SALIENT FEATURES
The information set out in this section of the pre-listing statement is only an overview and is not intended to be comprehensive. It should be read in conjunction with the information contained in other sections of this pre-listing statement, to gain a comprehensive overview of the group and the SA private placement.
1. INTRODUCTION
IHGL was incorporated as a business company in the British Virgin Islands on 10 February 2015. The company’s financial year end is 31 August. IHGL’s shares were listed on the LuxSE on Friday, 31 July 2015.
On 31 March 2015, the company acquired all the shares in Sandgate which owns the Worcester Whitehouse Hotel. On 28 August 2015, the company completed the acquisitions of all the shares in Redefine Belvedere and Redefine Dunstable which own the Holiday Inn Express, Dunstable and Travelodge, Belvedere, respectively. Further details of the acquisition agreements are set out in Annexure 10.
2. OVERVIEW AND BACKGROUND
2.1 Introduction
The company is a hotel and leisure focused property investment vehicle that will own hotels for ongoing sustainable income returns and long term capital appreciation. This will be achieved by investing in newly acquired established hotels and in hotel development projects where it will create and own the finished product. The company has been established with the object of affording property investors the opportunity to invest directly into a portfolio of income yielding hotel assets. The company is subject to British Virgin Islands corporate law and under such law the company is not required to include a specific objects clause in its AoA. The object of the company can be determined by its board of directors and the object as aforementioned in this paragraph has been accepted by the directors as the objective of the company.
2.2 Redefine BDL Hotel Group
The company is an initiative of the Redefine BDL Hotel Group to create a specialist hotel ownership vehicle. Redefine BDL Hotel Group was established in 2000 and is the UK’s leading independent hotel management company, with an exceptional track record in developing and managing a diverse portfolio of branded and private label hotels for owners. Redefine BDL Hotel Group is the 5th largest hotel management company in the UK and currently manages in excess of 70 hotels, located predominantly in the UK. The company will take advantage of the Redefine BDL Hotel Group’s unique position in the hotel and leisure industry to secure hotel investments on favourable terms.
2.3 Investment strategy
2.3.1 The company will seek to invest in newly acquired established hotels and in hotel development projects where it will create and own the finished product. It will target hotels which are let on long leases to good covenants as well as hotels under management contracts to the Redefine BDL Hotel Group and other highly regarded management companies. The company aims to acquire assets that can deliver consistent cash returns of circa 7% on equity per annum. The focus will be on the limited service budget and mid-tier hotel sectors, generally with hotels with over 100 rooms. There will be no investment in luxury or 5 star assets.
2.3.2 The company will target assets situated in the UK and European countries, with current pipeline assets being situated mainly in the UK. The company will focus on countries with a stable political and economic outlook, clear property title, rule of law, a relatively diversified economy, strong urbanisation trends and strong GDP growth. The company will endeavour to focus on first tier cities in each country with some exposure to second tier cities.
6
3. PROSPECTS
The directors of the company believe that the company has excellent prospects. The board is confident that the hotel properties that it has already acquired, together with the various potential investments in the pipeline, current market conditions and access to future deal flow, will provide the company with a yield in internationally stable currencies and high growth potential. This should in turn result in meaningful capital appreciation for investors from the company acquiring undervalued income generating assets and high growth development opportunities.
The company will fund its pipeline through a combination of new debt and equity capital. The board anticipates that it will in the short-term be in a position to formally conclude agreements for a number of acquisitions in the UK. These acquisitions will be funded through substantial new capital raisings. In this regard, the company intends to raise up to approximately GBP20 million in the short term.
4. DETAILS OF THE PRIVATE PLACEMENT
A SA private placement to raise up to approximately R247 000 000 (GBP12 350 000) is being undertaken by way of an offer for subscription to invited investors only for up to approximately 12 350 000 private placement shares in the company at an issue price payable in Rand which is equivalent to £1.00 per private placement share determined at the prevailing GBP:ZAR exchange rate at 17:00 on Wednesday, 7 October 2015.
Invited investors may apply to subscribe for private placement shares that will be listed on either the European share register or the South African share register. Invited investors who wish to apply for private placement for shares to be listed on the European share register are advised to contact the LuxSE agent, further details of which are set out in the Corporate Information section, for further instructions.
5. STATEMENT AS TO LISTING ON THE JSE
5.1 JSE approval
The JSE has granted IHGL a listing of up to approximately 15 000 000 shares on the AltX of the JSE under the abbreviated name “Int Hotel” and JSE share code “IHG”, with effect from the commencement of trade on Wednesday, 14 October 2015. The listing is subject to the company maintaining a spread of public shareholders acceptable to the JSE at the point of listing on the AltX, being public shareholders holding not less than 10% of the issued share capital of the company.
5.2 Purpose of listing on the JSE
It is considered that IHGL will present an attractive opportunity to South African investors.

Accordingly, IHGL is seeking a listing on the AltX to broaden its investor base and source additional capital to fund growth aspirations, and to:
5.2.1 enhance potential investors’ awareness of the company;
5.2.2 improve the depth and spread of the shareholder base of the company, thereby improving liquidity in the trading of its securities;
5.2.3 provide invited investors the opportunity to participate directly in the income streams and future capital growth of the company; and
5.2.4 provide invited investors with an additional market for trading the company’s shares.

1.5 Investment objectives, strategy and process
1.5.1 Investment objectives
The company’s objective is to provide shareholders with an opportunity to invest in a hotel and leisure focused property investment vehicle that will own hotels for ongoing sustainable income returns and long term capital appreciation.
15
1.5.2 Investment strategy
The company is a hotel and leisure focused property investment vehicle that will own hotels for ongoing sustainable income returns and long-term capital appreciation. This will be achieved by investing in newly acquired established hotels and in hotel development projects where it will create and own the finished product.
The company will target hotels which are let on long leases to good covenants as well as hotels under management contracts to the Redefine BDL Hotel Group and other highly regarded management companies. The company aims to acquire assets that can deliver consistent cash returns of circa 7% on equity per annum.
The focus will be on the limited service budget and mid-tier hotel sectors, generally with hotels with over 100 rooms. There will be no investment in luxury or 5 star assets.
The company will focus on the following opportunities in the UK and Europe:
1.5.2.1 developments will comprise “greenfield” land developments and “brownfield” developments, through the refurbishment and/or conversion of existing buildings. Developments will serve to generate a pipeline of high quality hotel investment properties that over time will grow the investment component of the company; and
1.5.2.2 income producing hotel properties comprising of completed properties, held directly or indirectly. The company will target income-generating hotel properties with strong sustainable income from high quality tenants or the Redefine BDL Hotel Group or other strong management companies. The income generating hotel assets provide the company with a stable income and balance sheet strength for the company to responsibly secure and fund high-growth opportunities within developments.
The company will acquire properties (or undivided shares in properties) for development and will partner with developers on a case-by-case basis. This allows for those development partners to share in development risk and reward in relation to a particular development. These strategic partnerships with developers (including the promoters of the fund) should ensure a pipeline of high quality, value adding hotel development opportunities that meet the company’s investment criteria. Access to capital resulting from the listing should enhance the company’s ability to pursue these opportunities when they arise.
The company’s investments may be held directly or through subsidiaries incorporated in various jurisdictions for the purpose of maximising tax, funding, regulatory and other efficiencies of the company’s investments. The strategy of the company will be to partner with reputable local and international businesses in its developments to mitigate risks and exposure.
The company’s medium term target is to grow its net asset value to approximately £200 million (within three years from the listing). The company will target growth in net asset value per share in excess of 5% – 10% per annum to investors through a combination of lease based income and capital growth (i.e. pre-tax total return in the hands of investors).
Capital growth would be a function of development profits and an increase in value of the underlying property assets. The company will also adopt an active asset and debt management strategy so as to release cash to stakeholders from the portfolio assets wherever tax efficiently possible, through appropriate refinance and distribution strategies.
The company will fund the acquisition of assets through a combination of debt and equity capital. The equity capital will be raised on both the LuxSE and JSE, subject to investor appetite.
1.5.3 Gearing
The terms of the company’s bank borrowings will be determined on a project by project basis and the company will be advised by the investment manager in this regard. A gearing level of 50% (loan to value) on a consolidated basis will be targeted by the company. Wherever possible, gearing will be specific to a property and raised in a ring-fenced property owning subsidiary.
1.5.4 Investment process
The company’s directors will set the investment policy, parameters and objectives and review and approve each sale or purchase of investment assets.
The investment manager is responsible for identifying and reporting, to the company’s directors, the availability of new investment opportunities that fall within the investment policy and objectives.
Following the identification of a potential new investment opportunity and approval by the board, the investment manager is responsible for negotiating the terms of investment and ongoing management of the investment assets.
16
2. PROSPECTS
The directors of the company believe that the company has excellent prospects. The board is confident that the hotel properties that it has already acquired, together with the various potential investments in the pipeline, current market conditions and access to future deal flow, will provide the company with a yield in internationally stable currencies and high growth potential. This should in turn result in meaningful capital appreciation for investors from the company acquiring undervalued income generating assets and high-growth development opportunities.
The company will fund its pipeline through a combination of new debt and equity capital. The board anticipates that it will in the short-term be in a position to formally conclude agreements for a number of acquisitions in the UK. These acquisitions will be funded through substantial capital raisings. In this regard, the company intends to raise up to approximately GBP20 million in the short term.

