OVERSEAS JURISDICTIONS

The release, publication or distribution of this document in or into jurisdictions other than the United Kingdom, Guernsey and South Africa may be restricted by law and/or regulations and therefore persons into whose possession this document comes who are not resident in the United Kingdom, Guernsey and South Africa or who are subject to the laws and regulations of other jurisdictions should inform themselves of, and observe, any applicable restrictions. Industrials Shareholders who are in any doubt regarding such matters should consult an appropriate independent adviser in the relevant jurisdiction without delay. Any failure to comply with such restrictions may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

Unless otherwise determined by Bidco or required by the Takeover Code, and permitted by applicable law and regulation, the Acquisition shall not be made available, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, in, into or from a Restricted Jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws or regulations in that jurisdiction, and no person may vote in favour of the Acquisition by any such use, means, instrumentality or form within any jurisdiction if to do so would constitute a violation of the laws of that Restricted Jurisdiction. Accordingly, copies of this document and all documents relating to the Acquisition are not being, and must not be, directly or indirectly, mailed or otherwise forwarded, distributed or sent in, into or from a Restricted Jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws in that jurisdiction, and persons receiving this document and all documents relating to the Acquisition (including custodians, nominees and trustees) must not mail or otherwise forward, distribute or send them in, into or from any Restricted Jurisdictions where to do so would violate the laws in that jurisdiction. Any person (including, without limitation, any custodian, nominee and trustee) who would, or otherwise intends to, or who may have a contractual or legal obligation to, forward this document and/or any other related document to any jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom, Guernsey and South Africa should inform themselves of, and observe, any applicable legal or regulatory requirements of such jurisdiction.

If the Acquisition is implemented by way of a Takeover Offer (unless otherwise permitted by applicable law and regulation), such Takeover Offer may not be made available, directly or indirectly, in, into or from, or by the use of mails or any means or instrumentality (including, but not limited to, facsimile, email or other electronic transmission, telex or telephone) of interstate or foreign commerce of, or of any facility of a national, state or other securities exchange of any Restricted Jurisdiction, and the Takeover Offer may not be capable of acceptance by any such use, means, instrumentality or facility.

The availability of the Acquisition to Industrials Shareholders who are not resident in the United Kingdom or Guernsey or South Africa (and, in particular, their ability to vote their Scheme Shares with respect to the Scheme at the Court Meeting, or to appoint another person as proxy to vote at the Court Meeting on their behalf) may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions in which they are resident. Persons who are not resident in the United Kingdom, Guernsey or South Africa should inform themselves of, and observe, any applicable requirements, as any failure to comply with such requirements may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the companies and persons involved in the Acquisition disclaim any responsibility or liability for the violation of such restrictions by any person. The Acquisition shall be subject to the applicable requirements of the Companies Law, the Court, the Takeover Code, the Panel, the London Stock Exchange, the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, the Financial Conduct Authority, the Listing Rules, Finsurv and the JSE Listings Requirements.

176530 Proof 4 Friday, May 5, 2023 15:50

The information contained in this document constitutes factual information as contemplated in section 1(3)(a) of the South African Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act 37 of 2002 (as amended) ("FAIS Act") and should not be construed as express or implied advice (as such term is used in the South African Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act 37 of 2002 (as amended)) that any particular transaction in respect of the Acquisition, is appropriate to the particular investment objectives, financial situations or needs of a shareholder or offeree, and nothing in this document should be construed as constituting the canvassing for, or marketing or advertising of, financial services in South Africa. Bidco is not a financial services provider licensed as such under the FAIS Act.

Nothing in this document should be viewed, or construed, as "advice", as that term is used in the South African Financial Markets Act 19 of 2012 (as amended).

Each Industrials Shareholder is urged to consult their independent professional adviser immediately regarding the tax consequences of the Acquisition.

The statements contained in this document are not to be construed as legal, business, financial or tax advice.

NOTES TO INDUSTRIALS SHAREHOLDERS IN THE UNITED STATES

None of the securities referred to in this document have been approved or disapproved by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities commission in the United States or any other US regulatory authority, nor have such authorities passed upon or determined the fairness or merits of such securities or the adequacy or accuracy of the information contained in this document. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States.

The Acquisition is being made to acquire the securities of a Guernsey company by means of a scheme of arrangement provided for under Part VIII of the Companies Law. A transaction effected by means of a scheme of arrangement is not subject to the proxy solicitation or tender offer rules under the US Exchange Act. Accordingly, the Scheme will be subject to disclosure requirements and practices applicable to schemes of arrangement involving a target company incorporated in Guernsey listed on the London Stock Exchange, which are different from the disclosure requirements of the US under the US proxy solicitation and tender offer rules. The financial information included in this document has been or will have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards applicable in Guernsey and the UK and thus may not be comparable to financial information of US companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the US.

If Bidco were to elect to implement the Acquisition by means of a Takeover Offer, such Takeover Offer would be made in compliance with applicable US laws and regulations, including to the extent applicable Section 14(e) of the US Exchange Act and Regulation 14E thereunder, and in accordance with the Takeover Code. Such a takeover would be made in the United States by Bidco and no one else.

The receipt of cash pursuant to the Acquisition by a US holder as consideration for the transfer of its Scheme Shares pursuant to the Scheme may be a taxable transaction for United States federal income tax purposes and under applicable United States state and local, as well as foreign and other, tax laws. Each Industrials Shareholder is urged to consult his independent professional adviser immediately regarding the tax consequences of the Acquisition applicable to him.

It may be difficult for US holders to enforce their rights and any claims arising out of the US federal securities laws, since Industrials is organised under the laws of Guernsey, some or all of its assets are located in a country other than the US, and all of its officers and directors are residents of countries other than the US. US holders may not be able to sue a non-US company or its officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of US securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-US company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a US court's judgement.

176530 Proof 4 Friday, May 5, 2023 15:50

In accordance with normal UK practice and consistent with Rule 14e-5 under the US Exchange Act, Bidco, certain affiliated companies and the nominees or brokers (acting as agents) may from time to time make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, shares in Industrials outside of the US, other than pursuant to the Acquisition, until the date on which the Acquisition and/or Scheme becomes effective, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn. If such purchases or arrangements to purchase were to be made they would occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices and will comply with applicable law, including to the extent applicable the US Exchange Act. Any information about such purchases or arrangements to purchase will be disclosed as required in the United Kingdom, will be reported to a Regulatory Information Service and will be available on the London Stock Exchange website at www.londonstockexchange.com and via SENS. This information will also be publicly disclosed in the US to the extent that such information is made public in the UK.

Neither the delivery of this document nor holding of the Meetings, the Court Hearing, or filing the Scheme Court Order shall, under any circumstances, create any implication that there has been no change in the affairs of the Industrials Group, Bidco or Blackstone since the date of this document or that the information in, or incorporated into, this document is correct as at time subsequent to its date.

The summary of the principal provisions of the Scheme contained in this document is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Scheme itself, the full text of which is set out in Part 3 of this document.

The statements contained in this document are made as at the date of this document, unless some other time is specified in relation to them, and service of this document shall not give rise to any implication that there has been no change in the facts set forth in this document since such date.

NO PROFIT FORECAST, ESTIMATE OR QUANTIFIED BENEFITS STATEMENTS

No statement in this document or incorporated by reference into this document is intended to constitute a profit forecast, profit estimate or quantified benefits statements for Industrials or Bidco for any period, nor should any statement in this document or incorporated by reference into this document be interpreted to mean that earnings or earnings per Industrials Share for the current or future financial years would necessarily match or exceed the historical published earnings or earnings per Industrials Share.

CAUTIONARY NOTE ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This document (including information incorporated by reference in this document), oral statements made regarding the Acquisition, and other information published by Bidco and Industrials contain certain statements, beliefs or opinions, with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of Bidco and Industrials which are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking statements" and which are prospective in nature. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts. These statements are based on assumptions and assessments made by Industrials and/or Bidco, in light of their experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, future developments and other factors they believe appropriate. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty, because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future and the factors described in the context of such forward-looking statements in this document could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Although it is believed that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given by Industrials and Bidco that such expectations will prove to have been correct and you are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which speak only as at the date of this document. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "plans", "goals", "hopes", "expects", "is expected", "envisages", "continue", "is subject to", "budget", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "predicts", "intends", "anticipates", "believes", "targets", "aims", "projects", "future-proofing" or words or terms of similar substance or the negative of such words or terms, as well as variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "should", "would", "might" or "will" (or words of similar meaning) be taken, occur or be achieved. Such statements are qualified in their entirety by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future expectations.

DEALING DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS

R24.3(d)(xv)

Under Rule 8.3(a) of the Takeover Code, any person who is interested in 1 per cent. or more of any class of relevant securities of an offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror (being any offeror other than an offeror in respect of which it has been announced that its offer is, or is likely to be, solely in cash) must make an Opening Position Disclosure following the commencement of the Offer Period and, if later, following the announcement in which any securities exchange offeror is first identified.

An Opening Position Disclosure must contain details of the person's interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any securities exchange offeror(s). An Opening Position Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(a) of the Takeover Code applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the 10th business day following the commencement of the Offer Period and, if appropriate, by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the 10th business day following the announcement in which any securities exchange offeror is first identified. Relevant persons who deal in the relevant securities of the offeree company or of a securities exchange offeror prior to the deadline for making an Opening Position Disclosure must instead make a Dealing Disclosure.

Under Rule 8.3(b) of the Takeover Code, any person who is, or becomes, interested in 1 per cent. or more of any class of relevant securities of the offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror must make a Dealing Disclosure if the person deals in any relevant securities of the offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror. A Dealing Disclosure must contain details of the dealing concerned and of the person's interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any securities exchange offeror, save to the extent that these details have previously been disclosed under Rule 8 of the Takeover Code. A Dealing Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(b) of the Takeover Code applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the business day following the date of the relevant dealing.

If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire or control an interest in relevant securities of an offeree company or a securities exchange offeror, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3 of the Takeover Code.

Opening Position Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company and by any offeror and Dealing Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company, by any offeror and by any persons acting in concert with any of them (see Rules 8.1, 8.2 and 8.4 of the Takeover Code).

Details of the offeree and offeror companies in respect of whose relevant securities Opening Position Disclosures and Dealing Disclosures must be made can be found in the disclosure table on the Panel's website at www.TheTakeoverPanel.org.uk, including details of the number of relevant securities in issue, when the Offer Period commenced and when any offeror was first identified. You should contact the Panel's Market Surveillance Unit on +44 (0)20 7638 0129 if you are in any doubt as to whether you are required to make an Opening Position Disclosure or a Dealing Disclosure.

The Court Meeting and the General Meeting will be held at Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP, Governors House, 5 Laurence Pountney Hill, London, EC4R 0BR, on 31 May 2023 at 10.00 am London time (11.00 am SAST) and 10.15 am London time (11.15 am SAST), respectively (or, in the case of the General Meeting, as soon thereafter as the Court Meeting has been concluded or adjourned). The Scheme requires approval at the Court Meeting, and the implementation of the Scheme requires approval at the General Meeting.

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT, FOR THE COURT MEETING, AS MANY VOTES AS POSSIBLE ARE CAST (WHETHER IN PERSON OR BY PROXY) SO THAT THE COURT MAY BE SATISFIED THAT THERE IS A FAIR REPRESENTATION OF THE OPINION OF SCHEME SHAREHOLDERS. YOU ARE THEREFORE STRONGLY URGED TO EITHER SIGN AND RETURN YOUR FORMS OF PROXY (IF PROVIDED), APPOINT AN ELECTRONIC OR CREST PROXY OR (IF YOU HOLD YOUR SCHEME SHARES ON THE SOUTH AFRICAN REGISTER THROUGH STRATE AND NOT IN YOUR OWN NAME) MAKE CONTACT WITH YOUR CSDP OR BROKER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Industrials Shareholders on the Guernsey Register

You are encouraged to PLEASE COMPLETE AND SIGN both the enclosed or available blue and pink Forms of Proxy, even if you are intending on attending either or both of the Meetings in person, and to return them by hand, by post or by email in accordance with the instructions provided thereon, as soon as possible, but in any event so as to be received (during normal business hours) by no later than 10.00 am London time (11.00 am SAST) on Friday 26 May 2023 in the case of the pink Form of Proxy in respect of the Court Meeting and by no later than 10.15 am London time (11.15 am SAST)) on Friday 26 May 2023 in the case of the blue Form of Proxy in respect of the General Meeting. This will enable your votes to be counted at the Meetings in the event of your absence.

If the pink Form of Proxy for use at the Court Meeting is not lodged by 10.00 am London time (11.00 am SAST) on Friday 26 May 2023 (or, in the case of adjournment, no later than 48 hours (excluding any part of such 48 hour period falling on a non-Business Day) before the time fixed for the holding of the adjourned Meeting), it may be handed to the chairman of the meeting or emailed to and received by #[email protected] before the start of the Court Meeting and will still be valid.

However, in the case of the General Meeting, unless the blue Form of Proxy is lodged so as to be received by 10.15 am London time (11.15 am SAST) on Friday 26 May 2023 (or, in the case of adjournment, no later than 48 hours (excluding any part of such 48 hour period falling on a non-Business Day) before the time fixed for the holding of the adjourned Meeting), it will be invalid. Industrials Shareholders in the United Kingdom or Guernsey should return their Forms of Proxy using the prepaid envelope provided for their convenience. An Industrials Shareholder may appoint more than one proxy in relation to each of the Meetings, provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by that Industrials Shareholder.

You can also submit your proxy vote via the internet through the share portal service at www.investorcentre.co.uk/eproxy. To do so, you will need to log on to your share portal account or register for the share portal if you have not already done so. Once registered, you will immediately be able to vote. Proxies submitted via the share portal service must be received by the Guernsey Registrar no later than 48 hours (excluding any part of such 48 hour period falling on a non-Business Day) before the appointed time for the relevant Meeting or, in the case of an adjournment, no later than 48 hours (excluding any part of such 48 hour period falling on a non-Business Day) before the time fixed for the holding of the adjourned Meeting.

Neither the completion and return of a Form of Proxy nor the submission of a proxy through the share portal will prevent you from attending, speaking and voting at the Court Meeting or the General Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, in person should you wish to do so and are so entitled.

Industrials Shareholders on the Guernsey Register with Industrials Shares held in CREST

176530 Proof 4 Friday, May 5, 2023 15:50

Proxies submitted via CREST (under CREST participant ID 3RA50) must be received by the Guernsey Registrar no later than 10.00 am London Time (11.00 am SAST) on Friday 26 May 2023 in the case of the Court Meeting and by no later than 10.15 am London Time (11.15 am SAST) on Friday 26 May 2023 in the case of the General Meeting (or, in the case of an adjourned meeting, no later than 48 hours (excluding any part of such 48 hour period falling on a non-Business Day) before the time fixed for the holding of the adjourned Meeting).

The submission of a proxy via CREST will not prevent you from attending, speaking and voting at either the Court Meeting or the General Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, in person should you wish to do so and are so entitled.

Industrials Shareholders on the South African Register with Industrials Shares held through STRATE and not in their own names

If you hold your Industrials Shares on the South African Register in dematerialised form and not in your own name, you should not complete the Forms of Proxy.

In order to vote at or attend the Court Meeting and the General Meeting, you should be in contact with your CSDP or broker. If you have not been contacted by your CSDP or broker, it is advisable for you to contact your CSDP or broker immediately and furnish your CSDP or broker with your voting instructions in the manner and by the cut-off time stipulated by your CSDP or broker in terms of the custody agreement between you and your CSDP or broker.

If your CSDP or broker does not obtain voting instructions from you, your CSDP or broker will be obliged to act in accordance with the instructions contained in the custody agreement between you and your CSDP or broker.

Should you wish to attend, speak and vote, or to send a proxy to represent you at the Court Meeting or the General Meeting, you must, in accordance with the custody agreement between you and your CSDP or broker, advise your CSDP or broker. Your CSDP or broker should then issue the necessary letter of representation to you for you or your proxy to attend, speak and vote at the Court Meeting or the General Meeting (as the case may be).

If the yellow Form of Proxy for use at the Court Meeting is not lodged by 10.00 am London time (11.00 am SAST) on Friday 26 May 2023 (or, in the case of adjournment, no later than 48 hours (excluding any part of such 48-hour period falling on a non-Business Day) before the time fixed for the holding of the adjourned Meeting), it may be handed to the chairman of the meeting or emailed to and received by [email protected] before the start of the Court Meeting and will still be valid.

However, in the case of the General Meeting, unless the green Form of Proxy is lodged so as to be received by 10.15 am London time (11.15 am SAST) on Friday 26 May 2023 (or, in the case of adjournment, no later than 48 hours (excluding any part of such 48 hour period falling on a non-Business Day) before the time fixed for the holding of the adjourned Meeting), it will be invalid.

R24.3(d)(iv)

To: Industrials Shareholders and, for information purposes only, to participants in the Industrials Share Plans

Dear Shareholder,

Recommended Final Cash Offer for Industrials by Bidco

1. Introduction

On 14 April 2023, the Industrials Board and Bidco announced that they had reached agreement on the terms of a recommended final cash offer pursuant to which Bidco will acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Industrials. The Acquisition is to be effected by means of a Court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement between Industrials and Scheme Shareholders under Part VIII of the Companies Law.

This letter sets out the background to the Acquisition, the reasons why the Industrials Board considers the Acquisition to be fair and reasonable, and why it is unanimously recommending that Scheme Shareholders vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and that Industrials Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution to be proposed at the General Meeting (as the Industrials Directors and certain of their connected persons who own or control Industrials Shares have irrevocably undertaken to do in respect of their own beneficial holdings, as set out in paragraph 7 of this letter below).

This document also contains notices of the Meetings at which the Scheme will be put to Industrials Shareholders.

2. The Acquisition

Under the terms of the Acquisition, which is subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the Conditions (and to the further terms of the Acquisition) as set out in full in Part 4 of this document, Scheme Shareholders at the Scheme Record Time will be entitled to receive:

for each Scheme Share: 168 pence in cash

The Final Offer Price represents a premium of approximately:

  • 42.4 per cent. to the closing price per Industrials Share of 118.0 pence on 31 March 2023 (being the last Business Day prior to the commencement of the Offer Period);
  • 40.6 per cent. to the volume weighted average price per Industrials Share of 119.5 pence for the one-month period ended 31 March 2023 (being the last Business Day prior to the commencement of the Offer Period); and

• 12.0 per cent. to the Rolled-forward 31 March 2023 Unaudited EPRA NTA per share of 150 pence per Industrials Share.

The Acquisition values the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Industrials at approximately £511,196,472 on a fully diluted basis.

The financial terms of the Acquisition are final and will not be increased, except that Bidco reserves the right to increase the Final Offer Price where: (i) there is an announcement of a possible offer or a firm intention to make an offer for Industrials by any third party; or (ii) the Panel otherwise provides its consent.

R32.2 (Note 1)

176530 Proof 4 Friday, May 5, 2023 15:50

Schedule 1 to this document contains a valuation report in respect of Industrials' property portfolio from Jones Lang LaSalle, as at 31 March 2023, pursuant to the requirements of Rule 29 of the Takeover Code. Jones Lang LaSalle has given and not withdrawn its consent to the publication of its valuation report in this document in the form and context in which it is included.

If, on or after the date of the Announcement, any dividend and/or other distribution and/or other return of capital is declared, made or paid or becomes payable in respect of the Industrials Shares (in each case with a record date prior to the Effective Date), the Cash Consideration will automatically be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of such dividend and/or distribution and/or return of capital (other than in circumstances where Bidco is permitted to increase the Final Offer Price, in which case the Cash Consideration shall not automatically be reduced, but Bidco reserves the right to elect to reduce the Cash Consideration by such amount). Where the Cash Consideration is so reduced, any reference in this document to the Cash Consideration will automatically be deemed to be a reference to the Cash Consideration as so reduced by the amount of such dividend and/or distribution and/or return of capital. In such circumstances, Industrials Shareholders would be entitled to receive and retain any such dividend or other distribution and/or return of capital. Any automatic reduction of the Cash Consideration or the exercise by Bidco of its rights and/or obligations referred to in this paragraph shall be the subject of an announcement and, for the avoidance of doubt, not be regarded as constituting any revision or variation of the terms of the Acquisition or the Scheme.

3. Background to and reasons for the Acquisition

Industrials operates in an attractive segment, with well-located and well-maintained estates. Blackstone believes that the full potential of the business is best achieved as a private company, with greater access to capital. This will facilitate both increased investment in the existing estates to improve specifications and ESG credentials, and the opportunity to grow the business and fully leverage the potential of the platform.

4. Background to and reasons for the recommendation

Industrials has transitioned its business between 2018 and 2023 from a multi-sector, pan-European property investor into a focused UK MLI operating company. This transition was predicated on the strong underlying fundamentals of the UK MLI sector, where growing demand and inelastic supply have, and continue to, deliver strong rental growth, whilst the affordability of rent to customers remains high. The portfolio continues to perform well, showing strong rental uplifts on a quarterly basis and significant reversionary growth in rents across the portfolio.

As part of the transition, Industrials invested in and built the Industrials Hive® operating platform over several years which provides Industrials with the ability to increase the scale of its portfolio and operations in a cost efficient manner, thereby growing earnings and underlying property returns.

Despite the inflationary environment and higher rates negatively impacting all listed property businesses, the Industrials Board remains confident that Industrials' high-quality portfolio, management platform and pipeline provide a foundation for continued growth. Since the start of 2023, overall performance has been in line with the Industrials Board's expectations. Industrials has delivered underlying total accounting returns of between 5.4 per cent. and 23.6 per cent. per annum over the last five years.

However, the Industrials Board believes that this strong financial and operational performance, as well as attractive sector dynamics, have not been reflected in the current share price, with a significant de-rating experienced over the last year driven by the inflationary and higher interest rate environment. The Industrials Board has carefully considered the medium and long-term prospects for Industrials, assessing the opportunities to materially increase the scale of the business in an accretive way, in order to create additional value for Industrials Shareholders. Whilst the Industrials Board remains confident in Industrials' strategy and continues to believe that Industrials is well positioned to succeed as an independent business, it has also considered the medium-term risks posed by the uncertainty in the current economic environment, as well as the limitations and risks specific to Industrials including:

176530 Proof 4 Friday, May 5, 2023 15:50

  • a potential continuation of the share price discount to the Rolled-forward 31 March 2023 Unaudited EPRA NTA per share of 150 pence per Industrials Share and, related to that, the ongoing inability to raise capital through the public equity markets, thereby constraining Industrials' investment strategy and ability to increase scale;
  • the increased costs associated with refinancing current debt facilities as they fall due and the costs associated with raising new debt in the current market which limit the sources of capital to fund investment and growth of the portfolio;
  • the inflationary impact on Industrials' cost base; and
  • the continuing uncertainty with respect to the shape and speed of any recovery due to continuing volatile market conditions.

The Final Offer Price of 168 pence per Industrials Share followed the Industrials Board having received and rejected multiple proposals from Bidco over a period of a few weeks. In arriving at its recommendation, the Industrials Board believes that the Acquisition is in the best interests of Industrials Shareholders by significantly accelerating the value that could be realised by Industrials independently. In reaching its conclusion, the Industrials Board has carefully considered the following:

  • the risk-adjusted returns that may be generated by Industrials' strategy as compared with the certainty of execution of the Acquisition, which represents an acceleration of expected value creation;
  • that the Final Offer Price of 168 pence per Industrials Share represents a 12.0 per cent. premium to the Rolled-forward 31 March 2023 Unaudited EPRA NTA per share of 150 pence per Industrials Share;
  • that the Final Offer Price represents premia of 42.4 per cent. to the unaffected share price of 118 pence as at 31 March 2023 and a 40.6 per cent. to the volume weighted average share price of 119.5 pence over the one-month period ended on 31 March 2023;
  • that the Acquisition provides Industrials Shareholders with the opportunity to realise the entirety of their interests in cash; and
  • the impact of the Acquisition on all of Industrials' stakeholders, including the importance of Industrials' employees to Bidco's future strategy.

In addition to the financial terms of the Acquisition, in its evaluation of Bidco as a suitable owner of Industrials from the perspective of all stakeholders, the Industrials Board has also taken into account Bidco's intentions for the business, management and employees and other stakeholders of Industrials. The Industrials Board believes that Bidco is strongly positioned to support Industrials in its next phase of growth and will continue to invest in the business to improve the long-term value of Industrials' business and increase the future opportunities for Industrials.

As such, the Industrials Board unanimously recommends that Scheme Shareholders vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and that Industrials Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution to be proposed at the General Meeting.

5. Bidco's intentions for Industrials

Your attention is drawn to the statement of Bidco's intentions for the Industrials Group if the Scheme becomes Effective as set out in paragraph 7 of Part 2 of this document.

6. Current trading and prospects

In its half year results for the six months ended 30 September 2022, Industrials reported a basic loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of £21.3 million, equating to a loss of 7.18 pence per share on a diluted IFRS EPS basis. As at 30 September 2022, Industrials had net assets of £495 million and a net asset value per ordinary share of 168 pence or EPRA NTA per share of 162 pence. As at 31 March 2023, Industrials had net assets of £459 million and a Rolled-forward 31 March 2023 Unaudited EPRA NTA per share of 150 pence per Industrials Share.

R25.4(a) (v) & Note 2

On 28 April 2023, Industrials published its trading update in respect of the period from 1 January 2023 to 31 March 2023 and announced that its MLI portfolio had delivered on target, with 4.8% like-for-like growth in passing rents and 10.6% growth in estimated rental values over the 12 month period. It was also noted that during the quarter, Industrials had concluded 120 leasing transactions taking the total for the financial year to 401, a 50% increase on the prior year.

7. Irrevocable undertakings and letters of intent

To become Effective, the Scheme requires, amongst other things, the approval of Scheme Shareholders at the Court Meeting convened for 10.00 am London time (11.00 am SAST) on Wednesday 31 May 2023 and the passing of the Resolution to be proposed at the General Meeting convened for 10.15 am London time (11.15 am SAST) on Wednesday 31 May 2023. The Scheme also requires the sanction of the Court at the Court Hearing.

Bidco has received irrevocable undertakings from each of the Industrials Directors and certain of their connected persons to vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the Resolution to be proposed at the General Meeting in respect of their own beneficial holdings, in respect of which they control the voting rights amounting to 18,707,811 Industrials Shares, representing approximately 6.3 per cent. of Industrials' issued ordinary share capital at close of business on 3 May 2023 (being the Latest Practicable Date), excluding shares held as treasury shares.

In addition to the irrevocable undertakings received from the Industrials Directors, Bidco has also received letters of intent to vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the Resolution to be proposed at the General Meeting from Industrials shareholders TR Property Investment Trust PLC, Earl Fiduciary AG, Stenham Asset Management Limited, Waverton Investment Management Limited, Global One Ltd, John Keogan, Roger Carey and Ian Charles Melia, in respect of, in aggregate, 61,314,483 Industrials Shares, representing approximately 20.7 per cent. of the ordinary share capital of Industrials in issue on 3 May 2023 (being the Latest Practicable Date), excluding shares held as treasury shares.

In total, therefore, Bidco has procured irrevocable undertakings and letters of intent, including those irrevocable undertakings from the Industrials Directors and certain of their connected persons, to vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the Resolution to be proposed at the General Meeting in respect of, in aggregate, 80,022,294 Industrials Shares, representing approximately 27.0 per cent. of the ordinary share capital of Industrials in issue on 3 May 2023 (being the Latest Practicable Date), excluding shares held as treasury shares.

Further details of these irrevocable undertakings and letters of intent, including the circumstances in which they fall away, are set out in paragraph 4 of Part 7 of this document.

To Industrials Shareholders and, for information purposes only, to participants in the Industrials Share Plans

Dear Sir/Madam

1. Introduction

On 14 April 2023, the Industrials Board and Bidco announced that they had reached agreement on the terms of a recommended final cash offer pursuant to which Bidco will acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Industrials.

The Acquisition is to be effected by means of a Court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under Part VIII of the Companies Law, which requires the approval of the Scheme Shareholders and the sanction of the Court. The terms of the Scheme are set out in full in Part 3 of this document.

Your attention is drawn to the Letter from the Chairman of Industrials set out in Part 1 of this document which forms part of this Explanatory Statement. That letter contains, amongst other things, the background to and reasons for the unanimous recommendation of the Industrials Directors and states that the Industrials Directors, who have been so advised by Numis and Eastdil Secured, consider the terms of the Scheme to be fair and reasonable.

Under the terms of the Acquisition, which is subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the Conditions (and to the further terms of the Acquisition) as set out in full in Part 4 of this document, Scheme Shareholders at the Scheme Record Time will be entitled to receive:

176530 Proof 4 Friday, May 5, 2023 15:49

for each Scheme Share: 168 pence in cash

The Final Offer Price represents a premium of approximately:

  • 42.4 per cent. to the closing price per Industrials Share of 118.0 pence on 31 March 2023 (being the last Business Day prior to the commencement of the Offer Period);
  • 40.6 per cent. to the volume weighted average price per Industrials Share of 119.5 pence for the one-month period ended 31 March 2023 (being the last Business Day prior to the commencement of the Offer Period); and
  • 12.0 per cent. to the Rolled-forward 31 March 2023 Unaudited EPRA NTA per share of 150 pence per Industrials Share.

The Acquisition values the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of Industrials at approximately £511,196,472 on a fully diluted basis.

The financial terms of the Acquisition are final and will not be increased, except that Bidco reserves the right to increase the Final Offer Price where: (i) there is an announcement of a possible offer or a firm intention to make an offer for Industrials by any third party; or (ii) the Panel otherwise provides its consent.

Schedule 1 to this document contains a valuation report in respect of Industrials' property portfolio from Jones Lang LaSalle, as at 31 March 2023, pursuant to the requirements of Rule 29 of the Takeover Code. Jones Lang LaSalle has given and not withdrawn its consent to the publication of its valuation report in this document in the form and context in which it is included.

If, on or after the date of the Announcement, any dividend and/or other distribution and/or other return of capital is declared, made or paid or becomes payable in respect of the Industrials Shares (in each case with a record date prior to the Effective Date), the Cash Consideration will automatically be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of such dividend and/or distribution and/or return of capital (other than in circumstances where Bidco is permitted to increase the Final Offer Price, in which case the Cash Consideration shall not automatically be reduced, but Bidco reserves the right to elect to reduce the Cash Consideration by such amount). Where the Cash Consideration is so reduced, any reference in this document to the Cash Consideration will automatically be deemed to be a reference to the Cash Consideration as so reduced by the amount of such dividend and/or distribution and/or return of capital. In such circumstances, Industrials Shareholders would be entitled to receive and retain any such dividend or other distribution and/or return of capital. Any automatic reduction of the Cash Consideration or the exercise by Bidco of its rights and/or obligations referred to in this paragraph shall be the subject of an announcement and, for the avoidance of doubt, not be regarded as constituting any revision or variation of the terms of the Acquisition or the Scheme.

3. Structure of the Scheme proposals

The Scheme is an arrangement made between Industrials and the Scheme Shareholders under Part VIII of the Companies Law, which requires the approval of the Scheme Shareholders and the sanction of the Court. The purpose of the Scheme is to provide for Bidco to become the legal and beneficial holder of the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Industrials.

In order to achieve this, it is proposed that all Scheme Shares will be transferred to Bidco, in consideration for which the Scheme Shareholders whose names appear on the Register of Industrials at the Scheme Record Time will be entitled (subject to certain terms and conditions) to receive the Cash Consideration on the basis set out in this document.

To become Effective, the Scheme requires, amongst other things, the approval of Scheme Shareholders at the Court Meeting convened for 10.00 am London time (11.00 am SAST) on Wednesday 31 May 2023. The Scheme also requires the sanction of the Court at the Court Hearing and the passing of the Resolution to be proposed at the General Meeting convened for 10.15 am London time (11.15 am SAST) on Wednesday 31 May 2023. More details are provided at paragraph 14 of this Explanatory Statement.

176530 Proof 4 Friday, May 5, 2023 15:49

The Scheme is subject to the Conditions and to certain further terms referred to in Part 4 of this document. In particular, it requires the approval of Scheme Shareholders for the Scheme at the Court Meeting, which has been convened for 10.00 am London time (11.00 am SAST) on Wednesday 31 May 2023. The Scheme must be approved by a majority in number of Scheme Shareholders present and voting, either in person or by proxy, at the Court Meeting representing not less than 75 per cent. of the votes cast by such Scheme Shareholders.

Implementation of the Scheme will also require the passing at the General Meeting (which will be held immediately after the Court Meeting) of the Resolution as a special resolution, which requires the approval of Industrials Shareholders representing at least 75 per cent. of the votes cast at the General Meeting (either in person or by proxy). In respect of the Resolution, each Industrials Shareholder will be entitled to cast one vote for each Industrials Share held.

Following the Meetings, the Scheme must be sanctioned by the Court and will only become Effective upon delivery to the Guernsey Registry of a copy of the Scheme Court Order for registration (which must occur within 7 days after the making of the Scheme Court Order in accordance with the Companies Law). Upon the Scheme becoming Effective, it will be binding on all Scheme Shareholders, irrespective of whether or not they attended or voted, or whether they voted in favour of or against the Scheme at the Court Meeting or whether they voted in favour of or against the Resolution at the General Meeting.

Industrials will not issue or register the transfer of any Industrials Shares after the Scheme Record Time until the Scheme has become Effective.

4. Irrevocable undertakings and letters of intent

Bidco has received irrevocable undertakings from each of the Industrials Directors and certain of their connected persons to vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the Resolution to be proposed at the General Meeting in respect of their own beneficial holdings, in respect of which they control the voting rights amounting to 18,707,811 Industrials Shares, representing approximately 6.3 per cent. of Industrials' issued ordinary share capital at close of business on 3 May 2023 (being the Latest Practicable Date), excluding shares held as treasury shares.

In addition to the irrevocable undertakings received from the Industrials Directors, Bidco has also received letters of intent to vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the Resolution to be proposed at the General Meeting from TR Property Investment Trust PLC, Earl Fiduciary AG, Stenham Asset Management Limited, Waverton Investment Management Limited, Global One Ltd, John Keogan, Roger Carey and Ian Charles Melia, in respect of, in aggregate, 61,314,483 Industrials Shares, representing approximately 20.7 per cent. of the ordinary share capital of Industrials in issue on 3 May 2023 (being the Latest Practicable Date), excluding shares held as treasury shares.

In total, therefore, Bidco has procured irrevocable undertakings and letters of intent, including those irrevocable undertakings from the Industrials Directors and certain of their connected persons, to vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the Resolution to be proposed at the General Meeting in respect of, in aggregate, 80,022,294 Industrials Shares, representing approximately 27.0 per cent. of the ordinary share capital of Industrials in issue on 3 May 2023 (being the Latest Practicable Date), excluding shares held as treasury shares.

R19.6 & R24.2 R25.7(c)

Bidco's strategic plans for Industrials

Bidco recognises the quality of the portfolio and strength of the technology based operating platform that Industrials has developed. Following completion of the Acquisition, Bidco intends for Industrials to continue to operate as a standalone business.

Prior to the Announcement, consistent with market practice, Bidco was granted access to Industrials' senior management for the purposes of confirmatory due diligence. However, because of the constraints of a public offer process, Bidco has not yet had access to sufficiently detailed operational information to formulate a detailed strategy for Industrials.

Following the Effective Date, Bidco intends to work with Industrials' management to undertake a detailed evaluation of Industrials to formulate a detailed strategy for the business. Bidco expects that this evaluation will be completed within approximately six to nine months from the Effective Date.

Employees and management

Bidco attaches great importance to the skill and experience of Industrials' management and employees and recognises the important contribution they have made to the development of the business.

Other than a small and non-material reduction in headcount (subject to any applicable informing and consulting obligations and Bidco's obligations under the Co-Operation Agreement) principally within the central corporate and support functions (including listed company-related functions) following Industrials ceasing to be a listed company, Bidco does not intend to make any reductions to Industrials' headcount. Any headcount reductions will be carried out in accordance with applicable law.

176530 Proof 4 Friday, May 5, 2023 15:49

Bidco does not intend to make any changes to the conditions of employment or the balance of skills and functions of the employees and management of Industrials.

It is intended that, with effect from the Effective Date, each of the non-executive members of the Industrials Board shall resign from his or her office as a director of Industrials.

Existing rights and pensions

Bidco confirms that, following the Acquisition becoming effective, the existing contractual and statutory employment rights, including in relation to pension schemes, of all of Industrials' management and employees will be fully safeguarded in accordance with applicable law and the Co-Operation Agreement.

Industrials operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Bidco does not intend to make any changes to the current employer pension contribution arrangements, the accrual of benefits for existing members or the rights of admission of new members under the pension scheme.

The Acquisition will affect participants in the Industrials Share Plans. The existing rights of those participants will be fully safeguarded in accordance with applicable law and contractual requirements. Further details of this are set out in paragraph 8 below.

Headquarters, locations, fixed assets and research and development

Bidco intends to retain Industrials' existing head office at 3rd floor, 180 Great Portland St, London W1W 5QZ and regional office at First Floor, 2 Stockport Exchange, Railway Road, Stockport, SK4 1BS.

Bidco has no intention to redeploy Industrials' fixed asset base. Industrials has confirmed that it has no research and development function, and Bidco has no plans in this regard.

