VOLUNTARY ANNOUNCEMENT – ACQUISITION OF XTRASPACE PORTFOLIO

1. Introduction

The directors of Stor-Age are pleased to advise shareholders that the Company has entered into sale
of rental enterprise agreements whereby Stor-Age will acquire a portfolio of 10 established, income-
producing self storage properties from Xtraspace Properties (Pty) Ltd ("Xtraspace" or the "Portfolio")
for a total purchase consideration of R387.0 million (the "Purchase Consideration") (the "Proposed
Transaction" or the "Acquisition").

Simultaneously, Stor-Age has concluded a management agreement whereby the Company will manage
a further six Xtraspace self storage properties, earning management fees from the transfer date of the
acquired Portfolio (the "Management Agreement").

2. Rationale

The Acquisition is in line with Stor-Age's disciplined growth strategy of acquiring trading self storage
properties that meet its investment criteria and represents an opportunity to expand the Company's
portfolio in key metropolitan markets across South Africa on an earnings accretive basis.

The Management Agreement is also in line with the Group's strategy of growing its third-party
management platform.

The portfolio's geographical spread across the Western Cape, Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal
complements Stor-Age's existing footprint and provides further diversification across South Africa's key
economic centres.

3. Overview of Xtraspace

Established in 2007, Xtraspace is a South African self storage operator with a portfolio of 16 properties
located across the Western Cape, Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal.

4. The Acquisition

(a)     Portfolio overview

        Salient details of the Portfolio are set out below:
        -     Total Gross Lettable Area: 51 878m²
        -     Portfolio acquisition price: R387.0 million
        -     Capital cost improvements (estimated): R38.0m

(b)     Management Agreement

        In conjunction with the Proposed Transaction, Stor-Age has concluded a Management
        Agreement with Xtraspace for an initial period of two years, in terms of which Stor-Age will
        manage a further six Xtraspace properties (remaining under the Xtraspace brand) with effect
        from the Transfer Date of the acquired Portfolio. The Management Agreement enhances Stor-
        Age's recurring fee income and broadens the Company's self storage management capability
        across South Africa.

(c)     Funding

        The Purchase Consideration of R387.0 million will be funded from Stor-Age's existing senior
        debt facilities. The Company maintains a conservative balance sheet and the loan-to-value ratio
        ("LTV") is expected to remain within its target range post acquisition. The Proposed Transaction
        is expected to be earnings accretive on a per-share basis.

(d)     Conditions Precedent and Effective Date

        The Proposed Transaction is subject to the fulfilment of conditions precedent ordinary for a
        transaction of this nature, which includes the approval of the merger by the Competition
        Authorities of South Africa in terms of the Competition Act, 89 of 1998, as amended,
        unconditionally or on conditions acceptable to the Company.

        The effective date of the Proposed Transaction is anticipated to be H2FY27.

5. Categorisation of the Proposed Transaction

The Proposed Transaction is uncategorised in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements.
Accordingly, the information contained in this announcement has been disclosed voluntarily by Stor-
Age.
