ASX LISTING AND OFFER



Investors are referred to the Product Disclosure Statement(1) (PDS) lodged with the Australian Securities and
Investment Commission on 3 May 2019 and SENS Announcement titled “Announcement bookbuild launch ANZ
active” dated 16 May 2019 in relation to the additional primary listing of the Fund on the Australian Securities
Exchange (ASX) together with an associated offer involving the issue by the Responsible Entity of 76, 923, 077
new units (Subscription Units) in the Fund (Offer). The Offer comprised a broker firm offer and institutional
offer.

Final Subscription Price

The Responsible Entity is pleased to announce the successful completion of the broker firm offer and institutional
offer and bookbuild. The Offer was very well received by both institutional and retail investors, closing
oversubscribed and raising approximately A$102 million through the issue of 76, 923, 077 new units at a final
subscription price of A$1.32 (ZAR 12.95). The proceeds of the Offer will be used to repay debt and to pay the
costs associated with the Offer.

IPF Sale

In order to satisfy oversubscriptions received under the Offer, Investec Property Fund Limited (IPF), the largest
unitholder of the Fund, will sell 45 million Units it holds to certain institutional investors (IPF Sale), being the
maximum amount contemplated in the PDS. The Responsible Entity is supportive of the IPF Sale as a means of
satisfying excess demand under the Offer, and reducing the concentration of the Fund’s register in order to
facilitate broader investor engagement in Australia and improved aftermarket liquidity. IPF will continue to hold
9.9% of the Fund on completion of the Offer and the IPF Sale (Completion) and has confirmed that it has no
current intention to reduce its unitholding in the Fund following Completion.

Graeme Katz, CEO of the Fund, said “we are delighted with the strong reception and support from both
institutional and retail investors, and in particular we are pleased to see such strong appetite from investors in
Australia to list on the ASX. The Fund’s primary listing on the ASX, in addition to its current primary listing on the
JSE, will set the Fund up for the future and will stand to benefit our unitholders, existing and new.”

and institutional bookbuild are set out below:
