3.2 Incorporation and history

3.2.1 The Company was incorporated on 14 August 2014 in Mauritius (under the name Green Flash Properties Ltd) as a public company limited by shares in accordance with the Mauritian Companies Act 15 of 2001, as amended, and held a Global Business Licence in accordance with the Financial Services Act 2007. The Company's objects were the investment in listed and physical real estate and infrastructure securities. The Company was listed on the Official Market on 30 January 2015 by way of private placement and on the AltX of the JSE on 27 November 2015. The name of the Company was changed from Green Flash Properties Ltd to Greenbay Properties Ltd with effect from 17 March 2016 and the South African listing was migrated from the AltX to the Main Board on 29 March 2017.

3.2.2 On 25 September 2018, pursuant to the FTSE Russell quarterly review of sector classification of companies, the Company was reclassified from the "Real Estate Holding and Development" subsector to the "Equity Investment Instruments" subsector based on revenue streams and fair value assessment of investments from segmental reports in the Company's published financial statements. To reflect such reclassification at the end of 2018, the Company amended certain provisions of its constitution to expand its strategy to reflect its objectives of actively managing its capital and implementing traditional and alternative investment strategies in the following four primary business segments: real estate; infrastructure; private equity; and asset management. Moreover, the name of the Company was changed from Greenbay Properties Ltd to Lighthouse Capital Limited with effect from 11 December 2018.

3.2.3 The Company's quarterly results for the three months ended 31 December 2018 indicated that most of the Company's revenue was generated by its direct and indirect property investments. The Company accordingly applied to FTSE Russell for a subsector reclassification from "Equity Investment Instruments" to the "Real Estate Holding and Development" subsector, this application was successful and the Company was included in the "Real Estate Holding and Development" subsector of the list with effect from 24 June 2019.

3.2.4 The Company sold Forum Viseu on 6 March 2020 for a consideration of EUR 39.7 million.

3.2.5 In July 2021 the Company announced that it had identified investment opportunities within Europe which were in line with its investment strategy and that in order to effectively pursue these investment opportunities, as well as improve access to European capital markets, the Board had resolved to redomicile the Company to Malta (being a European jurisdiction) and to voluntarily delist the 0.44% of the Company's ordinary shares listed on the Official Market in Mauritius.

3.2.6 As part of this process the Company offered shareholders holding their shares on the Mauritian share register either to accept a buy-back offer or to have their shares rematerialised and subsequent to delisting hold their shares in certificated form. The Memorandum and Articles were also significantly changed as part of this process. Following the closure of the buy-back offer, on 29 October 2021 the Company's ordinary shares were delisted from the Official Market.

3.2.7 On 30 September 2021 the Company concluded the acquisition of a 75% share in a portfolio of four dominant French retail shopping centres (described in paragraph 3.5) from Wereldhave Retail France SAS for a cash consideration of circa EUR 305 million as well as related net working capital. In advance of this portfolio acquisition, all the listed investments held at the time, other than the interest in Hammerson (described in paragraph 3.5.2 below), were liquidated.

3.2.8 On 11 November 2021, following a recommendation of the Board, shareholders approved the reclassification of the Company and change in the nature of the listing of the Company on the JSE from an investment entity to a property company.

3.2.9 On 29 December 2021, the Maltese Business Registry ("MBR") issued a Provisional Certificate of Continuation to Lighthouse. The Provisional Certificate of Registration is substituted with the Final Certificate of Registration following the cessation of registration in Mauritius when the Registrar of Companies in Mauritius issues a certificate of removal. The Final Certificate of Registration was issued by the MBR on 22 February 2022. The date of removal from the Mauritian Companies Register was Wednesday, 29 December 2021, to align with the registration date in Malta. On 29 December 2021, the name of the Company was also changed from Lighthouse Capital Limited to Lighthouse Properties p.l.c.

3.2.10 In December 2021, Lighthouse agreed on an exclusivity period to acquire Torrecárdenas, a 61 589 m² dominant mall in Almeria, in the south of Spain. The agreed purchase consideration was EUR 162,5 million and represented an acquisition yield of 6,4%. The transaction was finalised and executed on 10 March 2022.

3.3 Investment case

3.3.1 Lighthouse strives to deliver both capital and distribution growth to its shareholders by investing directly and indirectly in dominant and defensive retail malls located in large and mid-sized Western European cities with a strong economic underpin and growth.

3.3.2 Lighthouse deploys the capital and resources at its disposal to create sustainable value for its stakeholders.

3.3.3 The investment goal is to deliver consistent dividend income from a diversified portfolio of investments, with the potential for capital appreciation over time.

3.3.4 The Directors intend to distribute substantially all of the Company's earnings to shareholders, after making provision for expenses and working capital, on a semi-annual basis in respect of the six-month periods ending 30 June and 31 December each year.

3.3.5 Lighthouse is committed to ensuring timeous, effective, and transparent communication with all stakeholders in its quest for optimal value creation.

3.3.6 The uncertainty during the recent period led to deep value opportunities which Lighthouse was able to take advantage of given its conservative balance sheet. Lighthouse significantly increased its exposure to physical retail real estate by acquiring a stake in four French shopping malls during 2021 and post year end successfully acquired a dominant regional shopping mall in Spain. During 2021 Lighthouse successfully raised ZAR 2,4 billion through an accelerated bookbuild which has maintained the Company's conservative balance sheet, even post these acquisitions.

3.4 Growth opportunities and prospects

3.4.1 Lighthouse is in a conservative financial position with a strong balance sheet and remains well positioned to take advantage of investment opportunities in the future.

3.4.2 The Company will target retail centre properties with strong sustainable income from high quality tenants with strong likelihood of renewal of leases on expiry.

SECTION FOUR - ADDITIONAL MATERIAL INFORMATION

22. RISK FACTORS

22.1 General

INVESTING IN THE SHARES INVOLVES CERTAIN RISKS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THOSE RISKS DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION. THE FOLLOWING RISKS ARE THOSE IDENTIFIED BY THE COMPANY AS AT THE DATE OF THIS PROSPECTUS. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER, TOGETHER WITH THEIR INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL AND OTHER PROFESSIONAL ADVISORS, THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS AND OTHER INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS AS WELL AS ALL THE OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE PROSPECTUS BEFORE DECIDING TO MAKE AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY.

THE RISK FACTORS BELOW HAVE BEEN CATEGORISED UNDER TWO MAIN CATEGORIES, ACCORDING TO WHETHER THE RISKS UNDER REVIEW RELATE TO: (I) THE COMPANY AND ITS BUSINESS; AND (II) THE SHARES.

THE RISK FACTOR APPEARING FIRST UNDER EACH SUB-CATEGORY CONSTITUTES THAT RISK FACTOR THAT THE DIRECTORS HAVE ASSESSED TO BE THE MOST MATERIAL RISK FACTOR UNDER SUCH CATEGORY AS AT THE DATE OF THIS PROSPECTUS. IN MAKING THEIR ASSESSMENT OF MATERIALITY, THE DIRECTORS HAVE EVALUATED THE COMBINATION OF: (I) THE PROBABILITY THAT THE RISK FACTOR OCCURS AND (II) THE EXPECTED MAGNITUDE OF THE ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANY, IF THE RISK FACTOR WERE TO MATERIALISE.

SOME OF THESE RISKS ARE SUBJECT TO CONTINGENCIES THAT MAY OR MAY NOT OCCUR AND THE COMPANY IS NOT IN A POSITION TO EXPRESS A VIEW ON THE LIKELIHOOD OF ANY SUCH CONTINGENCIES OCCURRING. SHOULD ANY OF THE RISKS DESCRIBED BELOW MATERIALISE, THEY COULD HAVE A SERIOUS ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE COMPANY'S FINANCIAL RESULTS.

THE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES DISCUSSED BELOW MAY NOT BE THE ONLY ONES THAT THE COMPANY FACES. ADDITIONAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, INCLUDING THOSE THE DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY MAY NOT CURRENTLY BE AWARE OF, COULD WELL RESULT IN A MATERIAL IMPACT ON THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANY. ACCORDINGLY, PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD MAKE THEIR OWN INDEPENDENT EVALUATION OF ALL RISK FACTORS, AND SHOULD CAREFULLY READ, CONSIDER AND UNDERSTAND THE PROSPECTUS AS A WHOLE BEFORE INVESTING IN THE COMPANY. IN ADDITION, PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS OUGHT TO BE AWARE THAT RISKS MAY BE AMPLIFIED DUE TO A COMBINATION OF RISK FACTORS.

22.2 Forward Looking Statements

This document includes statements that are or may be deemed to be "forward-looking statements". These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including but not limited to the terms "believes", "estimates", "anticipates", "expects", "intends", "may", "will", or "should" or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements are based purely on the intentions, beliefs or current expectations of the Company and/or the Directors. There can be no assurance that the results and events contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus will occur.

Forward-looking statements, by their very nature, involve substantial uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future, many of which are beyond the Company's control. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and should therefore not be construed as such.

The Company's actual results of operations and financial condition may, as a result of many different factors, differ materially from the impression created by the forward-looking statements contained in this document. In addition, even if the results of operations and financial condition of the Company are consistent with the


forward-looking statements contained in this document, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods.

Subject to its legal and regulatory obligations (including those under the Listing Rules), the Company and its Directors expressly disclaim any obligations to update or revise any forward-looking statement contained herein to reflect any change in expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based.

22.3 Risks Relating to the Company and its Business

A number of factors may affect the result of operations, financial conditions and prospects of the Company. This section describes the risk factors which are considered by the Board to be material. However, these factors should not be regarded as a complete and comprehensive statement of all potential risks and uncertainties.

Additional risks not presently known to the Board or that the Board currently considers to be immaterial may also adversely impact the Company's business operations. The business, growth prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations of the Company could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks.

| LISTED INVESTMENTS | • All securities investments represent potential risk of loss of capital, which may be increased by the investment techniques and strategies and the nature of the securities and or instruments to be purchased/or traded by the Company
• While the Company will devote its best efforts to the management of its assets, there can be no assurance that the Company will not incur losses
• Many unforeseeable events may cause sharp market fluctuations, which may be exacerbated by concentration of investments in certain assets or sectors, and could adversely affect the Company
• There is the risk of underperformance of listed investments, specifically the risk of forecast dividends not being received
• Changes in economic conditions, including, for example, interest rates, inflation rates, industry conditions, competition, technological developments, political events and trends, changes to tax laws and innumerable other factors can substantially and adversely affect the performance of the Company
• None of these conditions will be within the control of the Company |
| --- | --- |
| AVAILABILITY AND COST OF FINANCE | • A shortage of financing and refinancing at acceptable costs represent a potential risk
• Adverse changes in macroeconomic conditions or the Group's performance may lead to a rating downgrade and/or limited availability of capital
• The Group is exposed to interest rate risk on its loans to subsidiaries, interest-bearing borrowings and cash and cash equivalents, and adverse interest rate movements will increase this risk |
| INVESTMENT PROPERTY AND OPERATIONS | • The performance of any underlying property investments would be adversely affected by a downturn in the property market in terms of capital value or a weakening of rental yields
• In the event of a default by an occupational tenant, the investment will suffer a rental shortfall and is likely to incur additional costs, including legal expenses, in maintaining, insuring and re-letting the property
• Retail property, like other asset classes, is affected by economic cycles
• In a downturn, sentiment will limit the number of potential purchasers even at reduced prices and any future economic recession could therefore materially adversely affect the value of properties |