12. BACKGROUND TO INVESTMENT REGION AND SECTOR
The discussion that follows draws on information sourced from third party research and the investment manager’s own experience from negotiating transactions in the jurisdictions listed below. Where information is based on third party research, the company believes that such information has been accurately reproduced and that no facts have been omitted that would render the reproduced information inaccurate or misleading when reproduced in this pre-listing statement. The company takes no responsibility for the accuracy of information obtained from third party sources.
12.1 Investment region
The company will initially target hotel assets primarily in the United Kingdom, due to the following factors:
12.1.1 the experience of the investment manager in this jurisdiction;
12.1.2 a stable political and economic outlook;
12.1.3 clear property title;
12.1.4 rule of law;
12.1.5 a relatively diversified economy;
12.1.6 strong urbanisation trends; and
12.1.7 strong GDP growth.
The company will focus on first tier cities, such as London and Edinburgh, which tend to be less cyclical due to trading in global as well as domestic demand markets.
12.2 UK Hotel Sector1
Sentiment in the UK hotel sector remains buoyant, with expectations of growth continuing into 2015. The market has been driven by better than expected UK GDP growth, buoyant inbound tourism, as well as the Rugby World Cup in 2015. According to the latest PwC hotel industry report these factors have pushed rates in favour of owners.

London is expected to see average RevPAR growth of 4.6% in 2015 and 4.7% in 2016, taking RevPAR to £122 and £127 respectively. Regional hotels have also performed ahead of expectations in strong locations including Aberdeen and Edinburgh. While occupancies are at record levels, it is thought that there is still more room for growth and that occupancies can go a bit higher in 2015. The pace of new hotel supply is also picking up and may have the potential to slow the pace of growth in some locations.

UK GDP remains one of the strongest of the large European economies, driving demand for business and leisure travel. In 2014 UK GDP grew by around 2.6%. Similar growth is expected this year with 2.5% growth and 2.3% in 2016. All UK regions are expected to benefit although London and the South East lead. The economic growth in the Eurozone is also picking up, although this is highly dependent on the events in Ukraine and Greece. The Eurozone economy is forecast to grow by 1.1% in 2015 and 1.7% in 2016 which is good news for supporting inbound tourism from key travel markets.
Travel and holidays have remained a priority for many and inbound international travel, domestic ‘staycations’ and the recovered business travel sector have proved robust. The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) as well as the Global Business Travel Association are generally positive and forecast more growth for key European economies, including the UK. Improving economic conditions should continue to drive steady business travel growth and help support midweek demand in hotels. Increased consumer confidence is expected to support leisure breaks. The meetings and conferences market is slowly continuing to recover. The Rugby World Cup in the autumn of 2015 is also expected to boost trading in 2015.
The pace of new UK supply growth is set to pick up in 2015, with growth above the long term average, according to data from AM:PM Hotel Database2. Growth is estimated at around 4.5% in London and 2% in the Provinces. An additional 6 430 rooms (after closures are accounted for) could open in London this year, with an estimated 9 420 rooms open in 2015 in the Provinces.
In conclusion, the directors believe that the current favourable conditions in the hotel market in the UK will enable the company to provide investors with meaningful capital appreciation.

31.4 Other than the investment management agreement, further details of which are set out in paragraph 3.3 above, the group is not subject to any other management agreements.
32. EXCHANGE CONTROL REGULATIONS
IHGL has obtained approval from the SARB for the listing of its shares on the AltX of the JSE, which listing is classified as an “inward listing” in terms of the Exchange Control Regulations.
In line with the Exchange Control approval obtained from the SARB, shares in the company will only be allotted and issued to the applicants on the listing date of the SA private placement shares and will only be issued on market as listed shares. The subscription for shares and the trade in shares subsequent to listing may only be done in terms of the Exchange Control Regulations.
Set out below is a summary of the Exchange Control Regulations relating to the subscription for shares in terms of the SA private placement and the trade in IHGL shares in South Africa only.
This summary of the Exchange Control Regulations is intended as a guide only and is therefore not comprehensive. If you are in any doubt you should consult an appropriate professional advisor immediately.
32.1 South African private individuals
The subscription for shares in terms of the SA private placement or the acquisition of shares on the market by a South African private individual will not affect such person’s foreign investment allowance under Exchange Control Regulations.
A South African private individual need not take any additional administrative actions and can instruct its broker to accept, buy and sell shares on its behalf in IHGL as it would with any other listed security on the JSE. Such shares are on the South African register and are Rand-denominated.
32.2 South African institutional investors
As announced by the Minister of Finance in the 2011 Medium-Term Budget Policy Statement, all inward listed shares on the JSE traded and settled in Rand are now classified as domestic for the purposes of Exchange Control. Accordingly, South African retirement funds, long-term insurers, collective investment scheme management companies and investment managers who have registered with the SARB Exchange Control Department as institutional investors for Exchange Control purposes and Authorised Dealers approved as such by SARB may now invest in such shares without affecting their permissible foreign portfolio investment allowances or foreign exposure limits.
35
South African institutional investors may therefore subscribe for shares in terms of the SA private placement or acquire shares on the market without affecting their foreign portfolio investment allowances or foreign exposure limits.
32.3 Member brokers of the JSE
The Exchange Control Rulings provides for a special dispensation to local brokers to facilitate the trading in inward listed shares. South African brokers are now allowed, as a book-building exercise, to purchase IHGL shares offshore and to transfer the shares to IHGL’s South African share register. This special dispensation is confined to inward listed shares and brokers may warehouse such shares for a maximum period of thirty days only.
32.4 South African corporate entities, banks, trusts and partnerships
South African corporate entities, banks, trusts and partnerships may subscribe for shares in terms of the SA private placement or acquire shares on the market without restriction.
32.5 Non-residents of the common monetary area
Non-residents of the common monetary area may subscribe for shares in terms of the SA private placement or acquire shares on the market, provided that payment is received in foreign currency or Rand from a non-resident account.
Non-residents may sell IHGL shares on the market and repatriate the proceeds without restriction.
Former residents of the common monetary area who have emigrated may use emigrant blocked funds to subscribe for shares in terms of the SA private placement or acquire the shares on the market. The shares will be credited to their blocked share accounts at the Central Securities Depository Participant controlling their blocked portfolios. The sale proceeds derived from the sale of the shares will be transferred to the Authorised Dealer in foreign exchange controlling the emigrants’ blocked assets for credit to the emigrants’ blocked account.
32.6 Movement of IHGL shares between registers
Shares in IHGL are fully fungible and may be transferred between the Luxembourg and South African registers, subject to investors obtaining necessary exchange control approvals where necessary.
South African resident investors may only acquire shares, via the JSE, that are already on the South African branch register maintained by IHGL’s transfer secretaries.
Member brokers of the JSE may acquire shares on foreign exchanges and transfer shares to the South African register as described in paragraph 32.3 above.
Non-residents are not subject to Exchange Control Regulations and may freely transfer shares between branch registers.
33. ADVISOR’S INTERESTS
The names and business addresses of the company’s advisors are set out in the “Corporate information” section. Osiris Secretarial Services Limited is the company secretary whose details are also set out in the “Corporate information” section. Save for Miles Walton who is a director of Osiris Secretarial Services, the company’s advisors and the company secretary do not have any interests in IHGL shares.
34. STATEMENT AS TO LISTING ON THE LUXSE AND THE JSE
The LuxSE has granted IHGL a listing of up to 2 650 000 shares on the Euro MTF under the abbreviated name “Int Hotel” and ISIN: VGG7396G1046, with effect from the commencement of trade on Friday, 31 July 2015.

