DEALINGS BY AN ASSOCIATE OF A DIRECTOR AND IMPLEMENTATION OF B-BBEE TRANSACTION
Shareholders are referred to the Company's SENS announcement dated 18 February 2025 ("Prior
Announcement") and Spear's acquisition of the Western Cape property portfolio of Emira Property Fund Limited,
implemented in October 2024 ("Acquisition"). As advised in the SENS announcement dated 17 July 2024, the
applicable competition authorities in terms of the Competition Act, No. 89 of 1998, approved the Acquisition subject
to certain conditions, which inter alia, required Spear to implement a transaction or transactions to increase its
Black ownership percentage.
In furtherance of the above and in addition to the acquisitions detailed in the Prior Announcement, Manaus Capital
Proprietary Limited ("Associate"), an associate of Bongani Raziya ("Director"), a non-executive director of the
Company, acquired a further 308 980 ordinary shares in Spear ("Transaction Shares") in a series of on-market
transactions, as detailed in the table below ("Transaction"). The Associate is a verified 100% Black-owned entity
and has undertaken to Spear that it will remain Black-owned, as a long-term investor into Spear. For a period of
36 months following the Transaction, the Associate will not be permitted to dispose of any of the Transaction
Shares.
In order to facilitate the Transaction, Spear Holdco Limited ("Spear Holdco"), a subsidiary of Spear, provided a
limited guarantee ("Guarantee") in favour of Nedbank Limited ("Nedbank") for the financial obligations of the
Associate in terms of the term loan facility ("Facility") which Nedbank made available to it, the proceeds of which
were used by the Associate to acquire a portion of the Transaction Shares on the open market, as detailed in the
table below.
As part of the Transaction, the Associate entered into a cession and pledge agreement, in terms of which it pledged
and ceded the Transaction Shares in security to and in favour of Nedbank for the fulfilment of its financial
obligations under the Facility. In addition, the Associate concluded a counter indemnity in favour of Spear Holdco
for its potential obligations under the Guarantee provided to Nedbank ("Indemnity") and entered into a
reversionary cession and pledge agreement in terms of which it pledged and ceded the reversionary rights in the
Transaction Shares in security to and in favour of Spear Holdco for the fulfilment of its financial obligations under
the Indemnity.
In compliance with paragraphs 3.63 to 3.74 of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, details of the acquisition of
the Transaction Shares by the Associate are disclosed in the table below.
