CIRCULAR TO INVESTEC PROPERTY FUND SHAREHOLDERS
1. INTRODUCTION AND RATIONALE
1.1 Introduction
Shareholders are referred to the announcement released by Investec Property Fund on SENS on 11 August 2015 regarding the agreement entered into with the Sellers for the acquisition of the Zenprop Portfolio for an aggregate acquisition value of R7.06 billion at a blended yield of 7.5%.
The Acquisition will be implemented by means of:
• the purchase of 100% of the shares of, and loan claims in, Friedshelf for the properites referred to as Nicol Grove and Design Quarter;
• the purchase of 100% of the shares of, and loan claims in, Double Flash for the property referred to as Nicol Grove – Seacom; and
• the purchase of letting enterprises for the remainder of the Zenprop Portfolio.
The effective date of the acquisition of the shares of, and loan claims in, Friedshelf and Double Flash will be the first day of the month following the fulfil ment of the condition precedent set out in paragraph 3.4. It is envisaged that there will be no transfer of properties held by Friedshelf and Double Flash to the name of IPF as the said companies will become the wholly owned subsidiaries of IPF, while the effective date for the acquisition of the remainder of the Zenprop Portfolio will be the date of transfer of the properties.
1.2 Rationale
The Acquisition presents an opportunity for the Fund to acquire an iconic property portfolio that is unique in terms of location, quality and scale, underpinned by high quality tenants with strong lease covenants.
The Acquisition is consistent with the Fund’s growth and investment strategy of building a quality portfolio that optimises capital and income returns over the medium to long-term for Shareholders.
The majority of office and industrial properties are single-tenanted with triple net leases, and have long expiry profiles, which will complement and augment the Fund’s existing expiry profile. All of the above will add to the quality, defensiveness and income predictability of the Fund.
10
The portfolio has contractual above-inflation escalations of 7.6%, a 4.9-year WALE, and minimal vacancies (0.5% after taking into account the rental guarantees referred to in paragraph 3.3.3 below).
The Acquisition adds significant scale and diversity to the Fund’s existing portfolio, resulting in an increase in asset base from approximately R9.5 billion (post the Griffin acquisition referred to in paragraph 10.1 below) to R16.4 billion, and introduces a high quality portfolio of income producing properties into the Fund’s asset base that further enhances the real estate fundamentals of the Fund’s existing portfolio. Although dilutive to the Funds growth in the short term, the inclusion of the Zenprop Portfolio enhances the quality of the Fund’s existing portfolio and is expected to result in enhanced returns over the medium to long term.
1.3 Funding of the Acquisition
The purchase consideration amounts to R7.06 billion which will be settled as follows:
• R0.80 billion will be settled through the issue of 48,455,482 IPF Consideration Shares to the Sellers or nominated beneficiaries of the Sellers at a Clean Price of R16.51 per Share (ex dividend), being the clean 30-day VWAP of Investec Property Fund Shares up to and including 6 August 2015 ;
• R0.20 billion will be settled through the transfer to the Sellers or nominated beneficiaries of the Sellers of 17,271,157 Investec Australia Property Fund shares owned by the Fund at a Clean Price of R11.58 (ex dividend) per IAPF share calculated with reference to the 30-day VWAP of IAPF shares as at 6 August 2015; and
• the remaining R6.06 billion, together with estimated transaction costs of R70 .6 million will be settled in cash, and will be funded through a combination of debt and equity:
• Debt:
The Fund will raise gearing on the Zenprop Portfolio of approximately 50% of the Purchase Consideration which equates to gearing of R3.57 billion. Following the Acquisition, the Fund will have a LTV of approximately 35%. The new debt funding will be obtained from either the banks and/or the debt capital markets, both of which have shown strong support for the Fund since listing.
• Equity
The Fund intends to undertake the fully committed Rights Offer of approximately R2.57 billion to part fund the Acquisition at an ex dividend Rights Offer price of R15.00, which represents a 9.1% discount to the 30-day VWAP up to and including 6 August 2015.
As detailed in paragraph 7 below, Shareholders representing approximately 6 5.6% and 69.6% of the Fund’s Shareholders have committed or indicated support to vote in favour of the Acquisition and the Rights Offer and to follow their rights in the Rights Offer respectively in terms of irrevocable undertakings or letters of support. As a result, approximately R1. 79 billion of the Rights Offer is covered by commitments or indications of support, and accordingly, the remaining equity to be raised in the Rights Offer is approximately R0. 78 billion.
• If the Rights Offer is not fully subscribed, any shortfall will be taken up by Zenprop through an increase in the Share Consideration to the extent of the shortfall which will be settled by the issue of Investec Property Fund Shares at the ex dividend Rights Offer price of R15.00 per share.
The implementation of the Rights Offer is subject to the condition precedent that all the necessary resolutions to implement the Acquisition and the authority to issue Shares in terms of the Rights Offer are passed at the General Meeting. An announcement of the detailed terms of the Rights Offer and a Rights Offer document will be posted to Shareholders in due course after the General Meeting.
2. PURPOSE OF THIS CIRCULAR
The purpose of this Circular is to provide Shareholders with the requisite information relating to the Acquisition, and to convene a General Meeting of Shareholders to consider and approve the aforementioned acquisition and the authority to issue Shares, in terms of the notice of General Meeting attached to this Circular.
In relation to the Acquisition, the Fund requires the approval by ordinary resolution of Shareholders in General Meeting as the Acquisition is classified as a Category 1 acquisition in terms of the Listings Requirements.
Furthermore, the Fund requires the approval by special resolution of Shareholders in General Meeting in respect of the issue of more than 30% of the issued Shares of the Fund as required to settle the Share Consideration and implement the Rights Offer. The potential issue of additional Shares to the Sellers if the Rights Offer is not fully subscribed also requires approval by 75% of Shareholders in terms of the Listings Requirements.

3. THE ACQUISITION
Investec Property Fund has concluded the Acquisition Agreement to purchase the Zenprop Portfolio, valued at R7.06 billion. The Acquisition Agreement is subject to certain conditions precedent, as more fully set out in paragraph 3.4 below.

After the implementation of the Acquisition, the Fund will have a property portfolio consisting of 128 properties with a gross lettable area of 1,342,676m2 and will be valued at approximately R16.1 billion (excluding the Fund’s remaining investment in IAPF shares) or R16.4 billion (including the Fund’s remaining investment in IAPF shares).

Investec Property Fund is a South African Real Estate Investment Trust, which was listed on the JSE in the Real Estate Holdings and Development Sector on 14 April 2011 and currently, post the Griffin acquisition, comprises a portfolio of 102 properties in South Africa with a total GLA of 945,402m2 valued at R9.0 billion and a R0.5 billion investment in Investec Australia Property Fund Limited.
The Fund was formed with the purpose of investing in direct real estate, where the Directors believe there is potential for income generation and capital growth.
The Fund’s assets currently consist of investments in 102 properties (after the Griffin acquisition detailed in paragraph 10.1), and are appropriately diversified to maintain an acceptable level of risk weighting within each sector and thus mitigate against any sector-specific risks. A strong, reputable tenant base, high single-tenant profile, coupled with low vacancies and long-term expiry profiles provide a sound base for earnings and capital growth over the long term. The attractiveness of the Fund is reflected both in the nature and quality of this portfolio and the experience and track record of the Manager.

8.2 Prospects
Since listing in April 2011, Investec Property Fund has delivered consistent growth in distributions and net asset value to its Shareholders while growing its property portfolio over f ive times with properties that maintain or enhance the quality of the portfolio. This has been achieved despite an uncertain economic outlook, highly competitive landscape and upward pressure on administration and operating costs. The Fund’s core portfolio with its high proportion of long-term single tenanted properties and high proportion of listed and large corporate tenants continues to demonstrate its defensiveness.
The objective of the Fund is to optimise capital and income returns over time for Shareholders. This will be achieved through management’s continued focus on its core philosophy of hands-on active management of physical property, in conjunction with efficient management of its balance sheet to enhance both the yield and the quality of the portfolio, and growing its asset base by investing in well-priced income-producing properties in the office, industrial and retail sectors. The Fund has executed its investment strategy with this objective in mind, which has proved successful to date.
The Zenprop Portfolio will be acquired at a blended yield of 7.5%, which the Directors believe offers attractive value and will enhance the prospects of the Fund going forward.

Accordingly, the Fund may participate in transactions in respect of which Investec may have an interest, whether direct or indirect, or via a relationship of whatever nature with another party.
In particular, Investec entities have entered into a number of agreements or arrangements in relation to the Fund, most notably:
• The Asset Management and Property Management Agreement the terms of which (including fees payable) have been summarised in paragraph 8.4.2 of this Circular;
• Various directors of the Manager are also Directors of the Fund;
• Investec is a lender to the Fund; and
• Invest ec has been appointed as Investment Bank and Sponsor in terms of the Acquisition.
Conflicts of interest that may arise will be managed appropriately in accordance with Investec’s conflicts policy and procedures. The Directors and employees of the Manager are governed and bound by this policy.
49
In the event that the Fund is presented with an investment proposal involving a property owned (in whole or in part), directly or indirectly, by Investec or any other related disposition of assets, such interest will be fully disclosed to the Fund and will be referred to the Investment Committee and the Board. The Investment Committee and the Board must approve any such proposals referred to it before the investment or divestment is made. In the event that any Directors and/or employees of the Manager are conflicted between their employment roles and their positions on the Board or Investment Committee, such persons will recuse themselves from such decisions. In the event that the Investment Committee or any party believes that a prospective investment or relationship raises concerns as regards conflicts of interests, it will inform the Board, which will decide on an appropriate resolution of the matter.

The profi t forecast of the Zenprop Portfolio for the fi ve months ending 31 March 2016 and the further twelve months ended 31 March 2017 is set out in the table below and should be read in conjunction with the Reporting Accountants’ limited assurance report thereon, which is included in Annexure 2 to this Circular.
The Directors are responsible for the profi t forecast including the assumptions on which it is based, and for the fi nancial information from which it has been prepared.
The forecast information has been prepared on a basis consistent with the accounting policies of the Fund and in compliance with IFRS.

The profit forecast for the five months ending 31 March 2016 and 12 months ending 31 March 2017 is based on the following assumptions:
1. Circumstances which affect the Fund’s business, but which are outside of the control of the Directors, will not change in a way that will materially affect the trading situation of the Fund;
2. No properties will be acquired or disposed of during the forecast period;
3. No unforeseen economic factors that will affect the lessees’ ability to meet their commitments in terms of the existing lease agreements have been included;
4. All existing lease agreements are valid. The proportion of rental revenue (excluding recoveries) that is non-contractual for the five months ending March 2016 and for the year ending March 2017 is 1.1% and 1.6% respectively. Non-contractual income comprises tenants on monthly leases, renewals under negotiation and exhibition income in the retail centres. It has been assumed that expiring leases will be renewed at market related rates;
5. No fair value adjustments to investment properties have been provided for;
6. Operating expenditure has been based on discussions with, and records of, the property managers and historical costs, taking into account the effects of inflation thereon. No material expenditure is forecast to change by more than 15% when compared to historical amounts. Material expenditure items are utilities and rates and taxes :
5 months to March 2016 12 months to March 2017
Utilities 33,663,192 83,827,424Rates and taxes 23,899,183 61,702,393
7. No material refurbishment capital expenditure or any other material capital expenditure is forecast in the five months ending 31 March 2016 and the twelve months ending 31 March 2017.
8. The asset management fee has been calculated at 0.0% in accordance with the ratcheted management fee set out in paragraph 3.3.7.
9. Income foregone on 17,271,157 IAPF shares, to be transferred to the Sellers as part of the purchase consideration.
10. Finance costs are calculated on an assumed all-in cost of debt of 8.8% per annum and assuming that 50% of the Purchase Consideration and transaction costs (of R70. 6 million) are funded by debt.
11. No deferred tax is calculated as a result of the Fund’s REIT status, which extends to its subsidiaries as defined by IFRS.
12. The assumed effective date is 1 November 2015, and hence the impact in the year ended 31 March 2016 is only five months.
The above assumptions are material to the forecast and the actual profit of the Fund will depend on them. Unforeseen events or circumstances may also occur subsequent to the date of this Circular and the actual results achieved during the five months ending 31 March 2016 and the twelve months ending 31 March 2017 may therefore differ materially from the forecast.