Annexure 6
EXTRACTS FROM THE MoA AND AoA
The MoA and AoA of IHGL contains, inter alia, provisions with the effect of providing for the appointment, qualification, remuneration and borrowing powers, interests of directors and dividends as set out below:
“4. CAPACITY AND POWERS
Subject to the Act and any other British Virgin Islands legislation, the Company has, irrespective of corporate benefit:
(a) full capacity to carry on or undertake any business or activity, do any act or enter into any transaction; and
(b) for the purposes of paragraph (a), full rights, powers and privileges.
For the purposes of section 9(4) of the Act, there are no limitations on the business that the Company may carry on.”
“5. NUMBER AND CLASSES OF SHARES
5.1 The Company is authorised to issue a maximum of 1 000 000 000 Ordinary Shares of a single class with a par value of £0.001 each of which ranks pari passu in respect of all rights conferred upon Ordinary Shareholders in terms of the provisions of the Memorandum and Articles.
5.2 Subject to the rules of any securities exchange on which the Shares are listed, the Company may issue fractional Shares and a fractional Share shall have the corresponding fractional rights, obligations and liabilities of a whole Share of the same class or series of Shares.
5.3 Subject to the rules of any securities exchange on which the Shares are listed, the Company may issue a class of Shares in one or more series. The division of a class of Shares into one or more series and the designation to be made to each series shall be determined by the directors from time to time.”
“6. RIGHTS OF SHARES
Each Ordinary Share in the Company confers upon the Shareholder:
(a) the right to one vote on any Resolution of Ordinary Shareholders;
(b) the right to an equal share in any dividend paid by the Company; and
(c) the right to an equal share in the distribution of the surplus assets of the Company.”
“2. SHARES
2.1 Shares in the Company which are authorised but unissued shall be offered to the existing Shareholders of that class of Shares pro rata to their respective holdings of the Shares of that class in the Company unless the relevant issue of Shares:
(a) is for the acquisition of assets, is a vendor consideration placing related to an acquisition of assets, or is an issue for the purposes of an amalgamation or merger; or
(b) is an issue pursuant to options or conversion rights; or
(c) is an issue in terms of an approved share incentive scheme; or
(d) is an issue of shares for cash (as contemplated in the LuxSE Rules and Regulations and the JSE Listings Requirements), which has been approved by the Shareholders by Ordinary Resolution, either by way of a general authority (which may be either conditional or unconditional) to issue Shares in its discretion or a specific authority in respect of any particular issue of Shares, in accordance with the LuxSE Rules and Regulations and the JSE Listings Requirements, provided that, if such approval is in the form of a general authority to the Directors, it shall be valid only until the next annual general meeting of the Company or for 15 months from the date of the passing of the Ordinary Resolution, whichever is the earlier, and it may be varied or revoked by any general meeting of the Shareholders prior to such annual general meeting; or
52
(e) otherwise falls within a category in respect of which it is not, in terms of the LuxSE Rules and Regulations and the JSE Listings Requirements, a requirement for the relevant Shares to be so offered to existing Shareholders of that class; or
(f ) is otherwise undertaken in accordance with an authority approved by Shareholders in general meeting,
provided that if any fraction of a Share will have to be issued pursuant to such an offer, that fraction may be rounded off in accordance with the rounding principle (that is, a Shareholder becoming entitled to a fraction of a Share arising from such an offer will be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number in accordance with the rounding principle whereby fractions of 0.5 and above will be rounded up and fractions below 0.5 will be rounded down)..
2.2 The Board shall not have the power to:
(a) create any class of Shares; or
(b) increase or decrease the number of authorised Shares of any class of the Company’s Shares; or
(c) consolidate and reduce the number of the Company’s issued and authorised Shares of any class; or
(d) vary any of preferences, rights, limitations and other terms associated with each class of Shares; or
(e) convert one class of Shares into one or more other classes; or
(f ) subdivide its Shares of any class by increasing the number of its issued and authorised Shares of that class without an increase of its capital; or
(g) determine the preferences, rights, limitations or other terms of any Shares, or
(h) change the name of the Company
and such powers shall only be capable of being exercised by the Shareholders by way of a Special Resolution of the Shareholders and amendment to the Memorandum and Articles.
2.3 Each Share issued by the Company has associated with it an irrevocable right of the Shareholder to vote on any proposal to amend the preferences, rights, limitations and other terms associated with that Share. The variation of any preferences, rights, limitations and other terms associated with any class of Shares as set out in the Memorandum and Articles may be enacted only by an amendment of the Memorandum and Articles approved by Special Resolution of the Shareholders at a combined general meeting. If any amendment of the Memorandum and Articles relates to the variation of any preferences, rights, limitation and other Share terms attaching to any other class of Shares already in issue, that amendment must not be implemented without a Special Resolution, taken by the holders of Shares in that class at a separate meeting. In such instances, the holders of such Shares will be allowed to vote at the meeting of Shareholders, subject to Sub-Regulation 12.2.
2.4 The authorisation and classification of Shares, the creation of any class of Shares, the conversion of one class of Shares into one or more other classes, the consolidation of securities, the sub-division of securities, the change of the name of the Company, the increase of number of Securities, and, subject to Sub-Regulation 2.3, the variation of any preferences, rights, limitations and other terms associated with each class of Shares as set out in the Memorandum and Articles may be changed only by an amendment of the Memorandum and Articles by Special Resolution of the Shareholders at a combined general meeting and in accordance with the LuxSE Rules and Regulations and the JSE Listings Requirements, to the extent required, save if such an amendment is ordered by a court of law.
2.5 No Shares may be authorised in respect of which the preferences, rights, limitations or any other terms of any class of Shares may be varied and no such resolution may be proposed to Shareholders for rights to include such variation in response to any objectively ascertainable external fact or facts.
2.6. The Company may only issue Shares which are fully paid up and freely transferable and only within the classes and to the extent that those Shares have been authorised by or in terms of the Memorandum and Articles.
2.7 Subject to Sub-Regulation 2.10, a Share may be issued for consideration in any form, including money, a promissory note, real property, personal property (including goodwill and know-how) or a contract for future services.
2.8 All Securities of the Company for which a listing is sought on the LuxSE and the JSE and all Securities of the same class as Securities of the Company which are listed on the LuxSE and the JSE must, unless specifically required by the Act, only be issued after the Company has received the consideration approved by the Board for the issuance of such Securities.
53
2.9 Alterations of Share capital, authorised Shares and rights attaching to a class/es of Shares; all issues of Shares for cash and all issues of options and convertible securities granted or issued for cash must, in addition to the aforegoing provisions, be in accordance with the LuxSE Rules and Regulations and the JSE Listings Requirements.
2.10 No Shares may be issued for a consideration other than money, unless a Resolution of Directors has been passed stating:
(a) the amount to be credited for the issue of the Shares;
(b) their determination of the reasonable present cash value of the non-money consideration for the issue; and
(c) that, in their opinion, the present cash value of the non-money consideration for the issue is not less than the amount to be credited for the issue of the Shares.
“11. MEETINGS AND CONSENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS
11.1 For an ordinary resolution (“Ordinary Resolution”) to be approved it must be supported by more than 50% (fifty percent) of the voting rights exercised on the resolution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Memorandum or the Articles, to the extent that the LuxSE Rules and Regulations or the JSE Listings Requirements require a higher percentage in respect of any particular Ordinary Resolution, the Company shall not implement such Ordinary Resolution unless the Company has obtained the support of the applicable percentage prescribed in terms of the LuxSE Rules and Regulations or the JSE Listings Requirements, as applicable.
11.2 For a special resolution (“Special Resolution”) to be approved it must be supported by the holders of at least 75% (seventy five percent) of the voting rights exercised on the resolution.
11.3 All meetings of Shareholders shall be called on not less than 15 (fifteen) business days’ notice.
“12. VOTES OF SHAREHOLDERS
12.1 At a meeting of the Company:
(a) every person present and entitled to exercise voting rights shall be entitled to 1 (one) vote on a show of hands, irrespective of the number of voting rights that person would otherwise be entitled to exercise;
(b) on a poll any person who is present at the meeting, whether as a Shareholder or as proxy for a Shareholder, has the number of votes determined in accordance with the voting rights associated with the Securities held by that Shareholder; and
(c) the holders of Shares other than ordinary Shares shall not be entitled to vote on any resolution at a meeting of Shareholders, except as provided in Sub-Regulation 12.2.
12.2 If any resolution is proposed as contemplated in Sub-Regulation 2.3, the holders of such Shares (“Affected Shareholders”) shall be entitled to vote at the meeting of ordinary Shareholders as contemplated in Sub-Regulation 12.1, provided that:
(a) the votes of the ordinary Shares held by the Affected Shareholders (“Affected Shares”) shall not carry any special rights or privileges and the Affected Shareholder shall be entitled to 1 (one) vote for every Affected Share held in the event of a polled vote, and in the event that voting takes place by a show of hands, the provisions of Sub-Regulation 12.1 shall apply to votes cast by Affected Shareholders; and
(b) the total voting rights of the Affected Shareholders in respect of the Affected Shares shall not be more than 24.99% (twenty four point ninety nine percent) of the total votes (including the votes of the remaining ordinary Shareholders) exercisable at that meeting (with any cumulative fraction of a vote in respect of any Affected Shares held by an Affected Shareholder rounded down to the nearest whole number).
“13. SHAREHOLDERS’ RESOLUTIONS
13.1 No matters, except
(a) any other matter required by the Act or the Memorandum and Articles to be resolved by means of a Special Resolution; or
54
(b) for so long as the Company’s Securities are listed on the LuxSE or the JSE, any other matter required by the LuxSE Rules and Regulations or the JSE Listings Requirements to be resolved by means of a Special Resolution in terms of the LuxSE Rules and Regulations or the JSE Listings Requirements,
require a Special Resolution adopted at a Shareholders’ meeting of the Company.
13.2 In the event that any Shareholder abstains from voting in respect of any resolution of Shareholders, such Shareholder will, for the purposes of determining the number of votes exercised in respect of that resolution of Shareholders, be deemed not to have exercised a vote in respect thereof.”
“14. DIRECTORS
14.1 The Directors shall be elected by Ordinary Resolution, either at a special or annual general meeting or in accordance with a resolution of Shareholders passed in terms of Sub-Regulation 11.11, provided that after the listing of the Shares on the LuxSE or the JSE, no resolution in terms of Sub-Regulation 11.11 shall be competent.
14.2 No person shall be appointed as a Director of the Company unless he has consented in writing to act as a Director.
14.3 The minimum number of Directors shall be four (4) and the maximum number shall be twelve (12).
14.4 Each Director holds office for the term, if any, fixed by the resolution of Shareholders or Resolution of Directors appointing him, or until his earlier death, resignation or removal.
14.5 No Director shall be appointed for life or for an indefinite period and the Directors shall rotate in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) at each annual general meeting of the Shareholders of the Company, 1/3 (one third) of the
14.5.1 executive Directors for the time being, or if their number is not 3 (three) or a multiple of 3 (three), the number nearest to 1/3 (one third), but not less than 1/3 (one third); and
14.5.2 non-executive Directors for the time being, or if their number is not 3 (three) or a multiple of 3 (three), the number nearest to 1/3 (one third), but not less than 1/3 (one third),
shall retire from office;
(b) the Directors to retire in every year are, firstly those who have been appointed to fill a casual vacancy or an additional appointment to the Board, and secondly those who have been longest in office since their last election, but as between persons who were elected as Directors on the same day, those to retire shall, unless they otherwise agree among themselves, be determined by lot. Notwithstanding the aforegoing, if at the date of any annual general meeting, any:
14.5.3 Director will have held office for a period of 3 (three) years since his last election or appointment; or
14.5.4 non-executive Director will have held office for an aggregate period of 9 (nine) years since his first election or appointment,
then such Director shall retire at such annual general meeting, either as one of the Directors to retire in pursuance to the aforegoing or additionally thereto;
(c) a retiring non-executive Director may be re-elected, provided he is eligible for election. If elected or re-elected he shall be deemed not to have vacated his office;
(d) the Company, at the general meeting at which a Director retires in the above manner, or at any other general meeting, may fill the vacancy by electing a person thereto, provided that the Company shall not be entitled to fill the vacancy by means of an Ordinary Resolution of Shareholders passed in accordance with Sub-Regulation 11.11;
(e) if at any meeting at which an election of Directors ought to take place the offices of the retiring Directors are not filled, unless it is expressly resolved not to fill such vacancies, the meeting shall stand adjourned and the further provisions of the Memorandum and Articles will apply mutatis mutandis to such adjournment, and if at such adjourned meeting the vacancies are not filled, the retiring Directors, or such of them as have not had their offices filled, shall be deemed to have been re-elected at such adjourned meeting.
14.6 The Board shall, through its nomination committee (if so constituted in terms of Sub-Regulation 19.1), provide the Shareholders with a recommendation in the notice of the meeting at which the re-election of a retiring Director
55
is proposed, as to which retiring Directors are eligible for re-election, taking into account that Director’s past performance and contribution. Sufficient time shall be allowed between the date of such notice and the date of the general meeting or annual general meeting at which the re-election of the Director is to be proposed to allow nominations to reach the Company’s office from any part of South Africa, the British Virgin Islands or any other country where the Company has offices.
14.7 Apart from satisfying the qualification and eligibility requirements set put in the Act, a person need not satisfy any eligibility requirements or qualifications to become or remain a Director of the Company.
14.8 A Director may resign his office by giving written notice of his resignation to the Company and the resignation has effect from the date the notice is received by the Company at the office of its registered agent or from such later date as may be specified in the notice. A Director shall resign forthwith as a Director if he is, or becomes, disqualified from acting as a Director under the Act.
14.9 The Board has the power to fill any vacancy on the Board on a temporary basis, provided that such appointment must be confirmed by the Shareholders, in accordance with Sub-Regulation 14, at the next annual general meeting of the Company and the powers of the Board in this regard are only limited and restricted as contemplated in this Regulation 14.
14.10 If the number of Directors falls below the minimum number fixed in accordance with these Articles, the remaining Directors must as soon as possible and in any event not later than 3 (three) months from the date that the number falls below such minimum, fill the vacancy/ies in accordance with Sub-Regulation 16.9 or convene a general meeting for the purpose of filling the vacancies, and the failure by the Company to have the minimum number of Directors during the said 3 (three) month period does not limit or negate the authority of the board of Directors or invalidate anything done by the board of Directors while their number is below the minimum number fixed in accordance with these Articles.
14.11 The Directors in office may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body, but if after the expiry of the 3 (three) month period contemplated in Sub-Regulation 14.10, their number remains below the minimum number fixed in accordance with these Articles, they may, for as long as their number is reduced below such minimum, act only for the purpose of filling vacancies in their body or of summoning general meetings of the Company, but not for any other purpose.
14.12 A Director may hold any other office or place of profit under the Company (except that of auditor) or any subsidiary of the Company in conjunction with the office of Director, for such period and on such terms as to remuneration (in addition to the remuneration to which he may be entitled as a Director) and otherwise as a disinterested quorum of the Directors may determine.
14.13 A Director of the Company may be or become a director or other officer of, or otherwise interested in, any company promoted by the Company or in which the Company may be interested as shareholder or otherwise, provided that the appointment and remuneration in respect of such other office must be determined by a disinterested quorum of Directors.
14.14 The Company shall keep a register of Directors containing:
(a) the names and addresses of the persons who are Directors of the Company;
(b) the date on which each person whose name is entered in the register was appointed as a Director of the Company;
(c) the date on which each person named as a Director ceased to be a Director of the Company; and
(d) such other information as may be prescribed by the Act.
14.15 The register of Directors may be kept in any such form as the Directors may approve, but if it is in magnetic, Electronic or other data storage form, the Company must be able to produce legible evidence of its contents. Until a Resolution of Directors determining otherwise is passed, the magnetic, Electronic or other data storage shall be the original register of Directors.
14.16 A Director is not required to hold a Share as a qualification to office.”
56
“15. POWERS OF DIRECTORS
15.1 The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by, or under the direction or supervision of, the Directors of the Company. The Directors of the Company have all the powers necessary for managing, and for directing and supervising, the business and affairs of the Company. The Directors may pay all expenses incurred preliminary to and in connection with the incorporation of the Company and may exercise all such powers of the Company as are not by the Act or by the Memorandum or the Articles required to be exercised by the Shareholders.
15.2 Each Director shall exercise his powers for a proper purpose and shall not act or agree to the Company acting in a manner that contravenes the Memorandum, the Articles or the Act. Each Director, in exercising his powers or performing his duties, shall act honestly and in good faith in what the Director believes to be the best interests of the Company.
15.3 Any Director which is a body corporate may appoint any individual as its duly authorised representative for the purpose of representing it at meetings of the Directors, with respect to the signing of consents or otherwise.
15.4 The Directors may by Resolution of Directors exercise all the powers of the Company to incur indebtedness, liabilities or obligations and to secure indebtedness, liabilities or obligations whether of the Company or of any third party, provided that the total amount owing by the Company in respect of such indebtedness, liabilities or obligations (including the securing thereof ) shall not exceed the amount authorised by its Shareholders.
15.5 All cheques, promissory notes, drafts, bills of exchange and other negotiable instruments and all receipts for moneys paid to the Company shall be signed, drawn, accepted, endorsed or otherwise executed, as the case may be, in such manner as shall from time to time be determined by Resolution of Directors.”
“17. DIRECTORS’ COMPENSATION
17.1 The Company may pay remuneration to the Directors for their services as Directors as determined by the Shareholders by Ordinary Resolution or in the absence of such a determination, by the Board.
17.2 Any Director who:
(a) serves on any executive or other committee; or
(b) devotes special attention to the business of the Company; or
(c) goes or resides outside the British Virgin Islands for the purpose of the Company; or
(d) otherwise performs or binds himself to perform services which, in the opinion of the Directors, are outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director,
may be paid such extra remuneration or allowances in addition to or in substitution of the remuneration to which he may be entitled as a Director, as a disinterested quorum of the Directors may from time to time determine.
17.3 The Directors may also be paid all their travelling and other expenses necessarily incurred by them in connection with:
(a) the business of the Company; and
(b) attending meetings of the Directors or of committees of the Directors of the Company.”
“26. DISTRIBUTIONS BY WAY OF DIVIDEND
26.1 The Directors of the Company may, by Resolution of Directors, authorise a distribution by way of dividend at a time and of an amount they think fit if they are satisfied, on reasonable grounds, that, immediately after the distribution, the value of the Company’s assets will exceed its liabilities and the Company will be able to pay its debts as they fall due.
26.2 No larger distribution shall be declared by the Company in general meeting than is recommended by the Directors, but the Company in general meeting may declare a smaller distribution.

