JP Baxter                                                                                                15 000
Counterpoint Boutique Proprietary Limited                                                            50 000 000
Total                                                                                                50 078 280

Safari is a JSE listed property owning company with a portfolio of retail, office and residential properties, with
the majority of its assets being retail properties in and around Pretoria. The acquisition of additional Safari
shares is in line with Heriot's stated strategy to increase its shareholding in Safari, as Heriot considers Safari's
property portfolio to be complementary to the property portfolio owned by the company, and that such enhanced
shareholding will allow Heriot to expand its real estate investments.

The following profitability metrics are attributable to Safari for the year ended 31 March 2021:

Distributable earnings per share (cents)                                                                 29.00
Basic earnings per share (cents)                                                                        103.78
Headline earnings per share (cents)                                                                      37.92

The acquisition of Safari shares constitutes a category 2 acquisition and is therefore not subject to shareholder
approval.
