UPDATE ON THE DISPOSAL OF A PORTFOLIO OF PROPERTY ASSETS


Shareholders are referred to the announcement released on SENS on 21 October 2021 (the "21 October Announcement"), wherein
the Company advised that it, together with its wholly-owned subsidiary Ascension Properties Limited (collectively the "Rebosis
Group"), had concluded agreements ("Transaction Agreements") with Ulricraft Proprietary Limited (the "Purchaser"), in terms
of which the Purchaser will acquire from the Rebosis Group the portfolio of rental enterprises (and accompanying immovable
properties) ("Rental Enterprises") ("Sale Portfolio") as described in the 21 October Announcement, as a going concern and for
an aggregate cash consideration of R6 319 099 000 (the "Transaction").

Shareholders were further advised that the Transaction was entered into subject to certain conditions precedent, one of which being
that the Purchaser must confirm in writing to the Rebosis Group that it is satisfied with the outcome of the due diligence investigation
being undertaken by it in respect of the Sale Portfolio before 11 March 2022. The Transaction Agreements made provision for an
individual estimated NOI ("Individual Estimated NOI") in respect of each of the Rental Enterprises in the Sale Portfolio. This
value was calculated, initially, as an amount equal to the agreed individual purchase price ("Individual Purchase Price")
attributable to that Rental Enterprise multiplied by 9.5% (being the agreed yield at which the Sale Portfolio is to be sold in terms of
the Transaction). An upward change to the the Individual Estimated NOI of any Rental Enterprise will cause an upward change to
the Individual Purchase Price attributed to each Rental Enterprise, and vice versa.

The written notice of the Purchaser's satisfaction with the outcome of the due diligence investigation has been issued to the Rebosis
Group timeously, and has been countersigned by the Rebosis Group, thus indicating that it recognises the fulfilment of the applicable
condition precedent.

The Transaction Agreements include provisions in terms of which, during the due diligence investigation period, the Parties may
agree to exclude certain Rental Enterprises from the Sale Portfolio or agree on adjusted Individual Purchase Prices for certain Rental
Enterprises ("Reduction Rights"). In accordance with these Reduction Rights, the Parties have agreed that the Transaction shall be
implemented on the basis that the Purchaser shall acquire from the Rebosis Group the Sale Portfolio of Rental Enterprises, which
Sale Portfolio has been reduced through the removal of 11 Rental Enterprises (the "Revised Sale Portfolio") (as outlined more fully
below) as a going concern, for an aggregate cash consideration of R3 354 852 709 (the "Revised Purchase Consideration") at a
blended yield of 9.4%.

During the due diligence investigation the sale of certain Rental Enterprises comprising the Sale Portfolio ("Conditional
Enterprise(s)") was also made conditional upon the fulfilment by a specific date ("Fulfilment Date") of certain conditions in
respect of each such Conditional Enterprise. If any condition stipulated by the Purchaser in respect of a Conditional Enterprise has
not been fulfilled before the relevant Fulfilment Date, the Purchaser is entitled, at its discretion, to waive the requirement to fulfil
that condition and may request that the Conditional Enterprise be included in the Portfolio once again, failing which such Conditional
Enterprise will be excluded from the Transaction. The Revised Sale Portfolio details are outlined below:

The Revised Sale Portfolio and Revised Purchase Consideration have been agreed to in order to procure that the Transaction may
close more expeditiously as this equates to a lower quantum of equity required by the Purchaser. Further, the Purchaser has indicated
its willingness to proceed with the acquisition of the balance of the assets (the excluded Rental Enterprises) subject to a capital raise
and the fulfilment of certain other conditions.

The Transaction Agreements also provide that the Transaction is subject to a further condition precedent requiring the Purchaser to
obtain finance before 22 April 2022 in the amount of the Revised Purchase Consideration agreed between the parties. The Company
will be able to confirm the fulfilment of this condition precedent in due course.