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ LIMITED ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE CONSOLIDATED FORECAST INFORMATION OF THE ZENPROP PORTFOLIO BEING ACQUIRED BY INVESTEC PROPERTY FUND
The DirectorsInvestec Property Fund Limited100 Grayston DriveSandton2196South Africa
INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ LIMITED ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE FORECAST INFORMATION OF INVESTEC PROPERTY FUND LIMITED (“THE COMPANY”)
We have examined the accompanying forecasts statement of comprehensive income for the fi ve months ending 31 March 2016 and the further twelve months ended 31 March 2017. We have also examined the forecast vacancy profi le by sector by gross lettable area (“forecast vacancy profi le”) set out in the circular.
Directors’ responsibility
The Directors of the Fund are responsible for the forecast, including the assumptions set out in Annexure 1, on which it is based, and for the fi nancial information from which it has been prepared. This responsibility, arising from compliance with the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, includes:
• Determining whether the assumptions, barring unforeseen circumstances, provide a reasonable basis for the preparation of the forecasts;
• Whether the forecasts have been properly compiled on the basis stated; and
• Whether the forecast is presented on a basis consistent with the accounting policies of the group in question.
Reporting accountants’ responsibility
Our responsibility is to provide a limited assurance report on the forecast prepared for the purpose of complying with the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited and for inclusion in the circular to Investec Property Fund Limited’s shareholders. We conducted our limited assurance engagement in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3400, applicable to the Examination of Prospective Financial Information. This standard requires us to obtain suffi cient appropriate evidence as to whether or not:
• Management’s best-estimate assumptions on which the forecasts are based are not unreasonable and are consistent with the purpose of the information;
• The forecast is properly prepared on the basis of the assumptions;
• The forecast is properly presented and all material assumptions are adequately disclosed; and
• The forecast is prepared and presented on a basis consistent with the accounting policies of the Fund in question for the period concerned.
In a limited assurance engagement, the evidence gathering procedures are more limited than for a reasonable assurance engagement and therefore less assurance is obtained than in a reasonable assurance engagement. We believe our evidence obtained is suffi cient and appropriate to provide a basis for our limited assurance conclusion.
Summary of work performed
Sources of information used in arriving at our conclusion are as follows:
• Management prepared forecasts for the five months ending 31 March 2016 and the further 12 months ended 31 March 2017;
• Discussions with the Directors of the Fund regarding the forecasts presented;
60
• Discussions with the Directors of the Fund regarding the prevailing market and economic conditions;
• Lease agreements for a sample of the properties;
• Discussions with the individual property managers regarding the material expenditure items; and
• Valuation reports, prepared by the Independent Valuers appointed by the Fund in respect of the properties.
We have performed the procedures as set out in the SAICA circular 09/2005, The Reporting Accountants Reporting Responsibilities in terms of section 13 of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited:
Rental income
A sample selection was made from the forecast contracted rental income streams per the profi t forecast for the property portfolio and agreed to the underlying lease agreements. The total sample was greater than 70% of contracted revenue for the fi ve months ending 31 March 2016 and the further twelve months ended 31 March 2017.
The forecast rental income was determined with reference to existing rental agreements on a property by property basis.
Analytical procedures were performed to assess the reasonableness of management’s assumptions over both the period of vacancy between tenants and the escalation rate applied.
The straight-lining adjustment required by IFRS, of rental income generated by operating leases, was recalculated and agreed to the forecast model.
Turnover rentals were discussed with the property managers and analytical procedure were performed to assess the reasonableness thereof.
Uncontracted income
Determined the reasonableness of the assumptions made regarding uncontracted rental income, renewals and new leases.
Recalculated the percentage uncontracted rental income for each period.
Property expenses
Forecast property expenses were compared to unaudited prior period expenses and were discussed with the property managers. We obtained the independent valuer’s valuation reports for the portfolio of properties and inspected the information with respect to the property expenses that is contained in these reports.
Forecast recoveries as contained in the profi t forecast model were selected for the property portfolio and agreed to the underlying lease agreements where applicable and discussed with the property managers. Recoveries were compared against the correlating expense forecast and explanations were obtained for any signifi cant variances.
Portfolio expenses
The forecast transaction costs, fi nance raising, interest payable, company costs, asset management fees and other portfolio expenses were agreed to underlying legal agreements.
Material expenditure items
Examined the detailed forecast expenditure to ensure that all material expenditure items, as required by paragraph 13.14 (f) of the JSE Listings Requirements, were disclosed.
Application of accounting policies
We inspected whether the accounting policies as set out in the circular to be applied by the Fund in the future were applied consistently in arriving at forecast income and expenses.
Model review
We inspected the consistency and reviewed the mathematical accuracy of the model.
Vacancy profi le and lease expiry profi le
We inspected the individual property worksheets to ascertain that the vacancy profi le and the lease expiry profi le included in the forecast model is derived from the correct sources as required by section 13.18(d) and (e) of the JSE Limited Listings requirements.
For a sample of the properties, we agreed the dates of expiry of the selected individual leases refl ected in the individual property worksheets to the signed lease agreements.
61
Conclusion
Based on our examination of the evidence obtained, nothing has come to our attention which causes us to believe that:
• The assumptions, barring unforeseen circumstances, do not provide a reasonable basis for the preparation of the forecast;
• The forecast has not been properly compiled on the basis stated;
• The forecast has not been properly presented and all material assumptions are not adequately disclosed; and
• The forecast is not presented on a basis consistent with the accounting policies of the group in question.
Actual results are likely to be different from the forecast since anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected and the variations may be material. Accordingly no assurance is expressed regarding the achievability of the forecast.