R16.2(a)

Management incentive arrangements

Following the Acquisition becoming Effective, Bidco intends to review the management, governance and incentive structure of Industrials. Bidco has not entered into, and has not had any, discussions on the terms of any form of incentivisation arrangements with members of Industrials' management. Following the Effective Date, Bidco may have discussions and enter into appropriate arrangements for certain members of the Industrials' management team.

Trading Facilities

Industrials Shares are currently listed on the Official List and admitted to trading on the Main Market and as a secondary listing and admission on the Main Board of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. Subject to the Scheme becoming effective, applications will be made to:

  • (a) the FCA and the London Stock Exchange respectively for the cancellation of the listing of Industrials Shares on the Official List and the cancellation of trading of Industrials Shares on the Main Market;
  • (b) Finsurv and the Johannesburg Stock Exchange for the cancellation of the listing of Industrials Shares on the Main Board; and
  • (c) The International Stock Exchange Authority Limited for the shares of Topco (which shall be, from the Effective Date, the sole limited partner of Bidco, and subject to the Scheme being effective, the indirect owner of Industrials) to be admitted to trading on the Official List of The International Stock Exchange (or another "recognised stock exchange" (as defined in section 1137 of the Corporation Tax Act 2020)) in order to achieve REIT status for Topco.

None of the statements in this paragraph 7 are "post-offer undertakings" for the purposes of Rule 19.5 of the Takeover Code.

Views of Industrials' board

In considering the recommendation of the Acquisition to Industrials Shareholders, the Industrials Directors have given due consideration to Bidco's intentions for the business, management, employees and locations of business of Industrials.

R25.2(a) (i) & (ii)

176530 Proof 4 Friday, May 5, 2023 15:49

The Industrials Directors welcome Bidco's intention that, following completion of the Acquisition, the existing contractual and statutory employment rights, including in relation to pensions, of all Industrials' management and employees will be fully safeguarded in accordance with applicable law.

8. Industrials Share Plans

Participants in the Industrials Share Plans will be contacted regarding the effect of the Acquisition on their rights under the Industrials Share Plans and an appropriate proposal will be made to such participants which reflects those rights. Details of the impact of the Scheme on each of the Industrials Share Plans and the proposals will be sent to participants simultaneously with this document.

A summary of the effect of the Scheme on Industrials Share Plans is set out below. In the event of any conflict between the summary set out below and the rules of the relevant Industrials Share Plan and/or the communications to participants in the Industrials Share Plans regarding the effect of the Scheme on their rights under the Industrials Share Plans, and the details of the arrangements applicable to them (the "Share Plan Notices"), the rules of the relevant Industrials Share Plan or the terms of the Share Plan Notices (as the case may be) will prevail.

Industrials LTIP

Awards granted under the Industrials LTIPs which have not lapsed, and would not otherwise vest, prior to the date on which the Court sanctions the Scheme will (as a consequence of the Acquisition and in accordance with the rules of the Industrials LTIPs) vest on the date on which the Court sanctions the Scheme. Market value options will vest in full. The extent to which nil-cost options will vest has been determined by the Industrials remuneration committee, taking into account the extent to which applicable performance targets (if any) or any other conditions have been or would be likely to have been satisfied as well as to the appropriateness of any time pro-rating. The balance of such nil-cost options will lapse. Awards vesting under the Industrials LTIPs will accrue dividend equivalents in the ordinary course.

Industrials STIP

Awards granted under the Industrials STIP which have not lapsed, and would not otherwise vest, prior to the date on which the Court sanctions the Scheme will (as a consequence of the Acquisition and in accordance with the rules of the Industrials STIP) vest in full on the date on which the Court sanctions the Scheme. Awards vesting under the Industrials STIP will accrue dividend equivalents in the ordinary course.

Industrials SAYE Plan

Options granted under the Industrials SAYE Plan which would not otherwise become exercisable prior to the Effective Date will (as a consequence of the Acquisition and in accordance with participants' contractual rights under the SAYE) be exercisable in the 20 day period following the Effective Date, and will be exercisable over less than the full number of Industrials Shares than would otherwise be the case on maturity of the related savings contracts. Option holders will be able to elect in advance to exercise their options under the SAYE on the Effective Date.

9. The Industrials Directors and the effect of the Scheme on their interests

The names of the Industrials Directors and the details of their interests in Industrials Shares are set out in paragraphs 2 and 3 of Part 7 of this document. Industrials Shares held by the Industrials Directors as at the Scheme Record Time will be subject to the Scheme.

At the close of business on the Disclosure Date (as defined in paragraph 3 of Part 7 of this document), the Industrials Directors (together with their Interested Persons, as defined in paragraph 3 of Part 7 of this document) were interested in, in total, 5,635,874 Industrials Shares, amounting to 1.89% of the issued share capital (excluding shares under option and treasury shares).

Details of irrevocable undertakings given by the Industrials Directors and certain of their connected persons who own or control Industrials Shares, including details of the circumstances in which they will cease to be binding, are set out in paragraph 4 of Part 7 of this document. Particulars of the service contracts (including termination provisions) and letters of appointment of the Industrials Directors are set out in paragraph 6 of Part 7 of this document.

176530 Proof 4 Friday, May 5, 2023 15:49

For the purposes of section 108(2) of the Companies Law, save as disclosed in this document, the effect of the Scheme on such interests of the Industrials Directors does not differ from its effect on the like interests of any other holder of Scheme Shares.

No debentures have been issued in respect of Industrials and there are therefore no trustees of any deed securing the issuance of any debentures in respect of Industrials and no explanation is required to be given for the purposes of section 108(3) of the Companies Law.

10. Delisting and re-registration of the Industrials Shares

Prior to the Scheme becoming Effective, the following applications will be made:

  • for the cancellation of the primary listing of Industrials Shares on the Official List and for the cancellation of trading of the Industrials Shares on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange;
  • for the cancellation of the secondary listing of Industrials Shares on the Main Board of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange; and
  • for the shares of Topco (which shall be, from the Effective Date, the sole limited partner of Bidco, and subject to the Scheme being effective, the indirect owner of Industrials) to be admitted to trading on the Official List of The International Stock Exchange (or another "recognised stock exchange" (as defined in section 1137 of the Corporation Tax Act 2020)) in order to achieve REIT status for Topco,

in each case to take effect from or shortly after the Effective Date.

The last day of dealings in Industrials Shares on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange and the Johannesburg Stock Exchange is expected to be the Business Day immediately prior to the Effective Date, following which all Industrials Shares will be suspended from the Official List and from trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange, and Industrials Shares will be disabled in CREST and also suspended from trading on the Main Board of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and disabled in the STRATE system.

It is further intended that an application will be made to The International Stock Exchange Authority Limited for the shares of Topco (which shall be, from the Effective Date, the sole limited partner of Bidco, and subject to the Scheme being effective, the indirect owner of Industrials) to be admitted to trading on the Official List of The International Stock Exchange (or another "recognised stock exchange" (as defined in section 1137 of the Corporation Tax Act 2020)) in order to achieve REIT status for Topco, which admission is expected to take place on or shortly before the Effective Date.

On the Effective Date, share certificates in respect of Industrials Shares shall cease to be valid and entitlements to Industrials Shares held within the CREST or STRATE systems shall be cancelled.

11. Overseas Shareholders

The implications of the Scheme for Overseas Shareholders may be affected by the laws of their relevant jurisdictions. Overseas Shareholders should inform themselves about and observe any applicable legal requirements. It is the responsibility of each Overseas Shareholder to satisfy himself as to the full observance of the laws of the relevant jurisdiction in connection with the Scheme, including the obtaining of any governmental, exchange control or other consents which may be required, or the compliance with other necessary formalities which are required to be observed and the payment of any issue, transfer or other taxes due in such jurisdiction.

This document does not constitute an offer to sell or issue or the solicitation of an offer to buy or subscribe for shares in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful.

This document has been prepared for the purposes of complying with English law, Guernsey law, the Takeover Code, requirements of the Panel, the London Stock Exchange, the Listing Rules, the FCA, the South African Financial Markets Act 19 of 2012 (as amended) and the JSE Listings Requirements and the information disclosed may not be the same as that which would have been disclosed if this document had been prepared in accordance with the laws of any other jurisdiction.

12. United Kingdom, Guernsey and South African Taxation

A summary of relevant UK, Guernsey and South African taxation, which is intended as a general guide only, is set out in paragraph 14 of Part 7 of this document. If you are in any doubt as to your tax position, or you are subject to taxation in a jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom, Guernsey and South Africa, you are strongly advised to consult an appropriate independent professional adviser.

13. Settlement, mandates and communication preferences

Subject to the Scheme becoming Effective, and in accordance with the terms of the Scheme, settlement of the Cash Consideration to which any Scheme Shareholder is entitled will be effected within 14 days of the Effective Date in the manner and subject to what is set out below.

All documents and remittances sent through the post will be sent at the risk of the person(s) entitled to them.

Except with the consent of the Panel, settlement of the Cash Consideration to which any Scheme Shareholder is entitled will be implemented in full in accordance with the terms of the Scheme free of any lien, right of set-off, counterclaim or other analogous right to which Bidco may otherwise be, or claim to be, entitled against such Scheme Shareholder.

R24.12

176530 Proof 4 Friday, May 5, 2023 15:49

(a) Where Scheme Shares are held in certificated form

Where, at the Scheme Record Time, and subject to the remainder of this section, a Scheme Shareholder holds Scheme Shares in certificated form, settlement of the Cash Consideration shall be despatched by cheque or by electronic payment to their mandated bank or building society account as recorded by the Registrars or by such other method as may be approved by the Panel.

In light of ongoing concerns about the reliability of the South African postal system and, where deemed necessary, to enhance the processes by which certificated shareholders will receive the Cash Consideration, it is proposed that cheques will not be mailed to (a) Scheme Shareholders who hold their shares in certificated form and have a registered address on the Guernsey Register in South Africa, (b) Scheme Shareholders who hold their Scheme Shares in certificated form on the South African Register or (c) any other Scheme Shareholder who holds their shares in certificated form where the Company and/or either of the Registrars has identified a verification issue with the information provided for that Scheme Shareholder or any underlying beneficial holders, where the information is required for the purpose of payment of the Cash Consideration to the Scheme Shareholder, which needs to be addressed before payment of the Cash Consideration to such Scheme Shareholder can be made. In these circumstances, the Registrars will, where they hold validated, and verified mandated bank or building society electronic payment details for such Scheme Shareholder, despatch payment to them by way of electronic payment to their mandated bank or building society or, where they do not have such details, hold the Cash Consideration on trust for such Scheme Shareholders and engage with each of them to verify their identity and payment details before payment of the Cash Consideration is made to them (whether by way of electronic payment or, if requested, cheque (in the latter case only in respect of such Scheme Shareholders who do not have a registered address on the Register in South Africa). In addition and without prejudice to the foregoing, no electronic payment shall be made to any Scheme Shareholder where the Company and/or the Registrars have been unable to validate the electronic payment details to the satisfaction of the Company and/or the Registrars. The Registrars shall also have the power to withhold any Cash Consideration payable to any Scheme Shareholder where either the Company and/or either of the Registrars believe that there is a verification issue with the information provided for that Scheme Shareholder or any underlying beneficial holders, where the information is required for the purpose of payment of the Cash Consideration to the Scheme Shareholder. Further details of such trust arrangement are set out in paragraph 4 in Part 3 below.

Subject to the above, all deliveries of cheques required to be made pursuant to the Scheme shall be effected by posting them no later than 14 days after the Effective Date by first class post or by such other method as may be approved by the Panel, addressed to the persons entitled to them at their respective addresses as appearing in the Register at the Scheme Record Time (or, in the case of joint holders, at the address of that one of the joint holders whose name stands first in the Register in respect of such joint holding at such time) and neither Industrials nor Bidco (nor any of their respective nominees or agents) shall be responsible for any loss or delay in the transmission of cheques sent in this way.

176530 Proof 4 Friday, May 5, 2023 15:49

All Cash Consideration due to Scheme Shareholders registered on the Guernsey Register shall be paid in pounds sterling and, in the case of a cheque, drawn on a UK clearing bank or by electronic payment to their mandated bank or building society account as recorded by the Guernsey Registrar.

In the case of Scheme Shareholders on the Guernsey Register, all cheques shall be made payable to the holder (except that, in the case of joint holders, Bidco reserves the right to make cheques payable to the joint holder whose name stands first in the Register in respect of such joint holding at the Scheme Record Time) and the encashment of any such cheque shall be a complete discharge to Bidco for the obligation to pay the monies represented thereby. As noted above, no cheques will be issued or paid to (a) Scheme Shareholders who hold their shares in certificated form and have a registered address on the Guernsey Register in South Africa, (b) Scheme Shareholders who hold their Scheme Shares in certificated form on the South African Register or (c) any other Scheme Shareholder who holds their shares in certificated form where the Company and/or either of the Registrars has identified a verification issue. The Cash Consideration due to such Scheme Shareholders will be held in trust by the Registrars on behalf of such Scheme Shareholder for a period of twelve years from the Effective Date, after which time if it remains unclaimed for any reason the Cash Consideration will be forfeited and cease to remain owing by Bidco or Industrials (or the Guernsey Registrar) and shall thenceforth belong to Bidco (with any interest accruing being for the benefit of Bidco). For the avoidance of doubt, no interest will accrue for the benefit of Scheme Shareholders on the Cash Consideration.

(b) Where Scheme Shares are held in uncertificated or dematerialised form (that is, in CREST or the STRATE system)

Where, at the Scheme Record Time, a Scheme Shareholder holds Scheme Shares in uncertificated or dematerialised form, the payment of Cash Consideration to which:

  • (i) CREST shareholders are entitled, shall be effected through CREST by Bidco instructing (or procuring the instruction of) Euroclear to create a CREST assured payment obligation in accordance with the CREST assured payment arrangements in favour of the appropriate CREST account through which the relevant Scheme Shareholder holds those uncertificated Scheme Shares in respect of the Cash Consideration due to that Scheme Shareholder; or
  • (ii) STRATE shareholders are entitled, shall be effected through the STRATE system by Bidco instructing (or procuring the instruction of) STRATE or the South African Registrar (as applicable) to create a STRATE system assured payment obligation in accordance with the STRATE system assured payment arrangements in favour of the appropriate STRATE account through which the relevant Scheme Shareholder holds those dematerialised Scheme Shares in respect of the Cash Consideration due to that Scheme Shareholder, with such Cash Consideration having been converted into Rand at the GBP/Rand Exchange Rate.

The instruction by (or on behalf of) Bidco to create an assured payment arrangement (whether under CREST or the STRATE system) shall be a complete discharge of Bidco's obligations under the Scheme with reference to payments through CREST or the STRATE system (as relevant).

The CREST payment obligations set out above will be created within 14 days after the Effective Date. As from the Effective Date, each holding of Industrials Shares credited to any stock account in CREST will be disabled and all Industrials Shares will be removed from CREST in due course thereafter.

The STRATE payment obligations set out above will be settled within five days after the Effective Date. As from the Effective Date, each holding of Industrials Shares credited to any stock account in the STRATE system will be disabled and all Industrials Shares will be removed from the STRATE system on the business day following settlement of the STRATE payment obligations.

176530 Proof 4 Friday, May 5, 2023 15:49

Bidco reserves the right to pay Cash Consideration to all or any relevant CREST or STRATE shareholders at the Scheme Record Time by cheque or electronic payment to their mandated bank or building society account as recorded by the Registrars as set out above if for any reason it wishes to do so.

(c) For all Scheme Shareholders

No electronic payment shall be made to any Scheme Shareholder where the Company and/or the Registrars have been unable to validate the electronic payment details to the satisfaction of the Company and/or the Registrars. The Registrars shall also have the power to withhold any Cash Consideration payable to any Scheme Shareholder where either the Company and/or either of the Registrars believe that there is a verification issue with the information provided for that Scheme Shareholder or any underlying beneficial holders, where the information is required for the purpose of payment of the Cash Consideration to the Scheme Shareholder. Further details of such trust arrangement are set out in paragraph 4 in Part 3 below.

14. The Meetings and the Court Hearing

Before the Court's sanction of the Scheme can be sought, the Scheme will require approval by the Scheme Shareholders at the Court Meeting and the passing of the Resolution by Industrials Shareholders to implement the Scheme at the General Meeting. Notices of the Meetings are set out in Parts 9 and 10 of this document. Shareholders' entitlement to attend and vote at the Meetings and the number of votes which may be cast at them will be determined by reference to the Register at the Scheme Voting Record Time or, if such Meetings are adjourned, on the Register at 6.00 pm London time (7.00 pm SAST) on the day that is two Business Days before the relevant adjourned Meeting. If the Scheme becomes Effective, it will be binding on all Scheme Shareholders including those who did not vote or who voted against the Scheme or the Resolution.

Any Industrials Shares which Bidco or any other member of the Wider Bidco Group (or their respective nominees) may acquire before the Court Meeting are not Scheme Shares and therefore none of Bidco or any other member of the Wider Bidco Group (or their respective nominees) is or will be entitled to vote at the Court Meeting in respect of the Industrials Shares held or acquired by it.

(a) The Court Meeting

You will find in Part 9 of this document the notice of the Court Meeting of the Scheme Shareholders which has been convened at the direction of the Court for the purpose of the Scheme Shareholders considering and, if thought fit, approving the Scheme.

The Court Meeting has been convened for 10.00 am London time (11.00 am SAST) on Wednesday 31 May 2023 at Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP, Governors House, 5 Laurence Pountney Hill, London, EC4R 0BR. At the Court Meeting, voting will be by way of poll and not a show of hands and each Scheme Shareholder present in person or by proxy will be entitled to one vote for each Scheme Share held. The approval required at the Court Meeting is a majority in number of those Scheme Shareholders present and voting, whether in person or by proxy, at the Court Meeting representing not less than 75 per cent. of the votes cast by such Scheme Shareholders.

Scheme Shareholders have the right to raise any objections they may have to the Scheme at the Court Meeting.

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT, FOR THE COURT MEETING, AS MANY VOTES AS POSSIBLE ARE CAST (WHETHER IN PERSON OR BY PROXY) SO THAT THE COURT MAY BE SATISFIED THAT THERE IS A FAIR REPRESENTATION OF THE OPINION OF SCHEME SHAREHOLDERS. YOU ARE THEREFORE STRONGLY URGED TO SIGN AND RETURN YOUR FORMS OF PROXY OR OTHERWISE APPOINT AN ELECTRONIC OR CREST PROXY OR (IF YOU HOLD YOUR SCHEME SHARES ON THE SOUTH AFRICAN REGISTER THROUGH STRATE AND NOT IN YOUR OWN NAME) MAKE CONTACT WITH YOUR CSDP OR BROKER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, AND, IN ANY EVENT SO THE FORM OF PROXY FOR THE COURT MEETING IS RECEIVED BY 10.00 AM LONDON TIME (11.00 AM SAST) ON FRIDAY 26 MAY 2023. A FORM OF PROXY FOR THE COURT MEETING NOT LODGED AT THE RELEVANT TIME MAY BE HANDED IN TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE COURT MEETING OR EMAILED TO AND RECEIVED BY #[email protected] (FOR SCHEME SHAREHOLDERS ON THE GUERNSEY REGISTER) OR [email protected] (FOR SCHEME SHAREHOLDERS ON THE SOUTH AFRICAN REGISTER) BEFORE THE START OF THE COURT MEETING.