26

  • Returns from investment in property depend largely upon the amount of rental income generated from the property and the expenses incurred in the repair, maintenance and management of the property, as well as upon changes in its market value
  • Rental income and the market value for properties are generally affected by overall conditions in the local economy, employment trends, inflation and changes in interest rates, which in turn may impact upon the demand for premises
  • The Company faces inherent general risks relating to property investment and development activities
  • Revenue earned from the properties held by the Company, the value of properties held by the Company and the operating expenses of the Company would be subject to a number of inherent general risks, which include, among others:
  • a competitive rental market, which may affect rental levels or occupancy levels at the Company's properties
  • the amount of rent and the terms on which lease renewals and new leases are agreed being less favourable than current leases
  • the periodic need to renovate, repair and re-lease space, and the cost thereof
  • the Company's ability to collect rent and service charge payments from tenants on a timely basis or at all
  • the Company's ability to manage increases in the cost of services provided by third party providers and/or increases in the cost of maintaining properties including, but not limited to, unforeseen capital expenditure
  • tenants seeking the protection of bankruptcy laws which could result in delays in receipt of rental and other contractual payments, inability to collect such payments, the termination of a tenant's lease or the failure of a tenant to vacate a property, all of which could hinder or delay the sale or re-letting of a property
  • whether the Company's properties are perceived as attractive, convenient and safe
  • changes in laws and governmental regulations in relation to real estate, including those governing permitted and planning usage, taxes and government charges (including those relating to health and safety and environmental compliance). Such changes may lead to an increase in management expenses or unforeseen capital expenditure to ensure compliance. Rights related to particular properties may also be restricted by legislative actions, such as revisions to existing laws or the enactment of new laws
  • reduced rental occupier demand for space and increased supply and occupier defaults
  • the Company's ability to obtain adequate maintenance or insurance services on commercial terms and at acceptable premiums or at all.
  • Part of the Company's strategy is to make selective acquisitions of additional retail properties
  • Successful integration of properties and property portfolios is affected by factors including the alignment of the management of the property portfolios with that of the Company, refurbishment required to bring properties up to market standard

| | Any delay or inability to integrate new properties and property portfolios efficiently could adversely affect operations and future financial performance
The occurrence/existence of any of the above factors could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operational results, financial position and performance
Future developments and acquisitions may be limited by:
- the failure to identify and acquire suitable property
- the Company’s ability to identify and acquire suitable property at satisfactory prices. In addition, the Company is likely to face competition from a variety of other potential purchasers in identifying and acquiring suitable properties. The success of the Company largely depends on the ability of the Company to identify, evaluate and execute investments
There is no guarantee that suitable investments can or will be acquired nor that investments will be successful, and, in the event of the failure of an investment, part or all of that investment may be lost |
| --- | --- |
| PROPERTY VALUATIONS | Property valuation is inherently subjective and uncertain and based on assumptions which may prove to be inaccurate or affected by factors outside of the Company’s control
Property assets are inherently difficult to value due to their lack of homogeneity and liquidity. The valuation of property and property-related assets is also inherently subjective, in part because all property valuations are made on the basis of information and assumptions which may not prove to be accurate, and in part because of the individual nature of each property. Furthermore, the valuations of the Company’s properties in the valuation report were made as at 30 June 2022 and the reports do not reflect any changes in the value of the properties or market conditions since that time
In valuing properties, the valuers are required to make certain key assumptions in respect of matters including, but not limited to, the existence of willing buyers, title to the property, condition of structure and services, deleterious materials, environmental matters, legal matters, statutory and regulatory requirements and planning, estimated market rental values, market-based yields, expected future rental revenues from the property and other factors
The adoption of different assumptions would be likely to produce different valuation results. The assumptions made may prove to be inaccurate or not borne out by future events and could negatively affect the valuation of the Company’s properties
Property valuations are complex, involve the use of data which is not publicly available and involve a degree of subjective professional judgement by the valuer
To the extent that valuations of the Company’s properties do not fully reflect the value of the underlying properties, whether due to the above factors or otherwise, this may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, business, prospects and results of operations |

27


| RETAIL PROPERTY ASSETS | • There are particular risks to shopping centre investments in addition to those relating to other real estate asset classes, including but not limited to:
– The commercial success of a shopping centre depends on it offering an attractive and appropriate tenant mix. If tenants vacate it may not be possible replace them with others which contribute to a good tenant mix
– Anchor tenants play a key role in both driving customer footfall and in attracting and retaining other retailer tenants in the centre. If an anchor tenant vacates and cannot be replaced with another of similar attractiveness, this is likely to have a significant impact on the performance of the centre
– As consumer preferences change, the tenant mix and brands in shopping centres typically need to be refreshed. It may not be possible to terminate tenancies of non-optimal retailers or introduce new brands in the short to medium term
– Shopping centres have high operating costs, and thus non-recoverable costs in the event of vacancies can be significant
– Shopping centres need specialist management and are management-intensive |
| --- | --- |
| REGULATION AND LEGISLATION RISK | • The values of assets may be affected by uncertainties such as:
– international political developments
– changes in government policies
– changes in taxation
– restrictions on foreign investment and currency repatriation
– currency fluctuations
– developments in laws and regulations of countries in which investments may be made
• Risks relating to amendments to stock exchange listings requirements and possible adverse changes to tax laws |
| DEVELOPMENT | • Reduction in returns and cost overruns could occur as a result of a development and refurbishment risk including contractor solvency and availability, which could affect the statement of financial position and the fair value of investment property |
| COVID-19 | • Following the outbreak of COVID-19 in December 2019 and the declaration of a global pandemic 11 March 2020 by the World Health Organization as a global pandemic, government authorities in many countries (including in Europe) have taken extreme measures to arrest or delay the spread of the virus including the declaration of states of emergency, restrictions on movement, border controls, travel bans and the closure of offices, schools and other public amenities
• These events have had a material adverse effect on general global economic conditions and market liquidity
• The impact of a health crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future, could also affect the global economy in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen.
• A health crisis may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks.
• The broader macroeconomic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic as described above could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and the financial performance of the Company |


22.4 Risks Relating to the Shares

| ORDERLY AND LIQUID MARKETS | • Orderly and liquid markets depends on a number of factors including but not limited to:
– The presence of willing buyers and sellers of Shares;
– The general economic conditions in which the Shares are traded; and
– The individual decisions of Shareholders
• The price at which Shares will trade depends on a number of factors, including but not limited to:
– The business sectors in which the Company operates;
– The performance of the Company’s operations;
– Large purchases or sales of the Shares;
– Liquidity or the absence of liquidity in the Shares;
– Currency fluctuations;
– Changes in legislation or regulations; and
– Macro-economic conditions over which the Company has no control |
| --- | --- |
| DIVIDEND PAYMENT RISK | • The Company’s ability to pay dividends is dependent on, amongst other things:
– Generating sufficient profits;
– The Company’s financial position and cash requirements; and
– Any relevant laws or accounting principles from time to time |
| FUTURE SHARE OFFERS AND POTENTIAL DILUTION | • Future offerings of new Shares could dilute the holdings of shareholders not participating in such an offer
• Future offerings of new Shares could affect the prevailing market price of existing Shares
• The effect of future offerings of new Shares on the market price of existing Shares cannot be predicted |
| PRE-EMPTION RIGHTS | • Shareholders may not be entitled to pre-emption rights in the case of an increase in the Company’s issued share capital
• The Company has a large amount of authorised Shares, meaning that Shareholder approval may not be required for future fundraising |
| EXCHANGE RATE RISK | • Shareholders bear the risk of any fluctuations in exchange rate between the currency of denomination (Euro) and the Shareholder’s reference currency, if different |
| PRICE RISK | • The price at which Shares trade, together with the volumes that trade, will be subject to fluctuations
• Share price fluctuation may be caused by factors both within and outside of the Company’s control |
| SUITABILITY OF INVESTMENT | • An investment in the Company may not be suitable for all potential Shareholders and Shareholders should consult their advisors in this regard |

  2. Subject to the provisions of article 85 of the Companies Act, the Directors are authorised to issue Equity Securities of the Company up to the maximum value of the authorised share capital as set out in the Company's Memorandum of Association.
  3. The authorisation set out in Article 3 shall be valid until the end of the Company's annual general meeting to be held in 2022, provided that subject to the provisions of article 85 of the Companies Act, the shareholders in general meeting may, by ordinary resolution, renew this permission for further maximum periods of 5 years each.
  4. Subject to article 88 of the Companies Act, the Company in issuing and allotting new Equity Securities:

(a) shall not allot any Equity Securities on any terms to any person unless an offer has first been made to each existing Member to allot to him at least on the same terms, a proportion of those securities which is as nearly as practicable equal to the proportion in nominal value held by him of the aggregate of the Shares, provided that where the issued share capital of the Company is divided into several classes of shares carrying different rights with regard to voting, participation in distributions or sharing in assets in the event of a winding-up, any new Equity Securities to be issued in only one of these classes should first be offered to existing Members of the that class and then to the other Members of the other classes; and
(b) shall not allot any of those securities so offered to any non-Members prior to the expiration of any period of offer made to existing Members in terms of paragraph (a) above or prior to a negative or positive reply from all such Members in respect of such offer. Any such Equity Securities not subscribed for by the existing Members in terms of their pre-emption rights may be offered for subscription to any person/s under the same or other conditions which however cannot be more favourable than an offer made under paragraph (a) above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any right of pre-emption referred to in this Article may be restricted or withdrawn by (i) an extraordinary resolution of the general meeting or (ii) the Board, provided that the Board is authorised to issue Equity Securities in accordance with article 85 of the Companies Act and for so long as the Board remains so authorised.

  1. The preceding Article shall not apply to a particular allotment of Equity Securities if these are, or are to be, wholly or partly paid up otherwise than in cash.
  2. A Member shall have the right to assign in favour of third parties the right competent to him to accept an offer made to him pursuant to the provisions of Article 5. Any assignee of such a right shall for the purposes of this Article be considered as an existing Member in accepting an offer made in terms of Article 5.
  3. Subject to the provisions of article 115 of the Companies Act any preference shares may, with the sanction of an ordinary resolution, be issued on the terms that they are, or at the option of the Company are liable, to be redeemed on such terms and in such manner as the Company, before the issue, may by extraordinary resolution determine.
  4. (a) Each ordinary share in the Company shall carry 1 vote.
    (b) Unless otherwise provided in the terms of issue of preference shares, on any resolution where preference shareholders are entitled to vote, each preference share shall carry 1 vote.

  1. Whenever there are preference shares in issue, the holders thereof, shall have the same rights as holders of ordinary shares in receiving notices, reports, balance sheets and in attending general meetings.

  2. Without prejudice to any rights that may be granted to the holders of preference shares in the relative terms of issue thereof, the holders of preference shares shall not have a vote at general meetings except on a resolution convened for the purpose of:

(a) reducing the capital of the Company; or
(b) winding up of the Company; or
(c) a proposal to be submitted to the meeting that directly affects their rights and privileges; or
(d) a proposal affecting the dividend on preference shares when the dividend on their Shares is in arrears for more than 6 months.

  1. A holder of a share option shall not be entitled, before the exercise of the option, to any voting rights or other rights whatsoever except for the rights expressed in the relative agreement or terms of issue. In particular, no dividends shall be payable or accrue in respect of any share option agreement unless and until the option is exercised.

  2. If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of Shares, any Shares may be converted from one class into another or the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of the issue of the Shares of that class) may, whether or not the Company is being wound up, be varied with the consent in writing of the holders of 75% of the issued Shares of that class, or with the sanction of an extraordinary resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of the Shares of the class. To every such separate general meeting the provisions of these regulations relating to general meetings shall apply.

  3. The Company may exercise the power of paying commissions or of making discounts or allowances provided it complies with the requirements of article 113 of the Companies Act. Such commission/s may be satisfied by the payment of cash or the allotment of Shares, whether partly or fully paid up, or a combination of both.

  4. In respect of a Share held jointly by several persons the name of only 1 person shall be entered in the Register of Members. Such person shall be nominated by the joint holders and shall for all intents and purposes be deemed, vis-à-vis the Company, to be the registered holder of the Share so held. In the event that the joint holders fail to nominate such a person, then the name of the first person of the joint holders shall for all intents and purposes be deemed, vis-à-vis the Company, to be the registered holder of the Share so held.

  5. In respect of Shares held subject to usufruct, the names of the bare owner and the usufructuary shall be entered in the Register of Members. The usufructuary shall for all intents and purposes be deemed vis-à-vis the Company to be the registered holder of the Shares so held and shall be entitled to all the rights and advantages conferred by membership of the Company, including the right to receive dividends and to attend and to vote at meetings of the Company but shall not have the right to dispose of the Shares so held without the consent of the bare owner. In the event that there is more than 1 usufructuary, the provisions of the preceding Article shall apply mutatis mutandis.

  6. The Directors shall not be bound by or required to recognise, even when they have notice thereof, any trust, nominee, equitable, contingent, future or particular representative interest, in any Equity Security or Debt Security of the Company, other than an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the registered holder.

  7. No Director shall be eligible to participate in an issue of Shares to employees of the Company without the prior approval of the Members in general meeting by ordinary resolution.

TRANSFER AND TRANSMISSION OF SECURITIES

Listed Securities

  1. All Listed Securities of the Company and/or Securities held or evidenced in dematerialised or uncertificated form, the register of which is maintained in a Central Securities Depository, shall be freely transferable and Articles 39 and 40 below shall not apply in respect of such Securities.

52


  1. All transfers and transmissions of Listed Securities, the register of which is maintained by a Central Securities Depository, shall be subject to the rules and regulations of the relevant Market (and/or the rules and regulations of the relevant Central Securities Depository) as may be in force from time to time and these Articles shall apply only insofar as they are not inconsistent with those rules and regulations. Subject to any applicable law and/or rule, Listed Securities may also be traded outside the Market on which they are admitted to trading.

Unlisted Securities

  1. Any Securities other than Listed Securities shall be transferred by an instrument in writing, which instrument shall be in any form that is accepted by the Directors (together with such evidence as the Directors may reasonably require as evidence of the right of the transferor to make the transfer, and, if the instrument of transfer is executed by some other person on his behalf, the authority of that person so to do), which instrument of transfer shall be executed by or on behalf of the transferor and the transferee, and the transferor shall be deemed to remain a holder of the Equity Security or Debt Security until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register of Members or the Register of Debentures, as applicable, in respect thereof. In no case may a part of a Share constitute the object of a transfer or transmission. The instrument of transfer must be delivered to the Company at the Registered Office or at such other place as the Board may from time to time determine for registration purposes and, in respect of a transfer of Shares, must be accompanied by the share certificates of the Shares to which it relates.

  2. In the case of an Equity Security which is not a Listed Security, the Directors may decline to recognise any instrument of transfer and refuse to register the transfer if:

(a) duty in terms of the Duty on Documents and Transfers Companies Act (Chapter 364 of the Laws of Malta), if applicable, has not been paid in relation to the instrument of transfer;

(b) the instrument of transfer is not deposited at the Registered Office or at such other place as the Directors may from time to time determine for registration purposes or is not accompanied by the share certificates of the Shares to which it relates and/or such other evidence as the Directors may reasonably require as evidence of the right of the transferor to make the transfer (and, if the instrument of transfer is executed by some other person on his behalf, the authority of that person so to do); or

(c) the instrument of transfer is not in respect of only 1 class of Shares; or

(d) the instrument of transfer is in respect of Shares pledged in terms of a pledge agreement duly notified to the Company and the instrument of transfer is not accompanied by the pledgee's consent to the transfer; or

(e) the instrument of transfer is in respect of Shares the transfer of which has been prohibited by law or by an order of the court.

If the Directors refuse to register a transfer, they shall within 2 months of the date on which the transfer is lodged with the Company, send to the transferee notice of the refusal and except in the case of fraud, return to him the instrument of transfer. The Company may retain any instrument of transfer or a notarised copy thereof that is duly registered.

Suspension of transfers

  1. (a) Other than in the case of Listed Securities, the registration of transfers of the Company's Securities may be suspended at such times and for such periods as the Directors may from time to time determine, provided always that such registration shall not be suspended for more than 30 days in any one calendar year.

(b) The suspension of registration of transfers of Listed Securities shall be effected in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Transmission due to death of Member

  1. In the case of the death of a Member, his Shares shall devolve upon his successors by will or by operation of law, as the case may be, but nothing herein contained shall release the person or persons to whom the Shares shall devolve, whether sole or joint, from any liability in respect of any Share solely or jointly held by him/them.

  2. Any person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death of a Member shall, upon producing satisfactory evidence of his title as the Directors may from time to time require, have the right to be registered himself as the holder of the Share or to make such transfer thereof as the deceased Member would have himself been entitled.

  3. Any person becoming entitled to a Listed Security as a consequence of the death of a Member shall, upon producing such evidence of his title as the relevant Central Securities Depository and/or Market may from time to time require, have the right to be registered himself as the holder of the Listed Security or to transfer such Listed Security.

53


  1. Where, in the case referred to in Article 43, a person so becoming entitled elects to be registered himself, he shall deliver or send to the Company a notice in writing signed by him stating that he so elects. If he elects to have another person registered he shall testify his election by executing to that person a transfer of the Share. All the provisions relating to the transfer of Shares in these Articles shall be applicable to such transfer; provided that the Directors, in the case of Shares that are not Listed Securities, may at any time give notice requiring any such person to elect either to be registered himself or to transfer the Share, and if the notice is not complied with within 90 days, the Directors may thereafter withhold payments of all dividends, bonuses or other moneys payable in respect of the Share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

  2. A person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death of the holder shall be entitled to the same dividends and other rights and advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the registered holder of the Share, except that he shall not before being registered as a Member in respect of the Share be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to meetings of the Company.

FORFEITURE OR SURRENDER OF SHARES

  1. If a Member fails to pay any call or instalment of a call on the day appointed for payment thereof, the Directors may, at any time thereafter during such time as any call or part thereof remains unpaid, require payment of so much of the call or instalment as is unpaid, together with any interest which may have accrued thereon, by means of a notice which shall also name a further day (not earlier than the expiration of 14 days from the date of service of the notice) on or before which the payment required by the notice is to be made, and shall state that in the event of non-payment at or before the time appointed, the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to forfeiture.

  2. If the requirements of such notice as aforesaid are not complied with, any Share in respect of which the notice has been given may at any time thereafter, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors to that effect, or otherwise be surrendered in favour of the Company by the Member to whom the said notice is addressed, if the Directors accept such surrender. The Member shall however retain the right to all dividends declared before the call was made and which have not been paid.

  3. When any Share has been forfeited in accordance with these Articles, notice of the forfeiture shall forthwith be given to the holder of the Share or to the person entitled to the Share by transmission, as the case may be, and an entry of such notice having been given and of the forfeiture with the date thereof, shall forthwith be made in the Register of Members relating to the Share; but the provisions of this Article are for guidance only and no forfeiture shall be in any manner invalidated by any omission or neglect to give such notice or to make such entry as aforesaid.

  4. A forfeited or surrendered Share may be sold or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit, and the Company may receive the consideration, if any, given for the Share on any sale or disposal thereof and may execute a transfer in favour of the person to whom the Share is sold or disposed of, who shall thereupon be registered as a holder of the Share. At any time before a sale or disposal, the forfeiture or surrender may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors may deem fit.

PROVIDED that while forfeited or surrendered Shares remain with, or under the control of the Company, they shall carry no voting rights and shall be subject to the provisions of article 109 of the Companies Act.

  1. A person whose Shares have been forfeited or surrendered shall cease to be a Member in respect of the forfeited or surrendered Shares, but shall, notwithstanding, remain liable to pay to the Company all the moneys, which, at the date of the forfeiture, were due and payable by him to the Company in respect of the Shares. His liability shall however cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all such moneys in respect of the Shares.

  2. The Directors may accept the surrender of any Share which they are entitled to cause to be forfeited in terms of these Articles. The same consequences shall arise from the surrender of such Share as if the Directors had passed a resolution for the forfeiture thereof in terms of Article 48, and any Share so surrendered may be sold or disposed of as a forfeited Share.

ALTERATIONS TO SHARE CAPITAL

  1. The Company may by extraordinary resolution:

(a) increase its authorised share capital by such amount as the resolution prescribes;

(b) consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into Shares of larger amount than its existing Shares;

(c) subject to the provisions of these Articles, sub-divide its Shares, or any of them, into Shares of smaller amount and the resolution may determine that, as between the Shares resulting from the sub-division, any of them may have any preference or advantage as compared with the others;


(d) cancel Shares which, at the date of the passing of the resolution, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person and diminish the amount to its share capital by the amount of the Shares so cancelled; and/or
(e) reduce its share capital, so long as this is superior to the minimum prescribed by law, any capital redemption reserve and any share premium account.

GENERAL MEETINGS

  1. The Company shall in each financial year hold a general meeting as its annual general meeting at such time and place as the Directors shall appoint, together with any other general meeting that may be called or requisitioned by any Director, or by the Members as provided hereafter.
  2. Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, the annual general meetings of the Company shall be held in Malta, unless otherwise resolved by the Directors of the Company, and at such time and place as the Directors shall appoint.
  3. All general meetings other than annual general meetings shall be extraordinary general meetings and shall be held in Malta, unless otherwise resolved by the Directors of the Company, and at such time and place as the Directors shall appoint.
  4. The Directors may convene an extraordinary general meeting whenever they think fit. Extraordinary general meetings may also be convened on such requisition, or in default, may be convened by such requisitionists as provided by article 129 of the Companies Act. If at any time there are not sufficient Directors capable of acting to form a quorum, any Director, or any two Members of the Company, may convene an extraordinary general meeting in the same manner, as nearly as possible, as that in which meetings may be convened by the Directors.

NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETINGS

  1. A general meeting of the Company shall be deemed not to have been duly convened unless at least 21 days' prior notice has been issued in writing to all Members entitled to receive such notice. This notice period may be shortened to 14 days provided that the general meeting is not an annual general meeting, that the Company offers the facility to Members to vote by Electronic Means and that a resolution reducing the period of notice to not less than 14 days has been duly passed by a majority of not less than two thirds of the Shares having voting rights or the issued share capital represented at the meeting.

PROVIDED that any draft resolutions tabled by Members and received by the Company after the date on which notice of the meeting is given shall be uploaded on the Company's internet site as soon as practicable after the Company has received them.

No other persons shall be entitled to receive notice of general meetings.

  1. A person shall be entitled to receive notice of, participate in and vote at a general meeting if such person is entered as a Member in the Register of Members on the Record Date and any change to an entry in the Register of Members after the Record Date shall be disregarded in determining the right of any person to attend and vote at the meeting.

  2. The accidental omission to give notice of a meeting or, in cases where instruments of proxy are sent out with the notice, the accidental omission to send such instrument of proxy to, or the non-receipt of notice of a meeting or of such instrument of proxy by any person entitled to receive it, or the non receipt of notice of a meeting by, any Person entitled to receive notice shall not invalidate the proceedings of a meeting.

  3. A Member or Members holding not less than 5% of the voting issued share capital of the Company may:

Furthermore, where the right to request items to be put on the agenda of the general meeting or to table draft resolutions to be adopted at a general meeting requires a modification of the agenda for the general meeting that has already been communicated to the Members, the Company shall make available a revised agenda in the same manner as the previous agenda in advance of the applicable Record Date or, if no such Record Date applies, sufficiently in advance of the date of the general meeting so as to enable other Members to appoint a proxy.

  2. Any notice convening a general meeting or an adjourned general meeting may be sent to Members by pre-paid mail at their last known residential address.

PROVIDED that notwithstanding the provisions of this Article, the Company may publish any notice convening a general meeting or an adjourned general meeting on its website or on the website of the Market on which its Shares are listed, provided that having sent a notice by mail to the last known address of each Member requesting his consent to the publication of notices convening the general meetings of the Company on the website indicated in the notice,

56

PROCEEDINGS AT GENERAL MEETINGS

  1. The Company may request Members to supply any such document as the Company may require to verify the Members identity for the purposes of participating and voting at a general meeting, provided that the Company may only impose such requirements as are necessary to ensure the identification of Members and only to the extent that they are proportionate to the achievement of that objective.

