Growthpoint Properties Limited Approved as a REIT by the JSE (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Registration number: 1987/004988/06) Share code: GRT ISIN: ZAE000179420 POSTING OF CIRCULAR AND NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING: FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN ANTICIPATION OF A PROPOSED BROAD BASED OWNERSHIP SCHEME AS WELL AS NOTICE OF A MANAGEMENT CALL WITH SHAREHOLDERS Growthpoint Shareholders (“Shareholders”) are advised that a circular has been posted today Wednesday, 21 June 2023 seeking approval of financial assistance by Growthpoint in terms of Section 44 of the Companies Act, no. 71 of 2008 (the "Companies Act"), as amended (“the Circular”). The proposed financial assistance authority is necessary for the purposes of establishing and implementing a proposed new broad-based ownership scheme ("B-BOS") which will enhance Growthpoint's Broad- Based Black Economic Empowerment credentials and assist Growthpoint in achieving its equity ownership targets as set out in the Property Sector Code. The proposed B-BOS will be broadly implemented as follows: • A discretionary trust will be established, complying with the B-BOS requirements (issued in terms of the Broad- Based Black Economic Empowerment Act, 53 of 2003 (the "B-BBEE Act")) and the requirements for a public benefit organisation (in terms of the Income Tax Act, 1962) (the "Trust"). • R250 million worth of Growthpoint ordinary shares (the "Shares") (representing less than 0,6%of the Growthpoint ordinary shares in issue), held by Growthpoint's wholly owned subsidiary, Growthpoint Management Services (Pty) Ltd, as treasury shares, will be sold to the Trust on the basis that the Shares have been valued at R12,50 per share for the purposes of the sale. The Shares, on transfer to the Trust, will have full voting rights and will be entitled to dividends on the same basis as all the other ordinary shares in the share capital of Growthpoint which are not treasury shares. • The acquisition by the Trust of the Shares will be financed by way of a loan in the amount of R250 million by Growthpoint (or another Group company) to the Trust (the "Loan") on the terms of the loan agreement to be entered into between Growthpoint (or another Group company) and the Trust (the "Loan Agreement"). Growthpoint can only give effect to the Loan Agreement once it has obtained the financial assistance authority as contemplated in section 44 of the Companies Act, which authority will be sought from Shareholders at the general meeting referred to in this announcement and the Circular. The salient terms of the Loan Agreement are set out in the Circular, and a term sheet will be available for inspection. In terms of the B-BBEE Act and the Regulations issued thereunder, the B-BOS qualifies as a major B-BBEE transaction and must be registered with the Broad- Based Economic Empowerment Commission (the "Commission") within 15 days of conclusion of the transaction, who may assess the transaction for compliance with the B-BBEE Act within 90 days thereafter. Confirmation by the Commission of adherence of the B-BOS (all the necessary transaction documents to establish the B-BOS) with the B-BBEE Act shall, in addition to the financial assistance resolution in terms of section 44 of the Companies Act, be a condition precedent to the implementation of the B-BOS. The Circular provides Shareholders with the relevant information relating to the authority sought and gives notice of the general meeting to be held at The Place, 1 Sandton Drive, Sandown, Sandton, 2196, on Wednesday, 19 July 2023 at 09:00 (“General Meeting”) in order for Shareholders to consider, and if deemed fit, to pass with or without modification the Resolutions included in the notice of General Meeting attached to the Circular dated Wednesday, 21 June 2023.