176530 Proof 4 Friday, May 5, 2023 15:49

(b) The General Meeting

In addition to the Court Meeting, the General Meeting has been convened at Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP, Governors House, 5 Laurence Pountney Hill, London, EC4R 0BR at 10.15 am London time (11.15 am SAST) on Wednesday 31 May 2023 (or as soon thereafter as the Court Meeting is concluded or adjourned) to consider and, if thought fit, pass the Resolution to:

  • (i) authorise the Industrials Directors to take all actions as they may consider necessary or appropriate to give effect to the Scheme; and
  • (ii) approve certain amendments to the Articles to ensure that, subject to the Scheme becoming Effective, any Industrials Shares issued to any person (other than to Bidco and/or its nominees) at or after the Scheme Record Time will be compulsorily acquired by, or to the order of, Bidco, in consideration of (subject to certain terms and conditions) the payment of Cash Consideration on the same basis as under the Scheme. The proposed amendments to the Articles are set out in full in the notice of the General Meeting in Part 10 of this document.

Voting on the Resolution will be held by way of poll and not a show of hands and each Industrials Shareholder present in person or by proxy will be entitled to one vote for every Industrials Share held as at the Scheme Voting Record Time. The resolution to approve the Scheme and certain amendments to the Articles (detailed in (i) and (ii) above) will be a special resolution which requires a vote in favour of not less than 75 per cent. of the votes cast either in person or by proxy.

You will find the notice of the General Meeting set out in Part 10 of this document. The quorum for the General Meeting will be three or more Industrials Shareholders present in person or by proxy.

(c) The Court Hearing

Under the Companies Law, the Scheme also requires the sanction of the Court. The Court Hearing to sanction the Scheme is currently expected to be held on Tuesday 20 June 2023, subject to the prior satisfaction or waiver of the other Conditions set out in Part 4 of this document.

All Scheme Shareholders are entitled to attend the Court Hearing in person or to be represented by counsel to support or oppose the sanctioning of the Scheme.

Bidco has confirmed that, subject to the prior satisfaction or, where applicable, waiver of the other Conditions set out in Part 4 of this document it will be represented by counsel at the Court Hearing so as to consent to the Scheme and to undertake to the Court to be bound by the Scheme.

The Scheme will become Effective upon delivery to the Guernsey Registry of a copy of the Scheme Court Order for registration (which must occur within 7 days after the making of the Scheme Court Order in accordance with the Companies Law). This is presently expected to occur on the Business Day immediately following the Court Hearing to sanction the Scheme.

(d) Modifications to the Scheme

The Scheme contains a provision for Industrials and Bidco to consent on behalf of all persons affected to any modification of, or addition to, the Scheme or to any condition approved or imposed by the Court. The Court would be unlikely to approve any modification of, or additions to, or impose a condition to the Scheme which might be material to the interests of the Scheme Shareholders, unless Scheme Shareholders were informed of any modification, addition or condition.

176530 Proof 4 Friday, May 5, 2023 15:49

It would be a matter for the Court to decide, in its discretion, whether or not a further meeting of Scheme Shareholders should be held in these circumstances. Similarly, if a modification, addition or condition is put forward which in the opinion of the Industrials Directors is of such a nature or importance that it requires the consent of Scheme Shareholders at a further meeting, the Industrials Directors will not take the necessary steps to enable the Scheme to become Effective unless and until such consent is obtained. For the avoidance of doubt, no modification may be made to this Scheme once it has taken effect.

(e) Conditions of the Scheme

The implementation of the Scheme is conditional upon satisfaction or, where applicable, waiver of the Conditions, which are set out in full in Part 4 of this document and it is important that Industrials Shareholders read Part 4 in its entirety. The Conditions include, amongst others:

  • the Court Meeting being held on or before the 22nd day after the expected date of such hearing, which is expected to be held on Wednesday 31 May 2023 (or such later date as may be agreed by Bidco and Industrials and (if required) the Court may allow);
  • the General Meeting being held on or before the 22nd day after the expected date of such hearing, which is expected to be held on Wednesday 31 May 2023 (or such later date as may be agreed by Bidco and Industrials);
  • the Scheme being approved by a majority in number of the Scheme Shareholders who are present, entitled to vote and vote at the Court Meeting, or at any adjournment thereof, either in person or by proxy, representing not less than 75 per cent. of the votes cast by such Scheme Shareholders;
  • the Resolution being duly passed by the requisite majority of the Industrials Shareholders at the General Meeting, or at any adjournment thereof;
  • the Court Hearing being held by the 22nd day after the expected date of such hearing, which is expected to be held on Tuesday 20 June 2023 (or such later date as may be agreed by Industrials and Bidco and (if required) the Court may allow);
  • the sanction of the Scheme by the Court (with or without modifications, on terms agreed by Industrials and Bidco);
  • the Scheme becoming Effective by the Long Stop Date or such later date (if any) as Industrials and Bidco may agree and (if required) the Court may allow; and
  • delivery of a copy of the Scheme Court Order within seven days of the date of the Scheme Court Order to the Guernsey Registry.

If the Scheme becomes Effective, it will be binding on all Scheme Shareholders irrespective of whether or not they attended or voted in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting or in favour of the Resolution at the General Meeting. If the Scheme does not become Effective by the Long Stop Date (or such later date (if any) as Industrials and Bidco may agree and the Court may allow), the Scheme will not be implemented and the Acquisition will not proceed.

S.8

15. Alternative means of implementing the Acquisition

Bidco reserves the right to elect, with the consent of the Panel (where necessary), and subject to the terms and conditions of the Co-Operation Agreement, to implement the Acquisition by way of a Takeover Offer (a "Switch"). In the event of a Switch:

  • (i) the acceptance condition that will apply to the Takeover Offer shall be determined by Bidco and, in the event of a Switch agreed with Industrials, shall be set at 90 per cent. of the Industrials Shares or such lesser percentage as may be agreed between Bidco and Industrials in writing after (to the extent necessary) consultation with the Panel, in each case being more than 50 per cent. of the Industrials Shares, and Bidco shall ensure that the only conditions of the Takeover Offer shall be the conditions set out in Part A of Part 4 in this document (subject to replacing Condition 1 therein with the acceptance condition referred to above). In all other respects, in the event of a Switch, the Acquisition shall be implemented on substantially the same terms, so far as applicable, as those which would apply to a Scheme, subject to appropriate modifications or amendments which may be required by the Panel or which are necessary as a result of such Switch; and
  • (ii) Bidco shall ensure that the Takeover Offer remains open for acceptances for at least 21 days following the Takeover Offer becoming or being declared unconditional.

If the Acquisition is effected by way of a Takeover Offer and such Takeover Offer becomes or is declared unconditional in all respects and sufficient acceptances are received, Bidco intends to apply the provisions of Part XVIII of the Companies Law to compulsorily acquire any outstanding Industrials Shares to which such Takeover Offer relates, and for the listings of Industrials Shares on the London Stock Exchange and Johannesburg Stock Exchange to be cancelled.

16. Return of documents of title

If the Scheme is withdrawn or lapses, documents of title submitted and other documents lodged with either Form of Proxy will be returned to the relevant Industrials Shareholder as soon as practicable and in any event within 14 days of such lapse or withdrawal.

All Industrials Shareholders on the South African Register who hold their Industrial Shares through STRATE and not in their own names should make contact with their CSDP or broker and furnish their CSDP or broker with their voting instructions in the manner and by the cut-off time stipulated by their CSDP or broker.

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT, FOR THE COURT MEETING, AS MANY VOTES AS POSSIBLE ARE CAST (WHETHER IN PERSON OR BY PROXY) SO THAT THE COURT MAY BE SATISFIED THAT THERE IS A FAIR REPRESENTATION OF THE OPINION OF SCHEME SHAREHOLDERS. YOU ARE THEREFORE STRONGLY URGED TO EITHER SIGN AND RETURN YOUR FORMS OF PROXY (IF PROVIDED), APPOINT AN ELECTRONIC OR CREST PROXY OR (IF YOU HOLD YOUR SCHEME SHARES ON THE SOUTH AFRICAN REGISTER THROUGH STRATE AND NOT IN YOUR OWN NAME) MAKE CONTACT WITH YOUR CSDP OR BROKER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

An Industrials Shareholder may appoint more than one proxy in respect of the General Meeting and/or the Court Meeting provided that in respect of each Meeting each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to different Industrials Shares held by that Industrials Shareholder.

Industrials Shareholders' attention is drawn to the fact that where they return Forms of Proxy without denoting their voting preference, the proxy will vote or abstain from voting in their discretion.

(a) Sending Forms of Proxy by post, by hand or by email for Industrials Shareholders on the Guernsey Register

Whether or not you plan to attend either or both of the Meetings, please complete and sign each of the accompanying Forms of Proxy (if provided) and return them in accordance with the instructions printed thereon to Computershare Investor Services (Guernsey) Limited at c/o The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol BS99 6ZY or email them to #[email protected] as soon as possible, but in any event, so as to be received (during normal business hours) by 10.00 am London time (11.00 am SAST) on Friday 26 May 2023 in the case of the Court Meeting and by 10.15 am London time (11.15 am SAST) on Friday 26 May 2023 in the case of the General Meeting (or, in the case of adjournment, no later than 48 hours (excluding any part of such 48 hour period falling on a non-Business Day) before the time fixed for the holding of the adjourned Meeting).

If the pink Form of Proxy for use at the Court Meeting is not lodged by 10.00 am London time (11.00 am SAST) on Friday 26 May 2023, it may be handed to the chairman of the Court Meeting or emailed to and received by #[email protected] before the start of at the Court Meeting and will still be valid. However, in the case of the General Meeting, unless the blue Form of Proxy is lodged so as to be received by 10.15 am London time (11.00 am SAST) on Friday 26 May 2023, it will be invalid.

The completion and return of a Form of Proxy will not prevent you from attending, speaking and voting at either the Court Meeting or the General Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, in person should you wish to do so and are so entitled.

(b) Electronic appointment of proxies through www.investorcentre.co.uk/eproxy

If you hold your shares on the Guernsey register, you can submit your proxy vote via the internet through the share portal service at www.investorcentre.co.uk/eproxy. To do so, you will need to log on to your share portal account or register for the share portal if you have not already done so. Once registered, you will immediately be able to vote. Proxies submitted via the share portal service must be received by the Guernsey Registrar no later than 48 hours (excluding any part of such 48 hour period falling on a non-Business Day) before the appointed time for the relevant Meeting or, in the case of an adjournment, no later than 48 hours (excluding any part of such 48 hour period falling on a non-Business Day) before the time fixed for the holding of the adjourned meeting.

The completion and return of a Form of Proxy or proxy appointment via the share portal service will not prevent you from attending, speaking and voting in person at the Meetings or any adjournment thereof if you wish to do so and are so entitled.

176530 Proof 4 Friday, May 5, 2023 15:49

(c) Electronic appointment of proxies through CREST for Industrials Shareholders on the Guernsey Register

CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so for the Meetings and any adjournment(s) thereof by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.

In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a "CREST Proxy Instruction") must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear's specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual. The message, regardless of whether it relates to the appointment of a proxy or to an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the issuer's agent ID 3RA50 by no later than 48 hours (excluding any part of such 48 hour period falling on a non-Business Day) before the time fixed for the holding of the meeting or the adjourned meeting. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Applications Host) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.

CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that CREST does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider(s), to procure that their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. In this connection, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.

Industrials may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 34(1) of the CREST Regulations.

The completion and return of a CREST Proxy Instruction will not prevent you from attending, speaking and voting in person at the Meetings or any adjournment thereof if you wish to do so and are so entitled.

(d) Industrials Shareholders on the South African Register who hold their Industrials Shares through STRATE and not in their own names

If you hold your Industrials Shares on the South African Register in dematerialised form and not in your own name, you should not complete the Forms of Proxy. In order to vote at or attend the Court Meeting and the General Meeting you should be in contact with your CSDP or broker. If you have not been contacted by your CSDP or broker, it is advisable for you to contact your CSDP or broker immediately and furnish your CSDP or broker with your voting instructions in the manner and by the cut-off time stipulated by your CSDP or broker in terms of the custody agreement between you and your CSDP or broker.

If your CSDP or broker does not obtain voting instructions from you, your CSDP or broker will be obliged to act in accordance with the instructions contained in the custody agreement between you and your CSDP or broker.

Should you wish to attend, speak and vote, or to send a proxy to represent you at the Court Meeting or the General Meeting, you must, in accordance with the custody agreement between you and your CSDP or broker, advise your CSDP or broker. Your CSDP or broker should then issue the necessary letter of representation to you for you or your proxy to attend, speak and vote at the Court Meeting or General Meeting.

(e) Sending Forms of Proxy by post, by hand or by email for Industrials Shareholders on the South African Register who hold their Industrials Shares (i) in certificated form or (ii) through STRATE and in their own names

Whether or not you plan to attend either or both of the Meetings, please complete and sign each of the accompanying Forms of Proxy (if provided) and return them in accordance with the instructions printed thereon to Computershare Investor Services Proprietary Limited, at Rosebank Towers, 15 Biermann Avenue, Rosebank 2196, South Africa or at Private Bag X9000, Saxonwold, 2132, South Africa or email them to [email protected] as soon as possible, but in any event, so as to be received (during normal business hours) by 10.00 am London time (11.00 am SAST) on Friday 26 May 2023 in the case of the Court Meeting and by 10.15 am London time (11.15 am SAST) on Friday 26 May 2023 in the case of the General Meeting (or, in the case of adjournment, no later than 48 hours (excluding any part of such 48 hour period falling on a non-Business Day) before the time fixed for the holding of the adjourned Meeting).

If the yellow Form of Proxy for use at the Court Meeting is not lodged by 10.00 am London time (11.00 am SAST) on Friday 26 May 2023, it may be handed to the chairman of the Court Meeting or emailed to and received by [email protected] before the start of at the Court Meeting and will still be valid. However, in the case of the General Meeting, unless the green Form of Proxy is lodged so as to be received by 10.15 am London time (11.00 am SAST) on Friday 26 May 2023, it will be invalid.

The completion and return of a Form of Proxy will not prevent you from attending, speaking and voting at either the Court Meeting or the General Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, in person should you wish to do so and are so entitled.

  • (c) From the Effective Date and pending the registration of the transfer of the Scheme Shares pursuant to this Scheme, each Scheme Shareholder irrevocably:
    • (i) appoints Bidco (and/or its nominee(s)) as their attorney and/or agent and/or otherwise to exercise on its behalf (in place of and to the exclusion of the relevant Scheme Shareholder) any voting rights attached to the Scheme Shares and any or all rights and privileges (including the right to requisition the convening of a general meeting of Industrials) attaching to the Scheme Shares;

R24.3(d)(v) S.10

  • (b) If the price per Scheme Share payable by Bidco is automatically reduced (or Bidco exercises its rights such that it is reduced) in accordance with Clause 2(a) 1 above by the amount of any dividend (or other distribution or return of capital):
    • (i) the Scheme Shareholders (appearing on the Register at the Scheme Record Time as determined by the directors of the Company) shall be entitled to receive and retain that dividend (or other distribution or return of capital) in respect of the Scheme Shares they hold;
    • (ii) any reference in this Scheme to the consideration payable under the Scheme shall be deemed a reference to the price per Scheme Share as so reduced; and
    • (iii) such reduction shall not require Bidco to provide notice to the Scheme Shareholders or the Company and shall not be regarded as constituting any revision or variation of the terms of this Scheme.
  • (c) To the extent that any such dividend and/or other distribution and/or other return of capital is declared, made or paid in respect of Industrials Shares and is (i) transferred pursuant to the Acquisition on a basis which entitles Bidco to receive and retain the dividend and/or other distribution and/or other return of capital or (ii) cancelled, the Cash Consideration will not be subject to change in accordance with Clause 2(a).

In addition and without prejudice to the foregoing, no electronic payment shall be made to any Scheme Shareholder where the Company and/or the Registrars have been unable to validate the electronic payment details to the satisfaction of the Company and/or the Registrars.

R13.6

  • (ii) in whole or in part, all or any of Conditions listed in Part A above, except for Conditions 1.1(i), 1.2(i) and 1.3(i) which cannot be waived.
    1. Conditions 2(a) to (g) (inclusive) must each be fulfilled, determined by Bidco to be or to remain satisfied or (if capable of waiver) be waived by Bidco by no later than 11.59 pm on the date immediately preceding the date of the Court Hearing (or any adjournment thereof), failing which the Acquisition will lapse. Bidco shall be under no obligation to waive or treat as satisfied any of the Conditions that it is entitled (with the consent of the Panel) to invoke, by a date earlier than the latest date specified above for the fulfilment or waiver thereof, notwithstanding that the other Conditions may at such earlier date have been waived or fulfilled and that there are at such earlier date no circumstances indicating that any of such Conditions may not be capable of fulfilment.
    1. Under Rule 13.5(a) of the Takeover Code, Bidco may only invoke a Condition to the Acquisition so as to cause the Acquisition not to proceed, to lapse or to be withdrawn with the consent of the Panel. The Panel will normally only give its consent if the circumstances which give rise to the right to invoke the Condition are of material significance to Bidco in the context of the Acquisition. This will be judged by reference to the facts of each case at the time that the relevant circumstances arise. The Conditions contained in paragraph 1 of Part A of this Part and, if applicable, any acceptance condition if the Acquisition is implemented by means of a Takeover Offer, are not subject to this provision of the Takeover Code. Any Condition that is subject to Rule 13.5(a) of the Takeover Code may be waived by BidCo.
    1. Under Rule 13.6 of the Takeover Code, Industrials may not invoke, or cause or permit Bidco to invoke, a Condition unless the circumstances which give rise to the right to invoke the Condition are of material significance to Industrials Shareholders in the context of the Acquisition.
    1. If Bidco is required by the Panel to make an offer for Industrials Shares under the provisions of Rule 9 of the Takeover Code, Bidco may make such alterations to any of the above Conditions and terms of the Acquisition as are necessary to comply with the provisions of that Rule.
    1. Bidco shall be under no obligation to waive (if capable of waiver), to determine to be or remain satisfied or to treat as fulfilled any of Conditions 2(a) to (g) (inclusive) of Part A above by a date earlier than the latest date for the fulfilment of that Condition notwithstanding that the other Conditions may at such earlier date have been waived or fulfilled and that there are at such earlier date no circumstances indicating that any of such Conditions may not be capable of fulfilment.
    1. The Industrials Shares to be acquired under the Acquisition shall be acquired fully paid and free from all liens, equities, charges, encumbrances, options, rights of pre-emption and any other third party rights and interests of any nature and together with all rights attaching or accruing to them after the Scheme becomes effective in accordance with its terms, including, without limitation, voting rights and the right to receive and retain in full all dividends and other distributions (if any) declared, made or paid, or any other return of capital (whether by reduction of share capital or share premium account or otherwise) made, on or after the Effective Date.
    1. If, on or after the date of the Announcement, any dividend and/or other distribution and/or other return of capital is declared, paid or made or becomes payable by Industrials in respect of the Industrials Shares (in each case with a record date prior to the Effective Date), (without prejudice to any right of Bidco, with the consent of the Panel, to invoke Condition 2(e)(ii) in Part A above) the Cash Consideration will automatically be reduced by the amount equal to such dividend

and/or distribution and/or other return of capital and accordingly reduce the consideration payable under the terms of the Acquisition (other than in circumstances where Bidco is permitted to increase the Final Offer Price, in which case the Cash Consideration shall not automatically be reduced, but Bidco reserves the right to elect to reduce the Cash Consideration by such amount). Where the Cash Consideration is so reduced, the relevant eligible Industrials Shareholders will be entitled to receive and retain such dividend and/or distribution and/or other return of capital declared, paid or made and any reference in the Announcement to the consideration payable under the terms of the Acquisition shall be deemed to be a reference to the consideration as so reduced.