  2. All business shall be deemed special that is transacted at an extraordinary general meeting, and also that is transacted at an annual general meeting with the exception of:

(a) declaring a dividend,
(b) the consideration of financial statements,
(c) the consideration of the reports of the Directors and auditors,
(d) the appointment or election of Directors,
(e) the appointment of auditors and
(f) the fixing of the remuneration of Directors and auditors.

  1. No business shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum of Members is present, in person or by proxy, at the time when the meeting proceeds to business. Save as herein otherwise provided at least 3 Members, present in person or by proxy, entitled to attend and vote at the meeting and holding in aggregate not less than 25% of the paid up voting share capital of the Company shall constitute a quorum.

  2. If a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the commencement of a general meeting, the general meeting shall stand adjourned to such other day and at such other time and place as the Directors may determine and if at the adjourned meeting a quorum is not yet present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting, the Members present shall constitute a quorum. The adjourned meeting may be convened by shorter notice than that required by Article 60, provided that the first meeting was duly convened, that no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting except such business as shall have been specified in the agenda for the original convocation of the meeting, and that the Company provides at least 10 days' notice of the adjourned meeting, which notice shall state that Members present as aforesaid for the adjourned meeting shall form a quorum.

  3. The Chairman of a general meeting may, with the consent of any general meeting at which a quorum is present (and shall if so directed by the meeting), adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the general meeting from which the adjournment took place. When a meeting is adjourned for 30 days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting. Save as aforesaid, it shall not be necessary to give any notice of an adjourned meeting or of the business to be transacted at an adjourned meeting.

  4. The Chairman of the Board shall preside as chairman at every general meeting of the Company, or if there is no such chairman, or if he shall not be present within 15 minutes from the time appointed for the commencement of the meeting, or is unwilling to act, the Directors present shall elect one of their number, to be chairman of the meeting.

PROVIDED that if no Director is willing to act as chairman, the Members shall choose one of their number to be chairman of the general meeting.

  1. At the commencement of any general meeting, whether annual or extraordinary, the Chairman may set out to the meeting the procedure which shall be adopted for the proceedings of that meeting. Such procedure shall be binding on the meeting.

57


  1. The Chairman may, with the consent of any meeting at which a quorum is present (and shall if so directed by the meeting) adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unattended or unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place. When a meeting is adjourned for 30 days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting. Save as aforesaid it shall not be necessary to give any notice of an adjourned meeting or of the business to be transacted at an adjourned meeting.

  2. At any general meeting and at any meeting of shareholders, a resolution put to a vote shall be determined and decided by means of a poll.

  3. On a poll taken at a meeting of a company or a meeting of any class of members of that company, a member entitled to more than one vote need not, if he votes, use all his votes or cast all the votes he uses in the same way.

  4. Polls shall be taken in such manner as the Chairman directs and the result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was taken.

  5. In the case of equality of votes on a poll, the chairman of the meeting shall have a second or casting vote.

  6. A poll on the election of a Chairman or on a question of adjournment shall be taken forthwith. A poll on any other question shall be taken at such time as the Chairman of the meeting directs, and any business other than that for which a poll has been demanded may proceed pending the taking of the poll.

CALCULATION OF THE QUANTUM OF AWARDS

5. AWARD FORMULA

5.1 The calculation of the quantum of Awards shall differ based on whether the relevant Participant is a Tier 1 Participant, Tier 2 Participant or Tier 3 Participant, with the applicable Award Formulas in respect of these three baskets of Participants set out in rules 5.4 and 5.5 below, respectively.

Accordingly, no Tier 1 Participant shall receive an Award where none of the Performance Factors meet the applicable threshold level.
5.3 At the Non-Tier 1 Participant level, in determining whether a Non-Tier 1 Participant qualifies for an Award, both the performance of the Group (as captured in the Business Score) and the individual Participant's performance (as captured in his Individual Score) shall contribute as drivers. The weighting of these two drivers shall vary depending on whether the Non-Tier 1 Participant is a Tier 2 Participant or a Tier 3 Participant.


73

5.4 Tier 1 Participants

The formula for determining the quantum of an Award that a Tier 1 Participant qualifies for is:

FORMULA ITEM FORMULA SOURCE
On-target Award: TGP x Responsibility Factor See Annexure B
Business Score: Business Score * See Annexure D

Award** = On-target Award x Business Score

  • The Business Score comprises an aggregate score based on a combination of financial, qualitative and operational Performance Factors, each of which is attributed a specific weighting. These Performance Factors and the applicable weighting attached to each of them vis-à-vis the others is set out in [X]. The Business Score is thus computed as one or the other or a combination of the following: (financial metrics x Weighting) + (qualitative metrics x Weighting) + (operational metrics x Weighting).
    ** The Award is subject to the Award Cap.

5.5 Non-Tier 1 Participants

Executive management will recommend Awards for Non-Tier 1 Participants to the Remuneration Committee for approval. The quantum of the recommended Award will be determined based on the following formula:

FORMULA ITEM FORMULA SOURCE
On-target Award: TGP x Responsibility Factor** See Annexure B
Performance Score Percentage: (Individual Score x Individual Performance Weighting) + (Business Score x Business Performance Weighting*) See Annexure C and Annexure D

Award*** = On-target Award x Performance Score Percentage

  • The Business Score comprises an aggregate score based on a combination of shareholder return, financial, qualitative and operational Performance Factors, each of which is attributed a specific weighting. These Performance Factors and the applicable weighting attached to each of them vis-à-vis the others is set out in [X]. The Business Score is thus computed as one or the other or a combination of the following: (shareholder return x Weighting) + (financial metrics x Weighting) + (qualitative metrics x Weighting) + (operational metrics x Weighting).
    ** The Responsibility Factor varies depending on whether the Non-Tier 1 Participant is a Tier 2 Participant or a Tier 3 Participant.
    *** The weighting attributed to each of the Individual Score and the Business Score varies depending on whether the Non-Tier 1 Participant is a Tier 2 Participant or a Tier 3 Participant.
    *** The Award is subject to the Award Cap.

5.6 Refer to Annexure E for an example of how the Awards in respect of Tier 1 Participant, Tier 2 Participants and Tier 3 Participants, respectively, are to be calculated.

The Responsibility Factor is expressed as a percentage of an Employee's TGP ("Responsibility Factor"). The percentage ascribed as the Responsibility Factor in relation to each Responsibility Level has been, and shall continue to be, determined by the Remuneration Committee and amended by the Remuneration Committee, based on the remuneration levels in the market from time to time of persons at the various job levels and positions of seniority comprising the different Responsibility Levels.

COMPANY OBLIGATIONS AND CAPITAL EVENTS

  1. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN

16.1 Making of Awards

16.1.1 The Remuneration Committee may, on the recommendation of any Employer Company, make Awards to Employees:

16.1.1.1 after the Plan has been approved by the shareholders of the Company; and

16.1.1.2 on any day on which there are no restrictions on the making of Awards, being restrictions imposed by a Prohibited Period, statute, order, regulation or directive, or by any code adopted by the Company relating to dealings in Shares by Directors or the Applicable Listings Requirements, as the case may be.

16.2 Basis of Awards

16.2.1 The Remuneration Committee may from time to time call upon Employer Companies to nominate Employees for participation in the Plan. [LR 14.1(f)]

16.2.2 The Remuneration Committee will have final authority to decide –

16.2.2.1 which Employees will participate in the Plan in respect of each Award;

16.2.2.2 the "Tier" status to be denoted to any Participant;

16.2.2.3 subject to rule 20, the aggregate quantum of Awards to all Employees in terms of rules 5 to 10;

16.2.2.4 subject to rule 20, the number of Forfeitable Shares that may comprise a Forfeitable Share Award to an Employee by taking into account the mechanics contemplated in rules 5 to 10;

16.2.2.5 the Employment Condition;


16.2.2.6 Employment Periods; and
16.2.2.7 all other issues relating to the governance and administration of the Plan.

16.3 Procedure for making Awards

16.3.1 When the Remuneration Committee approves Awards, the Company and the Employer Company of each Employee who has been approved for participation in the Plan will be notified.
16.3.2 The Company Official will issue an Award Letter to every Employee who has been approved for participation in the Plan as soon as is practically possible after receiving the Remuneration Committee's notification in terms of Rule 16.3.1.

17. CHANGE OF CONTROL

17.1 Early Vesting of Awards

17.1.1 Subject to Rule 17.4, where there is a Change of Control of the Company before the expiry of the Employment Period, all Unvested Forfeitable Share Awards will Vest as soon as reasonably practicable after the Change of Control becomes effective, as set out below. [LR 14.1(g)]
17.1.2 The proportion of a Forfeitable Share Award which will Vest will be determined by the Remuneration Committee in its absolute discretion taking into account such factors as it may consider relevant including, but not limited to, the time the Forfeitable Share Award has been held by the Participant.
17.1.3 If the extent of Vesting of a Forfeitable Share Award which Vests in terms of this rule 17 has been reduced by the Remuneration Committee to reflect the period of time that the Forfeitable Share Award has been held by the Participant, the Remuneration Committee may determine that rule 17.4 will apply to the proportion of the Forfeitable Share Award reflecting such reduction which has not Vested.

17.2 Winding-up of the Company

17.2.1 If notice is given of a resolution for the voluntary winding-up of the Company as a result of a Change of Control, all Unvested Forfeitable Share Awards will Vest on the date notice is given.
17.2.2 The proportion of a Forfeitable Share Award which will Vest will be determined in accordance with Rule 17.1.2, and the Remuneration Committee will determine in its absolute discretion that either (i) Rule 17.4 will apply to the proportion of the Forfeitable Share Award reflecting such reduction which has not Vested, or (ii) the portion of the Forfeitable Share Award that does not Vest will lapse.

17.3 Notification of Participants

The Remuneration Committee will, as soon as reasonably practicable, notify each Participant of the occurrence of an event giving rise to a Change of Control and explain how this affects his position in terms of the Plan.

17.4 Continuation, exchange or conversion of Awards

The portion of the Forfeitable Share Award that does not Vest on the Change of Control Date will (except on the termination of the Plan as a result of the Change of Control, in which case it will lapse) continue to be subject to the terms of the Award Letter relating thereto, unless the Remuneration Committee determines that the terms of the Award Letter relating thereto are no longer appropriate. In this case, the Remuneration Committee will make such adjustment to the number of Forfeitable Share Awards, or exchange or convert Forfeitable Share Awards into new awards in respect of shares in one or more other companies, provided the Participants are no worse off. [LR 14.3(a)]

17.5 Other events that do not result in a Change of Control

17.5.1 Subject to Rule 18, if any other event happens which may affect the Forfeitable Share Awards, including the Shares ceasing to be listed on the JSE (unless this is pursuant to a Change of Control) or if there is an internal reconstruction or other event which does not result in a Change of Control, the Unvested Forfeitable Share Award held by a Participant will not Vest as a consequence of that event and will continue to be governed by the Rules of the Plan.


17.5.2 However, the Remuneration Committee may take such action as it considers appropriate to protect the interests of Participants following the occurrence of such event, including exchanging or converting Awards into awards in respect of shares in one or more other companies, provided the Participant is no worse off.

18. VARIATION IN SHARE CAPITAL

18.1 A "Variation in Share Capital" shall occur pursuant to the occurrence/implementation of any of the following corporate actions – [LR 14.3(b)]

18.1.3 a subdivision of Shares; or

18.1.5 the Company entering into a scheme of arrangement as contemplated in section 114 of the Act; or
18.1.6 the Company making distributions, including a reduction of capital, a special dividend and distribution in specie, other than a dividend paid in the ordinary course of business.

