FINALISATION ANNOUNCEMENT


1.     Offer wholly unconditional

       Shareholders of Transcend Residential Property Fund Limited (“Transcend”) are referred to the
       circular issued by Emira on 6 September 2022 (the “Offer Circular”) regarding Emira’s General Offer
       to acquire up to 100% of the issued shares of Transcend (other than those shares already owned
       by Emira) (the “Transaction” or the “Offer”). Capitalised terms in this announcement bear the same
       meaning as in the Offer Circular.

       Emira is pleased to advise Transcend Shareholders that the Competition Authorities granted their
       unconditional approval for the Transaction and the Offer is now wholly unconditional. Accordingly,
       the TRP has issued a compliance certificate in respect of the Offer in accordance with section
       119(4)(b) of the Companies Act.

       The Offer will now be implemented in accordance with its terms and the final salient dates and

       The Offer Consideration is a Clean Price of R5.38 per Share plus the Distribution Accrual of 5.99

       in order to receive the FY22 Interim Distribution, to the Offer Finalisation Date of 7 October 2022.
       Accordingly, the total Offer Consideration will therefore be R5.43990 per Share.
