(“Safari” or “the Company”)
RELATED PARTY ACQUISITION
1. INTRODUCTION
Shareholders are advised that on 1 March 2019, the Company, entered into an agreement
(“Agreement”) with Cosmos Management CC (“Seller”), in terms of which the Company
will purchase the rights and obligations under the Portfolio Management Agreement
(“Management Agreement”) from the Seller for a purchase consideration of R 10 300
000 (ten million three hundred thousand rand) (“Purchase Consideration”) for the
remainder of the Management Agreement term (“Acquisition”).
2. RATIONALE FOR THE ACQUISITION
Safari’s board has decided to internalise its property management and leasing function.
This internalisation will eliminate the related party component with regards to the property
management and leasing services previously delivered through the Seller and Safari
Retail (Pty) Ltd respectively and will furthermore result in a significant cost saving over
the long term for the Company.
3. PURCHASE CONSIDERATION
The Purchase Consideration which will be settled in cash was derived by calculating the
net present value of the forecasted net profit from the remainder of the Management
Agreement. There is no compensation applicable to the leasing services as this was done
on a month-to-month basis and the Company will forthwith attend to leasing of its property
portfolio inhouse.
4. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT
The Acquisition is not subject to the fulfilment of any conditions precedent.
5. EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE ACQUISITION
Delivery and payment in respect of the Management Agreement took place on 1 March
2019.
The effective date of the Acquisition was 1 March 2019.
6. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The Acquisition will not result in Safari acquiring any assets.
Safari paid the Seller a management fee of R6 854 889.68 for the year ended 31 March
2018. As a result of the Acquisition Safari will no longer pay the Seller an annual
management fee, however Safari will incur additional salary and other costs (rental etc.).
Cosmos’ salary cost for its 2018 financial year was R4 009 234.41. Shareholders are
advised that due to the acquisition of Thornhill Shopping Centre and the finalisation of the
Nkomo Village Shopping Centre development during the 2019 financial year, the
anticipated saving would significantly increase as a result of the additional management
fees that would have been payable on these two centres for the 2021 financial year.
7. CLASSIFICATION OF THE ACQUISITION
In terms of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, the Seller is a “related party” of the
Company by virtue of the fact that the Seller is controlled by a Director of Safari.
Accordingly, the Acquisition will constitute a small related party transaction, which
requires the appointment of an independent expert to compile a fairness opinion on the
Acquisition in terms of paragraph 10.7(b) of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements to
confirm that the Acquisition is fair as to shareholders of the Company.
The directors of the Company have appointed PSG Capital (“Independent Expert”) as
the independent expert to compile a fairness opinion on the Acquisition in terms of
paragraph 10.7 of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements. The Independent Expert has
considered the terms and conditions of the Acquisition and is of the opinion that the terms
and conditions of the Acquisition are fair to the shareholders of the Company.