18.2 In the event of a Variation in Share Capital, Participants will continue to participate in the Plan. The Remuneration Committee will make such adjustment to the terms of Unvested Forfeitable Share Awards or take such other action which would result in the Participant's Forfeitable Share Awards representing an equivalent proportion of the equity capital of the Company and maintaining an equivalent value as was the case prior to the Variation in Share Capital.

18.3 The issue of Shares as consideration for an acquisition, and the issue of Shares or a vendor consideration placing will not be regarded as a circumstance that requires any adjustment to the terms of Unvested Forfeitable Share Awards. [LR 14.3(c)]

18.4 The Company will notify the Participants of any adjustments which are made under rule 18.2 and will further comply with rules 20.3.1 to 20.3.5. Where necessary, in respect of any such adjustments, the Company's Auditors or independent advisors, acting as experts and not as arbitrators and whose decision will be final and binding on all persons affected thereby, will confirm to the Company in writing that these are calculated on a reasonable and non-prejudicial basis. [LR 14.3(d)]

18.5 Any adjustments made will be reported in the Company's annual financial statements in the year during which the adjustment is made. [LR 14.3(e)]

18.6 If the Company is placed into liquidation for purposes other than a reorganisation or as a result of a Change of Control in accordance with rule 16, any Unvested Forfeitable Share Awards will lapse from the Liquidation Date. [LR 14.1(e)]

19.1 Subject to Rule 19.3, the Remuneration Committee may at any time, alter, vary or add to these terms and conditions as it thinks fit, including for ease of the administration of the Plan, to comply with or take account of the provisions of any proposed or existing legislation or to obtain or maintain favourable, taxation or regulatory treatment of any Company in any Employer Company or any present or future Participant and the adoption of a Country Schedule for the benefit of Employees of the Group working outside South Africa.

20.3.2 The Remuneration Committee may adjust the number of Shares which comprise the individual limit stated in Rule 20.2, without the prior approval of shareholders in the Company, to take account of a Capitalisation Issue, a dividend in specie (other than a dividend paid in the ordinary course of business out of the current year's retained earnings), a Rights Issue or a scheme of arrangement as contemplated in section 114 of the Act, including a reduction in the capital of the Company.

24. SHARE ISSUES AND ACQUISITIONS

Shares will only be issued or purchased once a Participant has been formally identified. [LR 14.9(a)]

A separate Country Schedule detailing the provisions in respect of such jurisdiction may be adopted in addition to, or instead of, paying a cash amount in lieu of Shares on the Settlement Date.

26.2 An Employer Company may withhold any amount required –

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

The Board recognises the importance of sound corporate governance and endorses and monitors compliance with the King IV Report on Corporate Governance in South Africa ("King IV"). The Board confirms that the Company complies with the provisions of King IV in all material respects.

The Directors recognise that, through good governance, the Company will realise an ethical culture, good performance, effective control and legitimacy. The Directors in particular recognise the need to manage the Group with integrity and to provide effective leadership based on an ethical foundation. This includes timely, relevant and meaningful reporting to shareholders and other stakeholders, that provide a proper and objective overview on the Company and its activities, directing the strategy and operations of the Group with the intention of building a sustainable business, and considering the short and long-term impact of this strategy on the economy, society and the environment.

The Directors' varied backgrounds and experience provide Lighthouse with an appropriate mix of knowledge and expertise that is necessary to manage the business effectively. Furthermore, a clear division of responsibilities at Board level will ensure a balance of power and authority, so that no individual can take unilateral decisions.

CUSTOMERS

Customer satisfaction is an overriding concern for the Group, and plays a vital role in property management. In the current highly competitive environment, the Group's success depends on meeting customers' needs.

GOVERNMENT

The Group seeks to build and manage a sound relationship with governmental authorities on an arm's length basis. No attempts to improperly influence governmental decisions by offering, paying, soliciting, or accepting bribes, in any shape or form are tolerated.

SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

The Group is an integral part of the community in which it operates and is committed to building sound relationships, based on trust, honesty, and fairness. Not only is environmental compliance legally obligatory, but it is also an important component of the Group's commitment to the community and developing its good reputation. Lighthouse therefore is dedicated to minimising the environmental impact of its activities by reducing waste, emissions and discharges, and using energy efficiently.

KING IV

So as to allow shareholders to make an informed assessment of the quality of governance insofar as the application of each of the 17 principles of King IV is concerned, set out below is a narrative explanation of the Company's application of each principle.

  1. The Board of Directors should lead ethically and effectively

The Directors hold one another accountable for decision-making and behave ethically. The Chairperson is tasked to monitor this as part of his duties.

Ultimate control of the Company rests with the Board of Directors while the executive management is responsible for the proper management of the Company. The Board has approved a statement of accountabilities

  1. The Board of Directors should govern the ethics of the Company in a way that supports the establishment of an ethical culture

The Board is the primary body responsible for the corporate governance values of the Group. While control is delegated to management in the day-to-day management of the Group, the Board retains full and effective control over the Group.

A formal Board charter has been adopted. All Directors subscribe to a code of ethics. The code of ethics deals with duties of care and skill, as well as those of good faith, including honesty, integrity and the need to always act in the best interests of the Company.

  1. The Board of Directors should ensure that the Company is and is seen to be a responsible corporate citizen

The Board is the guardian of the values and ethics of the Group and ensures that it is seen as a responsible corporate citizen. The responsibility for monitoring the overall responsible corporate citizenship performance of the organisation is delegated to the Social and Ethics Committee by the Board.

Refer to the report of the Social and Ethics Committee on the Lighthouse website at https://www.lighthouse.mt/corporate-governance/ for more information on how Lighthouse addresses responsible citizenship.

  1. The Board of Directors should appreciate that the Company's core purpose, its risks and opportunities, strategy, business model, performance and sustainable development are all inseparable elements of the value creation process

The Board's primary responsibility is to ensure that Lighthouse creates value for its shareholders. In so doing, it considers the legitimate interests and expectations of stakeholders, which include present and potential future investors in Lighthouse.

Lighthouse sets and achieves its strategic initiatives with reference to its risks and opportunities. The Board assesses both the positive and negative outcomes resulting from its business model continuously and responds to it.


  1. The Board of Directors should ensure that reports issued by the Company enable stakeholders to make informed assessments of the Company's performance and its short, medium and long-term prospects

The Board is responsible for formulating its communication policy, which includes clear, transparent, balanced, and truthful communication to shareholders and relevant stakeholders in its interim and Integrated Reports to stakeholders.

Lighthouse details both its historical performance and an assessment of the organisation's financial, environmental, social, and governance performance and outlook. This, together with other communication, enables stakeholders to make informed assessments of Lighthouse's prospects.

  1. The Board of Directors should serve as the focal point and custodian of corporate governance in the Company

The Board's role and responsibilities and the way that it executes its duties and decision-making are documented and are set out in the Board charter.

At its meetings, the Board considers both financial and non-financial, or qualitative, information that might have an impact on stakeholders.

  1. The Board of Directors should comprise the appropriate balance of knowledge, skills, experience, diversity and independence for it to discharge its governance role and responsibilities objectively and effectively

The Board, with the assistance of the Nomination Committee, considers, on an annual basis, its composition. The Board is satisfied that there is a balance of skills, experience, diversity, independence, and knowledge needed to discharge its role and responsibilities.

The Board is committed to actively managing diversity as a means of enhancing the Company's performance by utilising the contribution of the diverse skills and talents from its Directors. The Board has an approved policy on gender diversity at Board level which requires the Nomination Committee to consider a broad and diverse pool of talent when considering Board appointments. The need for gender diversity must be balanced with the need to appoint individuals with the necessary skills and experience to serve on the Board.

The Board has not established a target for diversity on the Board. The policy will be reviewed on an annual basis to ensure that it appropriately facilitates diversity at Board level.

The Board comprises three executive Directors, one non-independent non-executive Director and six independent non-executive Directors. Directors serve for a maximum period of three years and are subject to retirement by rotation at the end of their tenure. Directors will then become eligible for election by shareholders in a general meeting.

Lighthouse believes that all Board members are suitably qualified and that the composition of the Board is in the best interests of all stakeholders, without prejudice to them.

The Directors are individuals of a high calibre with diverse backgrounds and expertise, facilitating independent judgement and broad deliberations in the decision-making process.

The Board has established six sub-committees to assist the Directors in fulfilling their duties and responsibilities. Each committee has a formal charter and reports to the Board at regular intervals. The charters, which set out the objectives, authority, composition and responsibilities of each committee, have been approved by the Board and are reviewed at least annually.

The composition of the committees of the Board and the distribution of authority between the Chairperson and other Directors is balanced and does not lead to instances where individual(s) dominate decision-making.

  1. The Board of Directors should ensure that its arrangements for delegation within its own structures promote independent judgment, and assist with balance of power and the effective discharge of its duties

The Board assumes the responsibilities for the induction of new Directors to the Board.

The Board of Directors' independence from the executive management team is ensured by the following:

  • Separation of the roles of Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer, with the Chairperson being independent;
  • The Board being dominated by independent non-executive Directors;
  • The Audit, Investment, Nomination, Remuneration, Risk and Social and Ethics Committees having a majority of independent non-executive Directors;
  • Non-executive Directors not holding service contracts;
  • All Directors having access to the advice and services of the Company Secretary; and
  • With prior agreement from the Chairperson, all Directors are entitled to seek independent professional advice concerning the affairs of the Company at the Company's expense.

100


The Audit Committee is satisfied that the auditor is independent as non-audit services are not performed and the audit firm has been appointed with the designated partner having oversight of the audit.

The Chief Financial Officer is the head of the finance function and has a financial manager reporting to him. Internal audit is fully outsourced and the Chief Financial Officer is responsible for overseeing and coordinating the effective functioning of the outsourcing arrangement, as and when applicable. An assessment of the effectiveness of the Chief Financial Officer function is performed annually by the Audit Committee.

  1. The Board of Directors should ensure that the evaluation of its own performance and that of its committees, its chair and its individual members, support continued improvement in its performance and effectiveness

After evaluating their performance internally in terms of their respective charters, the Directors are of the opinion that the Board and the sub-committees have discharged all their responsibilities.

Assessments of the performance of the Chief Executive Officer and Company Secretary are conducted annually, and no major issues or concerns have been identified.

The Company Secretary maintains an interests register and is available for consultation to shareholders upon written request to the Company Secretary.

All conflicts of interest and related party transactions have been conducted in accordance with the conflicts of interest and related party transactions policy and code of ethics.

  1. The Board of Directors should ensure that the appointment of, and delegation to, management contribute to role clarity and the effective exercise of authority and responsibility

In terms of its formal charter, the Board's responsibilities include the appointment of the Chief Executive Officer and the approval of corporate strategy, risk management and corporate governance. The Board reviews and approves the business plans and monitors the financial performance of the Group and implementation of the strategies.

Board members have full and unrestricted access to management and all Group information and property.

A detailed delegation of authority policy and framework indicate matters reserved for the Board and those delegated to management. The Board is satisfied that Lighthouse is appropriately resourced and that its delegation to management contributes to an effective arrangement by which authority and responsibilities are exercised.

The Board has considered the competence, qualifications and experience of the Company Secretary.), and deemed it fit to continue in the role as Company Secretary for Lighthouse. The Company Secretary is independent of Lighthouse and the relationship with the Board has been assessed and is considered to be at arm's length.

  1. The Board of Directors should govern risk in a way that supports the Company in setting and achieving its strategic objectives

The Risk Committee assists the Board with the governance of risk. The Board is aware of the importance of risk management as it is linked to the strategy, performance, and sustainability of Lighthouse. The Risk Committee implements a process whereby risks to the sustainability of the Company's business are identified and managed within acceptable parameters. The Risk Committee delegates to management to continuously identify, assess, mitigate, and manage risks within the existing and ever-changing risk profile of Lighthouse's operating environment. Mitigating controls are formulated to address the risks and the Board is kept up to date on progress on the risk management plan.

