EQUITY RAISE IN CONSIDERATION FOR CASH OR SPECIFIED LISTED SHARES



NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES, CANADA, JAPAN OR
ANY JURISDICTION IN WHICH IT WOULD BE UNLAWFUL TO DO SO

Lighthouse’s results for the six months ended 31 March 2020 were released on 30 April 2020. The board of
directors of Lighthouse confirmed the Company’s focus on the management of its direct properties and listed
securities, as well as its intention to take advantage of strategic investment opportunities arising from the current
financial market volatility. On 15 May 2020, Hammerson plc notified the market of the Company’s investment
in 9.13% of its issued shares.

Lighthouse seeks to raise additional equity to pursue strategies and opportunities within its investment policy,
for cash or in exchange for listed shares, subject to regulatory constraints and compliance.

Lighthouse announces an equity raise of approximately ZAR2 billion through the issue of new ordinary shares
(“Equity Raise”) on its South African share register in ZAR, for cash or in consideration for JSE-listed shares
in Hammerson plc or NEPI Rockcastle plc (“Investment Shares”).

New shares will be issued by Lighthouse ex the distribution for the six months ended 31 March 2020, otherwise
ranking pari passu in all respects with existing shares.

Lighthouse has appointed Java Capital as bookrunner to manage the process of engaging (“Bookbuild”) with
select participants in order to undertake the Equity Raise, which does not constitute a public offer of Lighthouse
shares or any form of general or open offer to holders of Investment Shares. Java Capital will provide the select
participants with the Bookbuild terms and conditions and any agreement reached will be subject to the approval
of Lighthouse in its discretion.

The Equity Raise is subject to the requirements of the Company’s Constitution, the Listings Requirements of
the JSE Limited (“JSE”) and the Listing Rules of the Stock Exchange of Mauritius Ltd (“SEM”). Accordingly,
settlement of the Equity Raise will be conditional on meeting the requirements applicable to an issuance of
shares and, if applicable, to acquisitions by Lighthouse and the requisite approvals from the JSE and the SEM.

The Bookbuild is now open and the Company reserves the right to increase the size of the Equity Raise and
close it at any time. Pricing and allocations will be announced as soon as practicable following the closing of
the Bookbuild.
