SALE OF THREE PROPERTY RENTAL ENTERPRISES TO VH PROPERTIES PROPRIETARY LIMITED
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Shareholders are advised that on 27 October 2021, Imbali Props 21 Proprietary Limited (“Imbali”
or “the Seller”) (a subsidiary of Tradehold), concluded an agreement (“the Agreement”) with VH
Properties Proprietary Limited (“VH Properties” or “the Purchaser”) to dispose of three (3)
property rental enterprises (“the Disposal”) conducted in relation to three properties (“the
Properties”) details of which are contained in paragraph 7 below (collectively, “the Property
Rental Enterprises”).
1.2 VH Properties, a property investment and management company which is not a related party to
Tradehold, will acquire the Property Rental Enterprises from Imbali on a going concern basis. After
the implementation of the Disposal, VH Properties will also become the registered owner of the
Properties.
1.3 The Properties are tenanted by Nampak Products Limited (“Nampak”) and form part of the
R1,744bn portfolio of 16 properties purchased by Imbali from Nampak in 2016. A separate lease
agreement, which is still to be entered into between Nampak and Imbali (“the Standalone Lease
Agreement”) in relation to the Properties, will form part of the Property Rental Enterprises and
therefore the Seller will cede its rights and delegate its obligations under the Standalone Lease
Agreement to the Purchaser as part of the Disposal.
2. RATIONALE FOR THE DISPOSAL
2.1 The Seller’s business operations include property development and letting.

is derived.