176530 Proof 4 Friday, May 5, 2023 15:48

To the extent that such a dividend and/or other distribution and/or other return of capital has been declared, paid, made or is payable, and is or shall be: (i) transferred pursuant to the Acquisition on a basis which entitles Bidco to receive the dividend or distribution and to retain it; or (ii) cancelled, the consideration payable under the terms of the Acquisition shall not be subject to change in accordance with this paragraph.

Furthermore, Bidco reserves the right to reduce the consideration payable under the Acquisition in respect of the Industrials Shares in such circumstances as are, and by such amount as is, permitted by the Panel.

Any reduction of the consideration payable under the Acquisition referred to in this paragraph shall be the subject of an announcement and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be regarded as constituting any revision or variation of the Acquisition.

    1. Bidco reserves the right to elect to implement the Acquisition by way of a Takeover Offer (a "Switch") as an alternative to the Scheme (subject to the Panel's consent and the terms of the Co-Operation Agreement). In the event of a Switch, the acceptance condition that will apply to the Takeover Offer shall be determined by Bidco and, in the event of a Switch agreed with Industrials, shall be set at 90 per cent. of the Industrials Shares or such lesser percentage as may be agreed between Bidco and Industrials in writing after (to the extent necessary) consultation with the Panel, in each case being more than 50 per cent. of the Industrials Shares, and Bidco shall ensure that the only conditions of the Takeover Offer shall be the conditions set out in Part A of Part 4 in this document (subject to replacing Condition 1 therein with the acceptance condition referred to above). In all other respects, in the event of a Switch, the Acquisition shall be implemented on substantially the same terms, so far as applicable, as those which would apply to a Scheme, subject to appropriate modifications or amendments which may be required by the Panel or which are necessary as a result of such Switch.
    1. The availability of the Acquisition to persons not resident in the United Kingdom, South Africa or Guernsey may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions. Persons who are not resident in the United Kingdom, South Africa or Guernsey should inform themselves about and observe any applicable requirements.
    1. The Acquisition is not being made, directly or indirectly, in, into or from, or by use of the mails of, or by any means of instrumentality (including, but not limited to, facsimile, e-mail or other electronic transmission, telex or telephone) of interstate or foreign commerce of, or of any facility of a national, state or other securities exchange of, any jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws of that jurisdiction.
    1. The Scheme will be governed by the laws of Guernsey and be subject to the jurisdiction of the Court and to the conditions and further terms set out in this document. The Acquisition will also be subject to the applicable requirements of the Companies Law, the Court, the Financial Conduct Authority, the London Stock Exchange, the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, the Panel, the Takeover Code, the Listing Rules and the JSE Listings Requirements.

Each of the Conditions shall be regarded as a separate Condition and shall not be limited by reference to any other Condition.

Pursuant to a deed of amendment and restatement dated 21 May 2021 and made between the Stenprop Borrower, each Stenprop Guarantors and Investec Bank plc in various capacities (including as arranger, agent, security agent and lender) (the "Stenprop 2021 Deed of Amendment and Restatement"), the Original Stenprop Facility Agreement has been amended and restated. The Original Stenprop Facility Agreement as amended by the Stenprop 2021 Deed of Amendment and Restatement being the "Stenprop Facility Agreement".

Pursuant to the Stenprop 2021 Deed of Amendment and Restatement, the parties have agreed that the terms of the Original Stenprop Facility Agreement shall be amended and restated. The below sets out the terms of the Stenprop Facility Agreement following the Stenprop 2021 Deed of Amendment and Restatement.

Under the terms of the Stenprop Facility Agreement a sterling facility in an aggregate amount not exceeding £30,000,000 has been made available to the Stenprop Borrowers. The facility is split into two tranches, (i) a sterling revolving facility in an aggregate amount not exceeding £30,000,000 ("Stenprop Tranche A Facility") and (ii) a sterling term facility ("Stenprop Tranche B Facility"). The original commitment made available under the Stenprop Tranche B Facility was £20,000,000 but it is our understanding that the Stenprop Tranche B Facility was repaid prior to the Stenprop 2021 Deed of Amendment and Restatement and the commitment made available under the Stenprop Tranche B Facility has been reduced to £0. Stenprop Tranche A Facility and Stenprop Tranche B Facility, together being the "Stenprop Facilities".

176530 Proof 4 Friday, May 5, 2023 15:46

The purpose of the facility made available under Stenprop Tranche A Facility was to (i) refinance a EUR 31,000,000 bridging facility agreement dated 1 June 2017 and made available to the Stenprop Borrowers by Bellerive SPV5 Limited; (ii) repay part of existing shareholders loans made available by Stenprop Limited to Stenprop (UK) Limited; (iii) the making of loans to each of the Stenprop Borrower's Subsidiaries (as such terms is defined in the Stenprop Facility Agreement); (iv) for capital expenditure in relation to multi-let industrial assets within the group; (v) payment of fees, costs and expenses in connection with the Stenprop Facility Agreement and (vi) the making of a loan to Stenprop Industrials 6 Limited for the purpose of acquiring a portfolio of properties known as the "Pegasus Portfolio of Properties" being 23 multi-let industrial properties to be acquired by Stenprop Industrials 6 Limited.

The purpose of the facility made available under the Stenprop Tranche B Facility was to allow for the making of a loan to Stenprop Industrials 6 Limited for the purpose of acquiring the "Pegasus Portfolio Properties", which are more particularly described in the paragraph above.

Both Stenprop Facilities are repayable in full on the "Repayment Date", defined as the earlier to occur of (i) the date falling three business days after the date on which a Prepayment Notice is delivered and (ii) the relevant Termination Date. The Stenprop Tranche A Facility Termination Date is the date falling 12 months after the second amendment and restatement date, therefore 21 May 2022 and the Stenprop Tranche B Facility Termination Date was 31 March 2019. All Stenprop Facilities have now been repaid in full.

Notwithstanding the above, under the terms of the Stenprop Facility Agreement, Investec Bank plc in its capacity as lender had the absolute discretion to provide written notice to the Stenprop Borrowers demanding prepayment of all outstanding loans (being the Prepayment Notice) and following the service of such notice the Stenprop Facilities and all outstanding loans will become due and payable.

The interest rate payable for each of the Stenprop Facilities for any day during an interest period is the percentage rate per annum, which is the aggregate of 6.25 per cent. and the compounded reference rate for that day (SONIA).

The following fees were payable in relation to the Stenprop Facilities: (i) an arrangement fee payable in connection with the Stenprop Tranche B Facility in the amount of £50,000 payable on or before the 7 December 2018; (ii) a utilisation fee in the amount of £50,000 payable on the first utilisation date of the Stenprop Tranche B Facility; (iii) a late repayment fee of £100,000 if the Stenprop Borrowers failed to repay the Stenprop Tranche B Facility in full on the termination date for the Stenprop Tranche B Facility (being 31 March 2019) and (iv) an extension fee of £100,000 payable on the second amendment and restatement date (being 21 May 2021).

The Stenprop Facility Agreement includes mandatory prepayment provisions in relation to illegality, whereby the loans will be become due and payable if it becomes unlawful for a lender (or any of its affiliates) to perform any of its obligations as contemplated by the Stenprop Facility Agreement. The Stenprop Facility Agreement also includes a number of mandatory prepayment provisions were the Stenprop Borrowers has received specific funds for example (i) the sale of all of substantially all of the assets of the group and (ii) the proceeds of any disposal permitted by the terms of the Stenprop Facility Agreement.

The Stenprop Facility Agreement allows for voluntary prepayment of any loans made available under the Stenprop Facility Agreement provided that the Stenprop Borrowers gives Investec Bank plc (in its capacity as agent) not less than five business days' notice (or such lesser period as may be agreed by the majority lenders) and provided that such prepayment reduces the loan by a minimum amount of £100,000. The Stenprop Borrowers may also cancel all or any part (if in part, in a minimum amount of £100,000) of the available facility provided that at least two business days' notice (or such lesser period as agreed by the majority lenders) is provided to Investec Bank plc in its capacity as agent.

176530 Proof 4 Friday, May 5, 2023 15:46

The Stenprop Facility Agreement contains customary events of default, representations, covenants and undertakings for a loan agreement of this nature and type including a restriction on the ability to enter into a transaction to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any asset. This restriction does not apply to certain "Permitted Disposals" which includes the disposal of a property provided that any such proceeds are, to the extent permitted by any third party agreements, used in prepayment of the outstanding loans under the Stenprop Facility Agreement.

The Stenprop Facility Agreement also contains customary restrictions on the power of the obligors to assign or transfer their rights and obligations under the finance documents and restrictions on change of control of the Stenprop Borrowers.

Under the terms of the Stenprop Facility Agreement, each Stenprop Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally (jointly and severally) guarantees to each finance party the punctual performance by each other obligor of that obligors obligations under the Stenprop Facility Agreement and any other finance document entered into under or in connection with the Stenprop Facility Agreement and also undertakes that whenever an obligor does not pay any amount when due under or in connection with the finance documents that Stenprop Guarantor shall immediately on demand pay that amount as if it was the principal obligor.

The Stenprop Facility Agreement was secured by the Stenprop Borrowers and Stenprop Guarantors pursuant to various security documents including but not limited to: (i) share security interest agreements; (ii) assignments of subordinated debt; and (iii) security over intra group debts. All security was released following the repayment of the Stenprop Facilities.

The Stenprop Facility Agreement and the Stenprop 2021 Deed of Amendment and Restatement are governed by English law.

176530 Proof 4 Friday, May 5, 2023 15:46

Notwithstanding the paragraph above, no prepayment or cancellation fee shall payable under the Industrial 4 Facility Agreement in various circumstances, including, but not limited to, if (i) the prepayment or cancellation is in respect of the Industrial 4 Tranche A Facility; (ii) if the prepayment or cancellation, when combined with any previous voluntary prepayment and/or cancellation equates to 12.5 per cent. or less of the total commitments (excluding the Industrial 4 Tranche A Facility); (iii) the Loan to Value (as such term is defined in the Industrial 4 Facility Agreement) exceeds 40 per cent.; (iv) in the event that all or any part of the Industrial 4 Tranche B Facility is cancelled within the availability period for that facility and (v) if the prepayment and/or cancellation is part of a refinancing by the Industrial 4 Borrower of any commitment and any such refinance is with the then current lenders and is for an amount not materially less than amount made available by the lenders immediately prior to the refinancing.

The Industrial 4 Facility Agreement includes mandatory prepayment provisions in relation to illegality and change of control, whereby the loans will be become due and payable if it becomes unlawful for a lender (or any of its affiliates) to perform any of its obligations as contemplated by the Industrial 4 Facility Agreement or Stenprop Industrials Holdings Limited ceases to be the legal and beneficial owner of at least 50.1 per cent. of the entire issued share capital of the Industrial 4 Borrower. The Industrial 4 Facility Agreement also includes a number of mandatory prepayment provisions where the Industrial 4 Borrower has received specific funds for example (i) the proceeds of any disposal permitted by the terms of the Industrial 4 Facility Agreement; (ii) any proceeds from any hedging and (iii) any proceeds of all compensation and damages for the compulsory purchase of, or any blight or disturbance affecting, any property.

The Industrial 4 Facility Agreement allows for voluntary prepayment of any loans made available under the Industrial 4 Facility Agreement provided that the Industrial 4 Borrower gives the agent not less than five business days' notice (or such lesser period as may be agreed by the majority lenders) and provided that such prepayment reduces the loan by a minimum amount of £250,000. The Industrial 4 Borrower may also cancel all or any part (if in part, in a minimum amount of £250,000) of the available facility provided that at least five business days' notice (or such lesser period as agreed by the majority lenders) is provided to the agent.

As is customary in the market of the United Kingdom for real estate finance investment facilities of a similar nature to the Industrial 4 Facility Agreement, all net rental income received by the Industrial 4 Borrower together with any amounts payable to the Industrial 4 Borrower under any hedging agreement is required to be paid into a rent account that is charged to the lenders. The Industrial 4 Borrower retains control of the rent account, but required to transfer amounts standing to the credit of the rent account, on or prior to each interest payment date, to an account designated as the debt service account to ensure that such debt service account has a credit balance equal to 110 per cent. of the interest that has accrued under the Industrial 4 Facility Agreement and is payable on that interest payment date. Any surplus amounts standing to the credit of the rent account that are not required to be transferred to the debt service account can be transferred to the general account for use for general purposes as permitted by the Industrial 4 Facility Agreement. If at any time a default or cash trap event has arisen and is continuing, the security agent may take control and operate the rent account in replacement and to the exclusion of the Industrial 4 Borrower.

176530 Proof 4 Friday, May 5, 2023 15:46

The Industrial 4 Facility Agreement contains customary events of default, representations, covenants and undertakings for a loan agreement of this nature and type including a restriction on the ability to enter into a transaction to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any property. This restriction does not apply to certain permitted disposals which includes the disposal of a property provided that (i) no default is continuing or would result from that disposal and (ii) any such proceeds are in the amount as required by the Industrial 4 Facility Agreement and are used in prepayment of the outstanding loans under the Industrial 4 Facility Agreement.

If the Industrial 4 Borrower is in breach of any its obligations to comply with the financial covenants contained within the Industrial 4 Facility Agreement, for example the loan to value exceeds 60 per cent., the Industrial 4 Borrower may 'cure' that breach by (i) prepaying the loans in an amount to ensure compliance with the covenants, or (ii) depositing an amount into such accounts as permitted by the Industrial 4 Facility Agreement as would ensure compliance with such financial covenants.

The Industrial 4 Facility Agreement also contains customary restrictions on the power of the obligors to assign or transfer their rights and obligations under the finance documents and restrictions on change of control of the Industrial 4 Borrower.

The Industrial 4 Facility Agreement is secured by the Industrial 4 Borrower and Stenprop Industrial Holdings Limited pursuant to various security documents including but not limited to: (i) a security agreement which includes a fixed charge over the properties owned by the Industrial 4 Borrower in the England and Wales; (ii) standard securities over any property owned by the Industrial 4 Borrower in Scotland; (iii) an assignation of rental income in relation to any property in Scotland that is the subject of a standard security; (iv) a shareholders security agreement in relation to the shares in the Industrial 4 Borrower and (v) subordinated creditors security agreement in relation to any intra group/shareholder debt made available to the Industrial 4 Borrower.

14. Taxation

The following paragraphs provide summary information on taxation as a guide only and are not a substitute for detailed tax advice. Any Industrials Shareholders who are in any doubt about their tax position, or who are resident for tax purposes outside the UK, Guernsey or South Africa, should contact an appropriate tax adviser.

(a) UK taxation

The summary comments set out below are based on current United Kingdom tax law as applied in England and Wales and what is understood to be HM Revenue & Customs ("HMRC") practice (which may not be binding on HMRC) as at the date of this document, both of which are subject to change, possibly with retrospective effect.

The comments only deal with certain limited aspects of the UK tax treatment of Industrials Shareholders who hold their Industrials Shares as an investment (otherwise than through an individual savings account) and are the absolute beneficial owners of those Industrials Shares. Except where the comments refer specifically to non-UK resident Industrial Shareholders, the comments only apply to Industrial Shareholders who are resident in the UK for tax purposes (and, in the case of individuals, ordinarily resident and domiciled in the UK).

The comments do not apply to certain categories of Industrials Shareholders who may be subject to special tax rules, including (but not limited to) dealers in securities, those subject to UK tax on the remittance basis, those carrying on certain financial or insurance activities, those that are, or hold for the benefit of, collective investment schemes, those subject to specific tax regimes or benefiting from certain reliefs and exemptions, those connected with Industrials and those for whom the shares are employment-related securities (including any participants in the Industrials Share Plans).

UK tax on chargeable gains

A Scheme Shareholder's liability to UK tax on chargeable gains will depend on their particular circumstances.

Scheme Shareholders who transfer their Scheme Shares to Bidco in exchange for Cash Consideration under the Scheme will dispose of their Scheme Shares for the purposes of UK taxation of chargeable gains. Depending on a Scheme Shareholder's specific circumstances (including the Scheme Shareholder's base cost and the availability of any exemptions, reliefs and/or allowable losses), the disposal of the Scheme Shares may give rise to a liability to UK taxation on chargeable gains or an allowable capital loss.

  • (i) Subject to any available exemption or relief, gains made by a Scheme Shareholder who is an individual are currently charged to capital gains tax at a rate of either 10 per cent. or 20 per cent. depending on the total amount of the individual's taxable income and capital gains for the tax year. The capital gains annual exemption (which is £6,000 for the tax year running from 6 April 2023 to 5 April 2024) will also be available to offset any chargeable gain (to the extent it is not otherwise utilised).
  • (ii) Subject to any available exemption or relief, a Scheme Shareholder who is a company will be charged corporation tax on any gain at the corporation tax rate that applies to the company for the relevant accounting period. The current corporation tax rate is 25 per cent. Indexation allowance will be available in respect of the period of ownership of the

Scheme Shares up to 31 December 2017 to reduce any chargeable gain arising on the disposal of a Scheme Shares by a Scheme Shareholder that is a company (but not to create or increase any allowable loss).

176530 Proof 4 Friday, May 5, 2023 15:46

The Finance Act 2019 extended the territorial scope of UK taxation on chargeable gains to certain gains made by a person who is not resident in the UK for tax purposes. Subject to any relief provided by an applicable double tax treaty and depending on their particular circumstances, such a Scheme Shareholder could potentially be liable to UK tax on chargeable gains in the manner outlined above. This is because:

  • (i) Industrials status as a UK REIT means that it meets the definition of a "collective investment vehicle" in the UK's non-resident chargeable gains rules; and
  • (ii) Industrial Shares derive more than 75 per cent. of their value from UK land.

Any such Scheme Shareholder who is not resident in the UK for tax purposes should therefore consult their own tax advisers to determine whether they will have a UK tax liability when disposing of Industrial Shares.

UK stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax ("SDRT")

No UK stamp duty or SDRT will generally be payable by any Scheme Shareholder on the transfer the Scheme Shares to Bidco.

(b) Guernsey taxation

The following paragraphs, which are intended as a general guide only, and do not constitute tax advice, are based on current Guernsey tax legislation and the published practice of the Director of the Revenue Service in Guernsey, which is subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect). They summarise certain limited aspects of the anticipated Guernsey tax treatment of the Acquisition and they relate only to the position of Scheme Shareholders who are the absolute beneficial owners of their Scheme Shares, who hold their Scheme Shares as an investment and who are resident in Guernsey for taxation purposes. They do not apply to certain classes of Scheme Shareholders, such as dealers in securities, insurance companies, collective investment schemes and Scheme Shareholders who have, or are deemed to have, acquired their Scheme Shares by reason of, or in connection with, an office or employment. If you are in any doubt as to your taxation position or if you are subject to tax in any jurisdiction other than Guernsey, you should consult an appropriate professional adviser immediately.

Guernsey currently does not levy taxes upon capital inheritances, capital gains, gifts, capital transfers, wealth, sales or turnover (unless the varying of investments and turning of such investments to account is a business or part of a business), nor are there any estate duties, save for registration fees and an ad valorem duty for a Guernsey grant of representation where the deceased dies leaving assets in Guernsey which require presentation of such a grant.

Guernsey Resident Shareholders

Cash received under the Scheme by Scheme Shareholders will be considered as part of the disposal of Scheme Shares and will not be taxable in Guernsey. Shareholders who are resident in Guernsey may be subject to Guernsey income tax on any dividends paid by Industrials, depending on their own circumstances. No stamp duty or similar duty or tax will be payable in Guernsey by Scheme Shareholders resident in Guernsey as a result of approving the Scheme.

Non-Guernsey Resident Shareholders

Scheme Shareholders resident outside Guernsey will not be subject to any tax in Guernsey in respect of or in connection with the implementation of the Scheme, except where and to the extent that they have a permanent establishment in Guernsey to which the holding of Scheme Shares is attributable.

Anti-Avoidance

Guernsey has a wide-ranging anti-avoidance provision. This provision targets transactions where the effect of the transaction or series of transactions is the avoidance, reduction or deferral of a tax liability. On a discretionary basis, the Director of the Revenue Service in Guernsey will make such adjustments to the tax liability to counteract the effects of the avoidance, reduction or deferral of the tax liability.

176530 Proof 4 Friday, May 5, 2023 15:46

US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA")

Guernsey has implemented FATCA following the entering into of an intergovernmental agreement with the United States regarding the implementation of FATCA (the "US-Guernsey IGA"). Under FATCA and legislation enacted in Guernsey to implement the US-Guernsey IGA, certain disclosure requirements are imposed in respect of certain Scheme Shareholders who are, or are entities that are controlled by one or more natural persons who are, residents or citizens of the United States, unless a relevant exemption applies. Certain due diligence obligations are also imposed. Where applicable, information that needs to be disclosed includes certain information about Scheme Shareholders, their ultimate beneficial owners and/or controllers, and their investment in and returns from Industrials, including resulting from any disposal of Scheme Shares pursuant to the Scheme. FATCA is implemented through Guernsey's domestic legislation in accordance with local guidance that is published in draft form.

Under the US-Guernsey IGA, securities that are "regularly traded" on an established securities market, such as the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange, are not considered financial accounts and are not subject to reporting. For these purposes, Scheme Shares are considered "regularly traded" if there is a meaningful volume of trading with respect to the Scheme Shares on an ongoing basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Scheme Share is not considered to be "regularly traded" and is considered to be a financial account if the Scheme Shareholder is not a financial institution acting as an intermediary. However, it is expected that whilst a Scheme Share is held in uncertificated or dematerialised form within CREST or the STRATE system, the holder of that Scheme Share will likely be a financial institution acting as an intermediary. Scheme Shareholders that own their Scheme Shares through financial intermediaries may be required to provide information to such financial intermediaries in order to allow the financial intermediaries to satisfy their obligations under FATCA.

Organisation For Economic Cooperation and Development's Common Reporting Standard

Under the Common Reporting Standard ("CRS") and legislation enacted in Guernsey to implement the CRS, certain disclosure requirements are imposed in respect of certain Scheme Shareholders who are, or are entities that are controlled by one or more natural persons who are, residents of any of the jurisdictions that have also adopted the CRS, unless a relevant exemption applies. Certain due diligence obligations are also imposed. Where applicable, information that needs to be disclosed includes certain information about Scheme Shareholders, their ultimate beneficial owners and/or controllers, and their investment in and returns from Industrials, including resulting from any disposal of Scheme Shares pursuant to the Scheme. The CRS is implemented through Guernsey's domestic legislation in accordance with local guidance that is supplemented by guidance issued by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development.

Under the CRS, there is currently no reporting exemption for securities that are "regularly traded" on an established securities market, although it is expected that whilst a Scheme Share is held in uncertified form within CREST or the STRATE system, the holder of that Scheme Share will likely be a financial institution acting as an intermediary. Scheme Shareholders that own their Scheme Shares through financial intermediaries may be required to provide information to such financial intermediaries in order to allow the financial intermediaries to satisfy their obligations under the CRS.

Request for Information

Industrials reserves the right to request from any Scheme Shareholder such information as Industrials deems necessary to comply with obligations arising under legislation implementing FATCA or the CRS.

(c) South African taxation

The following is a summary of the South African tax considerations which are relevant for Industrials Shareholders who are to dispose of Scheme Shares. This summary is based on the applicable laws, regulations and the interpretation thereof, in effect in South Africa on the date of this document, all of which are subject to change, including changes that could have a retrospective effect. This summary does not purport to address all tax consequences associated with the Acquisition and is for general information only. In particular, it does not cover the tax position of participants in the Industrials Share Plans. All Industrials Shareholders should consult their tax advisers regarding the particular tax consequences applicable to them in relation to the disposal of their Scheme Shares, including the applicability and effect of other tax laws and possible changes in tax law.

176530 Proof 4 Friday, May 5, 2023 15:46

The summary below only applies to Industrials Shareholders who are resident for tax purposes in South Africa, who hold their Scheme Shares as a capital asset and who are the absolute beneficial owner of both the Scheme Shares and any dividends paid on them. The tax position of certain categories of Scheme Shareholders who are subject to special rules is not considered and it should be noted that they may incur liabilities to South African tax on a different basis to that described below. This includes persons who acquired their Scheme Shares in connection with employment, dealers in securities, insurance companies, collective investment schemes, public benefit organisations and pension/provident funds.

No South African securities transfer tax (STT) will generally be payable by any Scheme Shareholder in respect of their transfer of the Scheme Shares to Bidco, on the basis that STT is not due by (or recoverable from) the transferor of shares.

Receipt of Cash Consideration: Capital gains tax

Implementation of the Acquisition will result in a disposal of the Scheme Shares by the Scheme Shareholders. This disposal will give rise to a capital receipt or accrual in the hands of the participating shareholder. When shares are held otherwise than as trading stock, that is, as capital assets, any gain will be of a capital nature and is subject to capital gains tax. Capital losses may usually be set off against other capital gains only and not against ordinary income. For capital gains tax purposes a capital gain or loss is determined as the proceeds received on disposal less the base cost (qualifying expenditure incurred to acquire the share). The proceeds will be the Cash Consideration received by the Industrials Shareholders.

Individual Industrials Shareholders

Capital gains tax is based on an individual's marginal income tax rate. 40 per cent. of all capital gains is included in the taxable income of an individual and taxed in accordance with his or her marginal income tax rate. The highest effective rate of capital gains tax, based on a marginal income tax rate of 45 per cent., is 18 per cent. The basic annual capital gain exclusion of ZAR 40,000 may be utilised to reduce the capital gain included in the individual's taxable income.

Corporate Industrials Shareholders

Companies pay capital gains tax at a higher rate than natural persons. They do not qualify for the annual exclusion, and must include 80 per cent. of any net capital gain in taxable income. Capital gains tax is based on the corporate income tax rate (which is currently 28 per cent., but which has been decreased to 27 per cent. for years of assessment ending on or after 31 March 2023). The current effective capital gains tax rate for companies is 22.4 per cent., but this has been decreased to 21.6 per cent. for years of assessment ending on or after 31 March 2023.

15. Financing and cash confirmation

The Cash Consideration payable by Bidco under the terms of the Acquisition will be funded from equity to be invested by the Blackstone Funds. In connection with the financing of Bidco, the Blackstone Funds have entered into the Equity Commitment Letter. Bidco may look to put in place debt financing on, or following, the Effective Date.

Rothschild & Co, in its capacity as financial adviser to Blackstone and Bidco, is satisfied that sufficient cash resources are available to Bidco to satisfy in full the Cash Consideration payable to Industrials Shareholders under the terms of the Acquisition.

16. Valuation

  • (a) For the purposes of Rule 29.5 of the Takeover Code, the Industrials Directors confirm that Jones Lang LaSalle has confirmed that the value of properties within the scope of its valuation report as at the date of this document would not be materially different from the valuation given by Jones Lang LaSalle as at 31 March 2023 and contained in Jones Lang LaSalle's valuation report set out in Schedule 1 of this document.
  • (b) In the event that the assets within Industrials property portfolios were to be sold at the valuations contained in the valuation report set out in Schedule 1 of this document, any gains realised on such disposal may be subject to taxation in the UK. Generally, disposals by a UK REIT of assets located in the UK held for the purpose of a property rental business should be exempt from UK corporation tax, however there are specific rules which can result in assets held as part of the property rental business being subject to tax on disposal, for example when a property is materially developed and sold within three years of completion of that development. In connection with the Acquisition it is not expected that the aforementioned liability to taxation will crystallise.

17. No significant change

The Industrials Directors are not aware of any significant change in the financial or trading position of Industrials since 31 March 2022, being the date to which the Industrials Group's latest audited consolidated accounts were prepared.

NOTICE OF COURT MEETING

IN THE ROYAL COURT OF GUERNSEY

IN THE MATTER OF INDUSTRIALS REIT LIMITED

(a non-cellular company limited by shares incorporated in Guernsey with registration number 64865)

– and –

IN THE MATTER OF PART VIII OF THE COMPANIES (GUERNSEY) LAW, 2008 (AS AMENDED)

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that by an order dated 5 May 2023 made under section 107 of the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 (as amended) (the "Companies Law") in the above matters (the "Order"), the Royal Court of Guernsey (the "Court") has directed a meeting (the "Court Meeting") to be convened of the Scheme Shareholders (as defined in the scheme of arrangement referred to below) for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, approving (with or without modification) a scheme of arrangement (the "Scheme of Arrangement") pursuant to Part VIII of the Companies Law proposed to be made between Industrials REIT Limited (the "Company" or "Industrials") and the Scheme Shareholders and that such meeting will be held at Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP, Governors House, 5 Laurence Pountney Hill, London, EC4R 0BR on Wednesday 31 May 2023 at 10.00 am London time (11.00 am SAST) at which place and time all Scheme Shareholders are requested to attend.

A copy of the Scheme of Arrangement and a copy of the explanatory statement required to be furnished pursuant to Part VIII of the Companies Law are incorporated in the Scheme Document of which this Notice forms part. Capitalised terms used but not defined in this Notice shall have the meaning given to them in the Scheme Document (unless otherwise stated).

At the Court Meeting, the following resolution will be proposed:

"That the Scheme of Arrangement between the Company and the Scheme Shareholders, a print of which has been produced to this meeting and, for the purposes of identification signed by the chairman hereof, in its original form or with or subject to any modification, addition or condition approved or imposed by the Court, and agreed by the Company and Sussex Bidco LP, be approved."

Voting on the resolution to approve the Scheme of Arrangement will be by poll, which will be conducted as the chairman of the Court Meeting or the Registrars may determine.

Instructions for all Industrials Shareholders

Scheme Shareholders entitled to attend and vote at the Court Meeting may vote in person at the Court Meeting or they may appoint another person, whether a member of the Company or not, as their proxy to attend, speak and vote in their place. A pink Form of Proxy (for Industrials Shareholders on the Guernsey Register) and a yellow Form of Proxy (for Industrials Shareholders on the South African Register who hold certificated shares or through STRATE and in their own names) for use at the Court Meeting is enclosed with this Notice or available. Scheme Shareholders who hold their shares in CREST are requested to complete CREST proxy instructions in accordance with the procedures described in the CREST Manual, which can be viewed at www.EuroClear.com/CREST. Scheme Shareholders who hold their shares in STRATE and not in their own names who wish to vote or attend the Court Meeting must contact their CSDP or broker and should not complete the Forms of Proxy.

If you hold your shares on the Guernsey Register, your Forms of Proxy may alternatively be submitted electronically by logging on to www.investorcentre.co.uk/eproxy and following the instructions there. For an electronic proxy appointment to be valid, the appointment must be received not later than 10.00 am London time (11.00 am SAST) on Friday 26 May 2023 (or, in the case of an adjournment, not later than 48 hours (excluding any part of such 48 hour period falling on a non-Business Day) before the time fixed for the holding of the adjourned Meeting).

Completion and return of the pink or yellow Form of Proxy or the appointment of a proxy through CREST or electronically, will not prevent a Scheme Shareholder from attending, speaking and voting at the Court Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, if that Scheme Shareholder so wishes and is entitled to do so.

176530 Proof 4 Friday, May 5, 2023 15:45

Scheme Shareholders are entitled to appoint a proxy in respect of some or all of their Scheme Shares and may also appoint more than one proxy, provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by such holder. Scheme Shareholders who wish to appoint more than one proxy in respect of their holding of Scheme Shares should contact the Registrars for further Forms of Proxy.

For Industrials Shareholders on the Guernsey Register, it is requested that pink Forms of Proxy (and any power of attorney or other authority under which the same are signed) and CREST proxy instructions be lodged with the Guernsey Registrar at c/o The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol BS99 6ZY or emailed to and received by #[email protected], and CREST proxy instructions be submitted in each case no less than 48 hours (excluding any part of such 48 hour period falling on a non-Business Day) before the time appointed for the Court Meeting or any adjournment thereof. Pink forms of Proxy not so lodged may be handed to the chairman of the Court Meeting or emailed to and received by #[email protected] before the start of the Court Meeting and will still be valid.

For Industrials Shareholders on the South African Register who hold their Industrials Shares (i) in certificated form or (ii) through STRATE and in their own name, it is requested that yellow Forms of Proxy (and any power of attorney or other authority under which the same are signed) be lodged with the South African Registrar at Rosebank Towers, 15 Biermann Avenue, Rosebank 2196, South Africa or at Private Bag X9000, Saxonwold, 2132, South Africa or emailed to and received by [email protected] in each case no less than 48 hours (excluding any part of such 48 hour period falling on a non-Business Day) before the time appointed for the Court Meeting or any adjournment thereof. Yellow forms of Proxy not so lodged may be handed to the chairman of the Court Meeting or emailed to and received by [email protected] before the start of the Court Meeting and will still be valid.

Scheme Shareholders holding Industrials Shares on the South African Register in dematerialised form and not in their own names who wish to attend this meeting should instruct their CSDP or broker to issue them with the necessary letter of representation to attend the Court Meeting, in the manner stipulated in the custody agreement governing the relationship between such shareholders and their CSDP or broker. These instructions must be provided to the CSDP or broker by the cut-off time and date advised by the CSDP or broker for instructions of this nature. Industrials Shareholders holding Industrials Shares in dematerialised form and not in their own names on the South African Register who cannot attend but who wish to vote at the Court Meeting should provide their CSDP or broker with their voting instructions, in the manner stipulated in the custody agreement governing the relationship between such shareholders and their CSDP or broker. These instructions must be provided to the CSDP or broker by the cut-off time and date advised by the CSDP or broker for instructions of this nature.

In the case of joint holders of the Scheme Shares, the vote of the senior holder who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, will be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders and for this purpose seniority will be determined by the order in which the names stand in the Register of members of the Company in respect of the joint holding.

As an alternative to appointing a proxy, any Scheme Shareholder which is a corporation may vote by a corporate representative duly appointed in accordance with the Articles.

Entitlement to attend, speak and vote at the Court Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, and the number of votes which may be cast thereat will be determined by reference to the Register of the Company as at 6.00 pm (London time) on the day which is two Business Days before the date of the Court Meeting or adjourned meeting (as the case may be). In each case, changes to the Register of the Company after such time will be disregarded for the purposes of determining entitlement to attend, speak and vote.

Voting at the Court Meeting will be conducted on a poll rather than a show of hands.

By the said Order, the Court has appointed Richard Grant or, failing him, Paul Arenson or, failing him, any other director of the Company to act as chairman of the Court Meeting and has directed the chairman to report the result of the Court Meeting to the Court.

The Scheme of Arrangement will be subject to the subsequent sanction of the Court.

NOTES TO THE NOTICE OF COURT MEETING

176530 Proof 4 Friday, May 5, 2023 15:45

  • 1 The resolution in this notice of the Court Meeting will be taken on a poll.
  • 2 A member entitled to attend and vote at the above meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy or proxies to attend and vote, on a poll instead of him/her, in respect of some or all of his/her shares. If a member appoints more than one proxy, each proxy must be entitled to exercise the rights attached to different shares. A proxy need not be a member of the Company. The appointment of a proxy will not preclude a member from attending and voting at the Meeting should he/she subsequently decide to do so. Any power of attorney or any other authority under which your proxy form is signed (or a duly certified copy of such power or authority) must be included with your proxy form. A space has been included on the form of proxy to allow the member to specify the number of shares in respect of which that proxy is appointed. The principles applied to multiple proxy voting instructions are detailed in paragraph 4 below.
  • 3 A pink or yellow (as applicable) Form of Proxy is enclosed with this notice or has been made available on the Company's website at www.industrialsreit.com. Instructions for use are shown on the form.
  • 4 If you wish to appoint more than one proxy in respect of your shareholding, please photocopy the pink or yellow (as applicable) Form of Proxy indicating on each copy the name of the proxy you wish to appoint and the number of shares in respect of which the proxy is appointed and follow the instructions set out in the pink or yellow (as applicable) Form of Proxy. You may appoint more than one proxy in relation to the Meeting, provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attaching to a different Scheme Share or Scheme Shares held by you. The following principles will apply in relation to the appointment of multiple proxies (assuming each such appointment is valid):
    • (a) Industrials will give effect to the intention of members and include votes wherever and to the fullest extent possible.
    • (b) Where a proxy does not state the number of Scheme Shares to which it applies (a "blank proxy") then, subject to the following principles where more than one proxy is appointed, that proxy is deemed to have been appointed in relation to the total number of Scheme Shares registered in the name of the appointing member (the "member's entire holding"). In the event of a conflict between a blank proxy and a proxy which does state the number of Scheme Shares to which it applies (a "specific proxy"), the specific proxy shall be counted first, regardless of the time it was delivered or received (on the basis that, as far as possible, the conflicting Forms of Proxy should be judged to be in respect of different Scheme Shares) and the remaining Scheme Shares will be apportioned to the blank proxy (pro rata if there is more than one).
    • (c) Where there is more than one proxy appointed and the total number of Scheme Shares in respect of which proxies are appointed is no greater than the member's entire holding, it is assumed that proxies are appointed in relation to different Scheme Shares, rather than that conflicting appointments have been made in relation to the same Scheme Shares. That is, there is only assumed to be a conflict where the aggregate number of Scheme Shares in respect of which proxies have been appointed exceeds the member's entire holding.
    • (d) When considering conflicting proxies, later proxies will prevail over earlier proxies and a later proxy will be determined on the basis of which proxy is last delivered or received.
    • (e) If conflicting proxies are delivered or received at the same time in respect of (or deemed to be in respect of) an entire holding and if Industrials is unable to determine which was delivered or received last, none of them will be treated as valid.
    • (f) Where the aggregate number of Scheme Shares in respect of which proxies are appointed exceeds a member's entire holding, all appointments will be rendered invalid.
    • (g) If a member appoints a proxy or proxies and then decides to attend the Court Meeting in person and votes using their poll card (as applicable), then the vote in person will override the proxy vote(s). If the vote in person is in respect of the member's entire holding then all proxy votes will be disregarded. If, however, the member votes at the Court Meeting in respect of less than the member's entire holding then, if the member indicates on their poll card that all proxies are to be disregarded, that shall be the case; but if the member does not specifically revoke proxies, then the vote in person will be treated in the same way as if it were the last received proxy and earlier proxies will only be disregarded to the extent that to count them would result in the number of votes being cast exceeding the member's entire holding.
    • (h) In relation to the preceding paragraph, in the event that a member does not specifically revoke proxies, it will not be possible for Industrials to determine the intentions of the member in this regard. However, in light of the aim to include votes wherever and to the fullest extent possible, it will be assumed that earlier proxies should continue to apply to the fullest extent possible.
    • (i) If you wish to revoke your proxy after you have delivered it, you may do this by: (a) attending the Court Meeting and voting in person if you were a Scheme Shareholder at the Scheme Voting Record Time; (b) signing a pink or yellow (as applicable) Form of Proxy bearing a later date which is received no later than the applicable deadline for delivery of the Forms of Proxy as noted above; (c) signing a written statement which indicates, clearly, that you want to revoke your proxy and delivering this signed written statement to Industrials' registered

office at Kingsway House, Havilland Street, St Peter Port, Guernsey GY1 2QE, as soon as possible such that your written statement is received no later than the applicable deadline for delivery of the Forms of Proxy as noted above.

176530 Proof 4 Friday, May 5, 2023 15:45

  • 5 If you are a shareholder who holds your Scheme Shares on the Guernsey Register, to be valid, the pink Form of Proxy, together with any power of attorney or other authority under which it is signed, or a duly certified copy thereof, must be received at the offices of the Guernsey Registrar at c/o The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol BS99 6ZY or emailed to and received by #[email protected] not less than 48 hours (excluding any part of such 48 hour period falling on a non-Business Day) before the time of holding the Meeting or, as the case may be, the adjourned Meeting. If the pink Form of Proxy for use at the Court Meeting is not lodged by 10.00 am London time (11.00 am SAST) on Friday 26 May 2023, it may be handed to the chairman of the Meeting or emailed to and received by #[email protected] before the start of the Court Meeting and will still be valid. Completion and return of a pink Form of Proxy will not prevent a member from attending and voting at the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, in person if he or she wishes to do so and is so entitled.
  • 6 If you are a Shareholder who holds your Scheme Shares on the South African Register (i) in certificated form or (ii) through STRATE and in your own name, to be valid, the yellow Form of Proxy, together with any power of attorney or other authority under which it is signed, or a duly certified copy thereof, must be received at the offices of the South African Registrar at Rosebank Towers, 15 Biermann Avenue, Rosebank 2196, South Africa or at Private Bag X9000, Saxonwold, 2132, South Africa or emailed to and received by [email protected] not less than 48 hours (excluding any part of such 48 hour period falling on a non-Business Day) before the time of holding the Meeting or, as the case may be, the adjourned Meeting. If the yellow Form of Proxy for use at the Court Meeting is not lodged by 10.00 am London time (11.00 am SAST) on Friday 26 May 2023, it may be handed to the chairman of the Meeting or emailed to and received by [email protected] before the start of the Court Meeting and will still be valid. Completion and return of a yellow Form of Proxy will not prevent a member from attending and voting at the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, in person if he or she wishes to do so and is so entitled.
  • 7 Shareholders holding Scheme Shares on the South African Register in dematerialised form and not in their own names who wish to attend the Meeting should instruct their CSDP or broker to issue them with the necessary letter of representation to attend the Meeting in person, in the manner stipulated in the custody agreement governing the relationship between such shareholders and their CSDP or broker. These instructions must be provided to the CSDP or broker by the cut-off time and date advised by the CSDP or broker for instructions of this nature.
  • 8 Shareholders holding Scheme Shares on the South African Register in dematerialised form and not in their own names who cannot attend but who wish to vote at the Meeting should provide their CSDP or broker with their voting instructions, in the manner stipulated in the custody agreement governing the relationship between such shareholders and their CSDP or broker. These instructions must be provided to the CSDP or broker by the cut-off time and date advised by the CSDP or broker for instructions of this nature.
  • 9 Pursuant to Regulation 41 of the Uncertificated Securities (Guernsey) Regulations, 2009, the Company specifies that only those shareholders of the Company on the Register at 6.00 pm (London time) on the day which is two Business Days before the Meeting shall be entitled to attend or vote at the Meeting in respect of the number of shares registered in their name at that time. Changes to the Register after that time will be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend or vote at the Meeting.
  • 10 Shareholders who hold Scheme Shares on the Guernsey Register and who wish to vote online should visit www.investorcentre.co.uk/eproxy and follow the instructions. Further information is also included on the pink Form of Proxy. To be valid, an electronic proxy appointment must be made not less than 48 hours (excluding any part of such 48 hour period falling on a non-Business Day) before the time of holding the Meeting or, as the case may be, the adjourned Meeting.
  • 11 CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies by utilising the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so by utilising the procedures described in the CREST Manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take appropriate action on their behalf.
  • 12 In order for a proxy appointment made by means of CREST to be valid, the appropriate CREST message must be transmitted so as to be received by the Guernsey Registrar (whose CREST ID is 3RA50) by the specified latest time(s) for receipt of proxy appointments. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Application Host) from which the Company agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed.
  • 13 The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 34 of the Uncertificated Securities (Guernsey) Regulations, 2009.
  • 14 In the case of joint holders of ordinary shares, the vote of the senior shareholder who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, will be accepted to the exclusion of the other joint holder(s) and for this purpose seniority will be determined by the order in which the names stand in the Register of the Company in respect of the joint holding.

15 Any corporation which is a member can appoint one or more corporate representatives who may exercise on its behalf all of its powers as a member provided that they do not do so in relation to the same shares. In the case of a member which is a company, your proxy form must be executed under its common seal or signed on its behalf by a duly authorised officer of the company or an attorney or other person duly authorised for the company.

Therefore, the total voting rights in the Company as at 3 May 2023 were 296,860,448.
  • 17 Any member attending the Meeting has the right to ask questions. The Company has to answer any questions raised by members at the meeting which relate to the business being dealt with at the Meeting unless:

NOTES TO THE NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

176530 Proof 4 Friday, May 5, 2023 15:43

  • 1 The resolution in this notice of the General Meeting will be taken on a poll.
  • 2 A member entitled to attend and vote at the above Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy or proxies to attend and vote, on a poll instead of him/her, in respect of some or all of his/her shares. If a member appoints more than one proxy, each proxy must be entitled to exercise the rights attached to different shares. A proxy need not be a member of the Company. The appointment of a proxy will not preclude a member from attending and voting at the Meeting should he/she subsequently decide to do so. Any power of attorney or any other authority under which your proxy form is signed (or a duly certified copy of such power or authority) must be included with your proxy form. A space has been included on the form of proxy to allow the member to specify the number of shares in respect of which that proxy is appointed. The principles applied to multiple proxy voting instructions are detailed in paragraph 4 below.
  • 3 A blue or green (as applicable) Form of Proxy is enclosed with this notice or has been made available on the Company's website at www.industrialsreit.com. Instructions for use are shown on the form.
  • 4 If you wish to appoint more than one proxy in respect of your shareholding, you should photocopy the Form of Proxy, please photocopy the blue or green (as applicable) Form of Proxy indicating on each copy the name of the proxy you wish to appoint and the number of shares in respect of which the proxy is appointed and follow the instructions set out in the blue or green (as applicable) Form of Proxy. You may appoint more than one proxy in relation to each Meeting, provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attaching to a different Industrials Share held by you. The following principles will apply in relation to the appointment of multiple proxies (assuming each such appointment is valid):
    • (a) Industrials will give effect to the intention of members and include votes wherever and to the fullest extent possible.
    • (b) Where a proxy does not state the number of Industrials Shares to which it applies (a "blank proxy") then, subject to the following principles where more than one proxy is appointed, that proxy is deemed to have been appointed in relation to the total number of Industrials Shares registered in the name of the appointing member (the "member's entire holding"). In the event of a conflict between a blank proxy and a proxy which does state the number of Industrials Shares to which it applies (a "specific proxy"), the specific proxy shall be counted first, regardless of the time it was delivered or received (on the basis that, as far as possible, the conflicting Forms of Proxy should be judged to be in respect of different Industrials Shares) and the remaining Industrials Shares will be apportioned to the blank proxy (pro rata if there is more than one).
    • (c) Where there is more than one proxy appointed and the total number of Industrials Shares in respect of which proxies are appointed is no greater than the member's entire holding, it is assumed that proxies are appointed in relation to different Industrials Shares, rather than that conflicting appointments have been made in relation to the same Industrials Shares. That is, there is only assumed to be a conflict where the aggregate number of Industrials Shares in respect of which proxies have been appointed exceeds the member's entire holding.
    • (d) When considering conflicting proxies, later proxies will prevail over earlier proxies and a later proxy will be determined on the basis of which proxy is last delivered or received.
    • (e) If conflicting proxies are delivered or received at the same time in respect of (or deemed to be in respect of) an entire holding and if Industrials is unable to determine which was delivered or received last, none of them will be treated as valid.
    • (f) Where the aggregate number of Industrials Shares in respect of which proxies are appointed exceeds a member's entire holding, all appointments will be rendered invalid.
    • (g) If a member appoints a proxy or proxies and then decides to attend the General Meeting in person and votes using their poll card (as applicable), then the vote in person will override the proxy vote(s). If the vote in person is in respect of the member's entire holding then all proxy votes will be disregarded. If, however, the member votes at the General Meeting in respect of less than the member's entire holding then, if the member indicates on their poll card that all proxies are to be disregarded, that shall be the case; but if the member does not specifically revoke proxies, then the vote in person will be treated in the same way as if it were the last received proxy and earlier proxies will only be disregarded to the extent that to count them would result in the number of votes being cast exceeding the member's entire holding.
    • (h) In relation to the preceding paragraph, in the event that a member does not specifically revoke proxies, it will not be possible for Industrials to determine the intentions of the member in this regard. However, in light of the aim to include votes wherever and to the fullest extent possible, it will be assumed that earlier proxies should continue to apply to the fullest extent possible.
    • (i) If you wish to revoke your proxy after you have delivered it, you may do this by: (a) attending the General Meeting and voting in person if you were a Scheme Shareholder at the Scheme Voting Record Time; (b) signing a blue or green (as applicable) Form of Proxy bearing a later date which is received no later than the applicable deadline for delivery of the Forms of Proxy as noted above; (c) signing a written statement which indicates, clearly, that you want to revoke your proxy and delivering this signed written statement to Industrials' registered

office at Kingsway House, Havilland Street, St Peter Port, Guernsey GY1 2QE, as soon as possible such that your written statement is received no later than the applicable deadline for delivery of the Forms of Proxy as noted above.

  • 5 The "Vote Withheld" option is provided to enable you to abstain on the specified resolution. However, it should be noted that a "Vote Withheld" is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes "For" and "Against" the specified resolution.
  • 6 If you are an Industrials Shareholder on the Guernsey Register, to be valid, the blue Form of Proxy, together with any power of attorney or other authority under which it is signed, or a duly certified copy thereof, must be received at the offices of the Guernsey Registrar at c/o The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol BS99 6ZY or emailed to and received by #[email protected] not less than 48 hours (excluding any part of such 48 hour period falling on a non-Business Day) before the time of holding the Meeting or, as the case may be, the adjourned Meeting. Completion and return of a blue Form of Proxy will not prevent a member from attending and voting at the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, in person if he or she wishes to do so and is so entitled.
  • 7 If you are an Industrials Shareholder who hold their Industrials Shares on the South African Register (i) in certificated form or (ii) through STRATE and in your own name, to be valid, the green Form of Proxy, together with any power of attorney or other authority under which it is signed, or a duly certified copy thereof, must be received at the offices of the South African Registrar at Rosebank Towers, 15 Biermann Avenue, Rosebank 2196, South Africa or at Private Bag X9000, Saxonwold, 2132, South Africa or emailed to and received by [email protected] not less than 48 hours (excluding any part of such 48 hour period falling on a non-Business Day) before the time of holding the Meeting or, as the case may be, the adjourned Meeting. Completion and return of a green Form of Proxy will not prevent a member from attending and voting at the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, in person if he or she wishes to do so and is so entitled.
  • 8 Shareholders holding Industrials Shares on the South African Register in dematerialised form and not in their own names who wish to attend this Meeting should instruct their CSDP or broker to issue them with the necessary letter of representation to attend this Meeting in person, in the manner stipulated in the custody agreement governing the relationship between such shareholders and their CSDP or broker. These instructions must be provided to the CSDP or broker by the cut-off time and date advised by the CSDP or broker for instructions of this nature.
  • 9 Shareholders holding Industrials Shares on the South African Register in dematerialised form and not in their own names who cannot attend but who wish to vote at the Meeting should provide their CSDP or broker with their voting instructions, in the manner stipulated in the custody agreement governing the relationship between such shareholders and their CSDP or broker. These instructions must be provided to the CSDP or broker by the cut-off time and date advised by the CSDP or broker for instructions of this nature.
  • 10 Pursuant to Regulation 41 of the Uncertificated Securities (Guernsey) Regulations, 2009, the Company specifies that only those shareholders of the Company on the Register at 6.00 pm (London time) on the day which is two Business Days before the Meeting shall be entitled to attend or vote at the Meeting in respect of the number of shares registered in their name at that time. Changes to the Register after that time will be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend or vote at the Meeting.
  • 11 Shareholders who hold Industrial Shares on the Guernsey Register and who wish to vote online should visit www.investorcentre.co.uk/eproxy and follow the instructions. Further information is also included on the blue Form of Proxy. To be valid, an electronic proxy appointment must be made not less than 48 hours (excluding any part of such 48-hour period falling on a non-Business Day) before the time of holding the Meeting or, as the case may be, the adjourned Meeting.
  • 12 CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies by utilising the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so by utilising the procedures described in the CREST Manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take appropriate action on their behalf.
  • 13 In order for a proxy appointment made by means of CREST to be valid, the appropriate CREST message must be transmitted so as to be received by the Guernsey Registrar (whose CREST ID is 3RA50) by the specified latest time(s) for receipt of proxy appointments. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Application Host) from which the Company agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed.
  • 14 The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 34 of the Uncertificated Securities (Guernsey) Regulations, 2009.
  • 15 In the case of joint holders of ordinary shares, the vote of the senior shareholder who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, will be accepted to the exclusion of the other joint holder(s) and for this purpose seniority will be determined by the order in which the names stand in the Register of the Company in respect of the joint holding.

16 Any corporation which is a member can appoint one or more corporate representatives who may exercise on its behalf all of its powers as a member provided that they do not do so in relation to the same shares. In the case of a member which is a company, your proxy form must be executed under its common seal or signed on its behalf by a duly authorised officer of the company or an attorney or other person duly authorised for the company.

  • 17 As at 3 May 2023 (being the latest practicable day prior to the date of this notice of the General Meeting), the Company's issued share capital (including 1,914,727 treasury shares) consisted of 298,775,175 ordinary shares, carrying one vote each. Therefore, the total voting rights in the Company as at 3 May 2023 were 296,860,448.
  • 18 Any member attending the Meeting has the right to ask questions. The Company has to answer any questions raised by members at the Meeting which relate to the business being dealt with at the Meeting unless:
    • (A) to do so would interfere unduly with the preparation for the Meeting or involve the disclosure of confidential information;
    • (B) the answer has already been given on a website in the form of an answer to a question; or
    • (C) it is undesirable in the interests of the Company or the good order of the Meeting to answer the question.

instructed to provide you with a report and valuation for the purpose of providing an

"Purpose") for the purpose of Rule 29 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the
"Code"), for the purposes of inclusion in the scheme document to be published by the
Company (the "Scheme Document") in connection with the recommended final cash

We acknowledge that the Valuation Report will be published on a website in

Our valuation and report will be undertaken in accordance with the current RICS Valuation – Global Standards, which incorporates the International Valuation Standards, and the RICS Valuation – Global Standards 2017 – UK National Supplement (together "the RICS Red Book).

Reliance: For the purposes of the Code, we are responsible for this Valuation Report and accept responsibility for the information contained in this Valuation Report and confirm that to the best of our knowledge (having taken all reasonable care to ensure this is the case), the information contained in this Valuation Report is in accordance with the facts and contains no omissions likely to affect its import. This Valuation Report complies with the Code and we authorise its content for the purposes of Rule 29 of the Code.

Save in respect of such addresses and shareholders (together the "Relying Parties"), third parties may not rely on it.

Our Valuation Report may only be relied upon for this purpose. No reliance may be placed on draft versions of the Valuation Report.

We are not acting as Valuers of the Company itself; the valuation function for the Company and the setting of the Net Asset Value of the Company remains with the Company. Our role is limited to providing a valuation of the Portfolio in accordance with the RICS Red Book and the terms set out in our report.

The portfolio valuation has been produced for the Purpose and may not be reproduced or used in connection with any other purpose without our prior consent.

This report is for the use of the Addressees and the shareholders of the Company for the Purpose and, to the fullest extent permitted by law and the Code, we do not assume any responsibility and will not accept any liability to any other person for any loss suffered by any such other person as a result of, arising out of, or in accordance with the Valuation Report.

Save in respect of our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation (which is not excluded or limited in any way) :

  • a) we shall under no circumstances whatsoever be liable, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, for any loss of profit, loss of revenue or loss of anticipated savings, or for any indirect, special or consequential loss arising out of or in connection with this report; and

In no circumstances will we have any responsibility or liability in connection with any investment decision made prior to our Report.

Important Notice to all readers of this report; unless you are the Client or an Addressee
named within this report, or have been explicitly identified by us as a party to whom we
owe a duty of care and who is entitled to rely on this report, Jones Lang LaSalle does
not owe or assume any duty of care to you in respect of the contents of this report and
you are not entitled to rely upon it.
Tenure: Freehold, heritable and leasehold (details herein)
Valuation Date: 31 March 2023
Instruction Date: 5 May 2023
Basis of Valuation: As required by the Code, we confirm that our valuation and report has been prepared in
accordance with the current UK national supplement, incorporating the IVS, and the
UK national supplement published by the RICS (the RICS Red Book) on the basis of
Market Value as defined in Appendix 2. We have acted as external valuers.
Market Value:
The estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on
the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's length
transaction, after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted
knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.
The report is subject to, and should be read in conjunction with, the attached General
Terms and Conditions of Business and our General Principles Adopted in the
Preparation of Valuations and Reports which are attached in Appendix 2.
No allowance has been made for any expenses of realisation, or for taxation (including
VAT) which might arise in the event of a disposal and the property has been considered
free and clear of all mortgages or other charges which may be secured thereon.
We have assumed that in the event of a sale of the properties, they would be marketed
in an orderly manner and would not all be placed on the market at the same time.
Inspection: The Properties are subject to a rolling programme of inspections, with each property
having been inspected at least within the last two years. All significant parts of the
properties were inspected.
Disclosures: We confirm our ongoing appointment to carry out biannual valuations of the
Properties. We do not consider this, in our professional opinion, to be a threat to our
objectivity and ability to act with independence. We will however, require the
Company's informed consent in order to proceed.
We confirm that neither the individual valuers, being [Stuart Smith and Robert
Pritchard], nor JLL, have any material connection to any party in the Proposed
Transaction nor any personal interest in the Company, the Addressees or the
Properties, other than our appointment by the Client to carry out biannual valuations,
which would cause us or them to cease to qualify as an 'Independent Valuer' for the
purpose of Rule 29.3(a) of the Code. We undertake in favour of the Company that we
shall not take any actions which would cause us or the relevant valuers to cease to
qualify as an 'Independent Valuer' for the purposes of Rule 29.3(a) of the Code for the
duration of the Instruction.

In our firm's preceding financial year the proportion of total fees payable by the client
commissioning this valuation was less than 5% of the firm's total fee income.
It is not anticipated there will be a material increase in the proportion of fees payable
to the firm by the client commissioning this valuation report since the end of the last
financial year or in the next financial year.
Robert Pritchard BA MSc MRICS has been a signatory for this valuation instruction since
2018. At present he remains the signatory to this report.
We have an adequate policy in place regarding rotation of signatories and we do not
consider that a rotation of signatories is currently required.
You have previously confirmed that we have made you aware of our previous
involvements in respect of certain assets prior to your acquisition of them. In
accordance with the Red Book, as our advice was given over 12 months ago, we are
able to provide you with a regulated purpose valuation of the properties.
For the purposes of Rule 29.5 of the Code, we confirm that there is no material
difference between the values stated in this Valuation Report and the values that would
be stated were the Valuation Date the date of the Scheme Document.
Personnel: The valuations have been prepared under the direction of Robert Pritchard BA MSc
MRICS, Director.
In addition, each valuation has been approved by a Valuation Director at a regional
office level.
We confirm that the personnel responsible for this valuation are qualified for the
purpose of the valuation in accordance with the current UK national supplement and
are RICS Registered Valuers.
Status: In preparing this valuation we have acted as External Valuers, subject to any
disclosures made to you.
We have been appointed by the addressees and have acted as an 'External Valuer' as
defined by the RICS Red Book and, in the case of Rule 29 of the UK Takeover Rules, as
an Independent Valuer as defined in the UK Takeover Rules.
We confirm that the personnel responsible for the Valuation Report are qualified for the
purpose of the Valuation Report and in accordance with RICS Valuation Standards have
the knowledge, skills, experience and understanding to undertake the Valuation Report
competently, including to the extent required by Rule 29 of the UK Takeover rules.
Assumptions: We have made no Special Assumptions.
Sources of Information: We have carried out all the necessary enquiries with regard to rental and investment
value, Rateable Value, planning issues and investment considerations. We have not
carried out building surveys or environmental risk assessments. We have not measured
the premises and have relied on the floor areas provided.
We have not been supplied with a Certificate of Title or any other correspondence by
your solicitors.
We have been provided with the following, upon which we have relied:

Ŷ Tenancy schedule dated 31 March 2023, prepared by Industrials REIT Ltd.

We have not read leases. Although we reflect our general understanding of the status of the tenants based on publicly available information, we are not qualified to advise you on the financial standing of the tenants.

Aggregate Valuation: £594,115,000

(Five Hundred and Ninety Four Million, One Hundred and Fifteen Thousand Pounds)

Tenure Aggregate Market Value
Freehold/Heritable £541,350,000
Leasehold (inc. part freehold) £52,765,000
Total £594,115,000
While it should be noted that the guidance set out in the RICS Red Book envisages the
assets being valued and sold individually over a reasonable period depending on
market circumstances at the time, the valuation of the portfolio as a whole, may
produce a greater or lesser figure than the aggregate value of the individual properties.
Purchaser's Costs: Generally, we have allowed for Stamp Duty Land Tax as follows: Market Value of up to
£150,000, zero; next £100,000 (the portion from £150,001 to £250,000), 2.00%;
remaining amount (the portion above £250,001), 5.00%.
We have also allowed for agents and legal fees plus VAT at standard market rates which
amounts to 1.80%.
Market conditions explanatory
note
As at the date of valuation and at the time this report was drafted, there are several
negative factors recognised as influencing real estate markets, exerting downward
pressure on asset values and reducing liquidity. These include:
Global Economy
The wider global economy continues to face challenges that cumulatively contribute to
cost inflation, interest rate changes and consumer confidence thereby resulting in a
more volatile transactional market. Issues in the banking and financial services sectors
may prove to exacerbate an already volatile situation.
Market Activity
Real estate markets can mostly be described as functioning but there is reduced
transaction activity and the sentiment of buyers and sellers across some markets has
been impacted. These factors have led to softer pricing across all sectors. There is a
general perception and expectation of continued changes, and there is a risk that
continued volatility, coupled with changes in debt costs, will have a direct impact on
pricing as yields continue to evolve. There remains evidence of wide bid spreads, price
renegotiations and transactions taking a long time to complete, which all add to the
market dynamics.

Ukraine

The war in Ukraine is continuing and its wider long-term implications remain unknown. At the present time, certain locations within Europe are facing difficult investment market conditions as a direct result of the war.

For the avoidance of doubt, due to the functioning nature of the market, our valuation is NOT reported as being subject to 'material valuation uncertainty' as defined by VPS 3 and VPGA 10 of the RICS Valuation – Global Standards.

This explanatory note has been included to ensure transparency and to provide further insight as to the market context under which the valuation opinion was prepared. In recognition of the potential for market conditions to move rapidly, we highlight the critical importance of the valuation date and advise you to keep the valuation under regular and early review.

Confidentiality and Publication: Finally, and in accordance with our normal practice we confirm that the Report is confidential to the party to whom it is addressed for the specific purpose to which it refers. No responsibility whatsoever is accepted to any third party and neither the whole of the Report, nor any part, nor references thereto, may be published in any document, statement or circular, nor in any communication with third parties without our prior written approval of the form and context in which it will appear.

We have given and not withdrawn our consent to the inclusion of this Valuation Report in the Scheme Document, and to the publication and reproduction of this report as required by Rules 26 and 29 of the Code.

Market Value

4. MarketValue

The definition of Market value is defined in IVS 104 paragraph 30.1 as:

'the estimated amountfor which anasset or liability should exchange on the valuation date betweena willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's length transaction, after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.'

  • 4.1 Market value is a basisof valuethatis internationally recognisedandhasa long -establisheddefinition. It describesan exchangebetween parties thatareunconnectedandareoperatingfreely in themarketplace andrepresents the figurethatwouldappear in a hypothetical contractof sale, or equivalentlegal document, atthe valuation date,reflecting allthosefactors thatwouldbetaken into accountin framing their bids by marketparticipantsatlargeandreflecting thehighestandbestuseof the asset.

-( 2*-&

30.2. Thedefinition of market valuemustbeapplied in accordancewith the following conceptualframework:

(a) "Theestimatedamount" refers to a priceexpressedin termsof money payablefortheassetin an arm's length markettransaction. Market value is themostprobablepricereasonably obtainablein the marketon thevaluation datein keeping with the market value definition. It is the best pricereasonably obtainableby the seller andthe most advantageouspricereasonably obtainableby thebuyer. This estimatespecifically excludes an estimatedpriceinflatedor deflatedby specialtermsor circumstances such asatypicalfinancing, saleandleaseback arrangements, special considerationsor concessions grantedby anyone associatedwith thesale, or any elementof value availableonly to a specific owner or purchaser.

(b) "An asset or liability should exchange" refers to thefactthatthevalue of an asset or liability isan estimatedamountrather than a predeterminedamountor actual saleprice. Itis the price in a transaction thatmeets allthe elements ofthe market value definition atthe valuation date.

(c) "On thevaluation date" requires thatthe value is time-specific asof a given date.Becausemarkets and market conditionsmay change,theestimatedvaluemay beincorrector inappropriateatanother time. The valuation amountwillreflectthemarket stateandcircumstancesas atthevaluation date,not those atany other date.

(d) "Between a willing buyer" refers to onewho ismotivated,butnot compelledto buy. Thisbuyer is neither over-eager nor determinedto buy atany price. Thisbuyer isalso onewho purchases in accordancewith therealitiesof thecurrentmarketandwith currentmarket expectations,rather than in relation to an imaginaryor hypothetical marketthat cannotbedemonstratedor anticipatedto exist. The assumedbuyer wouldnotpay a higher price than themarketrequires. Thepresentowner is included among thosewho constitute"themarket".

(e) "Anda willing seller" isneither an over-eager nora forcedseller prepared to sell atany price,nor one preparedto holdoutfor a price not consideredreasonablein thecurrentmarket. Thewilling seller is motivatedto sell the asset at marketterms for thebest price attainable in theopen marketafter proper marketing,whatever that pricemay be. Thefactual circumstancesoftheactualowner arenota partof this consideration becausethewilling seller isa hypotheticalowner.

(f) "In an arm's length transaction" isonebetween partieswho do nothave a particular or special relationship, eg,parentandsubsidiary companies or landlordandtenant,thatmay makethepricelevel uncharacteristic of themarketor inflated. Themarket value transactionispresumedto bebetween unrelatedparties, each acting independently.

(g) "After proper marketing"means thatthe asset hasbeen exposedto the marketin the most appropriatemannerto effectitsdisposal atthe best pricereasonably obtainablein accordancewith the market value definition. Themethodof sale isdeemed to be thatmostappropriate to obtain thebest price in the marketto which theseller hasaccess. The length of exposuretimeisnot a fixedperiodbut will vary accordingto the typeof asset and market conditions. Theonly criterion is thattheremust have been sufficienttimeto allowthe asset to be broughtto theattention of an adequatenumber of market participants. Theexposureperiod occurspriorto thevaluation date.

(h) "Wherethepartieshadeach actedknowledgeably,prudently" presumes thatboth thewilling buyer andthewilling seller arereasonably informed aboutthenatureandcharacteristicsof the asset, itsactual andpotential uses, andthe stateof the marketasofthevaluation date. Each is further presumedto use that knowledgeprudently to seek the price thatis mostfavourablefor their respectivepositions in the transaction.

Prudenceis assessed by referring to thestateof the marketatthe valuation date,notwith the benefit of hindsightat somelater date. For example, itis not necessarily imprudentfor a seller to sell assets in a marketwith falling pricesata price thatis lower than previousmarketlevels. In such cases, as is truefor other exchanges in marketswith changingprices,theprudentbuyer or seller will actin accordancewith the best marketinformationavailableatthetime.

(i) "Andwithout compulsion" establishes that each party ismotivated to undertakethetransaction,but neither is forcedor unduly coercedto completeit.

  • 30.3. Theconceptof market value presumesa price negotiatedin an open and competitivemarketwherethe participants areacting freely. Themarketfor an asset couldbean internationalmarketor a localmarket. Themarket couldconsistof numerousbuyersandsellers, or couldbeonecharacterised by a limited number of marketparticipants. Themarketin which theassetis presumedexposedfor saleis theone in which the asset notionally being exchangedisnormally exchanged.
  • 30.4. Themarket value of an assetwillreflectits highestandbest use (see paras 140.1-140.5). Thehighestand best use is theuse of an assetthatmaximises its potential andthatis possible, legally permissibleand financially feasible. Thehighestandbestuse may be for continuation of an asset'sexisting use or for somealternativeuse. This is determinedby theuse thata market participantwouldhavein mindfor the assetwhen formulating thepricethatitwouldbewilling to bid.
  • 30.5. Thenatureandsourceofthevaluation inputsmust beconsistent with the basis of value,which in turn musthaveregardto thevaluation purpose. For example, variousapproachesandmethodsmaybeused to arriveat an opinion of value providing they usemarket-deriveddata. Themarket approachwill,by definition,use market-derivedinputs. To indicatemarket value,theincomeapproach shouldbeapplied, using inputsand assumptions thatwouldbe adoptedby participants. To indicatemarket value using the costapproach,thecostof an assetof equal utility andtheappropriatedepreciation should bedetermined by analysisof market-based costsand depreciation.
  • 30.6. Thedata availableandthecircumstances relatingto themarketfor the assetbeing valuedmust determinewhich valuation methodor methods aremostrelevantandappropriate. If basedon appropriately analysed market-deriveddata, each approach ormethodusedshouldprovidean indication of market value.
  • 30.7. Market value doesnot reflectattributesof an assetthatareof value to a specific owner or purchaser that arenotavailableto other buyers in the market. Such advantagesmay relateto thephysical, geographic, economic or legal characteristicsof an asset. Market value requires thedisregardof any such elementof value because, atany given date, itis only assumedthatthereis a willing buyer,nota particular willing buyer.

Market Rent

5 Market rent

Market rent is defined in IVS 104 paragraph 40.1 as:

The estimated amountfor which an interest in real property should be leased on the valuation date between a willing lessor and a willing lessee on appropriate lease terms in an arm's length transac tio n, after proper marketin g and where the parties had each acted knowledgea bl y, pruden tl y and without compulsi on.

  • 5.1 Market rent will vary significantly according to thetermsof theassumedleasecontract. Theappropriate lease termswill normally reflect currentpracticein themarketin which theproperty is situated, although for certain purposesunusualtermsmay needto bestipulated. Matters such as the duration of thelease,the frequency ofrentreviewsandtheresponsibilities of the parties for maintenanceandoutgoingswill all impactthemarket rent. In certain countriesor states, statutory factorsmayeither restricttheterms that may beagreed, or influencetheimpactofterms in thecontract. Theseneedto be taken into accountwhere appropriate.
  • 5.2 Market rent will normally beused to indicatetheamountfor which avacantproperty may belet,or for which a let property may bere-letwhen the existing leaseterminates. Market rent is nota suitablebasis for settling the amountofrentpayableunder a rentreviewprovision in a lease,wherethedefinitionsand assumptions specified in thelease have to be used.
  • 5.3 Valuersmustthereforetakecareto setout clearly theprincipal leaseterms thatareassumedwhen providing an opinion of market rent. If it is themarketnorm for lettings to includea paymentor concession by one party to the other asan incentiveto enter into a lease, andthis is reflectedin the general levelofrents agreed,themarket rent shouldalso be expressedon this basis. Thenatureoftheincentiveassumedmustbe stated by thevaluer, along with theassumed leaseterms.

IVS Framework

  • 40.1 Market Rent is theestimated amountfor which an interestin realproperty should beleased on thevaluation datebetween a willing lessor anda willing lessee on appropriateleaseterms in an arm's length transaction, after proper marketing andwherethepartieshadeach actedknowledgeably,prudently andwithout compulsion.
  • 40.2 MarketRentmay beused asa basis of valuewhen valuing a leaseor an interest createdby a lease. In such cases, it isnecessary to consider thecontractrent, and,where itisdifferent,themarketrent.
  • 40.3 Theconceptualframeworksupporting thedefinition of MarketValue… can beappliedto assistin the interpretation of MarketRent. In particular,theestimatedamount excludesa rentinflatedor deflatedby special terms, considerations or concessions. The "appropriate lease terms" are terms that would typically be agreedin themarketfor thetypeof property on thevaluation datebetween market participants. An indication of MarketRent should only be providedin conjunction with an indication oftheprincipal lease terms thathavebeen assumed.
  • 40.4 ContractRentis the rentpayableunder thetermsof an actual lease. It may be fixedfor theduration ofthe lease, or variable. Thefrequency and basisof calculating variations in therentwillbeset outin the leaseand must be identified and understood in order to establish thetotalbenefits accruing to thelessor and the liability of the lessee.

  • 40.5 In somecircumstances theMarketRentmay haveto be assessed basedon termsof an existing lease (eg,for rentaldetermination purposes wherethe leasetermsareexisting and thereforenotto beassumed aspartof a notional lease).
  • 40.6 In calculating MarketRent,thevaluer must consider thefollowing:
    • a) in regards to a MarketRent subjectto a lease,thetermsand conditionsof thatleasearetheappropriate lease termsunless those termsand conditionsare illegalor contrary to overarching legislation, and
    • b) in regard to a MarketRentthatisnot subjectto a lease,the assumed termsand conditions aretheterms of a notional leasethatwould typically beagreed in a marketfor thetypeof property on thevaluation datebetween marketparticipants.
