            1.1.8 portion 1 of ERF 84, Edenburg Township, measuring 4 955 square metres held by title deed
                     27055/2017 situated at 18 Wessels Road, Rivonia, 2128,
                     (collectively, the “Telelet Properties”) and the rental enterprises conducted by Telelet from
                     such Telelet Properties (the “Telelet Rental Enterprise”), for an acquisition consideration of
                     R50,000,000 (the “Telelet Acquisition Consideration”).
       1.2  Shareholders are further advised that Telemedia has entered into a sale of rental enterprise agreement
            (the “Trust Agreement”) with The Bretherick Family Trust (the “Trust”), in terms of which Telemedia
            has acquired the immovable property known as ERF 57 Richmond Township, measuring 495 square
            metres held by title deed 40002/2010 situated at 27 Landau Terrace, Melville (the “Trust Property”
            and with the Telelet Properties, the “Properties”) and the rental enterprise conducted by the Trust from
            such Trust Property (“Trust Rental Enterprise”), for an acquisition consideration of R1,500,000 (the
            “Trust Acquisition Consideration”),
            collectively, the “Transactions”.
       1.3  The effective date of each of the transactions will be the date of registration of transfer of ownership of
            the Telelet Properties and the Trust Property into the name of Telemedia (each an “Effective Date”).
       1.4  The acquisition of the Telelet Rental Enterprise and the Trust Rental Enterprise includes a number of
            leases.

2.     RATIONALE FOR THE TRANSACTION
       The Transactions present a strategic opportunity for Telemedia to acquire properties which currently are
       partially occupied by Telemedia for operational purposes, as well as to secure an additional rental revenue
       stream from the remaining portions, thus further diversifying the Rex Trueform’s existing portfolio of
       properties.

3.     SALIENT TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT
       3.1  Possession, occupation and control of the Telelet Properties shall be given by Telelet to Telemedia on
            the Effective Date of each of the Telelet Properties, and possession, occupation and control of the Trust
            Property shall be given by the Trust to Telemedia on the Effective Date of the Trust Property.
       3.2     It is envisaged that the transactions related to the Telelet Properties will be zero-rated in terms of the
               Value-Added Tax Act.
       3.3     All leases and contracts in respect of the Telelet Properties and the Trust Property will be assigned to
               the Company with effect from the Effective Date.
       3.4     Each of Telelet and the Trust has warranted that it has no employees in relation to their respective rental
               enterprises.
       3.5     Telelet has undertaken that it will, during the period between the date of last signature of the Telelet
               Agreements (“Telelet Signature Dates”) and the Effective Date carry on the Telelet Rental Enterprise
               in the same manner as it did before the Telelet Signature Dates, in its ordinary course of business, so as
               to maintain the Telelet Rental Enterprise as a going concern.
       3.6     The Trust has undertaken that it will, during the period between the date of last signature of the Trust
               Agreement (“Trust Signature Date”) and the Effective Date, carry on the Trust Rental Enterprise in
               the same manner as it did before the Trust Signature Date, in its ordinary course of business, so as to
               maintain the Trust Rental Enterprise as a going concern.

4.     PAYMENT AND FUNDING OF THE TELELET ACQUISITION CONSIDERATION AND THE
       TRUST ACQUISITION CONSIDERATION
       Both the Telelet Acquisition Consideration and the Trust Acquisition Consideration are payable on the Effective
       Date and will be funded as follows:
       4.1     R 7,000,250 shall be funded by cash resources available to Telemedia; and
       4.2     R 44,499,750 shall be funded by way of a loan from a bank against security of the registration of a first
               mortgage bond over the Properties.

5.     CONDITIONS PRECEDENT
       The implementation of the Transactions is subject to the approval of shareholders in general meeting. All other
       conditions precedent contained in the Telelet Agreements and the Trust Agreement have been fulfilled.

6.     FINANCIAL INFORMATION
       6.1  The market value of the net assets that are the subject of the transaction is R51,500,000 and such assets
            are being acquired at a yield of 9.5%.
       6.2  The forecast yield is based on information derived from budgets and lease agreements in respect of the
            Transactions and assumes that there are no unforeseen economic factors that will affect the ability of
            customers to meet their commitments in terms of existing lease agreements.
       6.3  The forecast, including the assumptions on which it is based and the financial information from which
            it has been prepared, is the responsibility of the directors of the Company and has not been reviewed or
            reported on by independent reporting accountants.

7.     CATEGORISATION OF THE TRANSACTION

       In terms of the JSE Listings Requirements, the Transactions constitute a category 2 transaction with a related
       party, as Telelet is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Trust, and the Trust was a material shareholder in Rex
       Trueform during the 12 months immediately preceding the conclusion of the Telelet Agreement and the Trust
       Agreement. Shareholder approval of the Transactions is therefore required, and a circular in this regard is in
       the process of being prepared and will be distributed in due course.