3.3 RCM shall keep RBDL regularly informed of progress on all Services in which RCM is engaged on RBDL’s behalf (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Services sub-contracted to a third party contractor) and shall provide all such information as RBDL shall reasonably request insofar as the same may be lawfully provided by RCM.
59
3.4 RCM shall, when required by the Board, attend board meetings of RBDL to report on:

“5. Fees, Expenses and Payment
5.1 In consideration of RCM performing the Services, RBDL shall pay to RCM an aggregate sum equivalent to:
(a) 0,5 per cent of the aggregate of the Gross Asset Value and of Cash per annum; and
(b) 1 per cent of the Gross Asset Value of any Property and/or Property Securities introduced or arranged by RCM pursuant to this Agreement on the acquisition or disposal of such Property. Where such Property and/or Property Securities are acquired or disposed of as a result of a joint agency between the Property Agent (or its successor) and any third party, such fee to include and incorporate the joint agent’s fee; and
(c) Up to 3% of turnover in respect of the operation of any Hotel Assets. For the avoidance of doubt, if Redefine BDL Hotel Group Limited operates any of the Hotel Assets, this fee shall be included in the 3% referred to in this clause.
5.2 RBDL shall pay to RCM a fee of £10 000 (the “Re-Gear Fee”) for each deed of variation to leases (in respect of the Properties), previously approved by the Board, where such variation results in an extension of the final lease term, a removal and/or extension of a break clause of the relevant lease and/or the addition of indexation to the rent payable under the relevant lease agreement.
5.3 Subject to clause 5.4, the fee due pursuant to clause 5.1(a) shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the date falling ten days after each Quarter Day calculated by reference to the most recent valuations of the Properties carried out by the Directors on or prior to the relevant Quarter Day, provided always that in the event the amount of the Gross Asset Value has not been determined as at the relevant Quarter Day, then RBDL shall pay to RCM a sum calculated by reference to the most recent previous valuation of the Properties held as at the relevant Quarter Day, provided further that within 10 Working Days of determination of the later valuation (being as at a date on or prior to the relevant Quarter Day) RBDL shall pay to RCM or RCM shall pay to RBDL (as the case may be) such sum as shall put them in the same position as they would have been if payment had been made by reference to the Gross Asset Value as ascertained by the later valuation. Property Securities shall be valued at their relevant market value at the last day of the relevant valuation period (or otherwise such value as is reflected in respect of such Property Security on the balance sheet of RBDL at such date, as the case may be).
5.4 If any Property has been acquired or disposed of during a Quarterly Period (a “Completed Property”) before a fee is due to be paid under clause 5.3, the fee shall be calculated to include the Value of the Completed Property for a proportionate amount of the relevant Quarterly Period. Therefore, if, for example, a Property is disposed of on the tenth day of a Quarterly Period (where the relevant Quarterly Period is 91 days), the Gross Asset Value calculation shall include 10/91 of the Value of the Completed Property. If, for example, a Property is acquired on the tenth day of a Quarterly Period, the Gross Asset Value calculation shall include 81/91 of the Value of the Completed Property.
60
5.5 The fees due pursuant to clauses 5.1(b) and 5.2 shall be payable ten Working Days after receipt of an invoice from RCM or, if later, the date of completion of the relevant sale or disposal or the date of the relevant deed of variation (in respect of the Re-Gear Fee). The fees due pursuant to clause 5.1(c) and 5.2 shall be payable, by four quarterly instalments in advance, ten Working Days after the relevant Quarter Day or, if later, receipt of a valid invoice from RCM, calculated by reference to the aggregate Rents during the immediately preceding Quarterly Period.
5.6 All amounts payable under this Agreement are (unless expressly stated otherwise) exclusive of any applicable VAT and any VAT chargeable on such amounts will be paid in addition to the amount in question.”
“7. New Acquisitions and Disposals
7.1 Forthwith after RCM has identified a property or any undertaking holding a direct or indirect interest in a property or any relevant Property Security (collectively, a “Relevant Property Interest”) and wishes to recommend the purchase of such Relevant Property Interest to RBDL RCM shall advise RBDL’s investment committee and provide such relevant details relating to the Relevant Property Interest as RCM is able to provide, with reasons why RCM proposes to recommend that RBDL acquires the Relevant Property Interest including (if applicable):

