTIES

   TFC Properties is a property holding entity owning 21 immovable properties on which fuel
   stations with quick service restaurants and other retail tenants operate, the details of which
   are set out below (“Immovable Properties”).

4. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATION

4.1.       The enterprise value of the Company is R502 000 000 (five hundred and two million
           Rand), which is based on the fair value of the Company portfolio (“Enterprise Value”)
           equating to a disposal yield to Shareholders of 10.2%. The equity value of the
           Company is equal to the Enterprise Value of the Company less the shareholder loan
           claims of KAB which are outstanding as at the Effective Date (“Equity Value”).

4.2.       The purchase consideration payable by the Purchaser to KAB for the Sale Equity is
           the aggregate of the shareholder loans of KAB outstanding as at the Effective Date
           plus KAB’s 70.5% shareholding held in the issued share capital of the Company
           multiplied by the Equity Value (“Purchase Consideration”).

4.3.       Based on the projected shareholder loan balances as at the Effective Date the
           estimated Purchase Consideration payable to KAB taking into account its Equity
           Value and shareholder loan balance approximates to R445,603,643.
