CIRCULAR TO DELTA SHAREHOLDERS

1. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

Further to the announcements dated 12 February 2015 and 9 March 2015, in which Delta shareholders were advised that Delta's board of directors intended to approach shareholders for approval to exercise the Termination clause in its Existing Asset Management Agreement with MPI Property Asset Management, due to ongoing differences among the shareholders of MPI Property Asset Management, and simultaneously enter into the New Asset Management Agreement with Delta Manco.

The purpose of this Circular is to provide Delta Shareholders with the required information to enable them to make an informed decision as to whether or not they should vote in favour of the Resolutions required to approve the Termination of the Existing Asset Management Agreement and approve the New Asset Management Agreement.

2. TERMINATION OF THE EXISTING ASSET MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

If approved by Delta shareholders, the Termination will be concluded in terms of the provisions of the Existing Asset Management Agreement, which provides that in the event of Delta shareholders passing a resolution to terminate the Existing Asset Management Agreement, the agreement will terminate 60 days from the date on which the resolution is passed. On termination, Delta is required to pay a Termination Fee to MPI Property Asset Management, which fee is payable in three monthly instalments after the Termination Effective Date. The calculation of the Termination Fee is based on the methodology set out in clause 16 of the Existing Asset Management Agreement. As at the Last Practicable Date, the Termination Fee is estimated to be approximately R5 million. It should, however, be noted that the actual Termination Fee payable can only be calculated after the Termination Effective Date. An extract of the relevant clauses in the Existing Asset Management Agreement is set out in Annexure 1 below.

3. NEW ASSET MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

Delta leases certain premises to the Department of Public Works. In terms of these lease agreements, Delta is obliged to have an external BEE asset manager which is wholly-owned, managed and controlled by black persons. Accordingly, in order to ensure that it is not in breach of these obligations, Delta is looking to appoint Delta Manco as its new asset manager with effect from the Termination Effective Date. It is intended that Delta Manco will be wholly-owned by the Trust (which is in the process of being established), the beneficiaries of which will be the black employees of Delta Manco. It is further intended that Delta Manco will acquire the staff and assets of MPI Property Asset Management. None of the existing shareholders of MPI Property Asset Management will be beneficiaries of the Trust.

Delta has accordingly entered into the New Asset Management Agreement with Delta Manco. The terms of the New Asset Management Agreement are no more onerous to Delta than the Existing Asset Management Agreement. The monthly fee payable to Delta Manco will be the same as that currently payable to MPI Property Management Property Limited. The duration of the agreement is five years, with Delta having an option to renew the agreement for further periods of three years each. On termination, no termination fees will be payable to Delta Manco and Delta will have an option to acquire the employees and assets of Delta Manco. In the event that it does not exercise such option it will be required to reimburse Delta Manco for any reasonable costs incurred in winding-up its business. These demobilisation costs are envisaged to be approximately six months of Delta Manco's operating expenses, which is currently estimated to be approximately R25 million. The New Asset Management Agreement is conditional, inter alia, on the Existing Asset Management Agreement being terminated, and the Trust being established and becoming the sole shareholder of Delta Manco.

Sandile Nomvete and Sandra Mqina will be the initial directors of Delta Manco. Senior management will include Trevor Matthews (Head of Operations), Yvonne Behari-Ram (Head of Property Management), Sandra Mqina (Senior Operations Manager), Preshaan Ramsamy (Senior Operations Manager) and Otis Tshabalala (Senior Investment Manager).

Sandile Nomvete, Bronwyn Corbett and Greg Booyens are employed directly by Delta.

The key terms of the New Asset Management Agreement are set out in Annexure 2 below.

4. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

Termination of the Existing Asset Management Agreement is only subject to shareholder approval.

The implementation of the New Asset Management Agreement is subject to the fulfilment of the following conditions precedent:

  • shareholder approval of the New Asset Management Agreement;
  • registration of the Trust;
  • Termination of the Existing Asset Management Agreement; and
  • successful sale of the business of MPI Property Asset Management to Delta Manco.

5. GENERAL MEETING

The General Meeting of Delta shareholders will be held at 10:00 on Wednesday, 10 June 2015 at the registered office of Delta, for the purpose of considering and, if deemed fit, passing, with or without modification, the Resolutions required to approve the Termination of the Existing Asset Management Agreement and approve the New Asset Management Agreement. A notice convening such General Meeting of Delta shareholders is attached hereto, and forms part of this Circular.

6. GOVERNING LAW

This Circular will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of South Africa and shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the South African Courts.

7. VIEWS OF THE BOARD

    1. A proxy may delegate the proxy's authority to act on behalf of the Delta shareholder to another person.
    1. The completion and lodging of this form of proxy will not preclude the relevant Delta shareholder from attending the General Meeting of Delta shareholders and speaking and voting in person thereat to the exclusion of any proxy appointed in terms hereof, should such Delta shareholder wish to do so. Accordingly, the appointment of a proxy in terms hereof is suspended at any time and to the extent that the Delta shareholder chooses to act directly and in person in the exercise of any rights as a Delta shareholder.
    1. A proxy is entitled to exercise, or abstain from exercising, any voting right of the Delta shareholder without direction, except to the extent that the voting instructions are set out in the relevant section of the proxy forms.
