FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT DISCLAIMER

The definitions and interpretations commencing on page 6 of this Circular apply mutatis mutandis to this forward-looking statement disclaimer. This Circular contains statements about Transcend that are or may be forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts, but rather reflect current expectations concerning future results and events and generally may be identified by the use of forward-looking words or phrases such as “believe”, “aim”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “foresee”, “forecast”, “likely”, “should”, “planned”, “may”, “will”, “outlook”, “project”, “estimated”, “potential” or similar words and phrases.

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. Transcend cautions that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results, financial and operating conditions, liquidity and the developments within the industry in which Transcend operates may differ materially from those made in, or suggested by, the forward-looking statements contained in this Circular.

All these forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions made by Transcend, as communicated in publicly available documents by Transcend, all of which estimates and assumptions, although Transcend believes them to be reasonable, are inherently uncertain. Such estimates, assumptions or statements may not eventuate. Factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied in those statements or assumptions include other matters not yet known to Transcend or not currently considered material by Transcend.

Shareholders should keep in mind that any forward-looking statement made in this Circular or elsewhere is applicable only at the date on which such forward-looking statement is made. New factors that could cause the business of Transcend not to develop as expected may emerge from time to time and it is not possible to predict all such factors. Further, the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement are not known. Transcend has no duty to, and does not intend to, update or revise the forward-looking statements contained in this Circular after the date of this Circular, except as may be required by law.

1.2 Purpose

The purpose of this Circular is to:• provide Shareholders with information relating to the Proposed Transactions in accordance with the Listings

Page 18: Transcend Residential Property Fund Limited CIRCULAR TO ... · 2 Page Annexure 1 Company structure 43 Annexure 2 Information on the Directors, management, material third parties and

16

In relation to the Vendor Placement, the Company requires approval of Shareholders by way of a special resolution in terms of section 41(3) of the Companies Act, requiring the approval of at least 75% of the total votes exercisable by Shareholders in writing, given that Transcend will be required to issue up to 82.45 million additional Shares at a price of R6.29 per share plus the Antecedent Divestiture pursuant to the Proposed Transactions, which will exceed 30% of the Shares currently in issue.

2. DETAILS OF THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS

2.1 Background to the Proposed Transactions

Transcend listed on the AltX on 1 December 2016. The Company’s business activities are primarily concerned with acquiring and managing income-generating residential properties, focusing on housing opportunities that are affordable, lifestyle enhancing and located in high growth urban areas. Transcend currently owns a portfolio of 14 properties (comprising 2 532 units) located across South Africa (Gauteng, Mpumalanga and Western Cape). Transcend aims to achieve consistent dividend growth by optimising the performance of its Existing Portfolio and growing the Existing Portfolio with new property acquisitions.

The Existing Portfolio services the affordable housing market across South Africa. Strategically, Transcend targets sectional title rental units located in secure complexes to optimise the operational cost of the assets and to create tenant demand for well-run and well-maintained complexes.

Transcend has identified 2 159 Units (spread across a portfolio of eight properties) that it would like to acquire, which are stabilised and well-located assets at competitive prices, that will allow the Company to increase its NOI through escalations and operational efficiencies.

The implementation of the Proposed Transactions will result in immediate scale, more than double the size of Transcend’s Existing Portfolio and significantly increase its market capitalisation, providing it with a solid platform to grow the Company further and increase its shareholder base and liquidity. The Company’s rationale for the Proposed Transactions is further set out below:

Rationale for the Proposed Transactions:• align with the Transcend growth strategy;• offer stable and secure income streams and further diversifies Transcend’s Existing Portfolio, with 86% of the

Units being located in Gauteng and 14% in the Western Cape;• will increase the NOI through escalations and operational efficiencies based on an increased demand for and

significant under-supply of residential rental units in the affordable market;• are in respect of properties that are situated near commercial and industrial work opportunities as well as

infrastructure and transportation corridors, which support high rental demand; and• assist Transcend with an immediate migration to the Main Board, providing the Company with access to

future capital requirements and assist in unlocking Transcend’s attractive pipeline of property acquisitions.

Other recent transactions:

Shareholders are referred to the announcements released on SENS on 3 April 2018, 12 June 2018, 17 September 2018 and 8 October 2018 relating to the conclusion of agreements to:

• acquire Silverleaf (a rental enterprise comprising 76 sectional title units, located at Erf 2151, Silverton Township, City of Tshwane for R44.5 million);

• acquire Vanguard (a rental enterprise comprising 60 sectional title units, located at 29 Jade Street, off Klipfontein Road, Heideveld, Cape Town for R33.3 million); and

• dispose of Acacia Place (a rental enterprise comprising 325 units together, located in Duvha, eMalahleni (Witbank), Mpumalanga for R127.5 million).

The Vanguard Transaction has been successfully concluded, with Vanguard transferring to Transcend on 23 August 2018.

It was initially anticipated that Silverleaf would transfer on or around 30 April 2018, but due to delays in the finalisation of town-planning amendments, the transfer has not yet been effected. It is expected that Silverleaf should transfer to Transcend by 1 December 2018.

The effective date of the Acacia Place Transaction is expected to be on or about 30 April 2019.

2.2 Funding of the Proposed Transactions

The total Purchase Consideration of the Proposed Transactions of R1.27 billion, together with transaction costs estimated at c. R26.6 million, will be settled in cash, to be funded through a combination of debt and equity as follows:

• Debt• Transcend will raise borrowings in respect of the IHS Res 1 Properties and Protea Glen of approximately

60% of the Purchase Consideration, which equates to gearing of c. R778 million. Following the implementation of the Proposed Transactions and Other Transactions, Transcend will have an LTV ratio of c. 46%, with the intention to reduce the LTV to a market average of 30% to 40% post-implementation of Transcend’s pipeline acquisitions.

• It is anticipated that the debt will be funded equally through the securing of new debt facilities from Standard Bank and Nedbank for the IHS Res 1 Transactions, from which can be paid down and drawn against in future at Transcend’s discretion, with new debt facilities for the Protea Glen Transactions to be funded by Standard Bank only.

• EquityTranscend intends to settle the balance of the Purchase Consideration by raising approximately R519 million of new equity by way of a Vendor Placement of 82.45 million Shares at a price of R6.29 per Share (ex-dividend).It is not expected that any Shares will be issued to the Asset Manager or the Property Manager. The Vendor Placement will facilitate the vendors of the IHS Res 1 Properties, receiving a cash consideration.

Underwriting and irrevocable commitments:

Transcend has procured the following support for the funding to be raised to settle the Equity Amount of the Purchase Consideration:• Emira, which is currently a 9.9% shareholder, has provided an irrevocable commitment to subscribe for such

additional Transcend shares as will ensure that following the implementation of the Private Placement, Emira will hold a minimum 25.1% of Transcend Shares and up to a maximum of 34.9% of the Transcend Shares in issue post-implementation of the Proposed Transactions and Other Transactions at a price of R6.29 per share plus the Antecedent Divestiture (the cum distribution that has been accrued from the last ex-dividend date up until the date of issuance of the new shares), being a total maximum of c. R327 million;

• MMA has undertaken in terms of the MMA Underwriting Agreement to underwrite the Private Placement for up to 16 693 164 Shares in the Company at the MMA Subscription Price, representing a maximum Underwriting Commitment of R105 million. MMA will be paid an underwriting fee in an amount equal to 1.5% of the Underwriting Commitment payable in U.S. Dollars using the same USD:ZAR exchange rate as utilised by MMA in its payment of the MMA Subscription Price. Given that MMA is a related party to the Company, the independent non-executive directors of the Company have passed a resolution confirming that the MMA underwriting fee is not greater than current market-related fees payable in this regard; and

• Emira has also agreed to make available the Funding Facility to the extent that there is a shortfall of the Private Placement in respect of the Proposed Transactions, up to a maximum amount of R105 million. Emira will be paid an underwriting fee in an amount equal to 1.5% of the Funding Facility.

The IHS Res 1 Properties comprise 1 983 Units spread across seven residential properties, primarily located in Gauteng and the Western Cape, South Africa.

An analysis of the IHS Res 1 Properties and Protea Glen in respect of sectoral, geographic, tenant, vacancy and lease expiry profiles over the forecast period ending 30 November 2019 is provided in the tables below.

2.4.2 Sectoral profile

The IHS Res 1 Properties and Protea Glen comprise 2 159 Units, with a combined GLA of 137 813m2

and are classified as being residential property.

2.4.4 Tenant profile

IHS Res 1 Properties tenant profile:

The entire tenant profile is classified as “C” (other tenants as defined in section 13 of the Listings Requirements), comprising 1 739 individual tenants as at 30 September 2018. These tenants have an average occupancy period of approximately 15 months across the IHS Res 1 Properties.

Protea Glen tenant profile:

The entire tenant profile is classified as “C” (other tenants as defined in section 13 of the Listings Requirements), comprising 147 individual tenants as at 30 September 2018. These tenants have an average occupancy period of approximately 27 months across Protea Glen.

2.4.5 Lease expiry profile

Due to the nature and quantum of the residential leases, Transcend enters into leases with tenants that are standard across its Existing Portfolio, and the portfolio of properties managed by the Asset Manager (including the IHS Res 1 Properties). Historically, leases have been entered into for an initial period of 12 months, after which leases convert into a month-to-month lease capable of termination by either Transcend or the tenant. However, recently Transcend has made a commercial decision to migrate to month-to-month leases from inception of the lease.

The rationale for this is that a 12-month lease is, by law (and specifically in terms of the National Credit Act, No 34 of 2005), capable of termination by tenants with one month’s notice in any event and therefore does not provide Transcend with any more security or certainty than a month-to-month lease. However, the eviction of non-compliant tenants under a 12-month lease is much more onerous than merely allowing a month-to-month lease to terminate in accordance with its terms.

23

Protea Glen:• The effective date of the Protea Glen Transaction will be the date on which the Units are transferred

from Sunnyshore to Transcend, from which date the ownership of the Units (and all risk and benefits in respect of the Units) will pass to Transcend. It is estimated that the effective date will be on or about 1 December 2018.

2.5.5 Other terms and conditions

Other terms and conditions contained in the Sale Agreements are normal for a transaction of this nature.

3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

3.1 The Proposed Transactions are classified as related party transactions for Transcend given that:• IHS Res 1 is 95% held by PSP, 4.25% effectively held by IHS S.a.r.l, and 0.75% effectively held by three

Transcend Directors (0.25% by Rob Wesselo, 0.25% by Robert Emslie and 0.25% by Cathal Conaty);• PSP currently has a 45% shareholding in SAWHF PVE (SA), which has an 80% shareholding in Transcend;

and• IHS Res 1 is managed by IHS, a majority shareholder of the Asset Manager;

3.2 Accordingly, SAWHF is a Related Party as defined in the Listings Requirements and therefore they (and their respective “associates” as defined in the Listings Requirements) are precluded from voting on the Proposed Transactions Resolution as set out in Annexure 18.

3.3 As set out in paragraph 13.20 and 13.31 of the Listings Requirements, a fairness opinion is not required given that:• A valuation report has been prepared by the Independent Property Valuer for the IHS Res 1 Properties and

Protea Glen Units being acquired;• The Independent Valuation exceeds the Purchase Consideration; and• The Purchase Consideration will be settled in cash.

3.4 The total value of the IHS Res 1 Properties and Protea Glen being acquired, valuation of the properties and total cash consideration paid are detailed in the table below:

3.5 The discount of R188.8 million to the valuation amount is mainly due to the fact that PSP has recently made a decision to exit all investments held in the African market in the short-term. By taking this decision, it would need to divest of its 95% interest in the IHS Res 1 business which facilitated the sale of the IHS Res 1 Properties. These properties were placed on the market and Transcend made an offer of R1.21 billion to IHS Res 1 in respect of the IHS Res 1 Properties. This is below the independent property valuation values of R1.397 billion (an offer accepted by IHS Res 1 as the Purchase Consideration). The discount of price to valuation amount is a direct result of PSP seeking an immediate exit from its investments in Africa and represents a fair selling price between a willing buyer and willing seller.

3.6 The Proposed Transactions are classified as a reverse take-over in terms of the Listings Requirements and are therefore subject to the approval by a simple majority of Transcend Shareholders voting on the Proposed Transactions, excluding the related parties and their associates as mentioned above.

8. BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW OF TRANSCEND RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY FUND

8.1 Background

The history and background of Transcend are set out in paragraph 2.1.

8.2 Transcend’s offering and strategy

Unlike conventional inner-city residential housing, the Company’s Existing Portfolio consists predominantly of two-and three-storey walk-up apartments, strategically located in desirable neighbourhoods, which are often equipped with lifestyle-enhancing amenities. As most properties are under six years old, they tend to have a high underlying capital value. As a result, performance is at lower rental yields than inner-city properties, and in the view of the Board, has greater potential for capital appreciation. The Company has majority ownership of the units in the Existing Portfolio.

The international residential REIT market is fairly sophisticated, as residential assets have tended to be less volatile over time relative to other classes of real estate. In South Africa, Transcend’s strategy is to invest in the affordable housing market, one of the few market segments where demand exceeds supply. It is anticipated that this undersupply will continue well into the future, due to the increasing trend towards urbanisation in South Africa. It therefore follows that Transcend offers investors exposure to a defensive asset class, that delivers housing to a heavily under-serviced portion of the real estate market.

Transcend aims to achieve consistent growth in dividends by maximising the performance of its property portfolio through inflation-linked rental escalations, and efficiencies in property and asset management.

8.3 Prospects

Transcend provides investors with exposure to a geographically diverse, well-managed and well-maintained portfolio of properties, while also providing investors with the security of well-located, quality underlying capital assets which are expected to appreciate in value over time. Residential housing is a unique defensive investment which has the potential to act as an inflation hedge over the long term, returning real growth in distributions.

Transcend is focused on “value add” initiatives to improve performance on the Existing Portfolio, with the aim of:• attracting and retaining quality tenants;• improving recoveries on properties;• securing strategic capex investment for better long-term performance; and• ensuring effective cost management.

The selection of stabilised and quality rental assets is expected to support meaningful capital growth and regular income in the form of a monthly rental from the property portfolio. Efficient property management and the acquisition of new properties are also expected to help enhance performance of the Company’s portfolio over time.

Transcend’s portfolio is externally managed by IHS Asset Management, a wholly-owned subsidiary of IHS, and leverages off IHS’ extensive experience in the residential rental markets.

Transcend’s objective is to grow the portfolio with good quality properties that are well located in high growth, high demand areas. Supported by a robust product pipeline, the aim is to grow the Shareholder base to create more liquidity. Dividend growth for 2018 was projected at levels between 6% to 8%, however, at 30 June 2018 this dividend growth forecast was revised to flat growth for 2018 largely as a result of high vacancies at Acacia Place. Excluding Acacia Place, dividend growth for 2018 would be approximately 4% to 5%. These projections exclude the effect of the Proposed Transactions.

Transcend aims to grow the Existing Portfolio base of 13 (excluding Acacia Place) properties through further acquisitions of rental properties, create a broader shareholder/investor spread and implement a migration to the Main Board of the JSE post-implementation of the Proposed Transactions.

Total 21 528 565 20 325 42 418

1. Rob Wesselo received remuneration of R6.9 million in 2017 (2016: R7.5 million) from IHS for his services as Managing Director of IHS. Rob does not receive any additional remuneration for his services as CEO of Transcend and it is estimated that he spends roughly 25% of his time on Transcend, which would have equated to R1.7 million (2016: R1.9 million) of his total remuneration received from IHS.

2. Dave Lange received remuneration of R1.5 million in 2017 from IHS for his services as CFO of Transcend. During 2016 Dave received R1.3 million from IHS for his services as Portfolio Manager of IHS. However, it should be noted that Dave became the full-time CFO of Transcend from 1 October 2016, therefore a portion of the remuneration received in 2016 relates to his services to Transcend as CFO from that date. Dave resigned as Company CFO with effect from 8 March 2018. Myles Kritzinger was appointed as Company CFO with effect 9 March 2018.

3. Solly Mboweni received remuneration of R3.2 million in 2017 (2016: R3 million) from IHS for his services as Head of Housing Operations of IHS. Solly does not receive any additional remuneration for his services as COO of Transcend and it is estimated that he spends roughly 25% of his time on Transcend, which would have equated to R0.81 million (2016: R0.76 million) of his total remuneration received from IHS.

4. Cathal Conaty received remuneration of R7.2 million in 2017 (2016: R7.5 million) from IHS S.à.r.l for his services as director of IHS S.a.r.l. Cathal does not receive a fee for his services as a non-executive director of Transcend. It is estimated that he spends approximately 5% of his time on Transcend, which would have equated to R0.36 million (2016: R0.38 million) of his total remuneration received from IHS S.a.r.l.

5. Mike Falcone received remuneration of R23.0 million in 2017 (2016: R25.5 million) from MMA for his services as CEO of MMA. Mike does not receive a fee for his services as non-executive director of Transcend. It is estimated that he spends approximately 5% of his time on Transcend, which would have equated to R1.2 million (2016: R1.3 million) of his total remuneration received from MMA.

1.2 Save as specified in the tables above, the Directors of the Company did not receive any emoluments in the form of:

1.2.1 fees for services as a Director;

1.2.2 management, consulting, technical or other fees paid for such services rendered, directly or indirectly, including payments to management companies, a part of which is then paid to a director of the Company;

Page 47: Transcend Residential Property Fund Limited CIRCULAR TO ... · 2 Page Annexure 1 Company structure 43 Annexure 2 Information on the Directors, management, material third parties and

45

1.2.6 any other material benefits received;

1.2.7 contributions paid under any pension scheme; or

1.2.8 any commission gain or profit-sharing arrangements.

1.3 Rob Wesselo, Solly Mboweni and Myles Kritzinger are employees of IHS and are seconded to Transcend in terms of the Asset Management Agreement, available for inspection as referenced in paragraph 19. The remuneration and benefits paid to Rob Wesselo, Solly Mboweni and Myles Kritzinger for their services as Directors of Transcend will be borne by IHS and will form part of the fees payable by Transcend to the Asset Manager for asset management services provided and do not accrue to them in their personal capacity. Even though Myles  Kritzinger is seconded to Transcend by the Asset Manager, he is a full-time Director of Transcend. Cathal Conaty and Mike Falcone are representatives of IHS S.à r.l and MMA Capital Management, respectively, and are not paid Director’s fees.

1.4 No share options or any other right has been given to a Director of the Company in respect of providing a right to subscribe for Shares in the Company.

1.5 No Shares have been issued and allotted in terms of a share purchase or share option scheme for any of the employees.

1.6 Save as provided in paragraph 1.4 above, all of the Directors of Transcend will be remunerated by Transcend. The Directors did not receive any remuneration or benefit in any form from any subsidiary, joint venture or other third-party management or advisory company for their services as Directors of Transcend.

1.7 The Company has not paid any other fees or incurred any fees that are payable to a third party in lieu of Directors’ fees.

1.8 The remuneration received by any of the Directors will not be varied as a consequence of any transactions.

2.2 The borrowing powers have not been exceeded during the period from the date of incorporation of the Company to the Last Practical Date. There is no exchange control or other restrictions on the borrowing powers of the Company.

3. DIRECTORS’ INTERESTS

3.1 Directors of the Asset Manager interests in Transcend Shares

3.1.1 Save in relation to Rob Wesselo’s interest in Transcend set out in paragraph 3.1 above, none of the Directors of the Asset Manager are directly or indirectly beneficially interested in Transcend Shares in issue as at the Last Practical Date.

3.1.2 Save in relation to Rob Wesselo’s interest in Transcend set out in paragraph 3.1 above, it is anticipated that none of the Directors of the Asset Manager will be directly or indirectly beneficially interested in Transcend Shares in issue post the Private Placement.

3.2 Retirement of Directors

The Board undertakes the role of a Nominations Committee and the selection, appointment and approval of new Directors is therefore undertaken by the Board as a whole, in a formal and transparent manner, free from any dominance of any one particular Shareholder.

Page 48: Transcend Residential Property Fund Limited CIRCULAR TO ... · 2 Page Annexure 1 Company structure 43 Annexure 2 Information on the Directors, management, material third parties and

46

Any new appointees are required to possess the necessary skills to contribute meaningfully to Board deliberations and to enhance Board composition in accordance with recommendations, legislation, regulations and best practice. The Company Secretary assists the Board and ensures that the procedure for the appointment of Directors is properly carried out. No Director is appointed for life or for an indefinite period. Any Director appointed during the year is required to have the appointment confirmed by Shareholders at the next annual general meeting.

At each annual general meeting, one-third of the Directors, or if their number is not three or a multiple of three, the number nearest to one-third, but not less than one-third, retires from office, provided also that at least one-third of the non-executive directors, or if their number is not three or a multiple of three, the nearest to one-third, but not less than one-third, will retire from office.

The appointment of executive Directors shall be terminable by way of a Board resolution.

3.3 Board committees

The Board committees are set out in the TPF Annual Report, as detailed in paragraph 18 of these Revised Listings Particulars.

4. DIRECTORS’ DECLARATIONS

4.1 None of the Directors have been involved in:

4.1.1 any bankruptcies, insolvencies or individual voluntary compromise arrangements of such person;

4.1.7 a removal from an office of trust, on the grounds of misconduct and involving dishonesty; and

INDEPENDENT PROPERTY VALUER’S SUMMARY VALUATION REPORT ON THE PROPERTY PORTFOLIO

“2 October 2018The DirectorsTranscend Residential Property Fund Limited54 Peter Place, Peter Place Office ParkFirst Floor, Block C, Cardiff HouseBryanston2191

Dear Sirs

RE: INDEPENDENT PROPERTY VALUERS’ REPORT OF THE PROPERTY PORTFOLIO FOR TRANSCEND RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY FUND LIMITED (“TRANSCEND”) AS DETAILED IN THE SUMMARY SCHEDULE ATTACHED AND FOR WHICH THERE ARE DETAILED VALUATION REPORTS HELD BY TRANSCEND

In accordance with your instruction of 12 July 2018, I confirm that we have visited and inspected the seven properties listed in the attached schedule (“the properties”) during July and August 2018 (Section 13.23 (a) (iii)) and have received all necessary details required to perform a valuation in order to provide you with my opinion of the properties’ market values as at 1 October 2018 (Section 13.23 (c))

1. INTRODUCTION

The valuation of the properties has been carried out by the valuer who has carefully considered all aspects of all the properties. These properties each have a detailed valuation report which has been given to the management of Transcend. The detailed reports include commentary on the current economy, nature of the properties, locality, tenancy, risk profile, forward rent and earning capability and exposure to future expenses and property risk. All these aspects have been considered in the individual valuation reports of the properties. The detailed reports have further addressed the tenancy income capability and expenditure for each property and tenant. Historic expenditure profile as well as future expenditure increases have been considered. The value thus indicates the fair market value for each property which is detailed in the detailed report and which has been summarised on a summary schedule, attached hereto, for each property. There are seven properties and the important aspects of the detailed valuation report including the market value for all of the properties have been summarised in the attached schedule.

2. BASIS OF VALUATION

The valuation is based on market value.

Market value means the best price, at which the sale of an interest in a property may reasonably be expected to have been completed, unconditionally for a cash consideration on the date of valuation, assuming:

2.1 a willing seller and a willing buyer in a market;

2.2 that, prior to the date of valuation, there had been a reasonable period (having regard to the nature of the property and the state of the market) for the proper marketing of the property, for the agreement of price and terms and for the completion of the sale; and

2.3 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.

3. VALUE CALCULATION

The calculation of the market value of these properties has 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. (Section 13.23 (d)).

Page 53: Transcend Residential Property Fund Limited CIRCULAR TO ... · 2 Page Annexure 1 Company structure 43 Annexure 2 Information on the Directors, management, material third parties and

51

Properties traded in the current market reflect a yield rate relationship between revenue and capital value. This rate is an accurate determinant of the capitalisation rate.

The considerations for the capitalised valuations are as follows:

3.1 calculating the forward cash flow of all contractual and other income from the properties;

3.2 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 property may be exposed;

3.3 the area vacancy as at 1 June 2018 as a percentage of the property portfolio was approximately 6.96%. In order to apply a conservative approach, we have deducted approximately between 4% and 10% of the gross income as a provision for rental that may not be collected as a consequence of vacancy, tenant failure or tenant refitting during the course of the coming year. The current vacancies are market related. The void provisions used in the valuations are therefore adequate. (Section 13.23 (f) (i));

3.4 there is no loss of rental due to renovations or refurbishments currently being carried out on the buildings. There is, however, ongoing external and internal maintenance work and repairs currently in progress. There is currently no loss of rental as a result of these activities. Potential future loss of rental due to refurbishments carried out for new tenants has been taken into account in the valuation report. (Section 13.23 (f) (ii));

3.5 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 and/or per unit. The rental rates have also been checked against various published indices including the Rode Report. There are no properties that are over- rented, or that cannot be re-rented at the same or higher rental rate should such property become vacant. There is therefore minimal potential for rental flow reversion. There is, however, a positive upside potential for real growth in rental, given the low base off which the average rentals flow. 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. (Section 13.23 (f) (iii));

3.6 capitalising the net contractual income derived from the properties for a period of one year in advance, calculated from 1 October 2018;

3.7 the valuation has 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; and

3.8 various provisions for capital contingencies were deducted from the capitalised value.

4. SPARE LAND

Erf 3031 Naturena Extension 16 forms part of the Southgate Ridge Property. The erf is freestanding and separated from the main complex. It is zoned “Residential 3” with a bulk of 869m² and has been valued at R1 200 000 as at the 1st of October 2018.

52

The properties have been well constructed, generally have acceptable architectural merit, aesthetic appeal, sufficient parking facilities and are virtually fully tenanted. The leases tend to be of a general short-term contractual rental nature with provision for the recovery of utility services consumed by the lessees. Escalations are market-related, but are high enough to ensure a more than positive growth rate is ensured without creating an over rent potential in the medium term. The properties are generally highly visible and dominate their environment.

In respect of the properties, the current net annual rental and the estimated future net annual rentals at specified dates and for specified periods are included in each individual detailed property valuation report.

6. 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 recordals whereby the lease may be disputed or rendered invalid.

We have, to the best of our knowledge, considered all of these aspects in the valuation of all the properties. There are no properties that are prejudiced in value by the influence of the above factors.

The valuer is, however, not responsible for the competent daily management of these 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.

7. OPTIONS OR BENEFIT/DETRIMENT OF CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENTS

To my knowledge there are no 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 properties. (Section 13.23 (g)).

To the best of my knowledge, there are no options in favour of any parties for any purchase of any of the properties. (Section 13.23 (h)).

8. INTRA-GROUP OR RELATED PARTY LEASES (SECTION 13.23 (A) (XI))

Having inspected all the tenant schedules it is noted that there are no intra-group or related party leases.

9. CURRENT STATE OF DEVELOPMENT

Currently no properties are under construction. (Section 13.24 and 13.25).

10. RENTALS USED IN VALUATIONS

Note that all these properties are generally rented out. The current annual rental and future annual rentals have been determined based on actual achieved rentals with adjustments to market where needed. It is noted that there are no material rental reversions and that the rentals for all the properties increase on average by approximately 5% compounded per annum. The weighted average escalation for rentals on properties in the portfolio is from 4.0% to 7.0%.

11. EXTERNAL PROPERTY

None of the properties are situated outside the Republic of South Africa. (Section 13.28).

12. OTHER GENERAL MATTERS AND VALUATION SUMMARY (SECTIONS 13.30 AND 13.31)

A full valuation report is available on a property by property basis detailing tenancy, town planning, valuer’s commentary, expenditure and other details. This has been given to the directors of Transcend.

13. ALTERNATIVE USE FOR A PROPERTY (13.27)

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.

53

14. OTHER COMMENTS

Our valuation excludes any amounts of Value-added Tax, transfer duty, or securities transfer duty.

15. CAVEATS

15.1 Source of information and verification (Section 13.23 (a) (xiii))

Information on the properties regarding rental income, recoveries and other income detail has been provided to us by the current owners and their managing agents.

We have further compared certain expenditures given to us, 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 performance of the properties in order to assess potential expenditure going forward. The municipal values on the properties are very low. At the current transaction values there is some potential for the municipal value to increase by a considerable amount, should the municipality revalue these properties, in which event the rates could increase to three or four times their current amount.

15.2 Full disclosure

This valuation has been prepared on the basis that full disclosures of all information and factors that may affect the valuation have been made to me.

We have to the best of our ability researched the market as well as taken the steps detailed in paragraph 15.3 below.

15.3 Leases (Section 13.23 (a) (ix))

Our valuation has been based on a review of actual tenants’ leases (which includes material terms such as repairing obligations, escalations, break options) and other pertinent details supplied to us by the managing agents and by Transcend. All recovery details in respect of the existing leases e.g. utility cost and other recoveries as provided for in the leases have been disclosed by way of the monthly tenant invoices and lease summary schedules supplied to us. Option terms and other lease information have been supplied to us by the owners and managing agents and we are familiar with such documents. We inspected approximately 50% of the standardised lease agreements applicable to the portfolio. The lease agreements are predominately for an initial period of 12 months after which the lease agreements convert to month-to-month lease agreements that continue until such time as the rental agreement is terminated on notice by the tenant or Transcend.

15.4 Lessee’s credibility

In arriving at our valuation, cognisance has been taken of the lessee’s security and rating. In some cases this has influenced the capitalisation rate by way of a risk consideration.

15.5 Mortgage bonds, loans, etc.

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 valuation is 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.

15.6 Calculation of areas

All areas quoted within the detailed valuation reports are 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. Updated plans were not available for all the properties in respect of internal configuration. The properties generally appear to have the stated square meterage which could only be more accurately determined if remeasured by a professional. The reported square meterage is therefore considered as correct as possible without full a remeasurement exercise being undertaken.

54

15.7 Structural condition

The properties have been valued in their existing state. We have not carried out any structural surveys, nor inspected those areas that are unexposed or inaccessible, neither have we arranged for the testing of any electrical or other services.

15.8 Contamination

The valuation assumes that a formal environmental assessment is not required and further that none of the properties are environmentally impaired or contaminated, unless otherwise stated in our report.

15.9 Town planning (Section 13.23 (a) (vi) and (vii))

Full town planning details and title deeds have been supplied in the detailed valuation reports including conditions and restrictions and the properties have 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 any of the properties other than that mentioned in the valuation reports.

The valuation has 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 for these properties. There might have been an infringement of the zoning restrictions on the Ekhaya Jabulani property. We have highlighted the potential conflict to the client who has provided copies of subsequently municipal approved building plans of the as-built structures. For the purpose of the valuation we have thus assumed that the structures are compliant. We are of the opinion that there is no negative impact on value as a result of this potential zoning infringement.

16. MARKET VALUE

I am of the opinion that the aggregate market value of the properties as at 1 October 2018 is R1 397 400 000 (excluding VAT). A summary of the individual valuations and details of each of the properties are attached.

To the best of our knowledge and belief there have been no material changes in circumstances between the date of the valuation and the date of the valuation report which would materially affect the valuation.

I have more than 25 years’ experience in the valuation of all nature of property and I am qualified to express an opinion on the fair market value of the properties.

I trust that I have carried out all instructions to your satisfaction and thank you for the opportunity of undertaking this valuation on your behalf.

Yours faithfully,

for Real Insight (Pty) Ltd

Dear Sirs

RE: INDEPENDENT PROPERTY VALUERS’ REPORT OF THE PROTEA GLEN PROPERTY FOR TRANSCEND RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY FUND LIMITED (“TRANSCEND”) AS DETAILED IN THE SUMMARY SCHEDULE ATTACHED AND FOR WHICH THERE IS A DETAILED VALUATION REPORT HELD BY TRANSCEND

In accordance with your instruction on 29 June 2018, I confirm that we have visited and inspected the property known as Protea Glen consisting of SS Protea Park No 188/2009 and SS Protea Park 2 No 20/2010 listed in the attached schedule during October 2018 (Section 13.23 (a) (iii)) and have received all necessary details required to perform a valuation in order to provide you with my opinion of the property’s market value as at 1 August 2018 (Section 13.23 (c)).

1. INTRODUCTION

The valuation of the property has been carried out by the valuer who has carefully considered all aspects of the property. This property has a detailed valuation report which has been given to the management of Transcend. The detailed report include commentary on the current economy, nature of the property, locality, tenancy, risk profile, forward rent and earning capability and exposure to future expenses and property risk. All these aspects have been considered in the valuation report of the property. The detailed report has further addressed the tenancy income capability and expenditure for each property and tenant. Historic expenditure profile as well as future expenditure increases have been considered. The value thus indicates the fair market value for each property which is detailed in the detailed report and which has been summarised on a summary schedule, attached hereto, for each property. There is one property and the important aspects of the detailed valuation report including the market value for the property have been summarised in the attached schedule.

2. BASIS OF VALUATION

The valuation is based on market value.

Market value means the best price, at which the sale of an interest in a property may reasonably be expected to have been completed, unconditionally for a cash consideration on the date of valuation, assuming:

2.1 a willing seller and a willing buyer in a market;

2.2 that, prior to the date of valuation, there had been a reasonable period (having regard to the nature of the property and the state of the market) for the proper marketing of the property, for the agreement of price and terms and for the completion of the sale; and

2.3 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.

3. VALUE CALCULATION

The calculation of the market value of this property has 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. (Section 13.23 (d)).

Properties traded in the current market reflect a yield rate relationship between revenue and capital value. This rate is an accurate determinant of the capitalisation rate.

The considerations for the capitalised valuations are as follows:

3.1 calculating the forward cash flow of all contractual and other income from the property;

3.2 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 property may be exposed;

Page 59: Transcend Residential Property Fund Limited CIRCULAR TO ... · 2 Page Annexure 1 Company structure 43 Annexure 2 Information on the Directors, management, material third parties and

57

3.3 the area vacancy as at 1 May 2018 as a percentage of the property portfolio was approximately 14%. In order to apply a conservative approach, we have deducted 7.5% of the gross residential income and 40% of the gross parking income as a provision for rental that may not be collected as a consequence of vacancy, tenant failure or tenant refitting during the course of the coming year. The current vacancy is abnormal as Goldfields, who previously occupied 54 units, has reduced their number of units to 37 units. The void provisions used in the valuations are therefore a normalised vacancy. (Section 13.23 (f) (i));

3.4 there is no loss of rental due to renovations or refurbishments currently being carried out on the buildings. There is, however, ongoing external and internal maintenance work and repairs currently in progress. There is currently no loss of rental as a result of these activities. Potential future loss of rental due to refurbishments carried out for new tenants has been taken into account in the valuation report. (Section 13.23 (f) (ii));

3.5 the majority of the rentals are market-related. Only those units being rented by Goldfields are over let and will in most likelihood revert downwards to market once the lease expires. We have allowed for a market-related rental for all the Goldfield units in our valuation calculation. The market rentals have been determined by comparing similar buildings in comparable areas to the property valued, in terms of rental per square metre and/or per unit. The rental rates have also been checked against various published indices including the Rode Report. 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 and that there are no major economic fluctuations which may upset the economy. (Section 13.23 (f) (iii));

3.6 capitalising the net contractual income derived from the property for a period of one year in advance, calculated from 1 August 2018;

3.7 the valuation has 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 the property is over-rented or have excessive expenditure; and

3.8 various provisions for capital contingencies were deducted from the capitalised value.

4. SPARE LAND

As far as could be established, there are no large tracts of vacant zoned and serviced spare land.

5. BRIEF DESCRIPTION

The properties comprise of residential complexes. Please refer to the summary of properties below:

Building Name AddressNumber of Units Property Description

Protea GlenSited on Kganwe Street, Protea Glen, Soweto, Gauteng Province 176 Sectional Title Residential Complex

Total  176

The property is well constructed, generally have acceptable architectural merit, aesthetic appeal, sufficient parking facilities. The leases tend to be of a general short-term contractual rental nature with provision for the recovery of utility services consumed by the lessees. Escalations are market-relate,d but are high enough to ensure a more than positive growth rate is ensured without creating an over rent potential in the medium term. The property is generally highly visible and dominate its environment.

In respect of the property, the current net annual rental and the estimated future net annual rentals at specified dates and for specified periods are included in the detailed property valuation report.

6. 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 recordals whereby the lease may be disputed or rendered invalid.

Page 60: Transcend Residential Property Fund Limited CIRCULAR TO ... · 2 Page Annexure 1 Company structure 43 Annexure 2 Information on the Directors, management, material third parties and

58

We have, to the best of our knowledge, considered all of these aspects in the valuation of the property. It does have a large exposure to Goldfields who currently occupies 37 units or 21% of the property. Their rent is above market and will have a large impact if they do not renew their lease. A provision was made by allowing for a market-related rental for all Goldfields units and for a vacancy of 7.5% of the gross residential income and 40% of the gross parking income.

The valuer is, however, not responsible for the competent daily management of this property 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.

7. OPTIONS OR BENEFIT/DETRIMENT OF CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENTS

To my knowledge there are no contractual arrangements on the property 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. (Section 13.23 (g)).

To the best of my knowledge, there are no options in favour of any parties for the purchase of the property. (Section 13.23 (h)).

8. INTRA-GROUP OR RELATED PARTY LEASES (SECTION 13.23 (A) (XI))

Having inspected all the tenant schedules it is noted that there are no intra-group or related party leases.

9. CURRENT STATE OF DEVELOPMENT

The property is not currently under construction. (Section 13.24 and 13.25).

10. RENTALS USED IN VALUATIONS

Note that the property is generally rented out. The current annual rental and future annual rentals have been determined based on actual achieved rentals with adjustments to market where needed. It is noted that there are no material rental reversions and that the rentals for the property increase on average by approximately 3% compounded per annum.

11. EXTERNAL PROPERTY

The property are not situated outside the Republic of South Africa. (Section 13.28).

12. OTHER GENERAL MATTERS AND VALUATION SUMMARY (SECTIONS 13.30 AND 13.31)

A full valuation report is available on a property detailing tenancy, town planning, valuer’s commentary, expenditure and other details. This has been given to the directors of Transcend.

13. ALTERNATIVE USE FOR A PROPERTY (13.27)

The property has been valued in accordance with their existing use which represents their market value. No alternative use for the property has been considered in determining its value.

14. OTHER COMMENTS

Our valuation excludes any amounts of Value-added Tax, transfer duty, or securities transfer duty.

15. CAVEATS

15.1 Source of information and verification (Section 13.23 (a) (xiii))

Information on the property regarding rental income, recoveries and other income detail has been provided to us by the current owners and their managing agents.

We have further compared certain expenditures given to us, to the market norms of similar properties. This has also been compared to historic expenditure levels of the property itself. Historical contractual expenditures and municipal utility services were compared to the past performance of the property in order to assess potential expenditure going forward. The municipal values on the sectional title units are considered to be high. At current transaction values, there is potential for the municipal value to be objected against and reduced. Should the municipality re-value these sectional title units, the rates could potentially decrease.

15.2 Full disclosure

This valuation has been prepared on the basis that full disclosures of all information and factors that may affect the valuation have been made to me.

We have to the best of our ability researched the market as well as taken the steps detailed in paragraph 15.3 below.

15.3 Leases (Section 13.23 (a) (ix))

16. MARKET VALUE

I am of the opinion that the market value of the property as at 1 August 2018 is R61 290 000 (excluding VAT). A summary is attached.

I have more than 25 years’ experience in the valuation of all nature of property and I am qualified to express an opinion on the fair market value of the properties.

I trust that I have carried out all instructions to your satisfaction and thank you for the opportunity of undertaking this valuation on your behalf.

Annexure 6

FORECAST STATEMENTS OF PROFIT OR LOSS AND OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME OF THE IHS RES 1 PROPERTIES AND PROTEA GLEN AND THE COMBINED IHS RES 1 PROPERTIES AND PROTEA GLEN

Set out below are the separate forecast statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the IHS Res 1 Properties (“IHS Res 1 Properties Forecasts”) and Protea Glen (“Protea Glen Forecasts”) (collectively “Forecasts”) on stand-alone basis’ for the one-month ending 31 December 2018 and the 12 months ending 31 December 2019 (collectively the “Forecast Periods”).

The Forecasts have been prepared in terms of the following over riding assumptions:1. The conditions precedent specified in the Sale Agreements will have been met by the Effective Date, being 1 December

2018, and therefore, the risks and rewards of ownership will have transferred to Transcend by this date. As a result, Transcend will be able to recognise 100% of the income and expenditure from the IHS Res 1 Properties and Protea Glen, including all IHS Res 1 and Protea Glen Units, to be transferred from the Effective Date.

2. The 82 449 464 Subscription Shares will rank for dividends with effect from 1 December 2018.3. An amount of R518 607 129 is raised through the issue of the 82 449 464 Subscription Shares at the issue price.

The Forecasts, including the assumptions on which they are based and the financial information from which they are prepared, are the responsibility of the Directors. The IHS Res 1 Properties Forecasts, Protea Glen Forecasts and collectively the Forecasts must be read in conjunction with the Independent Reporting Accountant’s report thereon which is attached as Annexure 7.

The IHS Res 1 Properties Forecasts, Protea Glen Forecasts and collectively the Forecasts have been prepared on the following basis:• in accordance with Transcend’s accounting policies which are compliant with IFRS;• in relation to each of the IHS Res 1 Properties and Protea Glen and collectively the IHS Res 1 Properties and the Protea

Glen only;• all of the properties in the IHS Res 1 Properties and Protea Glen are revenue generating and are held as investment

properties; and• the gross rental income, net of a 7.5% vacancy provision, in respect of Protea Glen is underwritten in terms of the Protea

Glen Sale Agreement.

The IHS Res 1 Properties Forecasts, Protea Glen Forecasts and collectively the Forecasts have been prepared in accordance with paragraph 21.3(f) of the Listings Requirements. An inspection of 70% of the contracted lease agreements has not been undertaken by the Independent Reporting Accountant in respect of the IHS Res 1 Properties Forecasts as the leases are all generic in nature and are short-term as detailed in points 1 and 2 below. The audit work has focused on analyses of the historical financial information of the IHS Res 1 Properties. The Report of Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information of the IHS Res 1 Properties is set out in Annexure 16 to this Circular and the Report of Special Purpose Carve-Out Interim Historical Financial Information of the IHS Res 1 Properties is set out in Annexure 14. The net rental income in respect of Protea Glen is 100% underwritten in terms of the Protea Glen Sale Agreement for the period 1 December 2018 to 30 November 2019 and, therefore, no inspection of the contracted lease agreements is required for this period. Recoveries for the full Forecast Periods and rental income for the one month from 1 to 31 December 2018 is not guaranteed in terms of the Protea Glen Sales Agreement but, as this rental income contributes less than 1% of the total forecast revenue per the combined forecast for the 12 months ended 31 December 2019, it is considered to be immaterial and no inspection of Protea Glen Leases has been performed.

Basis of preparation – IHS Res 1 Properties Forecasts

The IHS Res 1 Properties Forecasts have been prepared utilising the following financial and other information:• the IHS Res 1 Sale Agreements;• Rent rolls in respect of each of the IHS Res 1 Properties as at 30 September 2018;• Existing IHS Res 1 Leases in respect of 5% of the total IHS Res 1 Leases for each of the IHS Res 1 Properties;• MDA tenant retention and letting activity report as at 30 September 2018;• Historical vacancies and bad debt history for each of the IHS Res 1 Properties;

Page 67: Transcend Residential Property Fund Limited CIRCULAR TO ... · 2 Page Annexure 1 Company structure 43 Annexure 2 Information on the Directors, management, material third parties and

65

• Historical vacancy allowance for each of the IHS Res 1 Properties;• The individual trial balances for each of the IHS Res 1 Properties for the six months ended 30 June 2018 and the

12 months ended 31 December 2017, 2016 and 2015;• Quotations and historical costs in respect of allocated expenses such as audit fees and directors’ costs; and• The Directors’ knowledge and experience in the residential property industry.

The IHS Res 1 Properties rental revenue is short-term in nature and consists of the following categories of rental revenue:

1. Tenants with 12-month IHS Res 1 Leases which constitute 21% and 4% of the total rental income for the IHS Res 1 Properties for the one month ended 31 December 2018 and the 12 months ended 31 December 2019:

1.1 Contracted rental revenue which means rental income that relates to:

1.1.1 Rental income for a maximum period of 12 months which constitutes the length of the legally binding 12 month IHS Res 1 Leases. Once the 12 month IHS Res 1 Leases expire, they revert to month-to-month rental arrangements that continue until such time as the rental agreements are terminated either on 21 business days’ notice by the tenant or by Transcend;

1.1.2 Rental income that is derived in terms of the month-to-month rental arrangements that exist subsequent to the expiry of the initial 12 month period of the IHS Res 1 Leases and up until the end of the average tenancy period of 15 months (i.e. 3 months from the start date of the 12-month IHS Res 1 Leases); and

1.2 Un-contracted rental income constitutes forecast rental revenue that will be derived from new rental agreements with new tenants during the Forecast Periods. The assumptions on which the un-contracted rental income has been based are set out below.

2. Tenants with month-to-month lease agreements which constitute 49% and 25% of the total rental income for the IHS Res 1 Properties for the one month ended 31 December 2018 and the 12 months ended 31 December 2019:

2.1 Contracted rental revenue means rental revenue that is short-term in nature and relates to:

2.1.1 the initial period during which all tenants are covered by legally binding IHS Res 1 Leases due to the notice period obligation being 21 business days (“Initial Period”);

2.1.2 In the period subsequent to the Initial Period, which income is subject to an automatic renewal (unless express termination notice has been given by Transcend or the lessee), but which is not guaranteed due to the tenants and/or Transcend’s ability to terminate the IHS Res 1 Leases with a 21 business day notice period, and comprises of the period from the expiry of the contracted rental revenue during the Initial Period until the end of the average tenancy period of 15 months (i.e. 15 months from the start date of the month-to-month agreement) for IHS Res 1 Properties (“Renewal Period”);

2.2 Un-contracted rental revenue constitutes forecast rental revenue that will be derived from new rental agreements with new tenants during the Forecast Periods.

3. No rental revenue is categorised as near contracted rental revenue.

Basis of preparation – Protea Glen Forecasts

The Protea Glen Forecast has been prepared utilising the following financial and other information:

For the period from 1 December 2018 to 30 November 2019:• The Protea Glen Sale Agreement;• The individual trial balances for Protea Glen for the six months ended 30 June 2018 and the 12 months ended

31 December 2017, 2016 and 2015 (for purposes of expenses and recoveries);• Quotations and historical costs in respect of allocated expenses such as audit fees and Directors’ costs.

4. The net rental revenue in respect of Protea Glen is underwritten by a 100% rental guarantee from the Effective Date for a period of 12 months (i.e. 1 December 2018 to 30 November 2019). This guarantee effectively underwrites the gross rental income net of a vacancy provision of 7.5%. As a consequence, the net rental revenue in respect of Protea Glen for this period is all contracted rental revenue.

5. Recoveries do not form part of the rental guarantee and have been classified in line with the underlying Protea Glen Lease agreement. Rental income relating to Protea Glen that is derived in terms of the month-to-month rental arrangements that exist subsequent to the Initial Period and up until the end of the average tenancy period of 27 months (i.e. 27 months from the start date of the month-to-month agreement) is classified as contracted rental revenue and, therefore, the recoveries for this period are also classified as contracted rental revenue.

Assumptions that are under the control of the Directors

Twelve-month lease agreements – contracted revenue

1. Contracted rental revenue has been determined for each Property based on the starting dates of each existing 12 month IHS Res 1 Leases;

2. Twelve-month IHS Res 1 Leases in respect of 5% of the forecast contracted rental revenue for each of the Forecast Periods ending 31 December 2018 and 31 December 2019, respectively, were inspected by KPMG as part of their procedures relating to the forecast financial procedures; and

3. Based on the average historical occupancy profile for the IHS Res 1 Properties of 15 months, the forecast includes rental revenue for an additional period of three months subsequent to the expiry of the 12 month IHS Res 1 Leases in the category of contracted rental revenue;

Month-to-month lease agreements – contracted revenue

1. The Initial Period contracted rental revenue includes the first 21 business day period of rental revenue from all month-to-month IHS Res 1 Leases in existence on 1 December 2018;

2. Month-to-month IHS Res 1 Leases in respect of 5% of the forecast contracted rental revenue for each of the Forecast Periods ending 31 December 2018 and 31 December 2019, respectively, were inspected by KPMG as part of their procedures relating to the forecast financial procedures;

3. The rental revenue has been determined for the IHS Res 1 Properties based on the existing month-to-month IHS Res 1 Leases and the average historical occupancy profile of 15 months; and

Page 70: Transcend Residential Property Fund Limited CIRCULAR TO ... · 2 Page Annexure 1 Company structure 43 Annexure 2 Information on the Directors, management, material third parties and

68

4. The Renewal Period rental revenue subsequent to the rental guarantee period has been determined for Protea Glen in respect of the one-month period from 1 to 31 December 2019 based on the existing month-to-month Protea Glen Leases and the average historical occupancy profile of 29 months. In addition, the recoveries relating to Protea Glen have been determined for the full Forecast Periods based on the revenue categorisation of the related Protea Glen Lease agreement and an average historical vacancy profile of 27 months.

Guaranteed revenue – contracted revenue

1. The net rental revenue in respect of Protea Glen is underwritten by a 100% rental guarantee from the Effective Date for a period of 12 months (i.e. 1 December 2018 to 30 November 2019). This guarantee effectively underwrites the gross rental income net of a vacancy provision of 7.5%.

Un-contracted revenue

1. Un-contracted rental revenue has been calculated as the total potential rental revenue that could be generated if all the IHS Res 1 Units were tenanted less a vacancy allowance less contracted revenue. The vacancy allowance has been calculated on a property-by-property basis taking into account the experience of the executive management team and available historical data for each of the IHS Res 1 Properties. The average vacancy allowance for the IHS Res 1 Properties, excluding Midrand Village and De Velde, is 5%. The average vacancy for Midrand Village and De Velde is 8%;

2. The vacancy allowance takes into account the anticipated void period prior to a unit being re-tenanted and a bad debts provision for the IHS Res 1 Properties; and

3. Uncontracted revenue in respect of recoveries and Protea Glen for the one-month ending 31 December 2019 has been determined based on points 1 and 2 above. The average vacancy for Protea Glen is 7.5%.

Escalations

1. The forecast average annual rental escalations for the IHS Res 1 Properties ranges from 0% to 4% for the six months ended 30 June 2018, 1% to 5% for the 12 months ending 31 December 2018 and 1% to 5% for the 12 months ending 31 December 2019.

Other income

1. Recoveries of operating costs are recognised as part of revenue and the related costs are recognised as part of property operating expenses.

Expenditure

1. A comparison of the forecast and historical expenditures on an annualised basis, incurred on an aggregated basis for the IHS Res 1 Properties and Protea Glen for the six months ended 30 June 2018 and the 12 months ended 31 December 2017, was conducted. No expenditure items are forecast to increase by 15% or more for the 12 months ended 31 December 2019.

Assumptions that are not under the control of the Directors

No unforeseen market and economic factors that will affect tenants’ ability to meet their commitments in terms of existing IHS Res 1 Properties and Protea Glen have been included in the IHS Res 1 Properties Forecast, Protea Glen Forecasts and collectively the Forecasts.

Bad debts will remain at the level experienced for the six-months ended 30 June 2018 and the 12 months ended 31 December 2017, being an average of 1.5% and 2% of total revenue, respectively.

No increase or decrease in the fair value of properties will occur during the Forecast Periods other than the fair value adjustments arising due to the purchase considerations for the IHS Res 1 properties and Protea Glen being at a discount to the fair values.

Finance costs are calculated using an effective interest rate of 9.1% (based on three facilities of a three-year facility of JIBAR plus 190 bps, five-year facility of JIBAR plus 225 bps and a facility of prime minus 1 percentage point) for the Forecast Periods or the purposes of the IHS Res 1 Properties Forecasts, Protea Glen Forecasts and collectively the Forecasts.

Our responsibility is to express a limited assurance conclusion on whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the assumptions do not provide a reasonable basis for the preparation and presentation of the Forecast Information in accordance with the Listings Requirements relating to Forecast Information, based on the procedures we have performed and the evidence we have obtained. We conducted our limited assurance engagement in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE 3400), The Examination of Prospective Financial Information (ISAE 3400), issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. That standard requires that we plan and perform this engagement to obtain limited assurance about whether the Directors’ assumptions provide a reasonable basis for the preparation and presentation of the Forecast Information.