Notes:
1. The “Audited IPF as at 31 March 2015” column is extracted from Investec Property Fund’s audited results for the year ended 31 March 2015.
2. Griffin acquisition – the Fund acquired a portfolio of properties from the Griffin group for R826.4 million. In addition to this, estimated transaction costs of R14.0 million have been capitalised to the value of the properties. Equity raising costs, which are directly attributable to the equity raise, of R4.1 million have been accounted for as a deduction from equity. In terms of the transaction agreements, the Fund will be reimbursed R3.0 million for property management fees for the first two years post the acquisition, which was deducted off the purchase price payable, and has been recognised as income received in advance. The properties are in the process of being transferred to the Fund. In order to facilitate the Griffin acquisition, Investec Bank Limited disposed of Investec Property Fund shares through a secondary placement on the market via an accelerated book build process and has irrevocably committed to subscribe for Investec Property Fund shares in terms of a vendor placement at a price equal to the price achieved in the book build, of R15.70 per Share. After fulfilment of all conditions precedent in terms of the acquisition, the Fund will issue Investec Bank Limited 35,761,709 Shares at a price of R15.70 per share. The remaining purchase consideration of R280.0 million will be settled in cash by utilising the Fund’s debt facilities.
3. “Double Flash” and “Friedshelf” columns are extracted from audited special purpose financial statements of each of the respective companies for the year ended 30 June 2015 and 28 February 2015 respectively. The statement of financial position of these entities has been audited by Ernst & Young Inc., who have issued a qualif ied opinion only in respect of the opening balances and opening retained earnings, due to the fact that Ernst & Young Inc. is not the auditor of these companies and was only engaged to audit the special purpose financial statements for the purpose of this transaction.
4. The “Pro forma financial effects of the Acquisition” column takes into account the following adjustments:
(a) The pro forma financial information is prepared on the basis that the purchase of these companies and properties does not meet the definition of IFRS 3, Business Combinations and was treated in terms of IAS 40 which effectively recognises the asset at cost plus transaction costs.
(b) The increase in the fair value of the properties that form part of Double Flash and Friedshelf to reflect the acquisition values in terms of the Zenprop Acquisition as follows:
(i) Double Flash fair value adjustment of R0.1 million
(ii) Friedshelf fair value adjustment of R67.7 million
(c) The purchase of letting enterprises for the remainder of the properties as detailed in this Circular for R5,917 million, being the purchase consideration of R7,060 million (excluding transaction costs) less R1,075 million for the purchase of Double Flash and Friedshelf, less the fair value adjustments on Double Flash and Friedshelf of R67.8 million.
(d) Transaction costs estimated at R70.6 million, as set out in paragraph 13 of the Circular, have been capitalised to the value of the properties. It has been assumed that none of the transaction costs relate to the rights offer.
(e) The elimination of the equity and the settlement of working capital (all balances, excluding Investment Property) reflected in the audited special purpose financial statements of each of the two companies being acquired being Double Flash and Friedshelf.
(f ) The elimination of the straight-line lease adjustment recognised in the audited special purpose financial statements of each of the two companies being acquired. The straight line adjustment will be calculated and recognised in terms of IFRS from the date of acquisition.
(g) The elimination of the borrowings recognised in the audited special purpose financial statements of each of the two companies being acquired will be settled by Zenprop in terms of the Acquisition Agreements.
(h) The elimination of the deferred tax balances. Investec Property Fund is a REIT and, accordingly, both the Fund and the subsidiaries are not subject to capital gains tax and does not recognise deferred tax.
(i) The settlement of the Purchase Consideration as follows:
(i) R0.80 billion will be settled through the issue of 48.5 million Shares at a price of R16.51 (ex dividend) to the Sellers, in compliance with the JSE Listing Requirements.
(ii) R0.20 billion will be discharged through the transfer to the Sellers of Investec Australia Property Fund shares owned by the Fund, at a price of R11.58 (ex-dividend) per share.
(iii) R6.06 billion, together with transaction costs of 1% of the Purchase Consideration, will be settled in cash and funded through a combination of debt and equity:
• R3.57 billion will be funded by debt raised on the properties acquired.
• R2.57 billion will be funded by a fully committed rights offer at an ex-dividend Rights Offer price of R15.00 (which represents a 9.1% discount to the 30 day VWAP (excluding accrued distribution) up to and including 6 August 2015).
If the Rights Offer is not fully subscribed, any shortfall will be taken up by Zenprop through the issue of Investec Property Fund Shares to Zenprop at the ex dividend Rights Offer price of R15.00 per share.
5. The “Post the Zenprop Acquisition” column reflects the unaudited pro forma statement of financial position after the Zenprop Acquisition.
Additional information not included in the pro formas above:
The Fund has undertaken the following additional corporate actions during the current financial period that are not reflected in the pro forma financial effects above:
1. Dividend Re-investment plan – 8,288,212 Shares were issued at a price of R16.50 per share.

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ LIMITED ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE CONSOLIDATED PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION OF INVESTEC PROPERTY FUND IN RESPECT OF THE ACQUISITION
The DirectorsInvestec Property Fund Limited100 Grayston DriveSandton2196South Africa
INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE COMPILATION OF THE PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION OF INVESTEC PROPERTY FUND LIMITED (“THE COMPANY”)
To the Directors
We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of the pro forma statement of fi nancial position of Investec Property Fund by the Directors. The pro forma statement of fi nancial position, as set out in the circular, consists of Pro forma Statement of Financial Position and related notes, including a reconciliation showing all of the pro forma adjustments to the share capital, reserves and other equity items relating to Investec Property Fund (collectively “Pro forma Financial Information”). The Pro forma Financial Information has been compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria specifi ed in the JSE Listings Requirements.
The Pro forma Financial Information has been compiled by the Directors to illustrate the impact of the Acquisitions and the Offer, described in the circular, on the Fund’s fi nancial position as at 31 March 2015, as if the Acquisitions and the Offer had taken place as at 31 March 2015. As part of this process, information about the Fund’s fi nancial position has been extracted by the Directors from the Fund’s fi nancial statements for the period ended 31 March 2015, on which an unqualifi ed 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 specifi ed in the JSE Listings Requirements and described in the circular.
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 specifi ed in the 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 specifi ed 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 fi nancial 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 fi nancial information used in compiling the Pro forma Financial Information.
As the purpose of Pro forma Financial Information included in a circular is solely to illustrate the impact of a signifi cant corporate action or event on unadjusted fi nancial information of the entity as if the corporate action or event 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 event or transaction at the Last Practicable Date would have been as presented.
66
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 signifi cant effects directly attributable to the corporate action or event, and to obtain suffi cient appropriate evidence about whether:
• 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 Fund, 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 suffi cient 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 specifi ed by the JSE Listings Requirements and described in the circular.