  1. The Board of Directors should govern technology and information in a way that supports the Company setting and achieving its strategic objectives

The Risk Committee assists the Board with the governance of information technology ("IT"). The Board is aware of the importance of technology and information as it is interrelated to the strategy, performance and sustainability of Lighthouse. The Board is ultimately responsible for IT governance.

The Lighthouse IT function is outsourced to a third-party service provider and is governed by a service level agreement.

The risks and controls over IT assets and data are considered by the Risk Committee.

  1. The Board of Directors should govern compliance with applicable law and adopted, non-binding rules, codes and standards in a way that supports the Company being ethical and a good corporate citizen

A framework of financial reporting, internal and operating controls has been established by the Board to ensure reasonable assurance as to the accurate and timeous reporting of business information, safeguarding of Company assets, compliance with laws and regulations, financial information and general operations.

The Board reviewed and was satisfied with the effectiveness of the internal financial and operating controls, the process of risk management and the monitoring of legal governance compliance within the Company.

101


There were no material or repeated regulatory penalties, sanctions or fines for contraventions of, or non-compliance with, statutory obligations.

  1. The Board of Directors should ensure that the Company remunerates fairly, responsibly and transparently so as to promote the achievement of strategic objects and positive outcomes in the short, medium and long term

Lighthouse remunerates fairly, responsibly and transparently so as to promote the creation of value in a sustainable manner.

The individual Directors' remuneration is disclosed. Lighthouse believes that this disclosure is sufficient and appropriately demonstrates alignment between remuneration and shareholders' returns.

  1. The Board of Directors should ensure that assurance services and functions enable an effective control environment, and that these support the integrity of information for internal decision-making and of the Company's external reports

The Board is satisfied that assurance results in an adequate and effective control environment and integrity of reports for better decision-making.

External audit

The external auditor is required to assess periodically, in its professional judgement, whether it is independent of the Company.

The Audit Committee has primary responsibility for making recommendations to the Board on the appointment, reappointment and removal of the external auditor.

The Audit Committee assesses the performance of the auditor and has satisfied itself as to the suitability of the external auditor for reappointment for the ensuing year.

The current auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers Malta, was appointed during 2021 (2020: BDO & Co).

Internal audit

The Company does not have a formalised internal audit department. This is primarily due to the fact that the majority of property management, brokerage and custodian functions are outsourced to external property managers, brokers and custodians who are subjected to periodic external audits and quality assessments.

  1. In the execution of its governance role and responsibilities, the Board of Directors should adopt a stakeholder-inclusive approach that balances the needs, interests and expectation of material stakeholders in the best interests of the Company over time

Lighthouse has identified its stakeholder *groups and actively balances their legitimate and reasonable needs, interests and expectations.

Lighthouse is committed to ensuring timeous, effective and transparent communication with shareholders and other stakeholders.

  1. The governing body of an institutional investor organisation should ensure that responsible investment is practiced by the organisation to promote the good governance and the creation of value by the companies in which it investments

Lighthouse ensures, through active participation and representation, that it exercises its rights and obligations with regard to its investee companies.

Sustainability is a key focus area of the Board, and is managed in the context of the Groups' various investments.

ANNEXURE 15

SOUTH AFRICAN EXCHANGE CONTROL REGULATIONS

Lighthouse obtained SARB Exchange Control approval for the listing of the Company at the time of the initial listing on the JSE. Subsequent to the JSE listing, and in line with the Exchange Control approval obtained from the SARB, ordinary shares in the Company are only be issued on market as listed shares. Any subscription for ordinary shares and trade in ordinary shares subsequent to the JSE listing may only be done in terms of the Exchange Control Regulations.

Set out below is a summary of the Exchange Control Regulations relating to any subscription for ordinary shares or the trade in ordinary shares in South Africa.

This summary of the Exchange Control Regulations is intended as a guide only and is therefore not comprehensive. If you are in any doubt you should consult an appropriate professional advisor immediately.

  1. South African private individuals

Any subscription for ordinary shares or the acquisition of ordinary shares on the market by a South African private individual will not affect such person's foreign investment allowance under Exchange Control Regulations.

A South African private individual need not take any additional administrative actions and can instruct its broker to accept, buy and sell ordinary shares on its behalf as it would with any other listed security on the JSE. Such ordinary shares are on the South African share register and are Rand-denominated.

  1. South African institutional investors

As announced by the Minister of Finance in the 2011 Medium-Term Budget Policy Statement, all inward listed shares on the JSE traded and settled in Rand are now classified as domestic for the purposes of Exchange Control. Accordingly, South African retirement funds, long-term insurers, collective investment scheme management companies and asset managers who have registered with the SARB Exchange Control Department as institutional investors for Exchange Control purposes and Authorised Dealers approved as such by SARB may now invest in such shares without affecting their permissible foreign portfolio investment allowances or foreign exposure limits.

South African institutional investors may therefore subscribe for ordinary shares or acquire ordinary shares on the market without affecting their foreign portfolio investment allowances or foreign exposure limits.

  1. Member brokers of the JSE

The Exchange Control Rulings provides for a special dispensation to local brokers to facilitate the trading in inward listed shares. South African brokers are now allowed, as a book-building exercise, to purchase ordinary shares offshore and to transfer the ordinary shares to the South African share register. This special dispensation is confined to inward listed shares and brokers may warehouse such shares for a maximum period of thirty days only.

  1. South African corporate entities, banks, trusts and partnerships

South African corporate entities, banks, trusts and partnerships may subscribe for ordinary shares or acquire ordinary shares on the market without restriction.

  1. Non-residents of the common monetary area

Non-residents of the common monetary area may subscribe for ordinary shares or acquire ordinary shares on the market, provided that payment is received in foreign currency or Rand from a non-resident account.

Non-residents may sell ordinary shares on the market and repatriate the proceeds without restriction.

Former residents of the common monetary area who have emigrated may use emigrant blocked funds to subscribe for ordinary shares or acquire ordinary shares on the market. The ordinary shares will be credited to their blocked share accounts at the Central Securities Depository Participant controlling their blocked portfolios. The sale proceeds derived from the sale of ordinary shares will be transferred to the Authorised Dealer in foreign exchange controlling the emigrants' blocked assets for credit to the emigrants' blocked account.


ANNEXURE 16

TAX CONSIDERATIONS

1. MALTA

1.1 General

Shareholders and prospective shareholders are urged to seek professional advice as regards both Maltese and any foreign tax legislation which may be applicable to them in respect of the Shares to be issued by the Company, including their acquisition, holding and transfer as well as on any income derived therefrom or on any gains derived on the transfer of such Shares. The following is a summary of the anticipated tax treatment applicable to the Shareholders in so far as taxation in Malta is concerned. This information, which does not constitute legal or tax advice, and which does not purport to be exhaustive, refers only to the shareholders who do not deal in securities in the course of their trading activity of business.

The information below is based on an interpretation of tax law and practice relative to the applicable legislation, as known to the Company at the date of the Prospectus, in respect of a subject on which no official guidelines exist. Shareholders are reminded that tax law and practice and their interpretation as well as the levels of tax on the subject matter referred to in the preceding paragraph, may change from time to time.

This information is being given solely for the general information of shareholders. The precise implications for shareholders will depend, among other things, on their particular circumstances and professional advice in this respect should be sought accordingly.

1.2 Malta Tax on Dividends

The Company, being a Maltese incorporated company, is considered tax resident and domiciled in Malta for Maltese income tax purposes and is therefore subject to Maltese income tax on its worldwide income and gains at the corporate tax rate which currently stands at 35%. A distribution by the Company out of distributable profits to any Shareholder should not be subject to any further Maltese tax (whether by way of withholding or otherwise) at the level of the Shareholder, subject to certain conditions.

However, the Company is obliged to withhold tax at the rate of 15% upon a distribution out of certain distributable profits (which were not taxed at the level of the Company and allocated to what is referred to as its 'untaxed account') to a Shareholder who is:

(i) a person resident in Malta (other than a company);
(ii) a non-resident person (including a non-resident company) who is owned and controlled by, directly or indirectly, or who acts on behalf of, an individual who is ordinarily resident and domiciled in Malta;
(iii) a trustee of a trust where the beneficiaries of such trust are persons referred to in (i) and (ii) above;
(iv) an individual who is a national of the EU/EEA (and his or her spouse where applicable), in specific circumstances referred to in the Income Tax Act (Chapter 123 of the laws of Malta), when such individual applies the tax rates applicable to Maltese-resident individuals.

1.3 Maltese Tax on Capital Gains on the transfer of the Shares

In terms of the Income Tax Act, Maltese income tax should be chargeable on any capital gains arising from the transfer of a finite list of capital assets including "securities" which are defined as "shares and stocks and such like instrument that participate in any way in the profits of the Company and whose return is not limited to a fixed rate of return".

In terms of article 5(6)(b) of the Income Tax Act, any gains derived on a transfer of shares listed on a stock exchange recognised by the Malta Commissioner for Revenue for such purpose, should be exempt from Malta income tax to the extent that such shares are held as capital assets by the shareholder.

Consequently, should the Shares be listed on a stock exchange recognised by the Malta Commissioner for Revenue as noted above, no Malta income tax should be chargeable on a capital gain arising on the transfer of the Shares, as long as such shares are held as capital assets.

Additionally, transfers by non-Malta residents are also typically exempt from Malta income tax, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions as outlined in the Income Tax Act.


105

1.4 Malta Duty on Documents and Transfers

In terms of the Duty on Documents and Transfers Act (Chapter 364 of the laws of Malta), Maltese stamp duty should only be chargeable on a finite list of documents and transfers including the transfer of marketable securities, including rights thereon.

A marketable security is defined in the said legislation as “a holding of share capital in any company and any document representing the same”. Having said this, in terms of Article 50 of the Financial Markets Act (chapter 345 of the laws of Malta), the transfer of financial instruments of a quoted company or any body corporate established by law should be exempt from Malta duty, provided that the transfer is made either on a regulated market or outside the regulated market on which they are listed in terms of article 45 of the Financial Markets Act or on a regulated multilateral system or an equivalent regulated market or a multilateral system in a non-EU member state or non-European Economic Area state.

That being said, to the extent that the Company has a valid Malta duty determination in place (which determination can be procured from the Malta tax authorities on the basis that the Company has more than 90% of its business interests situated outside Malta), qualifying transfers of Shares in the Company should be exempt from Malta duty. It is relevant to note that such exemption does not find application in the case of transfers to Malta ordinarily resident and domiciled individuals or to any other person who is owned or controlled, or acts on behalf of, an individual who is ordinarily resident and domiciled in Malta.

1.5 Exchange of information

In terms of the applicable Maltese legislation, the Company and/or its agent may be required to collect and forward certain information (including, but not limited to, information regarding payments made to certain shareholders) to the Malta Commissioner for Revenue. The Malta Commissioner for Revenue will or may, in turn, automatically, or on request, forward the information to other relevant tax authorities subject to certain conditions.

1.5.1 The OECD Common Reporting Standard

The Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (“OECD”) has developed a global framework, commonly known as the Common Reporting Standard (“CRS”) for the identification and timely reporting of certain financial information on individuals, and controlling persons of certain entities, who hold financial accounts with financial institutions of participating jurisdictions, to increase tax transparency and cooperation between tax administrations.

So as to introduce an extended automatic exchange of information regime in accordance with the global standard released by the OECD, CRS has also been adopted in the EU through the implementation of Council Directive 2014/107/EU of 9 December 2014 amending Directive 2011/16/EU as regards mandatory automatic exchange of tax information in the field of taxation. This has been transposed into Maltese legislation by means of Legal Notice 384 of 2015, amending the Cooperation with Other Jurisdictions on Tax Matters Regulations, Subsidiary Legislation 123.127 (“CRS Legislation”), and has been applicable since 1 January 2016. In terms of this legal notice, the automatic exchange of information obligations shall be extended to non-EU Member State jurisdictions with which there is a relevant arrangement in place.

Malta based financial institutions (“FIs”), defined as such for the purposes of CRS, are obliged to identify and annually report to the Malta Commissioner for Revenue financial accounts held by a reportable person, as defined under the CRS Legislation, and certain entities with one or more controlling persons, as defined under the CRS Legislation. Financial information relating to Shares and the holders of the Shares may fall within the purview of CRS and may be subject to reporting and information exchange provisions.

Under CRS, financial institutions resident in a CRS-participating jurisdiction, such as Malta, would be required to apply onerous due-diligence procedures for the identification of reportable accounts. Shareholders may be required to provide certain information and certifications to financial institutions, such as qualifying custodians or any intermediaries, to satisfy their obligations under CRS. Certain confidential information in relation to the Shareholders, and/or other reportable persons may be reported to the relevant tax authority, being the Malta Commissioner for Revenue in the case of Malta, and automatically exchanged pursuant to these arrangements with the tax administrations of other participating jurisdictions.

Prospective investors are advised to seek professional advice in relation to the CRS and EU Council Directive 2014/107/EU. Not complying with the CRS rules may give rise to certain fines or closure of financial accounts.

1.5.2 Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

The United States has enacted rules, commonly referred to as “FATCA”, that generally impose a reporting regime and, in some cases withholding requirements, with respect to certain US source payments (including dividends and interest), gross proceeds from the disposition of property that can produce US source interest and dividends as well as certain payments made by, and financial accounts held with, entities that are classified as financial institutions under FATCA. The United States has entered into an intergovernmental agreement with Malta dated 6 December 2013 regarding the implementation of FATCA within Malta which has been implemented into Maltese law through the Exchange of Information (United States of America) (FATCA) Order, Subsidiary Legislation 123.156 (“FATCA Legislation”).

Under the FATCA Legislation, financial institutions in Malta (defined as such for the purposes of FATCA) are required to satisfy applicable due diligence requirements to identify and report financial accounts held by specified US persons, as defined under the FATCA Legislation, and certain non-US entities, which are controlled by US Controlling Persons, as defined under the FATCA Legislation, to the Malta Commissioner for Revenue. The Maltese and US governments shall annually exchange the information obtained pursuant to the FATCA Legislation on an automatic basis.

Financial account information in respect of holders of the Shares could fall within the scope of FATCA and they may therefore be subject to reporting obligations. In order to comply with its FATCA obligations, if any, the Issuer may be required to obtain certain information, forms and other documentation on the Shareholders to report information on reportable accounts to the Malta Commissioner for Revenue, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, which will in turn report this information to the Internal Revenue Services in the US.

Financial institutions reserve the right to request any information and/or documentation required, in respect of any financial account, to comply with the obligations imposed under FATCA and any referring legislation. In the case of failure to provide satisfactory documentation and/or information, financial institutions may take such action as they think fit, including without limitation, the closure of the financial account.

The Company intends to comply with the FATCA Legislation and does not expect any FATCA withholding to apply on payments made to it.

Shareholders in the Company should consult their own tax advisors regarding the FATCA requirements with respect to their own particular circumstances. In particular, Shareholders who hold shares through intermediaries should check the intermediaries' intention to comply with FATCA.

Although the Company will attempt to satisfy any obligations imposed on it to avoid the imposition of the FATCA withholding tax, no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to satisfy these obligations. If the Company becomes subject to a withholding tax as a result of the FATCA regime, the value of the Shares may suffer material losses.

SHAREHOLDERS AND PROSPECTIVE SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO SEEK PROFESSIONAL ADVICE AS REGARDS BOTH MALTESE AND ANY FOREIGN TAX AND/OR DUTY LEGISLATION APPLICABLE TO THE ACQUISITION, HOLDING AND DISPOSAL OF SHARES AS WELL AS DIVIDEND PAYMENTS MADE BY THE COMPANY AND ANY PROFITS REALISED UPON DISPOSAL. THE ABOVE IS A SUMMARY OF THE ANTICIPATED MALTA TAX AND DUTY TREATMENT APPLICABLE TO THE SHARES AND TO SHAREHOLDERS BASED ON MALTA TAX LAW AND PRACTICE APPLICABLE AS AT THE DATE OF THIS PROSPECTUS. THIS INFORMATION, WHICH DOES NOT CONSTITUTE LEGAL OR TAX ADVICE, REFERS ONLY TO SHAREHOLDERS WHO DO NOT DEAL IN SECURITIES IN THE COURSE OF THEIR NORMAL TRADING ACTIVITY.

South African taxation

General

The commentary below is based on the current South African taxation laws as contained in the Income Tax Act and the Securities Transfer Tax Act 25 of 2007. South African tax legislation and principles are subject to change occasioned by future legislative amendments and court decisions. The commentary below does not constitute tax advice and is intended only as a high-level guide on the indicative South African tax treatment of:


  • foreign dividend distributions by Lighthouse to South African tax resident shareholders only in respect of those Lighthouse ordinary shares that are listed on the JSE;
  • foreign return of capital distributions by Lighthouse to South African tax resident shareholders only in respect of those Lighthouse ordinary Shares that are listed on the JSE; and
  • the future disposal of the Lighthouse Shares by South African tax resident shareholders only in respect of those Lighthouse ordinary shares that are listed on the JSE.

Accordingly, the commentary does not consider the South African tax treatment in the hands of shareholders who are not tax resident in South Africa who hold Lighthouse ordinary Shares that are listed on the JSE.

The commentary applies only to South African tax resident shareholders who are the beneficial owners of the Lighthouse ordinary shares that are listed on the JSE.

We have limited our commentary to cover only South African tax resident shareholders that constitute individuals and companies.

As noted above, on the basis that the commentary below does not constitute tax advice and is intended only as a high level guide, South African tax resident shareholders who will hold shares listed on the JSE should consult their own professional advisors to confirm their tax position.

South African income tax considerations on cash settled foreign dividend distributions

If Lighthouse makes a distribution to South African tax resident shareholders in respect of Lighthouse ordinary shares listed on the JSE, the South African tax implications for such shareholders will depend on whether such a distribution is classified as a “foreign dividend” or a “foreign return of capital” as defined in the Income Tax Act. Such classification will depend on the classification of the distribution under the laws of the Isle of Man. Broadly speaking, distributions made by Lighthouse exclusively from its retained earnings should be classified as dividends under the laws of the Isle of Man and should accordingly constitute “foreign dividends” for South African tax purposes.

The summary below sets out the tax implications arising upon the receipt or accrual of foreign dividends settled in cash. The South African tax implications in respect of a foreign dividend comprising of assets in specie or where the dividend comprises of further shares in Lighthouse may be different. Shareholders should consult their own professional advisors in order to establish the South African tax implications which may arise in the event that the foreign dividend is not settled in cash.

Individual shareholders

Cash settled foreign dividends received by or accrued to individual shareholders in Lighthouse are exempt from income tax, where such foreign dividends are received or accrued in respect of the Lighthouse Shares that are listed on the JSE.

Company shareholders

Cash settled foreign dividends received by or accrued to a company that holds shares in Lighthouse are exempt from income tax, if such foreign dividends are received or accrued in respect of the Lighthouse Shares that are listed on the JSE.

Imposition of South African dividends tax on cash settled foreign dividend distributions

Cash settled foreign dividends paid by Lighthouse in respect of shares that are listed on the JSE are subject to South African dividends tax at a rate of 20% subject to certain exemptions that may apply, depending on the nature of the shareholder.

Individual shareholders

Individuals are not exempt from dividends tax. Therefore, South African dividends tax will be withheld at a rate of 20% on any foreign dividends paid to the individual shareholders in respect of the Lighthouse Shares listed on the JSE.

Company shareholders

South African tax resident company shareholders are exempt from dividends tax. In order to ensure that no dividends tax is withheld from the cash foreign dividends paid to South African tax resident company shareholders, these shareholders must submit a declaration and an undertaking (in the form prescribed by the South African Revenue Service) to the CSDP or broker by the date determined by the CSDP or broker, or if a date has not been so determined, by the date of payment of the foreign dividend.

108

South African tax considerations on foreign return of capital distributions

Should a South African tax resident shareholder receive a distribution from Lighthouse that is not a foreign dividend (which may be the case in respect of distributions made other than from retained earnings, such as distributions made from share premium), the distribution will constitute a "foreign return of capital". In such a scenario, the shareholder will be required to reduce the base cost of his/her Lighthouse Shares with the amount of the foreign return of capital. If the amount of the foreign return of capital exceeds the base cost of the Lighthouse Shares in the hands of the shareholder, the excess will constitute a capital gain in his/her hands and the shareholder must account for capital gains tax on such capital gain, unless the shareholder can rely on a capital gains tax exemption.

A shareholder that holds at least 10% of the shares and voting rights in Lighthouse (whether alone or together with any other person forming part of the same group of companies as that shareholder) must disregard any capital gain in respect of the foreign return of capital. Accordingly, such a shareholder is effectively exempt from capital gains tax in respect of the foreign return of capital.

A foreign return of capital will not be subject to South African dividends tax.

Taxation on disposal of the Lighthouse Shares listed on the JSE

South African tax residents are subject to tax on their world-wide income including gains and losses on the sale of any assets, including shares.

The South African tax system distinguishes between the tax treatment of receipts and accruals of a revenue nature and those of a capital nature. Capital receipts and accruals are subject to capital gains tax, while revenue receipts and accruals are subject to income tax.

Tax implications where the Lighthouse Shares are held as trading stock

To the extent that the shares in Lighthouse are held for trading purposes, any gains or losses arising from the disposal of such shares will be revenue in nature and should be subject to South African income tax.

Companies are subject to income tax at a corporate income tax rate of 28%, whilst individuals are taxed on a sliding scale. The statutory tax rates for individuals range between 18% and 45%.

However, where the Lighthouse Shares were held as shares listed on the JSE for a continuous period of at least 3 years, any gains or losses derived from the disposal of the shares will be deemed to be capital in nature and therefore subject to capital gains tax as opposed to income tax (even if the shares were held for trading purposes), in terms of section 9C of the Income Tax Act. This provision will not apply in certain instances where the shareholder is a connected person in relation to Lighthouse.

Tax implications where the Lighthouse Shares are held for investment purposes

Receipt or accruals of a capital nature are subject to capital gains tax at an effective rate of 22.4% for companies (which is the inclusion rate of the capital gain into taxable income at 80% multiplied by the corporate income tax rate of 28%), and at a maximum effective rate of 18% for individuals (which is the inclusion rate at 40% multiplied by the highest marginal income tax rate of 45%).

For individual shareholders, an annual exclusion from capital gains can be applied against any capital gain.

A capital gain or loss is calculated as the difference between the proceeds realised on the disposal of the Lighthouse Shares and the base cost of such shares (broadly speaking, the cost incurred to acquire the shares). Where the proceeds derived from the disposal of the Lighthouse Shares exceed the base cost, a capital gain will arise in the hands of the shareholders. However, where the base cost of the Lighthouse Shares exceeds the proceeds, a capital loss will arise.

In certain instances where a shareholder disposes of the Lighthouse Shares on capital account, depending on the facts and circumstances, such shareholder may rely on the participation exemption from capital gains tax, subject to meeting very specific requirements. Accordingly, this should be examined on a case by case basis.

Controlled foreign company implications

In terms of the South African controlled foreign company ("CFC") rules, there must be included in the income for the year of assessment of any South African tax resident who directly or indirectly holds participation rights in a CFC a proportionate amount of the net income of that CFC, subject to certain provisos. In this regard, we note that only South African tax resident shareholders who hold (together


with any connected person) 10% or more of the participation rights, or who are able to exercise 10% or more of the voting rights, in Lighthouse should obtain advice from their professional advisors as to whether the South African CFC rules may be of application.

Securities transfer tax implications

Securities transfer tax is levied in respect of every transfer of the Lighthouse Shares that are listed on the JSE at a rate of 0.25% of the consideration (in some instances the securities transfer tax may be calculated with reference to the closing price of the shares). The member (i.e. broker) or the participant (i.e. CSDP), as the case may be, effecting the transfer of the Lighthouse Shares will be liable for payment of the securities transfer tax but may recover the securities transfer tax from the person to whom the shares were transferred.