A limited assurance engagement undertaken in accordance with ISAE 3400 involves assessing the source and reliability of the evidence supporting the Directors’ assumptions. Sufficient appropriate evidence supporting such assumptions would be obtained from internal and external sources including consideration of the assumptions in the light of historical information and an evaluation of whether they are based on plans that are within the entity’s capacity. A limited assurance engagement is substantially less in scope than a reasonable assurance engagement in relation to both the risk assessment procedures, including an understanding of internal control, and the procedures performed in response to the assessed risks.

The procedures we performed were based on our professional judgement and included inquiries, observations of processes performed, inspection of documents, analytical procedures, evaluating the reasonableness of best-estimate assumptions and agreeing or reconciling with underlying records.

Our procedures included evaluating the Directors’ best-estimate assumptions on which the Forecast Information is based for reasonableness.

The procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement are less in extent than for, and vary in nature from, a reasonable assurance engagement. As a result, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been obtained had we performed a reasonable assurance engagement. Accordingly, we do not express a reasonable assurance opinion about whether the Directors’ assumptions provide a reasonable basis for the preparation and presentation of the Forecast Information.

Limited assurance conclusion on the reasonableness of the Directors’ assumptions

Based on the procedures we have performed and evidence we have obtained, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Directors’ assumptions do not provide a reasonable basis for the preparation and presentation of the Forecast Information.

Part B – Reasonable assurance engagement on the Forecast Information

Reporting accountant’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion based on the evidence we have obtained about whether the Forecast Information is properly prepared and presented on the basis of the Directors’ assumptions disclosed in the assumptions to the Forecast Information presented in Annexure 6 (the “Assumptions”) and in accordance with the Listings Requirements relating to Forecast Information. We conducted our reasonable assurance engagement in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE 3400), The Examination of Prospective Financial Information (ISAE 3400), issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. That standard requires that we plan and perform this engagement to obtain reasonable assurance about whether such Forecast Information is properly prepared and presented on the basis of the Assumptions disclosed in the notes to the Forecast Information presented in Annexure 6 and in accordance with the Listings Requirements relating to Forecast Information.

A reasonable assurance engagement in accordance with ISAE 3400 involves performing procedures to obtain evidence that the Forecast Information is properly prepared and presented on the basis of the assumptions and in accordance with the Listings Requirements relating to Forecast Information. The nature, timing and extent of procedures selected depend on the reporting accountant’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, of the Forecast Information. In making those risk assessments, we considered internal control relevant to the Directors’ preparation and presentation of the Forecast Information.

71

Our procedures included:• Inspecting whether the Forecast Information is properly prepared on the basis of the assumptions;• Inspecting whether the Forecast Information is properly presented and all material assumptions are adequately disclosed,

including a clear indication as to whether they are best-estimate assumptions; and• Inspecting whether the forecast statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income is prepared on a consistent

basis with the historical financial statements, using appropriate accounting policies.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion on the Forecast Information

In our opinion, the Forecast Information, for the one-month ending 31 December 2018 and the 12 months ending 31 December 2019, is properly prepared and presented on the basis of the assumptions and in accordance with the Listings Requirements relating to Forecast Information.

Purpose of the report

This report has been prepared for the purpose of satisfying the requirements of paragraph 8.40 of the Listings Requirements and for no other purpose.

Annexure 8

PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION OF TRANSCEND

The pro forma statement of financial position of Transcend has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the acquisition of the IHS Res 1 Properties and Protea Glen (the “Acquisitions”) on Transcend.

The Acquisitions are assumed to have occurred on 30 June 2018 and are based on Transcend’s published interim financial information as at 30 June 2018. The Acquisitions have been treated as acquisitions of assets for accounting purposes and not as a business combination in terms of IFRS 3: Business Combinations.

In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations which are effective for years beginning on or after 1 January 2020. These amendments may be early adopted. Transcend has elected to early adopt these amendments as at 31 October 2018.

The definition of a business has been updated in this amendment. Per the amendment, in order to assess whether a transaction is the acquisition of a business, an entity first assesses whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired are concentrated in a single asset or group of similar assets. If the fair value is concentrated in this way then the transaction is not the acquisition of a business.

It is our understanding that substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired by Transcend in the acquisition of the rental enterprises are concentrated in the properties hence the transaction is not considered to be the acquisition of a business under IFRS 3.

The pro forma statement of financial position of Transcend has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and because of its nature may not fairly present Transcend’s financial position and changes in equity after the Acquisitions.

The pro forma statement of financial position of Transcend has been prepared using accounting policies that comply with IFRS and that are consistent with those applied in the published interim financial information of Transcend for the six months ended and as at 30 June 2018.

The pro forma statement of financial position of Transcend has been prepared in accordance with the Listings Requirements and the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants Guide on Pro forma Financial Information (revised and issued in September 2014) and are the responsibility of the Directors.

KPMG’s reporting accountant’s report on the pro forma statement of financial position of Transcend is set out in Annexure 9 to this Circular.

Notes and assumptions:

1. Column 1 presents the statement of financial position of Transcend, which has been extracted, without adjustment, for the published interim financial information of Transcend for the six months as at 30 June 2018.

2. Columns 2 and 3 presents the financial effects of the Acquisitions as if the Proposed Transactions had been effective on the effective date of 30 June 2018, as follows:2.1 Investment property has been adjusted to include the IHS Res 1 Properties and Protea Glen at the purchase considerations (cost prices) of

R1 209.9 million and R60 million respectively, plus the property transfer and bond registration costs amounting to R8.9 million which have been capitalised to investment property in terms of IAS 40: Investment Property read together with IAS 16: Property, Plant and Equipment;

2.2 Retained loss has been adjusted for R6.8 million of the transaction costs which have been expensed in terms of IAS 32: Financial Instruments: Presentation;

2.3 Stated capital has been adjusted for the 82 449 464 new Transcend Shares that will be issued at a price of R6.29 in settlement of 40% of the purchase considerations plus the transaction costs, property transfer and bond registration costs, amounting to R518.6 million ((purchase consideration for the IHS Res 1 Properties of R1 209.9 million plus transaction costs of R25.36 million) * 40% + (purchase consideration for Protea Glen of R60 million plus transaction costs of R1.26 million) * 40%)). Stated capital has been further adjusted for the R10.8 million of transaction costs which have been capitalised in terms of IAS 32: Financial Instruments: Presentation; and

Page 76: Transcend Residential Property Fund Limited CIRCULAR TO ... · 2 Page Annexure 1 Company structure 43 Annexure 2 Information on the Directors, management, material third parties and

74

2.4 Interest-bearing borrowings has been adjusted for the 60% of the purchase consideration plus the transaction costs, property transfer and bond registration costs, amounting to R777.9 million ((purchase consideration for IHS Res 1 Properties of R1 209.9 million plus transaction costs of R25.36 million) * 60% + (purchase consideration for Protea Glen of R60 million plus transaction costs of R1.26 million) *40%)) that will be settled through debt as detailed on page 16 of this Circular.

3. Column 4 presents the financial effects of the revaluation of the IHS Res 1 Properties and Protea Glen to fair value assuming that the Effective Date and the financial year-end were both 30 June 2018, as follows:3.1 The IHS Res 1 Properties and Protea Glen acquisitions have been treated as asset acquisitions in terms of the amendments to IFRS 3: Business

Combinations issued in October 2018 which Transcend has elected to early adopt. In terms of the amendments, if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired are concentrated in a single asset or group of similar assets, then the transaction is not the acquisition of a business. This is the case in respect of the Proposed Transactions and, therefore, the Acquisitions are not considered to be the Acquisitions of a business under IFRS 3.

3.2 Investment property and retained earnings have been adjusted to reflect investment property at fair value at year end, in terms of IAS 40 Investment Property. The fair value per the pro forma statement of financial information equals the fair values of investment property reflected in the Report of Interim Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information. The fair value of the IHS Res 1 Properties and Protea Glen amounts to R1 397.4 million and R61.29 million respectively, and takes into consideration the fair value per the Independent Property Valuers market valuations as set out in Annexure 4.

3.3 The IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement and IFRS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements information relating to the IHS Res 1 Properties is included in note 4 to the Interim Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information included as Annexure 14 to this Circular. Discount to valuation amount: Recently PSP made a decision to exit all investments it holds in the African market in the short-term. By taking this decision it would need to divest of its 95% interest in IHS Res 1 business which facilitated the sale of the IHS Res 1 Properties. These properties were placed on the market and Transcend made an offer of R1 209.9 million to IHS Res 1 in respect of the IHS Res 1 Properties. This is below the independent property valuation values of R1 397.4 million (an offer accepted by IHS Res 1 as the Purchase Consideration). The discount of price to valuation amount is a direct result of PSP seeking an immediate exit from its investments in Africa and represents a fair selling price between a willing buyer and willing seller.

4. The IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement and IFRS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements information relating to Protea Glen is set out as follows:

Protea GlenErven 8487 and 8488 Protea Glen Extension 11, Kganwe Street, Protea Glen, Soweto– Purchase price 60 000 000– Fair value adjustment 1 290 000– Capitalised expenditure –

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE COMPILATION OF THE PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION OF TRANSCEND

The definitions commencing on page 6 of the Circular apply mutatis mutandis to this report.

Introduction

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of the Pro forma statement of financial position of Transcend by the Directors of the Company (the “Directors”), which comprises the Pro forma net asset value and net tangible asset value per share of Transcend, the Pro forma statement of financial position of Transcend as at 30 June 2018 and the related notes and assumptions, including a reconciliation showing all of the Pro forma adjustments to the stated capital and retained earnings relating to Transcend, subsequent to the acquisitions of the IHS Res 1 Properties and Protea Glen (collectively “Pro forma SOFP”). The Pro forma net asset value and net tangible asset value per share of Transcend are set out in paragraph 4.2 of the Circular and the Pro forma SOFP is set out in Annexure 8 of the Circular. The Pro forma SOFP has been compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria specified in the paragraph entitled Directors’ Responsibility for the Pro Forma SOFP set out below.

The Pro forma SOFP has been compiled by the Directors to illustrate the impact of the acquisitions of the IHS Res 1 Properties and Protea Glen (the “Acquisitions”) on the Pro forma statement of financial position and the related notes, including a reconciliation showing all of the pro forma adjustments to the stated capital and retained earnings relating to Transcend.

As part of this process, Transcend’s net asset value and net tangible asset value per share and statement of financial position have been extracted by the Directors from Transcend’s published financial information for the six months ending and as at 30 June 2018 (the “Published Financial Information”).

Directors’ Responsibility for the Pro forma SOFP

The Directors are responsible for compiling the Pro forma SOPF on the basis of the applicable criteria as detailed in paragraph 13.16, read together with paragraphs 8.15 to 8.33, of the Listings Requirements and the SAICA Guide on Pro forma Financial Information, revised and issued in September 2014 (the “Applicable Criteria”), as applicable.

Independent Reporting Accountant’s Independence and Quality Control

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Professional Conduct for Registered Auditors issued by the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors (IRBA Code), which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour. The IRBA Code is consistent with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (Part A and B).

KPMG Inc. applies the International Standard on Quality Control 1, Quality Control for Firms that Perform Audits and Reviews of Financial Statements, and Other Assurance and Related Services Engagements and accordingly maintain a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Independent Reporting Accountant’s Responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express an opinion about whether the Pro forma SOFP has been compiled, in all material respects, by the Directors on the basis of the Applicable Criteria.

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, issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. This standard requires that the reporting accountant complies with ethical requirements and plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Directors have compiled, in all material respects, the Pro forma SOFP on the basis of the Applicable Criteria.

For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on the Published Financial Information used in compiling the Pro forma SOFP. We have performed a review of the Report of Interim Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information used in compiling the Pro forma SOFP. Our reporting accountant’s report on the Report of Interim Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information is included as Annexure 14 to this Circular.

The purpose of the Pro forma SOFP included in the Circular is solely to illustrate the impact of the Acquisitions on the unadjusted Published Financial Information as if the Acquisitions had been undertaken on 30 June 2018 for purposes of the pro forma net asset value and net tangible asset value per share and pro forma statement of financial position. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the Acquisitions, subsequent to its implementation, will be as presented in the Pro forma SOFP.

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the Pro forma SOFP has been properly compiled, in all material respects, on the basis of the Applicable Criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the Applicable Criteria used by the Directors in the compilation of the Pro forma SOFP provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the Acquisitions and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:

• The related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to the Applicable Criteria; and• The Pro forma SOPF reflects the proper application of those pro forma adjustments to the unadjusted Published Financial

Information.

The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountant’s judgment, having regard to the reporting accountant’s understanding of the nature of Transcend, the Acquisitions in respect of which the pro forma SOFP has been compiled and other relevant engagement circumstances.

The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the Pro forma SOFP.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Pro forma SOFP has been compiled, in all material respects, on the basis of the Applicable Criteria.

Annexure 10

REPORT OF THE PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF PROFIT OR LOSS AND OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME FOR TRANSCEND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

Introduction

The definitions commencing on page 6 of the Circular have been used throughout this Annexure 10.

As detailed in the Circular, Transcend holds the Existing Portfolio of 14 income generating residential properties located across South Africa and is listed as a REIT on the AltX. Transcend has recently entered into the IHS Res 1 Sale Agreements to acquire the 1 983 IHS Res 1 Units. The acquisition of the IHS Res 1 Properties constitutes a related party transaction and a reverse takeover in terms of the Listings Requirements.

The pro forma statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for Transcend (the “Pro forma SOCI”) for the six months ended 30 June 2018 has been prepared for illustrative purposes only to provide information about what Transcend would have looked like had the acquisition of the IHS Res 1 Properties taken place on 1 January 2018 and, because of its nature, it may not fairly present Transcend’s results of operations after the acquisition of the IHS Res 1 Properties. The Pro forma SOCI has been prepared in accordance with Transcend’s accounting policies as included in their published interim financial statements for the six ended 30 June 2018, which are compliant with IFRS.

The IHS Res 1 Properties comprises of 1 983 IHS Res 1 Units, each of which is transferred separately.

Given the volume of the IHS Res 1 Units to be transferred, it is anticipated that title to 100% of the IHS Res 1 Units will not be transferred into Transcend’s name on the Effective Date. The Directors do expect, however, that the conditions precedent specified in the IHS Res 1 Sale Agreements, including competition commission approval, will have been met by the Effective Date and, therefore, the risks and rewards of ownership will have transferred to Transcend by this date. Based  on  this understanding, Transcend expects to be able to recognise 100% of the rental revenue and 100% of the expenditure from each of the IHS Res 1 Units to be transferred from the Effective Date.

It has been assumed for purposes of the Pro forma SOCI that 78 553 907 Shares will be placed in terms of the Private Placement.

The Directors are responsible for the Pro forma SOCI.

The fair value of the IHS Res 1 investment property at 31 December 2017 amounted to R1 374.5 million.

b. The inclusion of a notional interest expense arising due to the refinancing of debt to an amount of R33.723 million. The notional interest has been calculated using an average interest rate of 9.1%, calculated as the three-month JIBAR plus 215bps, for a period of six months. This adjustment will have a continuing effect on the Pro forma SOCI; and

5. The “After” Column illustrates the aggregated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of Transcend after the adjustments detailed above.

The definitions commencing on page 6 of the Circular apply mutatis mutandis to this report.

Introduction

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of the pro forma statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for Transcend for the six months ended 30 June 2018 by the directors of the Company (the “Directors”). The pro forma statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for Transcend for the six months ended 30 June 2018 consists of the Pro forma earnings and diluted earnings, headline and diluted headline earnings of Transcend, the pro forma statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of Transcend and the related notes, subsequent to the acquisition of the IHS Res 1 Properties, detailed in Annexure 10 of the Circular (collectively the “Pro forma  SOCI”). The Pro forma SOCI has been compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria specified in the paragraph entitled Directors’ Responsibility for the Pro forma SOCI set out below.

The Pro forma SOCI has been compiled by the Directors to illustrate the impact of the acquisition of the IHS Res 1 Properties on the Pro forma SOCI and the related notes.

As part of this process, Transcend’s earnings, diluted earnings, headline earnings and diluted headline earnings and statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income have been extracted by the Directors from Transcend’s published interim financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2018, incorporated by reference in this Circular (the “Published Interim Financial Information”).

The Directors are responsible for compiling the Pro forma SOCI on the basis of the applicable criteria as detailed in paragraphs 8.15 to 8.33 of the Listings Requirements and the SAICA Guide on Pro forma Financial Information, revised and issued in September 2014 (the “Applicable Criteria”), as applicable.

Independent Reporting Accountant’s Independence and Quality Control

The IRBA Code is consistent with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (Part A and B).

Independent Reporting Accountant’s Responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express an opinion about whether the Pro forma SOCI has been compiled, in all material respects, by the Directors on the basis of the Applicable Criteria.

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, issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. This standard requires that the reporting accountants comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Directors have compiled, in all material respects, the Pro forma SOCI on the basis of the Applicable Criteria.

For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on the Published Interim Financial Information used in compiling the Pro forma SOCI. We have performed a review of the Interim Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Information used in compiling the Pro Forma SOCI. The Report of Interim Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Information is included as Annexure 14 to the Circular.

The purpose of the Pro forma SOCI included in the Circular is solely to illustrate the impact of the acquisition of the IHS Res 1 Properties on the unadjusted Published Interim Financial Information as if the acquisition of the IHS Res 1 Properties had been undertaken on 1 January 2018 for purposes of the pro forma earnings, diluted earnings, headline earnings and diluted headline earnings per share and the pro forma statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the acquisition of the IHS Res 1 Properties, subsequent to their implementation, will be as presented in the Pro forma SOCI.

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the Pro forma SOCI has been properly compiled, in all material respects, on the basis of the Applicable Criteria, involves performing procedures to assess whether the Applicable Criteria used by the Directors in the compilation of the Pro forma SOCI provides a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the acquisition of the IHS Res 1 Properties and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:

• The related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to the Applicable Criteria; and• The Pro forma SOCI reflects the proper application of those pro forma adjustments to the unadjusted Published Interim

Audited Financial Information.

The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountant’s judgment, having regard to the reporting accountant’s understanding of the nature of Transcend and the acquisition of the IHS Res 1 Properties in respect of which the Pro forma SOCI has been compiled and other relevant engagement circumstances.

The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the Pro forma SOCI.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Pro forma SOCI has been compiled, in all material respects, on the basis of the Applicable Criteria.

Annexure 12

REPORT OF THE PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF PROFIT OR LOSS AND OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME FOR TRANSCEND FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017

Introduction

The definitions commencing on page 6 of the Circular have been used throughout this Annexure 12.

As detailed in the Circular, Transcend holds the Existing Portfolio of fourteen income generating residential properties located across South Africa and is listed as a REIT on the AltX. Transcend has recently entered into the IHS Res 1 Sale Agreements to acquire the 1 983 IHS Res 1 Units. The acquisition of the IHS Res 1 Properties constitutes a related party transaction and a reverse takeover in terms of the Listings Requirements.

The pro forma statement of comprehensive income for Transcend (the “Pro forma SOCI”) for the year ended 31 December 2017 has been prepared for illustrative purposes only to provide information about what Transcend would have looked like had the acquisition of the IHS Res 1 Properties taken place on 1 January 2017 and, because of its nature, it may not fairly present Transcend’s results of operations after the acquisition of the IHS Res 1 Properties. The Pro forma SOCI has been prepared in accordance with Transcend’s accounting policies as included in their annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017, which are compliant with IFRS.

The IHS Res 1 Properties comprises of 1 983 HIS Res 1 Units, each of which is transferred separately.

Given the volume of the IHS Res 1 Units to be transferred, it is anticipated that title to 100% of the IHS Res 1 Units will not be transferred into Transcend’s name on the Effective Date. The Directors do expect, however, that the conditions precedent specified in the IHS Res 1 Sale Agreements, including Competition Commission approval, will have been met by the Effective Date and, therefore, the risks and rewards of ownership will have transferred to Transcend by this date. Based  on  this understanding, Transcend expects to be able to recognise 100% of the rental revenue and 100% of the expenditure from each of the IHS Res 1 Units to be transferred from the Effective Date.

It has been assumed for purposes of the Pro forma statement SOCI that 78 553 907 Shares will be placed in terms of the Private Placement.

The Directors are responsible for the Pro forma SOCI.

Introduction

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of the pro forma statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for Transcend for the year ended 31 December 2017 by the directors of the Company (the “Directors”). The pro forma statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for Transcend for the year ended 31 December 2017 consists of the pro forma earnings and diluted earnings, headline and diluted headline earnings of Transcend, the pro forma statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of Transcend and the related notes, subsequent to the acquisition of the IHS Res 1 Properties, detailed in Annexure 12 of the Circular (collectively “Pro forma SOCI”). The Pro forma SOCI has been compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria specified in the paragraph entitled Directors’ Responsibility for the Pro forma SOCI set out below.

The Pro forma SOCI has been compiled by the Directors to illustrate the impact of the acquisition of the IHS Res 1 Properties on the Pro forma SOCI and the related notes.

As part of this process, Transcend’s earnings, diluted earnings, headline earnings and diluted headline earnings and statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income have been extracted by the Directors from Transcend’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended and as at 31 December 2017, incorporated by reference in this Circular (the “Audited Financial Information”).

Directors’ Responsibility for the Pro forma SOCI

The Directors are responsible for compiling the Pro forma SOCI on the basis of the applicable criteria as detailed in paragraphs 8.15 to 8.33 of the Listings Requirements and the SAICA Guide on Pro forma Financial Information, revised and issued in September 2014 (the “Applicable Criteria”), as applicable.

Independent Reporting Accountant’s Independence and Quality Control

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Professional Conduct for Registered Auditors issued by the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors (IRBA Code), which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour. The IRBA Code is consistent with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (Part A and B).

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, issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. This standard requires that the reporting accountants comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Directors have compiled, in all material respects, the Pro forma SOCI on the basis of the Applicable Criteria.

For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on the Audited Financial Information used in compiling the Pro forma SOCI. We have performed a review of the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Information used in compiling the Pro Forma SOCI. Our reporting accountant’s report on the Report of Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Information is included as Annexure 16 to this Circular.

The purpose of the Pro forma SOCI included in the Circular is solely to illustrate the impact of the Proposed Transactions on the unadjusted Audited Financial Information as if the Proposed Transactions had been undertaken on 1 January 2017 for purposes of the pro forma earnings, diluted earnings, headline earnings and diluted headline earnings per share and the pro forma statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the Proposed Transactions, subsequent to their implementation, will be as presented in the Pro forma SOCI.

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the Pro forma SOCI has been properly compiled, in all material respects, on the basis of the Applicable Criteria, involves performing procedures to assess whether the Applicable Criteria used by the Directors in the compilation of the Pro forma SOCI provides a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the Proposed Transactions and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:

• The related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to the Applicable Criteria; and• The Pro forma SOCI reflects the proper application of those pro forma adjustments to the unadjusted Audited Financial

Information.

The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountant’s judgment, having regard to the reporting accountant’s understanding of the nature of Transcend, the Proposed Transactions in respect of which the Pro forma SOCI has been compiled and other relevant engagement circumstances.

The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the Pro forma SOCI.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Pro forma SOCI has been compiled, in all material respects, on the basis of the Applicable Criteria.

Annexure 14

REPORT OF INTERIM SPECIAL PURPOSE CARVE-OUT HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE IHS RES 1 PROPERTIES FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

The definitions commencing on page 8 of the Circular have been used throughout this Annexure 14.

As detailed in the Circular, Transcend has entered into the IHS Res 1 Sale Agreements in terms of which it will acquire each of the 1 983 IHS Res 1 Units, as divisible units, and the right of extension in terms of section 25 of the Sectional Titles Act, No 95 of 1986 (“Right of Extension”) (collectively, the “the IHS Res 1 Properties”) from the seller.

Basis of preparation

The statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the six months ended 30 June 2018, the statement of net assets as at 30 June 2018, the related accounting policies and the notes relating to the IHS Res 1 Properties (“Interim Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information”) have been prepared in accordance with Section 8.2(e) of the JSE Listings Requirements which requires, inter alia, that the Interim Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information be presented in respect of the subject of the Category 1 transaction, namely, the IHS Res 1 Properties.

Going forward, Transcend will pay interest in respect of the IHS Res 1 Properties in terms of the debt funding that it has put in place in respect of the acquisition of the IHS Res 1 Properties as detailed in paragraph 2.2 of the Circular.

The Interim Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information has been prepared, to the extent applicable, in accordance with the accounting policies of Transcend.

The Interim Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information has been prepared, to the extent applicable, in accordance with the accounting policies of Transcend.

KPMG Inc. is the reporting accountant to Transcend. KPMG Inc. conducted the review of the Interim Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and reported without qualification on the Interim Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information.

The Directors are responsible for the Interim Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information.

a) Purpose

These Special Purpose Carve-Out Financial Information is intended for the sole use of providing financial information to meet the requirements of Sections 8 and 13 of the JSE Limited’s (“JSE”) Listings Requirements. The financial information relates to the specific properties to be acquired by Transcend Residential Property Fund Limited (“Transcend”) in terms of the Proposed Transactions. The following properties are to be acquired by Transcend:

– Midrand Village

– De Velde

– Birchwood Village

– Southgate Ridge

– Urban Ridge (West)

– Urban Ridge (East)

– Urban Ridge (South)

b) Basis of measurement

The Special Purpose Interim Carve-Out Financial Information is prepared on the fair value basis for investment properties as set out in note 4.

c) Functional and presentation currency

The Special Purpose Interim Carve-Out Financial Information is presented in South African Rand (“Rand”), which is the IHS Res 1 Properties’ functional currency. All financial information presented in Rand has been rounded to the nearest Rand.

2.1 Investment property

Investment property consists of land and buildings held to earn rental income for the long term and subsequent capital appreciation.

Investment properties are initially recognised at cost on acquisition, including all costs directly attributable to the acquisition, and subsequent additions that will result in future economic benefits and whose cost can be measured reliably, are capitalised.

Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at their fair value. Fair value adjustments are recognised in profit or loss.

Investment properties are maintained, upgraded and refurbished, where necessary, in order to preserve or improve the capital values as far as it is possible to do so. Maintenance and repairs which neither materially add to the value of the properties nor prolong their useful lives, are charged against profit or loss.

In line with the Transcend valuation policy, valuations are performed annually for at least one-third of the properties. However, due to the size of the current portfolio, management’s practice for the past two financial years has been to appoint independent valuers to value the entire IHS Res 1 Properties.

Gains or losses on subsequent measurement or disposals of investment properties are recognised in profit or loss. Such gains or losses are excluded from the calculation of distributable earnings.