(b) letting prospects including details of current or proposed tenants;
(c) location plan;
(d) alternative use and vacant possession prospects;

(h) without prejudice to clause 7.3, such other matters as in the opinion of RCM are relevant to the consideration of the proposal.
7.2 As soon as possible but not later than five working days after receipt of the report referred to in clause 7.1, RBDL shall notify RCM whether or not it approves the proposal to proceed with the purchase of the Relevant Property Interest on the basis of the commercial terms proposed whereupon RCM shall institute such of the following as RBDL’s investment committee may direct:
(a) instruct the Valuers to carry out a valuation of the Relevant Property Interest;
(b) instruct surveyors to carry out a survey of the Relevant Property Interest;
(c) institute such soil tests as RCM shall be advised may be appropriate or RBDL may direct;
(d) institute an environmental desk top survey;
(e) negotiate heads of terms;
(f ) instruct solicitors to investigate title and negotiate draft documentation;
(g) negotiate and structure the financing of the purchase; and
(h) obtain such further reports as RBDL or RCM may specify.
7.3 RCM shall use all necessary endeavours to answer all questions and provide such information and documentation relating to the Relevant Property Interest as RBDL may reasonably require.
7.4 RCM shall provide copies of the reports produced by it pursuant to clause 7.1 to the Property Agent and shall liaise with the Property Agent concerning any questions it raises relating to the same.
7.5 Forthwith after the obtaining and the settling of the documents referred to in clause 7.2, RCM shall submit a further report to RBDL and the subsidiary of RBDL (if applicable) that is making the acquisition of the Relevant Property Interest (the “RBDL Purchaser”) and provide such further information to RBDL and the RBDL Purchaser as RBDL or the RBDL Purchaser may reasonably require and RBDL and the RBDL Purchaser shall, within ten
61
Working Days of receipt of such information, advise RCM whether or not it approves such purchase (and such approval and authority shall be given by a majority of the Board and by the board of the RBDL Purchaser.
7.6 In relation to any disposal, RCM shall provide such information to RBDL as RBDL may reasonably require and RBDL shall advise RCM whether or not it approves such disposal (such approval and authority shall be given by a majority of the Board).
7.7 RCM may recommend that any or all of the periods specified in this clause 7 be reduced if in the reasonable opinion of RCM this is necessary in order to ensure that RBDL does not lose the opportunity of acquiring the Relevant Property Interest having regard to the circumstances relevant to the purchase of the Relevant Property Interest or the market conditions then subsisting.”

(b) in the event that this Agreement shall be determined pursuant to clause 13.2(c) or 13.3(b), RCM shall be entitled to payment for the Services provided by RCM prior to the date of termination on a fair and reasonable basis commensurate with the Services performed by RCM up to the date of termination; and
(c) RCM shall provide all reasonable assistance, and shall procure that the Property Agent, any Property Manager, Associate, and/or any third party contractor appointed in accordance with clause 6.3 shall provide all reasonable assistance, including providing all relevant documentation, to RBDL as is necessary to facilitate the continuation of the provision of Services, or any of them, by RBDL itself and/or any service provider(s) nominated by RBDL.

63

INDEPENDENT PROPERTY VALUER’S SUMMARY VALUATION REPORT
“International Hotel Group LimitedCoastal Building, Wickham’s Cay IIRoad Town, TortolaBritish Virgin IslandsVG1110
1 October 2015
For the attention of the Directors
Dear Sirs
INDEPENDENT PROPERTY VALUERS’ REPORT OF THE PROPERTY PORTFOLIO FOR INTERNATIONAL HOTEL GROUP LIMITED AS DETAILED IN THE SUMMARY SCHEDULE ATTACHED AND FOR WHICH THERE ARE DETAILED VALUATION REPORTS HELD BY INTERNATIONAL HOTEL GROUP LIMITED
1. INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 General
In accordance with your instructions of 14 August 2015, we confirm that we have visited and inspected the three properties listed in the attached schedule (“the Properties”). We also confirm that we have received all necessary details required to provide you with our opinion of Market Value for the Properties as at the dates of our detailed valuation reports, and that the valuations are in accordance with and on the terms contained in our confirmation of instructions letter dated 14 August 2015.
2. INTRODUCTION
The valuation of the properties has been carried out by the valuers who has carefully considered all aspects of all the properties. These properties each have a detailed valuation report which has been given to the management of International Hotel Group Limited. The detailed reports include commentary on the current economy, nature of the properties, locality, tenancy, risk profile, forward rent and earning capability and exposure to future expenses and property risk.
All these aspects have been considered in the individual valuation reports of the properties. The detailed reports have further addressed the tenancy income capability and expenditure for each property and tenant. Historic expenditure profile as well as future expenditure increases have been considered. The value therefore indicates the fair market value for each property which is detailed in the attached report and which has been summarised on a schedule as attached hereto, for each property. There are three properties in total comprising the portfolio. All essential aspects of information of all the properties have been summarised in the attached schedule.
3. PURPOSE OF THE REPORT
We are of the understanding that International Hotel Group Limited is currently pursuing a primary listing on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and a secondary listing on the Alternative Exchange of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (“JSE”). In terms of the JSE Listings Requirements 13.20, the company is required to include property valuation reports in the pre-listing statement.
4. BASIS OF VALUATION
This Report has been prepared in accordance with Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors’ (“RICS”) Valuation – Professional Standards January 2014 (the “RICS Red Book”) published in November 2013 and effective from 6 January 2014.
66
In undertaking our valuations, we have adopted the RICS definitions of Market Value, as detailed below:
Valuation Standard VPS 4 1.2 of the Red Book defines Market Value (MV) as:
“The estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction, after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.”
Furthermore the principals of fair value measurement have been applied in the determination of value which is defined as “The price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” (IFRS 13)
For the proposed Travelodge Belvedere we have been instructed to provide an opinion of Gross Development Value. There is no RICS definition of Gross Development Value (GDV). Our interpretation of the GDV is:
“The aggregate of the capital receipts from the sale of all the units on the Special Assumption that the proposed development (as described in our report) has been completed and 100% sold at today’s date at current day values whereby ‘today’s date’/current day’ is the date of valuation”.
5. VALUE CALCULATIONS
5.1 Market values
Holiday Inn Express Dunstable – The Hotel is operated subject to a franchise agreement with IHGL and a management agreement with Redefine BDL. In determining our opinion of value subject to the existing franchise fee and management agreement we have prepared trading projections for the hotel over a 10 year period. We have assumed a hypothetical average efficient operator.
We have considered the historic performance of the hotel to date and the overall trends in the regional market when preparing our projections of income expense, in particular we have taken into account any potential additions to new supply likely to enter the market area in the near future.
We have undertaken a discounted cashflow valuation assuming a sale of the asset in year 10. We have applied a capitalisation rate of 8.25% to our projected EBITDA in year 10 (assumed exit) and a discount rate of 10.75%. We have assumed that an incoming purchaser would seek to terminate the existing management agreement in year 2, when the termination fee is only 1 times the average management fees. We have then modelled our forecast accounts assuming a hypothetical management fee of 3% of total revenue. An allowance for the termination fee has been included within year two of the management base fee.
Worcester Whitehouse Hotel – We are of the opinion that an incoming purchaser would seek to terminate the existing lease to gain full operational control of the asset and implement their own management and marketing strategies. We have therefore considered the costs associated with the termination of the lease when arriving at our opinion of market value.
In order to determine the market value of the subject property we have undertaken our own “shadow” profit and loss accounts based upon information obtained during our meeting with Hotel Management, the historic trading accounts provided, year to date and projections and industry wide statistics for 3 star hotels. We have assumed an experienced and efficient operator for similar style unbranded accommodation.
Our valuation has been prepared on an Income Capitalisation method based on the projected fair maintainable trade of the subject hotel. We have adopted a capitalisation rate of 10%, which has been applied to the projected fair maintainable Net Operating Profit for the Hotel. We have deducted costs of £95,300 associated to the termination of the existing lease as well as the outstanding immediate Capex costs of £87,000.
Proposed Travelodge Belvedere – In order to calculate our market value upon completion of the development we have capitalised the hotel rent to be received at a net initial yield of 5.0% and have reflected the terms of the lease, the covenant strength of the tenant, the rental level and comparable evidence. Purchaser’s costs have been deducted at 5.8%. Our valuation reflects the six-month rent free period.

15. CAVEATS
15.1 General Assumptions
Our valuations have been carried out on the basis of the following General Assumptions. If any of them are subsequently found not to be valid, we may wish to review our valuations, as there may be an impact on them.1. Source of information and verification
Information on the Properties regarding income, recoveries, turnovers and other income detail has been provided to us by the current owners.
2. The Properties have been valued as if wholly-owned with no account being taken of any outstanding monies due in respect of mortgage bonds, loans and other charges. No deductions have been made in our valuation for costs of acquisition. The valuation is detailed in a completed state and no deductions have been made for retention or any other set-off or deduction for any purposes which may be made at the discretion of the purchaser when purchasing the Properties.
Unless otherwise stated in this report, our valuations have been carried out on the basis of the following General Assumptions. If any of them are subsequently found not to be valid, we may wish to review our valuations, as there may be an impact on them.1. That the Properties are not subject to any unusual or especially onerous restrictions, encumbrances or
outgoings contained in the Freehold or Long Leasehold Titles. Should there be any mortgages or charges, we have assumed that the property would be sold free of them. We have not inspected the Title Deeds or Land Registry Certificates.
2. That we have been supplied with all information likely to have an effect on the value of the Properties, and that the information supplied to us and summarised in this report is both complete and correct.
3. That the buildings have been constructed and are used in accordance with all statutory and bye-law requirements, and that there are no breaches of planning control. Likewise, that any future construction or use will be lawful (other than those points referred to above).
4. That the properties are not adversely affected, nor are likely to become adversely affected, by any highway, town planning or other schemes or proposals, and that there are no matters adversely affecting value that might be revealed by a local search, replies to usual enquiries, or by any statutory notice (other than those points referred to above).
5. That the buildings are structurally sound, and that there are no structural, latent or other material defects, including rot and inherently dangerous or unsuitable materials or techniques, whether in parts of the buildings we have inspected or not, that would cause us to make allowance by way of capital repair (other than those points referred to above). Our inspection of the properties and this report do not constitute a building survey.
6. That the properties are connected, or capable of being connected without undue expense, to the public services of gas, electricity, water, telephones and sewerage.
7. That in the construction or alteration of the buildings no use was made of any deleterious or hazardous materials or techniques, such as high alumina cement, calcium chloride additives, woodwool slabs used as permanent shuttering and the like (other than those points referred to above). We have not carried out any investigations into these matters.
8. That the properties have not suffered any land contamination in the past, nor is it likely to become so contaminated in the foreseeable future. We have not carried out any soil tests or made any other investigations in this respect, and we cannot assess the likelihood of any such contamination.
72
9. That the properties do not suffer from any risk of flooding. We have not carried out any investigation into this matter.
10. That the properties either comply with the Disability Discrimination Acts and all other Acts relating to occupation, or if there is any such non-compliance, it is not of a substantive nature.
11. That the properties do not suffer from any ill effects of Radon Gas, high voltage electrical supply apparatus and other environmental detriment.
12. That the tenant(s) is/are capable of meeting its/their obligations, and that there are no arrears of rent or undisclosed breaches of covenant.
General conditions
Our valuations have been carried out on the basis of the following general conditions:1. We have made no allowance for any Capital Gains Tax or other taxation liability that might arise upon a
sale of the properties.2. Our valuations are exclusive of VAT (if applicable).3. Excluded from our valuations is any additional value attributable to goodwill, or to fixtures and fittings
which are only of value in situ to the present occupier.4. Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are required for the sale, letting, construction or alteration of all
residential buildings on non-domestic residential buildings over 538 sq ft (50 sq m) in England and Wales and on all buildings in Scotland. The effect of EPCs on value is as yet unknown, given that the market has yet to respond to their introduction. Therefore, we have not considered the properties’ EPC ratings in forming our opinion of value. However, should this position alter, we reserve the right to reconsider our opinion of value.
5. Each property has been valued individually and no allowance has been made, either positive or negative, should it form part of a larger disposal. The total stated is the aggregate of the individual Open Market Values.
6. No allowance has been made for rights, obligations or liabilities arising under the Defective Premises Act, 1972, and it has been assumed that all fixed plant and machinery and the installation thereof complies with the relevant UK and EU legislation.
7. Our valuations are based on market evidence which has come into our possession from numerous sources. That from other agents and valuers is given in good faith but without liability. It is often provided in verbal form. Some comes from databases such as the Land Registry or computer databases to which Savills subscribes. In all cases, other than where we have had a direct involvement with the transactions, we are unable to warrant that the information on which we have relied is correct although we believe it to be so.

We are of the opinion that the aggregate Market Value (MV) for the Holiday Inn Express Dunstable and Worcester Whitehouse Hotel and the Gross Development Value for the Proposed Travelodge Belvedere as at the dates set out within the schedule of properties below (the “Valuation Dates”) is £18 300 000 (excluding VAT). A summary of the individual valuations and details of each of the Properties is attached.
In addition we confirm that:• there has been no material change to the MV of the Properties since the Valuation Date; and• we are not aware, as a result of our role as an independent valuer of the Properties, of any matter which is not
disclosed in the Document or which has not been disclosed to International Hotel Group Limited in writing and which is required to be brought to their attention.

The estimate and forecast incorporate the following material assumptions in respect of revenue and expenses that can be influenced by the directors:
1. IHGL’s management estimate and forecast for the period from incorporation to 31 August 2015 and the year ending 31 August 2016 are based on information derived from the investment manager, historical information and work performed by valuer.
2. IHGL will not acquire or dispose of any properties during the period of the forecasts.
3. Contracted revenue is based on existing lease agreements and the trading of properties already owned by the group. There is nil uncontracted revenue in respect of the period ended 31 August 2015 and the year ending 31 August 2016.
79
4. The existing lease agreements are valid.
5. There is no vacant space currently and it has been assumed that the two leased properties (the Worcester Whitehouse Hotel and Travelodge, Belvedere) will continue to be fully occupied.
6. IHGL management’s forecast property operating expenditure has been determined based on their review of historical expenditure, where available, and discussion with the investment manager.
7. No fair value adjustments to the property, have been provided for. It has been assumed that the fair value of the investment property held by the group at initial recognition will not differ materially from the fair value over the forecast periods.
8. Investment management fees are based on an asset management fee of 0.5% of the assets owned by the group per annum (pro rata for the period of ownership) and acquisition fees equal to 1% of the value of any of the properties acquired in the period as detailed in the investment management agreement.
9. Material expenditure items comprise:– the investment management fee of £155 250 and £203 170 for the period ended 31 August 2015 and the year ending
31 August 2016 respectively;– external interest on the bank debt of £25 006 and £317 251 for the period ended 31 August 2015 and the year ending
31 August 2016 respectively; – professional fees of £93 813 for the period ended 31 August 2015, predominately relating to an unsuccessful
acquisition bid; and– directors’ fees as detailed in Annexure 3.
10. This profit estimate and forecast have been compiled utilising the accounting policies of IHGL as set out in Annexure 19.
11. Income tax is forecast to be nil and it is assumed that the structure of the group will lead to a minimal tax cost to the group.
12. The room rental occupancy is based on the assumption of 75.8% occupancy for the year ended 31 August 2015 and 77.2% occupancy for the year ending 31 August 2016 (this is in respect of the Worcester Whitehouse Hotel and Holiday Inn Express, Dunstable).
13. The forecast assumes that GBP5 million of raised equity is not invested in the forecast period and attracts interest of 0.5% per annum. The intention in practice is to invest these funds in high yielding acquisitions.
The forecasts incorporate the following material assumptions in respect of revenue and expenses that cannot be influenced by the directors:
1. The effective date of the Sandgate acquisition is 31 March 2015.
2. The effective date of the Holiday Inn Express, Dunstable acquisition is 31 August 2015.
3. Development of the Travelodge Belvedere will be completed by 31 March 2016, with the hotel being fully operational from 1 April 2016.
4. External interest on bank debt in terms of the existing loan in Sandgate is based on interest at 2% above LIBOR.
5. External interest on bank debt in terms of the existing loan in Dunstable is based on interest at 2.25% above LIBOR.
6. There will be no unforeseen economic factors that will affect the lessee’s liabilities to meet its commitments in terms of the existing lease agreements.

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ LIMITED ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE ESTIMATE STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME OF THE GROUP
“The Directors
International Hotel Group LimitedCoastal Building, Wickham’s Cay II PO Box 2221Road Town, Tortola British Virgin Islands
1 October 2015
Dear Sirs
INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE PROPERTY ESTIMATE INCLUDED IN THE PRE-LISTING STATEMENT
We have examined the property estimate statement of comprehensive income and the underlying assumptions of International Hotel Group Limited (“the company”), for the period ended 31 August 2015, as set out in Annexure 12 of the pre-listing statement to be dated on or around 7 October 2015 (the “pre-listing statement”), and the estimate vacancy profile, by sector and by gross lettable area and the estimate lease expiry profile based on existing lease agreements, as set out in paragraph 7 of the pre-listing statement (collectively “estimate information”).
The estimate information has been prepared and presented in accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements. In terms of the JSE Listings Requirements, the estimate statements of comprehensive income must be prepared on an aggregated basis for the property portfolio on the basis of the future accounting policies of the group which must be in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Directors’ responsibility
The directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the estimate information in accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements, including the assumptions set out in Annexure 12, on which it is based, and for the financial information from which it has been prepared. This responsibility includes determining whether: • the assumptions, barring unforeseen circumstances, provide a reasonable basis for the preparation of the estimate information; • the estimate information has been properly compiled on the basis stated; • the estimate information has been properly presented and that all material assumptions are adequately disclosed; and• the estimate information is presented on a basis consistent with the accounting policies of the group.
Reporting accountants’ responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a limited assurance conclusion on the reasonableness of the assumptions used in the estimate information and whether the estimate information has been prepared on the basis of those assumptions and is presented in accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements, based on the procedures we have performed and the evidence we have obtained.
We conducted our assurance engagement in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagement (“ISAE”) 3000: The Examination of Prospective Financial Information (“ISAE 3000”), issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the SAICA circular entitled “The reporting accountants’ reporting responsibilities in terms of section 13 of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited ”. This standard requires that we plan and perform the engagement to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence on which to base our limited assurance conclusion as to whether or not:• management’s best-estimate assumptions on which the estimate information is based are not unreasonable and are consistent
with the purpose of the information;• the estimate information is properly prepared on the basis of the assumptions;
81
• the estimate information is properly presented and all material assumptions are adequately disclosed; and• the estimate information is prepared and presented on a basis consistent with the accounting policies of the group in
question for the period concerned.In a limited assurance engagement, the evidence-gathering procedures vary in nature from, and are less in extent than for a reasonable assurance engagement and, therefore, less assurance is obtained than in a reasonable assurance engagement. We believe that the evidence obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our limited assurance conclusion.
Information and sources of information
In arriving at our conclusion, we have relied upon estimate financial information prepared by management of the group and other information from various public, financial and industry sources.
The principal sources of information used in arriving at our conclusion are as follows: • the audited historical financial information of the Group for the period ended 28 February 2015;• management prepared an estimate for the period ended 31 August 2015;• discussions with the management of the group regarding the estimates presented;• discussions with management of the group regarding the prevailing market and economic conditions;• discussions with the property managers with regard to the estimate expenses;• lease agreements of the leases as set out below;• valuation reports in respect of the property;• property management agreements, acquisition agreements and agreements with promoters, where applicable; and• term sheets and loan agreements from bankers.
Procedures
In arriving at our limited assurance conclusion we performed the following procedures and evaluated the overall presentation of the estimate information:
Rental income• The estimate contracted rental income streams per the profit estimate, were selected for the property and agreed to the
underlying lease agreements. The total coverage obtained was 100% for the period ended 31 August 2015 of the estimate contracted rental income.
• The rental income streams from the above were recalculated to test the accuracy of the information contained in the profit estimate.
• No existing lease agreements that will expire during the period under review were identified. • 0% vacancy levels assumed.• The vacancy levels per the estimate model were compared to the historical vacancy levels to test for reasonableness.
Uncontracted rental income comprises 0% of the total estimate revenue for the period ended 31 August 2015.
Expenses
For the property, estimate expenses were compared to the historical expenses and explanations were obtained for any significant differences. The total expenses tested amounted to 100% of the total estimate expenses for the period ended 31 August 2015.
The detailed estimate expenditure was reviewed and the following expenses were noted that exceed 10% of total expenditure for the period ended 31 August 2015, as required by paragraph 13.14 of the JSE Listings Requirements:• other than the investment management fee of £155 250, the external interest on the bank debt of £25 006, professional
fees of £93 813 and director’s fees as further detailed in Annexure 3 of the pre-listing statement, there are no material expenditure items.
Portfolio expenses
The estimate interest income, interest expense, property management fees and other portfolio expenses were assessed for reasonableness and, where applicable, recalculated.
82
Application of accounting policies
We ascertained that the accounting policies to be applied by the group in the future were applied consistently in arriving at estimate income and that they are in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Model review
We determined that the assumptions tested in the procedures described above were those used in the estimate model.
Vacancy profile and lease expiry profile
We have assumed a 0% vacancy profile as indicated by management.
Inherent limitations
Achievability of the results
The estimate information is based on assumptions about events that may occur in the future and possible actions by the group. It is highly subjective in nature and its preparation requires the exercise of considerable judgement. While evidence may be available to support the assumptions on which the estimate information is based, such evidence is itself generally future oriented and, therefore, speculative in nature. Therefore we are unable to express an opinion as to whether the results shown in the estimate information will be achieved.
Accuracy of the information
The objective of our engagement is to provide a limited assurance conclusion on the reasonableness of the assumptions used in the estimate information, whether the estimate information has been prepared on the basis of those assumptions and is presented in accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements. We have relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of the information provided to us in writing, or obtained through discussions from the management of the group. While our work has involved an analysis of historical financial information and consideration of other information provided to us, our assurance engagement does not constitute an audit or review of historical financial information conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing or International Standards on Review Engagements. Accordingly, we do not express an audit or review opinion thereon and assume no responsibility and make no representations in respect of the accuracy or completeness of any information provided to us, in respect of the property estimate and relevant information included in the pre-listing statement.
Limited Assurance Conclusion
Based on our examination of the evidence obtained, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that:• the assumptions, barring unforeseen circumstances, do not provide a reasonable basis for the preparation of the estimate
information;• the estimate information has not been properly compiled on the basis stated;• the estimate information has not been properly presented in accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements and all material
assumptions are not adequately disclosed; and• the estimate information is not presented on a basis consistent with the accounting policies of the company or group in
question.Actual results are likely to be different from the estimate, since anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected and the variation may be material.
Restriction on distribution
Our report and the conclusion contained herein is provided solely for the benefit of the directors of the group and existing and prospective shareholders of the group for the purpose of their consideration of the listing of the company on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. This letter is not addressed to and may not be relied upon by any other third party for any purpose whatsoever.
83
Consent
We consent to the inclusion of this report, which will form part of the pre-listing statement to the shareholders of the company, to be issued on or about 7 October 2015, in the form and context in which it appears.

This standard requires that we plan and perform the engagement to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence on which to base our limited assurance conclusion as to whether or not:• management’s best-estimate assumptions on which the forecast information is based are not unreasonable and are consistent

85

Expenses
For the property, forecast expenses were compared to the historical expenses and explanations were obtained for any significant differences. The total expenses tested amounted to 100% of the total forecast expenses for the year ending 31 August 2016.
The detailed forecast expenditure was reviewed and the following expenses were noted that exceed 10% of total expenditure for the year ending 31 August 2016, as required by paragraph 13.14 of the JSE Listings Requirements:• other than the investment management fee of £203 170, the external interest on the bank debt of £317 251 and the
director’s fees as further detailed in Annexure 3 of the pre-listing statement, there are no material expenditure items.
Portfolio expenses
The forecast interest income, interest expense, property management fees and other portfolio expenses were assessed for reasonableness and, where applicable, recalculated.
86
Application of accounting policies
We ascertained that the accounting policies to be applied by the group in the future were applied consistently in arriving at forecast income and that they are in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Model review

CONSOLIDATED PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION
Set out below is the consolidated pro forma statement of financial position of IHGL as at 28 February 2015. The consolidated pro forma statement of financial position has been prepared to reflect the financial position of IHGL after adjusting for the pre-listing acquisition and the SA private placement (collectively “the adjustments”) on the assumption that the adjustments took place on 28 February 2015 and on the basis set out in the notes to the pro forma statement of financial position below.
The consolidated pro forma statement of financial position is the responsibility of the directors of IHGL and has been prepared for illustrative purposes to illustrate the effects of the adjustments on IHGL’s financial position at 28 February 2015. Due to the nature of the consolidated pro forma statement of financial position, it may not give a fair reflection of the financial position of IHGL after the adjustments.

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ LIMITED ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE CONSOLIDATED PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION
“The Directors
International Hotel Group LimitedCoastal Building, Wickham’s Cay II PO Box 2221Road Town, Tortola British Virgin Islands
1 October 2015
Dear Sirs
INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE COMPILATION OF PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION INCLUDED IN THE PRE-LISTING STATEMENT
We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of pro forma financial information of International Hotel Group Limited by the directors. The pro forma financial information, as set out in Annexure 14 of the pre-listing statement, to be dated on or about 7 October 2015 (“pre-listing statement”), consists of the statement of financial position and related notes. The pro forma financial information has been compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria specified in the JSE Limited (“JSE”) Listings Requirements.
The pro forma financial information has been compiled by the directors to illustrate the impact of the transaction, being the property acquisitions and the private placement, on the company’s financial position as at 28 February 2015, being the last day of the financial period for the purposes of the statement of financial position. As part of this process, information about the company’s financial position has been extracted by the directors from the company’s financial statements for the period ended 28 February 2015, on which an unmodified auditor’s report was issued.
Directors’ responsibility for the pro forma financial information
The directors are responsible for compiling the pro forma financial information on the basis of the applicable criteria specified in the JSE Listings Requirements and described in Annexure 14 of the pre-listing statement.
Reporting Accountants’ responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion about whether the pro forma financial information has been compiled, in all material respects, by the directors on the basis specified in the JSE Listings Requirements based on our procedures performed. We conducted our engagement in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3420, Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus, which is applicable to an engagement of this nature. This standard requires that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform our procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the pro forma financial information has been compiled, in all material respects, on the basis specified in the JSE Listings Requirements.
For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial information.
As the purpose of pro forma financial information included in a pre-listing statement is solely to illustrate the impact of a significant corporate action or event on unadjusted financial information of the entity as if the transaction had occurred or had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the transaction at 28 February 2015 would have been as presented.
A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the pro forma financial information has been compiled, in all material respects, on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used in the compilation of the pro forma financial information provides a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the corporate action or event, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:
95
• the related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and• the pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial
information.
Our procedures selected depend on our judgment, having regard to our understanding of the nature of the company, the corporate action or event in respect of which the pro forma financial information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.
Our engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the pro forma financial information.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the pro forma financial information has been compiled, in all material respects, on the basis of the applicable criteria specified by the JSE Listings Requirements and described in Annexure 14 of the pre-listing statement.