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ REVIEW OPINION ON THE EXISTENCE AND VALUATION OF THE ZENPROP PORTFOLIO OF PROPERTIES TO BE ACQUIRED BY INVESTEC PROPERTY FUND
The DirectorsInvestec Property Fund Limited100 Grayston DriveSandton2196South Africa
INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ LIMITED ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE EXISTENCE AND RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT OF THE PROPERTIES AND LIABILITIES TO BE ACQUIRED BY INVESTEC PROPERTY FUND AT A VALUE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMPANY’S ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND THE RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT CRITERIA OF IFRS AS REFLECTED IN THE “ADJUSTMENTS” COLUMN AND THE “AFTER THE ACQUISITIONS” COLUMN OF THE PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION OF THE COMPANY
We have performed our limited assurance engagement for purposes of paragraph 13.16(e) of the Listings Requirements with regard to the existence and recognition and measurement of the properties and liabilities to be acquired by the Fund at a value determined in accordance with the Fund’s accounting policies and the recognition and measurement criteria of IFRS, issued in connection with the Acquisitions and Offer that are the subject of this circular as refl ected in the “Adjustments” column and the “After the Acquisitions” column of the pro forma statement of fi nancial position of the Fund.
This report and the conclusion contained herewith are provided solely for the benefi t of the board of directors for the purposes of their consideration of the proposed acquisition (the “Transaction”). This report is not addressed to and may not be relied upon by any other third party for any purpose whatsoever.
Directors’ responsibilities
The Directors are solely responsible for the compilation, contents and presentation of the pro forma statement of fi nancial position contained in the circular and for the fi nancial information from which it has been prepared, including the fi nancial information relating to the properties to be acquired.
Their responsibility includes determining that; the properties to be acquired by the Fund exist, have been valued in accordance with the Fund’s accounting policies and the recognition and measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and are correctly refl ected in the “Adjustments” column and the “After the Acquisitions” column of the pro forma statement of fi nancial position of the Fund in terms of the Listings Requirements.
Reporting accountants’ responsibility
Our responsibility is to express our limited assurance conclusion regarding the existence and recognition and measurement of the properties and liabilities to be acquired by the Fund at a value determined in accordance with the Fund’s accounting policies and the recognition and measurement criteria of IFRS, as refl ected in the “Adjustments” column and the “After the Acquisitions” column of the pro forma statement of fi nancial position of the Fund, included in the circular.
We conducted our limited assurance engagement in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements applicable to Assurance Engagements other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information – ISAE 3000 and paragraph 13.16(e) of the Listings Requirements. This standard requires us to comply with ethical requirements and to obtain suffi cient appropriate evidence on which to base our conclusion. We do not accept any responsibility for any reports previously given by us on any fi nancial information used in the compilation of the pro forma statement of fi nancial position beyond that owed to those to whom those reports were addressed by us at the dates of their issue.

Summary of work performed
Our procedures included making such enquiries and obtaining such written representations from the Directors and the Independent Valuers as we considered necessary, and specifi cally we:
• obtained written representation from the Directors that they have physically inspected all the properties, to confirm their existence;
• examined the title deeds for the properties to be acquired;
• compared the cost/value at which the properties are being acquired reflected in the “Adjustments” column and in the “After the Acquisitions” column of the pro forma statement of financial position of the Fund to the Independent Valuers’ valuations included in the circular;
• compared the cost/value at which the properties are being acquired reflected in the “Adjustments” column and in the “After the Acquisitions” column of the pro forma statement of financial position of the Fund to the underlying Sale and Purchase Agreements;
• enquired of the Directors as to the existence of any liabilities, unrecorded liabilities or contingencies;
• obtained written representation from the Directors that all the properties will be acquired free from any liabilities and/or encumbrances;
• made enquiries regarding the following matters pertaining to the work of the Independent Valuers in accordance with the guidelines in ISAE 3000 pertaining to the work of each of experts:
– the professional competence of the Independent Valuers, in particular, membership of an appropriate professional body and experience and reputation in the field;
– the independence of the Independent Valuers, including confirmation from each Independent Valuer that there were no actual or apparent conflicts of interest that might impair, or be perceived to impair, his or her objectivity;
– that the scope of the Independent Valuers’ work was not limited in any way;
– the assumptions and methods used;
– the Independent Valuers’ physical inspection of the properties being acquired;
• inspected Fund’s accounting policies with respect to Investment Properties and liabilities and considered whether these were in compliance with the recognition and measurement criteria of IFRS;
• considered whether the Fund’s accounting policies with respect to Investment Property were applied to the properties to be acquired as reflected in the “Adjustments” column and in the “After the Acquisitions” column of the pro forma statement of financial position; and
• for debt raised we agreed the numbers included in the adjustment column of statement of financial position with loan agreements in place.
In arriving at our conclusion, we have relied upon fi nancial information prepared by the Directors and other information from various public, fi nancial and industry sources. While our work performed has involved an analysis of the information provided to us, our limited assurance engagement does not constitute an audit or review of any of the underlying fi nancial information conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing or International Standards on Review Engagements and accordingly, we do not express an audit or review opinion.
In a limited assurance engagement the evidence-gathering procedures are more limited than for a reasonable assurance engagement and therefore less assurance is obtained than in a reasonable assurance engagement. We believe that our evidence obtained is suffi cient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion.
Conclusion
Based on our examination of the evidence obtained and pursuant to Section 13.16(e) of the Listings Requirements, nothing has come to our attention which causes us to believe that:
• the properties to be acquired by the Fund and debt to be raised, as reflected in the “Adjustments” column and in the “After the Acquisitions” column of the pro forma statement of financial position of the Fund set out in the circular do not exist;
• the value at which the acquisition of the properties to be acquired by the Fund and debt to be raised, as reflected in the “Adjustments” column and in the “After the Acquisitions and Private Placement” column of the pro forma statement of financial position of the Fund as set out in the circular, is not in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting policies of the Fund and the recognition and measurement criteria of IFRS.
69
The valuation of the property assets does not necessarily refl ect the actual value the assets would achieve in a future transaction or the actual cash fl ows that will arise in future. The actual cash fl ows that will arise in future may differ from the anticipated cash fl ows used for valuation purposes since anticipated events may not occur as expected and the variation may be material. Accordingly no assurance is expressed regarding the achievability of the fair value in a future transaction.

