SALE OF HERMANSTAD INDUSTRIAL PARK – INDUSTRIAL ASSET


1. INTRODUCTION

   The board of directors of Texton (the “Board”) is pleased to advise shareholders that the Company (the
   “Seller”) has entered into an agreement with Property Genius (Pty) Ltd and Cream Magenta 228 (Pty) Ltd
   (the “Purchaser”) on 24 June 2022 (the “Agreement”) to dispose of Hermanstad Industrial Park located
   in Hermanstad, Pretoria (the “Disposal” or the “Property” or the “Sale”).

2. RATIONALE

   Texton has received an offer for the Property at a premium to its last disclosed book value. Texton has
   limited exposure to industrial assets in its direct property portfolio. As such the Board has decided to exit
   the sector to focus on repurposing its office assets and pursue its Small and Medium Enterprise (“SME”)
   strategy.

   The proceeds of the Sale will be utilised to repay debt and invest to further develop its SME strategy.
   Furthermore, the recycling of capital will provide flexibility for future opportunities to diversify investment
   into other asset classes which appear attractively priced.

3. TERMS OF THE SALE

   The purchase price payable is R133.5 million (the “Sale Consideration”) and will be settled in cash.

   The Sale is subject to the following condition precedents (“Condition Precedents”) to be fulfilled by no
   later than 12 July 2022:
    - the Purchaser confirms that it is satisfied with its due diligence investigation undertaken in respect of
         the Property;
    - the Purchaser receives written confirmation that it has been granted loan funding on standard terms
         and conditions typical for a transaction of this nature; and
    - Finalisation of all requisite Seller board approvals.

   The effective date of the Disposal will be the date on which all Condition Precedents have been fulfilled
   and the transfer date will be the date of registration of transfer of ownership of the Property.

   All other terms of the Agreement are standard terms and conditions typical for a transaction of this nature.
