LIGHTHOUSE EQUITY RAISE


THIS ANNOUNCEMENT AND THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN IS RESTRICTED AND NOT FOR
RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED
STATES, CANADA, JAPAN OR ANY JURISDICTION IN WHICH IT WOULD BE UNLAWFUL TO DO SO

Lighthouse invests in dominant and defensive malls located in large Western European cities with a strong economic
underpin and economic growth. A key component of the Company’s strategy is to evolve and adapt malls to cater for
the ever-changing demands of retailers and consumers.

During 2024, Lighthouse has acquired three Iberian malls, including, most recently, Alegro Montijo, acquired with effect
from 11 September 2024. Lighthouse continuously identifies and evaluates opportunities within its strategy and pro-
actively manages its liquidity to be positioned for value accretive opportunities as they arise.

Lighthouse announces an equity raise, targeting approximately ZAR 500 million, to be implemented through an
accelerated bookbuild process (the “Bookbuild”), subject to pricing acceptable to Lighthouse.

The Bookbuild is now open and Lighthouse reserves the right to close it at any time and to increase the size of the equity
raise subject to demand. Pricing, allocations and the amount raised will be announced as soon as practicable following
the closing of the Bookbuild.

The new shares, when issued, will be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with existing shares.

Java Capital is acting as sole bookrunner in respect of the Bookbuild.

Java Capital’s contact details are as follows:
