CATEGORY 2 TRANSACTION ANNOUNCEMENT RELATING TO THE DISPOSAL OF
THE VERSAPAK PAARL PROPERTY
1. Introduction
Mpact is pleased to advise shareholders that on 17 September
2026, the Company, through its subsidiary Mpact Paarl
Property Proprietary Limited (the "Seller"), entered into a
sale of letting enterprise agreement with Inospace 5
Proprietary Limited, which is beneficially owned by The
Taurus Trust, with the right to nominate Inofort Proprietary
Limited (a joint venture between Inospace 5 Proprietary
Limited and Fortress Real Estate Investments Limited) as the
acquiring entity (the "Purchaser"), in terms of which the
Purchaser will acquire the property known as Erf 28634 in
the Drakenstein Municipality, Paarl (the “Property”), as a
going concern (the "Disposal"), for a total purchase
consideration of R185.0 million (inclusive of VAT at the
zero rate) (“Purchase Consideration”).
2. Description of the Property
The Property is located at the Corner of Borssenberg Street
and Jan van Riebeeck Drive with a gross lettable area of 29
541 m2.
The Property was previously occupied by Mpact Versapak,
formerly a division of Mpact Operations Proprietary Limited.
In November 2024, the Mpact Versapak business was acquired
by Versapak Proprietary Limited, a subsidiary of Sinica
Manufacturing Proprietary Limited (“Sinica Versapak”).
Sinica Versapak manufactures styrene and PET trays and
punnets, as well as vinyl cling film.
Sinica Versapak currently leases the Property from the
Seller on market-related terms under a five-year lease
agreement commencing on 1 November 2024 and expiring on 31
October 2029.
3. Rationale for the Disposal
The Disposal is consistent with Mpact's portfolio
optimisation strategy, which seeks to improve portfolio
quality through disciplined capital allocation, the release
of value from non-core and underutilised assets and
investment in businesses and assets with stronger long-term
strategic fit and growth prospects. As the Property is no
longer utilised by Mpact's operations, the Board believes
that the Disposal represents an appropriate opportunity to
realise value from a non-core asset and redeploy capital in
a manner that strengthens the balance sheet and supports the
Group's long-term strategic objectives.
4. Condition precedent and effective date
The Disposal is subject to the fulfilment or waiver (to the
extent legally permissible) of the following condition
precedent (the "Condition Precedent"):
• the Seller procures the release of the mortgage bond
held by its lenders over the Property.
The effective date of the Disposal shall be on the transfer
of ownership of the Property into the name of the Purchaser
which shall be as soon as possible after the Condition
Precedent has been fulfilled, which is anticipated to be
during the first quarter of 2027.
5. Payment and application of the Purchase Consideration
The Purchaser shall pay the Purchase Consideration to the
Seller on the transfer date. The Purchase Consideration
shall be secured by no later than 30 (thirty) days after
signature date by way of a bank guarantee or bank guarantees
issued by a registered banking institution.
The Disposal proceeds will be applied towards the settlement
of existing debt by Mpact.
6. Warranties and other significant terms of the Disposal
The Disposal contains warranties, representations and
indemnities given by the Seller in favour of the Purchaser,
and by the Purchaser in favour of the Seller, which are
customary for a transaction of this nature.
7. Financial information
The net book value of the Property (including solar
equipment and generator systems) that is the subject of the
Disposal was R89.2 million as per the audited annual
financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.
The rental income attributable to the Letting Enterprise was
R19.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2025, or R17.5
million after excluding the impact of IFRS 16 lease-
smoothing adjustments.
The audited annual financial statements for the year ended
31 December 2025 were prepared in accordance with IFRS
Accounting Standards and the South African Companies Act No.
71 of 2008.
8. Categorisation of the Disposal
The Disposal constitutes a category 2 transaction as
contemplated in paragraph 8.4 of the JSE Listing
Requirements. The Disposal is not subject to approval by