2. BASIS AND METHOD OF VALUATION
The valuation is based on market value.
Market value means the best price, at which the sale of an interest in properties may reasonably be expected to have been completed, unconditionally for a cash consideration on the date of valuation, assuming:
• a willing seller and a willing buyer in a market;• that, prior to the date of valuation, there had been a reasonable period (having regard to the nature of the
properties and the state of the market) for the proper marketing of the properties, for the agreement of price and terms and for the completion of the sale; and
• that the state of the market, level of values and other circumstances are, on any earlier assumed date of exchange of contracts, the same as on the date of the valuation.
The calculation of the market value of the properties have been based on income capitalisation. This is the fundamental basis on which commercial income producing properties are traded on the market in South Africa. This is also due to there being strong supporting evidence of open market rental rates and capitalisation rates which are evidenced by sales in the market.
Properties traded in the current market reflects a yield rate relationship between revenue and capital value. This rate is an accurate determinant of the capitalisation rate.
Discounted cash flow values have, however, also been calculated for the properties as a check to ensure that the capitalised value calculated is consistent with market norms and expectations.
The considerations for the capitalised valuations assume no vacancies and are based on a fully let tenancy profile. Vacancies have been propert y specific in that where there are vacancies we have allowed for default voids into perpetuity ranging from 1.0% to 2.5%. Current vacancies will be the subject of an income guarantee with the Sellers profiled properties which are offered on the market at realistic rentals generally lease relatively quickly, underwriting the demand in the area.
The valuation calculations are based on the following:
(a) Calculating the forward cash flow of all contractual and other income from the properties;
(b) Calculating the forward contractual and other expenditure as well as provisions for various expenses in order to provide for void or future capital expenditure to which the properties may be exposed;
(c) There is no loss of rental due to renovations or refurbishments currently being carried out on the buildings. There is, however, ongoing external maintenance work. There is no loss of rental as a result of these activities. We have allocated provisions for Repairs and Maintenance to the valuation for the properties which are not let in terms of Fully Repairing and Insuring Leases ;
(d) Generally the rentals are market related. This has been determined by comparing similar buildings in comparable areas to the properties valued, in terms of rental per square metre. The rental rates have also been checked against various published indices including the South African Properties Owners Association (SAPOA/IPD) index. Where some of the accommodation is over-rented, or that cannot be re-rented at the same or higher rental rate should such properties become vacant, the Discounted Cash Flow Calculations will revert to market rentals on expiry of those leases. Notwithstanding this there is therefore minimal potential for rental flow reversion. There is however, a positive upside potential for real growth in rental. This is provided that the economy remains in a slow recovery pattern as currently being experienced as that there are no major economic fluctuations which may upset the economy ;
(e) Capitalising the net contractual income derived from the properties for a period of one year in advance, calculated from 1 July 2015;
(f) The valuations have considered published market statistics regarding rental rates and expenditure for the different types of properties. It is also considered numerous other portfolios of similar properties in order to determine if any properties are over rented or have excessive expenditure .
3. VACANT OR SPARE LAND
To our knowledge there is no vacant or spare land which has been the subject of any valuation.
76
4. VALUATION QUALIFICATIONS
Qualifications are usually detailed as a consequence of leases under negotiation that have not yet been formalised; leases of a large nature where the premises are difficult to re-let; specialised properties; large exposure to a single tenant; potential tenant failure due to over-rent; expenses required for major repairs; maintenance or other exposure to maintain the lettability of the building; contingent expropriations or servitudes that may be enforced; poor lease records whereby the lease may be disputed or rendered invalid.
I have, to the best of my knowledge, considered all of these aspects in the valuation of the properties. The properties are not prejudiced in value by the influence of the above factors.
The valuer is however not responsible for the competent daily management of the properties that will ensure that this status is maintained, or for the change of any laws, services by local authority or economic circumstances that may adversely impact on the integrity of the buildings or the tenant profile .
5. OTHER GENERAL MATTERS AND VALUATION SUMMARY
A full valuation report will be available for inspection detailing tenancy, town planning, valuer’s commentary, expenditure and other details. This has been given to the directors of Investec Property Fund Limited.
6. ALTERNATIVE USE FOR THE PROPERT IES
The properties have been valued in accordance with their existing use which represents their market value. No alternative use for the properties has been considered in determining their value.
7. OTHER COMMENTS
Our valuations exclude any amounts of Value-added Tax, transfer duty, or securities transfer duty.
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 valuations are 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. The valuations exclude any provision for capital expenditure which we are advised, has been provided for in the portfolio cash flow budgets. It is assumed that there is adequate provision to sustain the income levels projected.
Information on the properties regarding rental income, recoveries, turnovers and other income detail has been provided to me by the current owners and their managing agents.
I have received copies of the leases of the properties and have undertaken the necessary lease audit. The leases have been read to check against management detail, in order to ensure that management has correctly captured tenant information as per contractual agreement. This has been done to test management information against the underlying agreements.
I have further compared certain expenditure items given to me to the market norms of similar properties. This has also been compared to historic expenditure levels of the properties themselves. Historical contractual expenditures and municipal utility services were compared to the past performances of the properties in order to assess potential expenditure going forward.
All areas quoted within the detailed valuation reports will be those stated in the information furnished and verified where plans were available. To the extent that plans were not available, reliance was placed on the information submitted by the managing agents.
The properties have been valued in their existing states, before allocations of capital expenditure. I have not carried out any structural surveys, nor inspected those areas that are unexposed or inaccessible, neither have I arranged for the testing of any electrical or other services.
The valuations assume that formal environmental assessments are not required and further that the properties are not environmentally impaired or contaminated, unless otherwise stated in our reports.
The properties are not situated outside the Republic of South Africa.
77
8. SOURCES OF INFORMATION
Information relating to the Properties has been obtained and, where applicable, verified, from:
• Properties Managers
• Our physical inspection of the properties from 17th June 2015 to 17th July 2015 confirming the nature of improvements and the tenancies reflected in the lease schedules.
• A lease audit being undertaken by ourselves.
• Zenprop Properties Managers.
• Deeds Office; and Surveyor General’s Office & Local Authorities for verification of the Title Deeds, Erf diagrams, Municipal Valuations and Town Planning conditions.
• The Sellers
• SAPOA/IPD Index with regards to vacancy surveys, comparable market rentals, operating expense profiles, annualised rental and expense growth plus the Discount and Capitalisation Rate surveys.
• The Rode Report to confirm those fundamentals referred to in the point above.
9. TOWN PLANNING RESTRICTIONS/CONDITIONS AND MATERIAL CONTRAVENTIONS OF STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS
Full town planning details and title deeds have been supplied in the detailed valuation reports including conditions and restrictions and the properties has been checked against such conditions. This is to ensure that they comply with town planning regulations and title deeds. There do not appear to be any infringements of local authority regulations or deeds by the properties.
The valuations have further assumed that the improvements have been erected in accordance with the relevant Building and Town Planning Regulations and on inspection it would appear that the improvements are in accordance with the relevant town planning regulations.
10. LEASES
Our valuations have been based upon a lease audit and physical inspection of the properties confirming the actual tenant leases supplied to us by the owners and managing agents.
Contractual escalations range from 7.5% to 8.50% going forward and virtually all rentals detailed in this report are from existing contractual leases.
In respect of the properties – most of the leases are designed so that the expenses are paid by the Tenants.
There are no intra-group leases other than the rental guarantees for the vacant accommodation.
Save for considered assumptions being made with regard the renewal of leases, we confirm that the current rental income being achieved in the portfolio does not materially differ from the estimated future rental income.
11. OPTIONS OR BENEFIT/DETRIMENT OF CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENTS
The Newcastle, Nicol Grove – Seacom, Golfer’s Club, Union Castle and WNOP properties are the subject of options (rights of first refusal). If so exercised they will not form part of the portfolio.
To my knowledge there are no other contractual arrangements on the properties other than the leases as detailed in the report that have a major benefit or are detrimental to the fundamental value base of the property. The terms of which do not include any factors which affect value and therefore do not affect my calculations.
78
12. CONCLUSION
I confirm that to the best of my knowledge and belief there:
• are no options held by any third parties to purchase the Properties – other than the Newcastle, Nicol Grove – Seac om, Golfer’s Club, Union Castle and WNOP properties;
• have been no material changes between the date of the valuations and the last practicable date in any circumstances relating to the Properties, which would affect the valuation thereof.
I confirm that I have no pecuniary interest that would conflict with proper valuations of the Properties by the Fund, other than normal professional fees. With 24 years’ experience in properties valuation, the undersigned is qualified to express an opinion on the value of the Properties.
Yours faithfullyMILLS FITCHET MAGNUS PENNY

NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
Unless otherwise defi ned, the terms defi ned in the Circular to which this notice is attached and forms part, bear the same meanings in this notice, and in particular the resolutions set out below.
Notice is hereby given that a General Meeting of Shareholders of the Fund will be held on Wednesday, 14 October 2015 at 14:00 in the 2nd Floor Executive Boardroom, Investec Bank Limited, 100 Grayston Drive, Sandown, Sandton, 2196 for the purpose of considering and, if deemed fi t, passing, with or without modifi cation, the following special resolution and ordinary resolutions of the Fund as set out hereunder.
Kindly note that in terms of section 63(1) of the Act , meeting participants (including proxies) will be required to provide reasonable satisfactory identifi cation before being entitled to participate in or vote at the General Meeting. Forms of identifi cation that will be accepted include original and valid identity documents, driver’s licences and passports.
Record dates, proxies and voting
In terms of section 59(1)(a) and (b) of the Act, the Board of Directors of the Fund has set the record dates for purposes of determining which Shareholders are entitled to:
• receive notice of the General Meeting (being the date on which a Shareholder must be registered in the Fund’s securities register as a Shareholder in order to receive notice of the General Meeting) as Friday, 4 September 2015; and
• participate in and vote at the General Meeting (being the date on which the Shareholder must be registered in the Fund’s securities register as a Shareholder in order to participate in and vote at the General Meeting) as Friday, 9 October 2015.
Shareholders who have not dematerialised their Shares or who have dematerialised their Shares with ‘own name’ registration, and who are entitled to attend, participate in and vote at the General Meeting, are entitled to appoint a proxy to attend, speak and vote in their stead. A proxy need not be a Shareholder and shall be entitled to vote on a show of hands or a poll. It is requested that forms of proxy be forwarded so as to reach the Transfer Secretaries in South Africa by no later than 48 (forty eight) hours before the commencement of the General Meeting. If Shareholders who have not dematerialised their shares or who have dematerialised their shares with ‘own name’ registration, and who are entitled to attend, participate in and vote at the General Meeting, do not deliver forms of proxy to the Transfer Secretaries in South Africa by the
82
relevant time, such Shareholders will nevertheless be entitled to lodge the form of proxy in respect of the General Meeting immediately prior to the exercising of the Shareholders’ rights at the General Meeting, in accordance with the instructions therein, with the Chairman of the General Meeting.
Shareholders who have dematerialised their Shares, other than those Shareholders who have dematerialised their Shares with ‘own name’ registration, should contact their CSDP or broker in the manner and within the time stipulated in the agreement entered into between them and their CSDP or broker:
• to furnish them with their voting instructions; or
• in the event that they wish to attend the General Meeting, to obtain the necessary letter of representation to do so.
Every Shareholder present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote shall, on a show of hands, have only one vote irrespective of the number of Shares such Shareholder holds. On a poll, every Shareholder present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote, shall be entitled to one vote for each Share the Shareholder holds.
1. SPECIAL RESOLUTION: AUTHORITY TO ISSUE SHARES AS REQUIRED IN TERMS OF THE ACT
“RESOLVED AS A SPECIAL RESOLUTION that, subject to the approval of Ordinary Resolution 1 below, to the extent that the aggregate Investec Property Fund shares issued pursuant to the implementation of the Acquisition by issuing Shares to the Sellers at R16.51 per Share (ex-dividend) referred to in Ordinary Resolution 1 and in terms of the proposed Rights Offer at R15.00 per Share (ex-dividend) is equal to or exceeds 30% of the voting power of all shares presently in issue, the issue of all such Shares be and is hereby authorised and approved in terms of section 41(3) of the Act .”
This Special Resolution must be approved by a 75% majority of the votes cast by the Fund’s Shareholders present in person or by proxy or represented at the General Meeting.
The reason for the Special Resolution is that section 41(3) of the Act requires that companies obtain the approval of shareholders by special resolution for any issue of securities if the voting power of the securities that will be issued will be equal to or exceed 30% of the voting power of all the securities of that class held immediately before the issue. The effect of the Special Resolution will therefore be to grant the Fund the requisite approval to issue the shares as required in terms of section 41(3) of the Act.
2. ORDINARY RESOLUTION NUMBER 1 – APPROVAL OF THE ACQUISITION OF THE ZENPROP PORTFOLIO AS A CATEGORY 1 TRANSACTION
“RESOLVED AS AN ORDINARY RESOLUTION as required by the Listings Requirements , that the acquisition by the Fund of:

• the letting enterprises for the remainder of the Zenprop Portfolio (as defined in the circular to which this notice of General Meeting is attached)
for a purchase consideration of R7.06 billion to be settled as follows:
• R0.80 billion through the issue of the Investec Property Fund Shares to Zenprop at a clean price of R16.51 per share (ex dividend);
• R0.20 billion through the transfer to Zenprop of Investec Australia Property Fund shares owned by the Fund at a price of R11.58 (ex dividend) per IAPF share; and
• the remaining R6.06 billion and associated transaction costs in cash, funded through a combination of debt and equity,
subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Acquisition Agreement concluded between the Fund and the Sellers .
The reason for Ordinary Resolution Number 1 is to approve the acquisition of the Zenprop Portfolio from the Sellers as a category 1 transaction as required by the Listings Requirements.

83
3. ORDINARY RESOLUTION NUMBER 2 – AUTHORITY TO ISSUE SHARES AT A DISCOUNT OF GREATER THAN 10%
“RESOLVED AS AN ORDINARY RESOLUTION that, subject to the passing of the Special Resolution and Ordinary Resolution Number 1 and Ordinary Resolution Number 3, the Fund may issue the Shares to the Sellers at a price of R15.00 per Share if the Rights Offer is not fully subscribed, which may constitute a discount of greater than 10% to the 30-day VWAP.”
The reason for Ordinary Resolution Number 2 is to approve the issue of new Investec Property Fund Shares to the Sellers at R15.00 per share should the Rights Offer not be fully subscribed as part consideration of the Purchase Consideration as described in paragraph 1.3 of the Circular.
In terms of paragraph 5.62 of the Listings Requirements, Ordinary Resolution Number 2 must be approved by 75% of the votes cast by Shareholders present in person or by representation or proxy at the General Meeting (excluding the Sellers).
4. ORDINARY RESOLUTION NUMBER 3 – PLACING THE AUTHORISED BUT UNISSUED SHARES UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE ACQUISITION INCLUDING THE RIGHTS OFFER AND VENDOR ISSUE
“RESOLVED AS AN ORDINARY RESOLUTION that, subject to the passing of the Special Resolution and Ordinary Resolutions Numbers 1, 2 and 4, and the required filings with CIPC having been completed that approximately 219 488 165 shares of no par value in the authorised but unissued share capital of the Fund be and are hereby placed under the control of the Directors with specific authority to allot and issue such Shares upon such terms and conditions as they may determine for the specific purpose of implementing the Acquisition, including the proposed Rights Offer and the issuing of the shares in terms of the Acquisition, subject to the provisions of the Act, the Memorandum of Incorporation and the Listings Requirements.”
The reason for Ordinary Resolution Number 3 is to authorise the placing of the authorised but unissued Shares under the control of the Directors for the purposes of implementing the Acquisition including the Rights Offer and the issue of shares to the Sellers on the terms set out in the Acquisition Agreement and summarised in this Circular.
Ordinary Resolution Number 3 must be approved by a simple majority (that is, more than 50%) of the votes cast by Shareholders present in person or by representation or proxy at the General Meeting.
5. ORDINARY RESOLUTION NUMBER 4 – AUTHORITY OF DIRECTORS
“RESOLVED AS AN ORDINARY RESOLUTION that any one Director of the Fund be and is hereby authorised to do all such things and sign all such documents as required to give effect to the Special Resolution , Ordinary Resolution Number 1, Ordinary Resolution Number 2 and Ordinary Resolution Number 3 set out in this notice.”
The reason for Ordinary Resolution Number 4 is to grant a Director, and any such party approved by that Director, the authority to sign all such documents and take all such actions required to give effect to the resolutions set out above.

SUMMARY OF RIGHTS CONTAINED IN SECTION 58 OF THE ACT
In terms of section 58 of the Act:
• a Shareholder may, at any time and in accordance with the provisions of section 58 of the Act, appoint any individual (including an individual who is not a Shareholder) as a proxy to participate in, and speak and vote at, a Shareholders meeting on behalf of such Shareholder;
• a proxy may delegate her or his authority to act on behalf of a Shareholder to another person, subject to any restriction set out in the instrument appointing such proxy;
• irrespective of the form of instrument used to appoint a proxy, the appointment of a proxy is suspended at any time and to the extent that the relevant Shareholder chooses to act directly and in person in the exercise of any of such Shareholder’s rights as a Shareholder (see note 6);
• any appointment by a Shareholder of a proxy is revocable, unless the form of instrument used to appoint such proxy states otherwise;
• if an appointment of a proxy is revocable, a Shareholder may revoke the proxy appointment by: (i) cancelling it in writing, or making a later inconsistent appointment of a proxy and (ii) delivering a copy of the revocation instrument to the proxy and to the company; and
• a proxy appointed by a Shareholder is entitled to exercise, or abstain from exercising, any voting right of such Shareholder without direction, except to the extent that the relevant company’s memorandum of incorporation, or the instrument appointing the proxy, provides otherwise (see note 3).
Notes:
1. Each Shareholder is entitled to appoint one or more proxies (who need not be Shareholders in the Fund) to attend, speak and, on a poll, vote in place of that Shareholder at the General Meeting.
2. A Shareholder may insert the name of a proxy or the names of two alternative proxies of the Shareholder’s choice in the space provided, with or without deleting “the Chairman of the General Meeting”. The person whose name stands first on this form of proxy and who is present at the General Meeting will be entitled to act as proxy to the exclusion of those whose names follow.
3. A Shareholder’s instructions to the proxy must be indicated by the insertion of the relevant number of votes exercisable by that Shareholder in the appropriate box provided. Failure to comply with the above will be deemed to authorise the Chairman of the General Meeting, if the Chairman is the authorised proxy, to vote in favour of the resolutions at the General Meeting, or any other proxy to vote or to abstain from voting at the General Meeting as he/she deems fit, in respect of all the Shareholder’s votes exercisable thereat.
4.