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ REVIEW CONCLUSION ON THE VALUATION AND EXISTENCE OF THE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES ACQUIRED BY IHGL
“The Directors
International Hotel Group LimitedCoastal Building, Wickham’s Cay II PO Box 2221Road Town, Tortola British Virgin Islands
1 October 2015
Dear Sirs
REVIEW CONCLUSION ON THE VALUATION AND EXISTENCE OF THE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES ACQUIRED BY INTERNATIONAL HOTEL GROUP LIMITED (“IHG”)
Introduction
We have reviewed the assets and liabilities acquired by IHG as reflected in the acquisition adjustment columns of the pro forma statement of financial position included in Annexure 14 of the pre-listing statement to be issued on or about 7 October 2015 (“the pre-listing statement”) relating to the assets and liabilities to be acquired by IHG prior to the listing on the JSE Limited. The directors are responsible for the compilation, contents and preparation of the adjustment columns of the pro forma statement of financial position in accordance with International Accounting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa. Our responsibility is to express a review conclusion on the valuation and existence of the assets and liabilities acquired as reflected in the adjustment columns in accordance with the accounting policies adopted by IHG and the recognition and measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standards on Review Engagements 2410: Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the independent auditor of the entity. This standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance on the valuation and existence of the assets and liabilities acquired by IHG as reflected in the adjustment columns of the pro forma statement of financial position. Our review conclusion is included in this pre-listing statement in accordance with paragraph 13.16(e) of the JSE Listings Requirements.
A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the assets and liabilities acquired by IHG as reflected in the adjustment columns of the pro forma statement of financial position included in Annexure 14 of the pre- listing statement are not fairly valued, do not exist or are not fairly presented, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting policies adopted by IHG and recognition and measurement criteria of IFRS.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION
International Hotel Group Limited (“IHGL”) was incorporated on 10 February 2015 under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The preparation of the financial statements was supervised by the Finance Director, David Hart.
The primary objective of the company is to opportunistically acquire good quality undervalued hotel assets (predominantly in the UK and Europe), in order to offer investors a high yielding property investment.
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ marginally from these estimates. In preparing these financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation are discussed further in Note 2.2 basis of preparation.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.1 Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and incorporate the principal accounting standards as set out below.
2.2 Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis and are presented in GBP (£), which is the functional and presentational currency of the company.
Critical judgements and estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the group’s accounting policies.
The principal areas where such judgements and estimates have been made are:
Going concern
The group’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF IHGL
“The Directors
International Hotel Group LimitedCoastal Building, Wickham’s Cay II PO Box 2221Road Town, Tortola British Virgin Islands
1 October 2015
Dear Sirs
INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION INCLUDED IN THE PRE-LISTING STATEMENT
Introduction
We have audited the historical financial information of International Hotel Group Limited (“the company”) in respect of the period from incorporation to 28 February 2015, set out in Annexure 17. The historical financial information in respect of the period comprises the statement of financial position as at the period-end date, and the notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Directors’ responsibility for the historical financial information
The company’s directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the historical financial information in accordance with the requirements of the JSE Listings Requirements, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of historical financial information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
The JSE Listings Requirements require the historical financial information in respect of each period to be prepared in accordance with the conceptual framework, the measurement and recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Pronouncements as issued by Financial Reporting Standards Council and also, as a minimum, to be presented and contain the disclosures required by the JSE Listings Requirements.
Reporting Accountants’ responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the historical financial information based on our audit.
We conducted our audit of the historical financial information in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). This standard requires that we comply with ethical requirements.
We plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the historical financial information is free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the historical financial information, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the group’s preparation of the historical financial information in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the group’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the historical financial information.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained in our audit is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
102
Opinion
In our opinion, the historical financial information in respect of the period from incorporation to 28 February 2015 is prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the JSE Listings Requirements and the International Financial Reporting Standards, as set out in notes to the historical financial information.
Other information in the pre-listing statement
As required by paragraph 8.53 of the JSE Listings Requirements, we have read the pre-listing statement in which the historical financial information is contained, for the purpose of identifying whether there are material inconsistencies between the pre-listing statement and the historical financial information which has been subject to audit. The pre-listing statement is the responsibility of the directors. Based on reading the pre-listing statement we have not identified material inconsistencies between this report and the historical financial information which has been subject to audit. However, we have not audited the pre-listing statement and accordingly do not express an opinion on it.
Consent
We consent to the inclusion of this report, which will form part of the pre-listing statement to the shareholders of the company, to be issued on or about 7 October 2015, in the form and context in which it appears.

Annexure 19
ACCOUNTING POLICIES OF THE GROUP
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.1 Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the IASB, the AC 500 series issued by the Accounting Practices and incorporate the principal accounting policies set out below.
The accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements except for the adoption of new accounting standards as set out below.
1.2 Basis of preparation
The financial statements are presented in GBP (£), which is the functional and presentational currency of the company and are rounded to the nearest thousand. They are prepared using the historical cost basis except for investment property and financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss.
Critical judgements and estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the company’s accounting policies. The estimates and assumptions relating to the fair value of investment properties have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
The principal areas where such judgements and estimates have been made are:
Going concern
The group’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
Property acquisitions
Where properties are acquired through the acquisition of corporate interests, the Directors have regard to the substance of the assets and activities of the acquired entity in determining whether the acquisition represents the acquisition of a business.
Where such acquisitions are not judged to be an acquisition of a business the transactions are accounted for as if the company had acquired the underlying property directly. Accordingly, no goodwill arises, rather the cost of the corporate entity is allocated between the identifiable assets and liabilities of the entity based on their relative fair values at the acquisition date.
1.3 Rental income
Rental income from investment property leased out under operating leases is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income and amortised over the term of the leases.
Contingent rental income is recognised as it arises. Premiums to terminate leases are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as they arise.
Management has considered the potential transfer of risks and rewards of ownership for all properties leased to tenants and has determined that all such leases are to be classified as operating leases.
1.4 Dividends
Dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. In the case of interim dividends to equity shareholders, this is when declared by the directors. In the case of final dividends, this is when approved by the shareholders at the annual general meeting.
104
1.5 Income tax
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised where the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the statement of financial position differs from its tax base.
Recognition of deferred tax assets is restricted to those instances where it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the difference can be utilised. In respect of deferred tax assets arising from investment property measured at fair value, the presumption that recovery will be through sale rather than use has not been rebutted.
The amount of the asset or liability is determined using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the deferred tax liabilities/(assets) are settled/(recovered).
1.6 Earnings per share
Earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
In calculating headline earnings per share headline earnings include fair value adjustments for financial liabilities and accounting adjustments required to account for lease income on a straight-line basis, as well as other non-cash accounting adjustments that do not affect distributable earnings.
1.7 Financial assets
These assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise principally through the provision of goods and services to customers (e.g. trade receivables), but also incorporate other types of contractual monetary asset.
The company’s receivables comprise trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position. Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Impairment provisions are recognised when there is objective evidence (such as significant financial difficulties on the part of the counterparty or default or significant delay in payment) that the company will be unable to collect all of the amounts due under the terms receivable, the amount of such a provision being the difference between the net carrying amount and the present value of the future expected cash flows associated with the impaired receivable. For trade receivables, which are reported net, such provisions are recorded in a separate allowance account with the loss being recognised within administrative expenses in the statement of comprehensive income. On confirmation that the trade receivable will not be collectable, the gross carrying value of the asset is written off against the associated provision.
1.8 Investment property
Investment properties are those which are held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both. Investment properties are stated at fair value. External, independent valuation companies, having professionally qualified valuers and recent experience in the location and category of property being valued, value the portfolios on an annual basis. The fair values are based on market values, being the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably and without compulsion.
The valuations are prepared by considering comparable market transactions for sales and letting and having regard for the current leases in place. In the case of lettings this includes considering the aggregate of the net annual market rents receivable from the properties and where relevant, associated costs. A yield which reflects the risks inherent in the net cash flows is applied to the net annual rentals to arrive at the property valuation.
Any gain or loss arising from a change in fair value is recognised in Statement of comprehensive income.
Borrowing costs are capitalised if they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. Capitalisation of borrowing costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset are in progress and expenditures and borrowing costs are being incurred. Capitalisation of borrowing costs may continue until the assets are substantially ready for their intended use. If the resulting carrying amount of the
105
assets exceeds its value, an impairment loss is recognised. The capitalisation rate is arrived at by reference to the actual rate payable on borrowings for development purposes or, with regard to that part of the development cost financed out of general funds, to the average rate.
1.9 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances on hand, cash deposited with financial institutions. Cash and cash equivalents have a maturity of less than three months.
1.10 Share capital
Ordinary share capital
Financial instruments issued by the company are classified as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial liability or financial asset. The company’s ordinary shares are classified as equity instruments. External costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown as a deduction in equity, net of tax, from the proceeds.
1.11 Loans and borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised in the statement of comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings on an effective interest basis.
Finance costs
Finance costs recognised in the statement of comprehensive income comprise interest payable on borrowings calculated using the effective interest rate method, net of interest capitalised.