A gain or loss arising on disposal of investment properties is recognised in profit or loss, measured as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount.

2.2 Leases

A lease is an agreement whereby the lessor conveys to the lessee in return for a payment or series of payments the right to use an asset for an agreed period of time. Determining whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.

The IHS Res 1 Properties is party to numerous leasing contracts as the lessor of the properties. All leases are operating leases, which are those leases where the IHS Res 1 Properties retains a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership.

The IHS Res 1 Properties’ rental revenue is short-term in nature and consists of contracted rental revenue for a period of 12 months which constitutes the length of the IHS Res 1 Properties’ legally binding lease agreements. Once the lease agreements expire, they revert to month-to-month rental agreements that continue until such time as the rental agreements are terminated either on one month’s notice by the tenant or by the IHS Res 1 Properties.

In some instances, the IHS Res 1 Properties provides certain incentives for the lessee to enter into lease agreements. Initial periods of the lease term may be agreed to be rent-free or at a reduced rent. All incentives are recognised as an integral part of the net consideration agreed for the use of the leased asset, irrespective of the incentive’s nature or form or the timing of payments. The IHS Res 1 Properties recognises the aggregate cost of incentives as a reduction of rental income.

Leases of assets are classified as finance leases when the leases transfer substantially all risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the assets to the IHS Res 1 Properties. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

2.3 Revenue recognition

Revenue from the letting of investment property comprises gross rental income and recoveries of operating costs. Rental income is recognised in the period it is earned.

2.4 Service charges and other expenses recoverable from tenants

Service charges and other such receipts are included in net rental income, gross of the related costs. The directors evaluated the substance of the lease agreement, and found the company acts as principal for the collection of service charges and other expenses recoverable from tenants. Income arising from the recovery of operating costs, is recognised in the period in which the compensation becomes receivable.

2.5 Operating profit

Operating profit included in profit or loss represents the net revenue earned from investment property, adjusted for property operating expenses and income.

2.6 Key judgements and sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of Special Purpose Interim Carve-Out Financial information requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Information on key estimates and assumptions which have the most significant effect on the financial statements are set out below.

The properties are valued at each reporting date. For the purposes of the 30 June 2018 valuations, all properties were independently valued. By obtaining external valuations from accredited valuators, management is of the opinion that the risk relating to estimation has been mitigated. Refer to note 4 Investment property for further information.

The fair value of investment properties was assessed by Broll Valuation & Advisory Services (Pty) Ltd and Real Insight (Pty) Ltd, both registered valuers in terms of Section 19 of the Property Valuers Professional Act, No 47 of 2000, with recognised and relevant professional qualifications and with recent experience in the location and category of the investment properties being valued.

The key assumptions used to determine the fair value of the properties are provided in note 4 Investment property.

2.7 Standards and interpretations applicable to the IHS Res 1 Properties not yet effective

The IHS Res 1 Properties has initially adopted IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers from 1 January 2018, which do not have a material effect on the IHS Res 1 Properties’ financial statements. There has consequently been no restatement of any opening balances as at 1 January 2018.

Fair value measurement of investment properties

The properties were valued as at 1 October 2018 by capitalising the net contractual income derived from the properties for a period of one year in advance by an applicable capitalisation rate as determined by the following external independent valuers:

Real Insight Proprietary Limited – Theuns Behrens, Professional Associated Valuer; and

Real Insight Proprietary Limited – Johan Liebenberg, Professional Associated Valuer.

It is the independent property valuers and management’s view that the assumptions used as at 1 October 2018 are not materially different from those that would apply at 30 June 2018.

Expected operating income

The average rental income ranges from R5 786 to R10 921 per unit. Generally, the rentals are market related compared to similar buildings in comparable areas.

Capitalisation rate

The capitalisation rate ranges from 8% to 9.25%. The capitalisation rate applied was derived using an appropriate risk-free rate and adding on property-related risk and illiquidity risk related to property, as well as further amounts related to each property’s construction, size, duration, rental, exit and other property-specific risks. Testing this for reasonableness was achieved by comparing the resultant value per opportunity and effective yield rate against current project sales information, and comparative sales of similar properties in similar locations.

Growth rate

The range for rental escalations is 3.5% to 5%. The rental growth rates are based on current experience with actual growth achieved, but should trend towards inflation over the long term and expectations of future increases based on budgets. The lower growth rates are reflective of tough current economic conditions.

Vacancy factor

In order to apply a conservative approach, 3% to 8% of the gross income was deducted as a provision for rental that may not be collected as a consequence of vacancy, tenant failure or tenant refitting during the course of the coming year. The current vacancies are market-related.

Valuation process

All of the IHS Res 1 Properties’ investment properties were valued at 1 October 2018 by external registered valuers. All valuations were reviewed by the executive directors and asset managers. For all investment properties, their current use equates to the highest and best use.

9. FAIR VALUE INFORMATIONFair value hierarchy

The estimated fair values of financial assets as at 30 June 2018 have been determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.

IFRS 13 requires that an entity discloses for investment properties measured at fair value, the level in the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurements are categorised in their entirety.

The fair value hierarchy reflects the significance of the inputs used in making fair value measurements.

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety shall be determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Details of changes in valuation techniques:

There have been no significant changes in valuation techniques.

Significant transfers between level 1, level 2 and level 3:

There have been no significant transfers between level 1, level 2 and level 3.

Annexure 16

REPORT OF SPECIAL PURPOSE CARVE-OUT HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE IHS RES 1 PROPERTIES FOR THE THREE YEARS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017, 2016 AND 2015

The definitions commencing on page 6 of the Circular have been used throughout this Annexure 16.

As detailed in the Circular, Transcend has entered into the Sale Agreements in terms of which it will acquire each of the 1 983 IHS Res 1 Units, as divisible units, and the right of extension in terms of section 25 of the Sectional Titles Act, No 95 of 1986 (“Right of Extension”) (collectively, the “the IHS Res 1 Properties”) from the seller.

Basis of preparation

The statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the three years ended 31 December 2017, 2016 and 2015, the statements of net assets as at 31 December 2017, 2016 and 2015, the related accounting policies and the notes relating to the IHS Res 1 Properties (“Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information”) have been prepared in accordance with Section 8.2(e) of the JSE Listings Requirements which requires, inter alia, that the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information be presented in respect of the subject of the Category 1 transaction, namely, the IHS Res 1 Properties.

The Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information has been compiled by extracting the underlying audited annual financial statements of International Housing Solutions Residential Partnership LP (“IHS Res 1”), prepared in accordance with IFRS (“Audited Financial Statements”), and adjusted as follows:

1. Exclude the assets and liabilities and income and expenditure of IHS Res 1’s 100% subsidiary, Main Street 1250 Proprietary Limited (“Main Street”);

2. Eliminate the consolidation entries in respect of Main Street;

3. Exclude the assets and liabilities and the associated accounting policies and notes relating to IHS Res 1 that are not being acquired by Transcend in terms of the IHS Res 1 Sale Agreements;

4. Exclude the cash flow statement and the statement of changes in equity and the associated accounting policies and notes as Transcend is only acquiring IHS Res 1 Units and the Right of Extension and, therefore, these are not meaningful;

5. Recognise investment property at fair value in line with Transcend’s accounting policy;

6. Reverse depreciation on investment property carried at cost and include a fair value adjustment; and

7. Recognise recoveries of operating costs as part of revenue and the related costs as part of property operating expenses.

Although Transcend is only acquiring the IHS Res 1 Units and Right of Extension from the seller, the historical interest received by the IHS Res 1 Properties in respect of cash and cash equivalents and the historical interest paid in respect of the previous funding of the IHS Res 1 Units has been included in the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the three years ended 31 December 2017, 2016 and 2015 as this forms part of the historical expenses relating to the IHS Res 1 Properties. Going forward, Transcend will pay interest in respect of the IHS Res 1 Properties in terms of the debt funding that it has put in place in respect of the acquisition of the IHS Res 1 Properties as detailed in paragraph 2.2 of the Circular.

The Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information has been prepared, to the extent applicable, in accordance with the accounting policies of Transcend.

KPMG Inc. is the reporting accountant to Transcend. KPMG Inc. conducted the audits of the Audited Financial Statements in in accordance with International Standards on Auditing 700 (Revised), Forming an Opinion and Reporting on Financial Statements and reported without qualification on the Audited Financial Statements.

Notes to the Special Purpose Interim Carve-Out Financial Information

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1 Basis of preparation

The statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the three years ended 31 December 2017, 2016 and 2015, the statements of net assets as at 31 December 2017, 2016 and 2015, the related accounting policies and the notes relating to the IHS Res 1 Properties (“Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information”) have been prepared in accordance with Section 8.2(e) of the JSE Listings Requirements which requires, inter alia, that the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information be presented in respect of the subject of the Category 1 transaction, namely, the IHS Res 1 Properties.

a) Purpose

These Special Purpose Carve-Out Financial Information is intended for the sole use of providing financial information to meet the requirements of Sections 8 and 13 of the JSE Limited’s (“JSE”) Listings Requirements. The financial information relates to the specific properties to be acquired by Transcend Residential Property Fund Limited (“Transcend”) in terms of the Proposed Transactions. The following properties are to be acquired by Transcend:

– Midrand Village

– De Velde

– Birchwood Village

– Southgate Ridge

– Urban Ridge (West)

– Urban Ridge (East)

– Urban Ridge (South)

b) Basis of measurement

The Special Purpose Carve-Out Financial Information is prepared on the fair value basis for investment properties as set out in note 4.

c) Functional and presentation currency

The Special Purpose Carve-Out Financial Information is presented in South African Rand (“Rand”), which is the IHS Res 1 Properties’ functional currency. All financial information presented in Rand has been rounded to the nearest Rand.

2.1 Investment property

Investment property consists of land and buildings held to earn rental income for the long term and subsequent capital appreciation.

Investment properties are initially recognised at cost on acquisition, including all costs directly attributable to the acquisition, and subsequent additions that will result in future economic benefits and whose cost can be measured reliably, are capitalised.

Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at their fair value. Fair value adjustments are recognised in profit or loss.

Investment properties are maintained, upgraded and refurbished, where necessary, in order to preserve or improve the capital values as far as it is possible to do so. Maintenance and repairs which neither materially add to the value of the properties nor prolong their useful lives, are charged against profit or loss.

In line with the Transcend valuation policy, valuations are performed annually for at least one-third of the properties. However, due to the size of the current portfolio, management’s practice for the past two financial years has been to appoint independent valuers to value the IHS Res 1 Properties.

Gains or losses on subsequent measurement or disposals of investment properties are recognised in profit or loss. Such gains or losses are excluded from the calculation of distributable earnings.

Page 101: Transcend Residential Property Fund Limited CIRCULAR TO ... · 2 Page Annexure 1 Company structure 43 Annexure 2 Information on the Directors, management, material third parties and

99

A gain or loss arising on disposal of investment properties is recognised in profit or loss, measured as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount.

2.2 Leases

A lease is an agreement whereby the lessor conveys to the lessee in return for a payment or series of payments the right to use an asset for an agreed period of time. Determining whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.

The IHS Res 1 Properties is party to numerous leasing contracts as the lessor of the properties. All leases are operating leases, which are those leases where the IHS Res 1 Properties retains a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership.

The IHS Res 1 Properties rental revenue is short-term in nature and consists of contracted rental revenue for a period of 12 months which constitutes the length of the IHS Res 1 Properties’ legally binding lease agreements. Once the lease agreements expire, they revert to month-to-month rental agreements that continue until such time as the rental agreements are terminated either on one month’s notice by the tenant or by the IHS Res 1 Properties.

In some instances, the IHS Res 1 Properties provides certain incentives for the lessee to enter into lease agreements. Initial periods of the lease term may be agreed to be rent-free or at a reduced rent. All incentives are recognised as an integral part of the net consideration agreed for the use of the leased asset, irrespective of the incentive’s nature or form or the timing of payments. The IHS Res 1 Properties recognises the aggregate cost of incentives as a reduction of rental income.

Leases of assets are classified as finance leases when the leases transfer substantially all risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the assets to the IHS Res 1 Properties. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

2.3 Revenue recognition

Revenue from the letting of investment property comprises gross rental income and recoveries of operating costs. Rental income is recognised in the period it is earned.

2.4 Service charges and other expenses recoverable from tenants

Service charges and other such receipts are included in net rental income, gross of the related costs. The directors evaluated the substance of the lease agreement, and found the company acts as principal for the collection of service charges and other expenses recoverable from tenants. Income arising from the recovery of operating costs, is recognised in the period in which the compensation becomes receivable.

2.5 Operating profit

Operating profit included in profit or loss represents the net revenue earned from investment property, adjusted for property operating expenses and income.

2.6 Key judgements and sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of Special Purpose Carve-Out Financial Information requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Information on key estimates and assumptions which have the most significant effect on the financial statements are set out below.

The properties are valued at each reporting date. For the purposes of the 31 December 2017, 2016 and 2015 valuations, all properties were independently valued. By obtaining external valuations from accredited valuators, management is of the opinion that the risk relating to estimation has been mitigated. Refer to note 4 Investment property for further information.

The fair value of investment properties was assessed by Broll Valuation & Advisory Services (Pty) Ltd and Real Insight (Pty) Ltd, both registered valuers in terms of Section 19 of the Property Valuers Professional Act, No 47 of 2000, with recognised and relevant professional qualifications and with recent experience in the location and category of the investment properties being valued.

Page 102: Transcend Residential Property Fund Limited CIRCULAR TO ... · 2 Page Annexure 1 Company structure 43 Annexure 2 Information on the Directors, management, material third parties and

100

The valuation models have been applied in accordance with the recommendations of the International Valuation Standards Committee. The Board and the Investment Committee will conclude that the valuation models used by the IHS Res 1 Properties are consistent with the principles in IFRS 13.

The key assumptions used to determine the fair value of the properties are provided in note 4 Investment property.

2.7 Standards and interpretations applicable to the IHS Res 1 Properties not yet effective

There are new or revised accounting standards and interpretations in issue that are not yet effective. These include the following standards and interpretations that are material to the business of the IHS Res 1 Properties and may have an impact on future financial statements, or those for which the impact has not yet been assessed.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early adoption permitted. The following topics in the new standard may be material to the business of the IHS Res 1 Properties or have an impact on the financial statements which is yet to be determined:

– Classification – Financial assets and financial liabilities

– Impairment – Financial assets and contract assets

– Hedge accounting

– Disclosures

Under IFRS 9 there are two options in respect of the classification of financial assets, namely, financial assets measured at amortised cost or at fair value. Financial assets are measured at amortised cost when the business model is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and when they give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding. All other financial assets are measured at fair value.

Embedded derivatives are no longer separated from hybrid contracts that have a financial asset host.

IFRS 9 has retained in general the requirements of IAS39 for financial liabilities, except for the following two aspects:

– Fair value changes for financial liabilities (other than financial guarantees and loan commitments) designated at fair value through profit or loss, that are attributable to the changes in the credit risk of the liability, will be presented in other comprehensive income. The remaining amount of the fair value change is recognised in profit or loss. However, if this requirement creates or enlarges an accounting mismatch in profit or loss, then the whole fair value change is presented in profit or loss. The determination as to whether such presentation would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch is made on initial recognition and is not subsequently reassessed; and

– Derivative liabilities that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of an unquoted equity instrument whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, are measured at fair value.

A working group has been set up to assess the impact of the new standard on the financial statements. The group will work towards completing their impact assessments by June 2018.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognised. It replaces existing revenue recognition guidance, including IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes.

IFRS 15 is effective from annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early adoption permitted.

The company’s current measurement and recognition principles are currently being assessed against the standard. We, however, do not expect a material impact to measurement principles currently applied.

IFRS 16 Leases

The new standard states that lessees should be required to recognise assets and liabilities arising from all leases (with limited exceptions) on the statement of financial position. Lessor accounting has not substantially changed in the new standard. IFRS 16 supersedes existing lease guidance, including IAS 17: Leases, IFRIC 4: Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease, and SIC 15: Operating Leases – Incentives.

101

The model reflects that, at the start of the lease, the lessee obtains the right to use an asset for a period of time and has an obligation to pay for that right. In response to concerns expressed about the cost and complexity to apply the requirements to large volumes of small assets, the IASB decided not to require a lessee to recognise assets and liabilities for short-term leases (less than 12 months), and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value (such as laptops and office furniture).

A lessee measures lease liabilities at the present value of future lease payments. A lessee measures lease assets initially at the same amount as lease liabilities, and also includes costs directly related to entering into the lease. Lease assets are amortised in a similar way to other assets such as property, plant and equipment. This approach will result in a more fair presentation of a lessee’s assets and liabilities and, together with enhanced disclosure, will provide great transparency of a lessee’s financial leverage and capital employed.

The company is currently assessing the impact of this standard but do not expect a material impact to the measurement principles currently applied.

IAS 40 Investment Property: Transfers of investment property

The amendment provides a clear definition that transfer is made only when there is an actual change in use, with examples of when an asset meets or ceases to meet the definition of investment property and there is evidence of the change in use.

The amendments are effective retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early adoption permitted.

The impact on the Special Purpose Carve-Out Financial Information for the company has not yet been determined.

Fair value measurement of investment properties

The properties were valued as at 31 December 2017, 2016 and 2015 by capitalising the net contractual income derived from the properties for a period of one year in advance by an applicable capitalisation rate as determined by the external independent valuers:

2017

Real Insight Proprietary Limited – Theuns Behrens, Professional Associated Valuer;

Real Insight Proprietary Limited – Johan Liebenberg, Professional Associated Valuer.

2016 and 2015

Broll Valuation & Advisory Services Proprietary Limited – Roger Hunting, MRICS, Dip T.P., MIV (SA), Professional Valuer;

Broll Valuation & Advisory Services Proprietary Limited – Debbie Orchard, AssocRICS, Dip., MIV (SA), Professional Valuer; and

Broll Valuation & Advisory Services Proprietary Limited – Mwangala Elham Shamaila, MRICS, MSc (Bldg), MIV (SA), Professional Valuer.

Expected operating income

The average rental income ranges from R5 638 – R11 401 per unit (2016: 5 540 – R9 941 per unit) (2015: R5 453 – R9 165 per unit). Generally, the rentals are market-related compared to similar buildings in comparable areas.

Capitalisation rate

The capitalisation rate ranges from 8% to 9% (2016: 9% to 9.3%) (2015: 9%). The capitalisation rate applied was derived using an appropriate risk-free rate and adding on property-related risk and illiquidity risk related to property, as well as further amounts related to each property’s construction, size, duration, rental, exit and other property specific risks. Testing this for reasonableness was achieved by comparing the resultant value per opportunity and effective yield rate against current project sales information, and comparative sales of similar properties in similar locations.

Growth rate

The range for rental escalations is 4% to8% (2016: 2.5% to 5%) (2015: 6.5% to 8.5%). The rental growth rates are based on current experience with actual growth achieved but should trend towards inflation over the long term and expectations of future increases based on budgets.

104

Vacancy factor

In order to apply a conservative approach, 3% – 8% (2016: 3% – 5%) (2015: 1.6% – 5.0%) of the gross income was deducted as a provision for rental that may not be collected as a consequence of vacancy, tenant failure or tenant refitting during the course of the coming year. The current vacancies are market-related.

Valuation process

All of the IHS Res 1 Properties’ investment properties were valued at 31 December 2017, 2016 and 2015 by external registered valuers. All valuations were reviewed by the executive directors and asset managers. For all investment properties, their current use equates to the highest and best use.

9. FAIR VALUE INFORMATIONFair value hierarchy

The estimated fair values of investment properties as at 31 December 2017, 31 December 2016 and 31 December 2015 have been determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.

IFRS 13 requires that an entity discloses for investment properties measured at fair value, the level in the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurements are categorised in their entirety.

The fair value hierarchy reflects the significance of the inputs used in making fair value measurements.

105

Figures in Rand 31 December 2017 31 December 2016 31 December 2015

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety shall be determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Details of changes in valuation techniques:

There have been no significant changes in valuation techniques.

Introduction

At your request, and for the purposes of the Circular, we have audited the historical statements of profit and loss and other comprehensive income and the net asset statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the notes thereto, of the IHS Res 1 Properties for the years ended and as at 31 December 2017, 31 December 2016 and 31 December 2015 set out in the Report of Special Purpose Carve-out Historical Financial Information, included in Annexure 16 to the Circular (“Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information”).

Part A – Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information for the years ended and as at 31 December 2017 and 2016

Independent Reporting Accountant’s Report on the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information for the years ended and as at 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2016.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing 800 (Revised), Special Considerations – Audits of Financial Statements Prepared in Accordance with Special Purpose Frameworks. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Independent Reporting Accountant’s Responsibilities for the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information for the years ended and as at 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2016 section of our report. We are independent of the IHS Res 1 Properties in accordance with the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors Code of Professional Conduct for Registered Auditors (IRBA Code) and other independence requirements applicable to performing audits of financial statements in South Africa. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the IRBA Code and in accordance with other ethical requirements applicable to performing audits in South Africa. The IRBA Code is consistent with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (Parts A and B). We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our unmodified opinion on the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information for the years ended and as at 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2016.

Emphasis of Matter – Basis of Preparation

We draw attention to the basis of preparation paragraph to the Special Purpose Carve-out Historical Financial Information for the years ended and as at 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2016, which describes the basis of preparation, including the approach to and the purpose for preparing the financial information. As a result, the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information may not be suitable for another purpose. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Responsibilities of the Directors of the IHS Res 1 Properties for the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information for the years ended and as at 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2016

The directors of the IHS Res 1 Properties are responsible for the preparation of the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information for the years ended and as at 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2016 in accordance with the basis of preparation paragraph set out in Annexure 16 to the Circular for purposes of compliance with the Listings Requirements, for determining that the basis of preparation is acceptable in the circumstances and for such internal control as the directors of the IHS Res 1 Properties determine is necessary to enable the preparation of Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information for the years ended and as at 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2016 that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information for the years ended and as at 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2016, the Directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the IHS Res 1 Properties to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the IHS Res 1 Properties or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Independent Reporting Accountant’s Responsibilities for the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information for the years ended and as at 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2016

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information for the years ended and as at 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2016 is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information for the years ended and as at 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2016.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information for the years ended and as at 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2016, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the IHS Res 1 Properties’ internal control.

Page 110: Transcend Residential Property Fund Limited CIRCULAR TO ... · 2 Page Annexure 1 Company structure 43 Annexure 2 Information on the Directors, management, material third parties and

108

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Directors of the IHS Res 1 Properties.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors of the IHS Res 1 Properties’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the IHS Res 1 Properties to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our independent reporting accountant’s report to the related disclosures in the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information for the years ended and as at 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2016 or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our independent reporting accountant’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the IHS Res 1 Properties to cease to continue as a going concern.

We communicate with the directors of the IHS Res 1 Properties regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Responsibilities of the directors of the IHS Res 1 Properties for the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information for the year ended and as at 31 December 2015.

The directors of the IHS Res 1 Properties are responsible for the preparation of the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information for the year ended and as at 31 December 2015 in accordance with the basis of preparation paragraph set out in Annexure 16 to the Circular for purposes of compliance with the Listings Requirements, for determining that the basis of preparation is acceptable in the circumstances and for such internal control as the directors of the IHS Res 1 Properties determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Independent Reporting Accountant’s Responsibilities for the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information for the year ended and as at 31 December 2015.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information for the year ended and as at 31 December 2015 based on our audit.

We conducted our audits in accordance with ISA’s. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information for the year ended and as at 31 December 2015 is free from material misstatement.

Scope of audit

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information for the year ended and as at 31 December 2015. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information for the year ended and as at 31 December 2015, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information for the year ended and as at 31 December 2015, in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information for the year ended and as at 31 December 2015.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion on the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information for the year ended and as at 31 December 2015

In our opinion, the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Information for the year ended and as at 31 December 2015 as set out in Annexure 16 to the Circular, is prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of preparation paragraph set out in Annexure 16 to the Circular for purposes of compliance with the Listings Requirements.

Emphasis of Matter – Basis of Preparation

We draw attention to the basis of preparation paragraph to the Special Purpose Carve-out Historical Financial Information, which describes the basis of preparation, including the approach to and the purpose for preparing the financial information. As a result, the Special Purpose Carve-Out Historical Financial Statements may not be suitable for another purpose. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

For a special resolution to be approved by Shareholders by way of a written resolution, it must be supported by at least 75% (seventy-five percent) of the voting rights exercisable on the resolution. For the ordinary Resolutions to be approved by Shareholders by way of written resolution, it must be supported by more than 50% (fifty percent) of the voting rights exercisable on the resolution.

1. SPECIAL RESOLUTION NUMBER 1 – 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 Transcend Shares issued pursuant to the implementation of the Proposed Transactions referred to in Ordinary Resolution 1 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, and that any one Director of the Company and/or the Company Secretary be and is hereby authorised to do all such things and sign all such documents as required to give effect to this resolution.”

Voting and additional information

This Special Resolution 1 must be approved by a 75% majority of the votes validly exercised by Shareholders.

The reason for Special Resolution Number 1 is that section 41(3) of the Act requires that companies obtain the approval of shareholders by special resolution for any issue of securities, in a single transaction or an integrated series of transactions, 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 Special Resolution Number 1 will therefore be to grant the Company 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 IHS RES 1 PROPERTIES AND PROTEA GLEN AS A REVERSE TAKE-OVER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION

“RESOLVED AS AN ORDINARY RESOLUTION that, in terms of the Listings Requirements, the Company be and is hereby authorised to implement the acquisition by Transcend, by way of a series of indivisible transactions, 1 983 Units from IHS Res 1 and 176 Units from Sunnyshore, being the “Proposed Transactions” as more fully defined and described in the Circular to which this Notice is annexed, and that any one Director of the Company and/or the Company Secretary be and is hereby authorised to do all such things and sign all such documents as required to give effect to this resolution.

Voting and additional information

Ordinary Resolution number 1 must be approved by more than 50% of the votes validly exercised by Shareholders, excluding related parties and their associates. Accordingly, SAWHF and IHS s.a.r.l and their associates, are precluded from voting on this resolution.

The reason for Ordinary Resolution Number 1 is to approve the Proposed Transactions which are collectively categorised as a Reverse Takeover and related party transaction in terms of the Listings Requirements. The effect of Ordinary Resolution Number 1 is that the Proposed Transactions shall be approved in terms of the Listings Requirements.