Office 41 4th Floor

Malta

12 August 2022 [13.23(c)]

Dear Sirs

Re: Independent Property Valuer's Report on Forum Coimbra

INSTRUCTION AND PURPOSE

In accordance with our appointment as External Valuers to Lighthouse, we have valued Forum Coimbra, for financial reporting purposes in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard ((IFRS) 13 and the RICS Valuation Global Standards (January 2020). Our work has been undertaken in accordance with your instruction letter and is subject to our Terms and Conditions of Business and General Principles (as updated from time to time) and limitations and exclusions contained therein. Attention is drawn to the fact that save as otherwise required by law our liability howsoever arising in connection with this valuation shall not exceed the lower of €1 million or 25% of the reported MV in respect of each event or series of events giving rise to liability. We confirm that we maintain adequate professional liability insurance for claims that might arise out of this assignment.

BASIS OF VALUATION AND VALUATION APPROACH [13.23(d)]

Our valuation was carried out on the basis of "Fair Value" (in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard ((IFRS) 13), which is defined as: "The price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date." "Fair value", for the purpose of financial reporting under IFRS 13, is effectively the same as "Market Value", which is defined as: "The estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion." The valuation represents the figure that would appear in a hypothetical contract of sale at the valuation date. No adjustment has been made to this figure for any expenses of acquisition or realisation – nor for taxation which might arise in the event of a disposal. No account has been taken of any inter-company leases or arrangements, nor of any mortgages, debentures or other charge.

We have applied the Income Approach – Discounted Cash Flow methodology. All cash flows are prepared using the JLL bespoke Excel based valuation model currently used across continental Europe for other retail valuation mandates.

OPINION OF VALUATION [13.23(a)(i), 13.23(c)]

In our opinion, the Net Market Value of the freehold interest of the property as at 30th June 2022 is €183,867,000 (ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-THREE MILLION, EIGHT HUNDRED AND SIXTY SEVEN THOUSAND EUROS).

COSTS

INFORMATION SUPPLIED [13.23(a)(xiii)]

Title documents

For the purpose of the current valuation we did not have access to the property titles. We have assumed that the information supplied to us by the Client is correct and up to date, and that the only encumbrances, restrictions or liabilities of an onerous nature relating to the title of the properties and materially or adversely affecting them are stated therein. If legal reports have not been provided to us, we have made the general assumptions set out in our General Principles.

We have considered each property as it is free and clear of all mortgages, or other charges that may be secured thereon.

In arriving at our opinion of value we have relied on tenancy information supplied to us. We also reflected our understanding of the market perception of the financial status of the tenant and we have assumed that the tenant is capable of meeting its financial obligations under the lease contract, and that there are no undisclosed breaches of covenant.

We have inspected the property on the 28th June 2022 and made enquiries which we reasonably considered appropriate.

We assume that buildings comply with all statutory and Local Authority requirements including building, fire and health and safety regulations.

CONDITION

We have reflected the general condition of the property as noted during our inspection. We were not instructed to carry out a structural survey but we have reflected any wants of repair in our opinion of value as appropriate. We have also had regard to the conclusions of any technical due diligence reports which have been provided to us.

ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS AND GROUND CONDITIONS

We were not instructed to carry out a site survey or environmental assessment nor have we investigated any historical records to establish whether any land or premises are, or have been, contaminated. Unless we have been provided with information to the contrary, we assume the property is not, nor is likely to be, affected by land contamination and that there are no ground conditions which would affect its present or future use. If this assumption is found to be incorrect, then our valuation should be reviewed.

ASSUMPTIONS AND SPECIAL ASSUMPTIONS [13.23(f)]

We have valued in accordance with the assumptions stated in our General Principles. We have not made any Special Assumptions.

12th August 2022 [13.23(c)]

Dear Sirs

Re: Independent Property Valuer's Report on Torrecárdenas Shopping Centre

INSTRUCTION AND PURPOSE

In accordance with our appointment as External Valuers to Lighthouse, we have valued Torrecárdenas Shopping Centre, for financial reporting purposes in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 13 and the RICS Valuation – Global Standards 2022. Our work has been undertaken in accordance with your instruction letter and is subject to our Terms and Conditions of Business and General Principles (as updated from time to time) and limitations and exclusions contained therein. Attention is drawn to the fact that save as otherwise required by law our liability howsoever arising in connection with this valuation shall not exceed the lower of €1 million or 25% of the reported MV in respect of each event or series of events giving rise to liability. We confirm that we maintain adequate professional liability insurance for claims that might arise out of this assignment.

BASIS OF VALUATION AND VALUATION APPROACH [13.23(d)]

Our valuation was carried out on the basis of "Fair Value" (in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard ((IFRS) 13), which is defined as: "The price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date". "Fair value", for the purpose of financial reporting under IFRS 13, is effectively the same as "Market Value", which is defined as: "The estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion." The valuation represents the figure that would appear in a hypothetical contract of sale at the valuation date. No adjustment has been made to this figure for any expenses of acquisition or realisation – nor for taxation which might arise in the event of a disposal. No account has been taken of any inter-company leases or arrangements, nor of any mortgages, debentures or other charge.

We have applied the Income Approach – Discounted Cash Flow methodology. All cash flows are prepared using the JLL bespoke Excel based valuation model currently used across continental Europe for other retail valuation mandates.

OPINION OF VALUATION [13.23(a)(i), 13.23(c)]

In our opinion, the Net Market Value of the freehold interest of the property as at 30th June 2022 is €165,370,000 EUROS)

COSTS

Allowance for costs

No allowance in the above figures has been made for any expenses which will arise on actual or notional disposal of the properties or any tax liabilities which might exist. All rental and capital values stated are exclusive of Value Added Tax.

INFORMATION SUPPLIED [13.23(a)(xiii)]

Title documents

For the purpose of the current valuation we did not have access to the property titles. We have assumed that the information supplied to us by the Client is correct and up to date, and that the only encumbrances, restrictions or liabilities of an onerous nature relating to the title of the properties and materially or adversely affecting them are stated therein. If legal reports have not been provided to us, we have made the general assumptions set out in our General Principles.

We have considered each property as it is free and clear of all mortgages, or other charges that may be secured thereon.

Tenancy information

In arriving at our opinion of value we have relied on tenancy information supplied to us. We also reflected our understanding of the market perception of the financial status of the tenant and we have assumed that the tenant is capable of meeting its financial obligations under the lease contract, and that there are no undisclosed breaches of covenant.

INSPECTIONS [13.23(a)(iii)]

We have inspected the property on the 22nd June 2022 and made enquiries which we reasonably considered appropriate.


119

MEASUREMENTS

Floor areas have been provided to us by the Client and we have assumed that the properties have been properly measured in accordance with the Portuguese market best practice.

PLANNING [13.23(a)(vi)(vii)]

Unless otherwise stated in the individual property reports, we have not seen planning consents and we assume that the properties have been erected and are being occupied and used in accordance with all necessary consents and that there are no outstanding statutory notices. We assume that buildings comply with all statutory and Local Authority requirements including building, fire and health and safety regulations.

CONDITION

We have reflected the general condition of the property as noted during our inspection. We were not instructed to carry out a structural survey but we have reflected any wants of repair in our opinion of value as appropriate. We have also had regard to the conclusions of any technical due diligence reports which have been provided to us.

ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS AND GROUND CONDITIONS

We were not instructed to carry out a site survey or environmental assessment nor have we investigated any historical records to establish whether any land or premises are, or have been, contaminated. Unless we have been provided with information to the contrary, we assume the property is not, nor is likely to be, affected by land contamination and that there are no ground conditions which would affect its present or future use. If this assumption is found to be incorrect, then our valuation should be reviewed.

ASSUMPTIONS AND SPECIAL ASSUMPTIONS [13.23(f)]

We have valued in accordance with the assumptions stated in our General Principles. We have not made any Special Assumptions.

CBRE SUMMARY VALUATION REPORT – PLANET KOPER

Report Date 12 August 2022 [13.23(c)]

Addressee Lighthouse Properties p.l.c.

4th floor, Office 41, Block A, IL-Piazzetta, Tower Road,

Sliema, SLM 1605, Malta

(hereinafter referred to as “Lighthouse” or the “Company”)

The Property: Planet Koper shopping centre, Ankaranska cesta 2, Koper, Slovenia.

Property Description: Shopping centre, as further described in Appendix B below.

Ownership Purpose: Investment

Instruction: To value on the basis of Market Value the unencumbered freehold-equivalent interest in the Property as at the Valuation Date in accordance with the terms of engagement entered into between CBRE and the Addressee dated 11th July 2022.

Valuation Date: 30th June 2022 [13.23(c)]

Capacity of Valuer: External, as defined by the RICS Valuation Global Standards (2022).

Purpose: We understand that our summary valuation report is required for inclusion in a prospectus (the “Prospectus”) which is to be published by the Company pursuant to a public offering of new ordinary shares in Lighthouse and the subsequent admission of such shares trading on the Main Board of the JSE.

The effective date of valuation is 30th June 2022.

In accordance with the RICS Valuation Global Standards (2022) (“Red Book”) we have made certain disclosures in connection with this valuation instruction and our relationship with the Company.

Currency: In accordance with market practice or commercial property in Slovenia, we have valued the Property in Euros (€).

Market Value: 66 400 000 EUR (SIXTY-SIX MILLION, FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND EUROS) excluding VAT. [13.23(a)(i)]

Our opinion of Market Value is based upon the Scope of Work and Valuation Assumptions attached, and has been primarily derived using comparable recent market transactions on arm's length terms.

For the avoidance of doubt, we have valued the Property as real estate and the value reported herein represents 100% of the market value of the asset. No account has been taken in reporting this market value of the extent any relevant interests in the company holding the subject Property.

There are no negative values to report. The property is freehold-equivalent.

Report Format

Appendix A of this Valuation Report contains details of the Tenure. Appendix B provides the Property Details and Market Value of the Property. This Summary Valuation Report consists of a total of 18 pages.

Detailed Valuation Report

This is a condensed (summary) valuation report prepared for inclusion in the Prospectus. In accordance with the JSE Listing Requirements we have also prepared a detailed valuation report in respect of the property which has been delivered to the Directors of the Company and the JSE.

Before making an investment decision, investors should review the detailed valuation report to understand the complexity of the property and market, methodology and the many variables involved.

Market Conditions

The value stated in this report represents our objective opinion of Fair Value in accordance with the definition set out above as at the date of valuation. Amongst other things, this assumes that the property had been properly marketed and that exchange of contract took place on this date.

The Ukrainian conflict presents a significant threat to European economies, retail markets and wider real estate markets in both the short and medium terms. There are already various signs and consequences of the ongoing conflict. The rising prices of the main energy sources, including oil, gas and coal, are the consequence of the sanctions against the Russian Federation which is one of the main suppliers of these. As a response to sanctions from the EU, the Russian Federation has also limited the supply


of these commodities to most of European countries. Also the transportation of energy has been more difficult as one of the main gas pipelines runs through Ukraine. There have also been disruptions in the sale and transportation of other commodities such steel, wood and grain (mainly wheat), of which Ukraine and the Russian Federation are large producers and exporters. These limitations in production, supply and transportation have led to sharp increase in prices of commodities. These have led to large increases in utility prices throughout Europe and even energy shortages, and also increases in costs of construction materials and overall construction costs, utilities, maintenance and production of other goods. There has been evidence of increases in production costs of consumer goods and food & beverage as a consequence of increase in costs of energy and major commodities. All of these have led to a surge in inflation in all European countries. The inflation is impacting on consumption (i.e. lower retail spending in terms of food & beverage and consumer goods), which will impact shopping center turnovers in return. Also, the inflation is causing increases in interest rates and financing costs for real estate, which in turn is leading to reducing investor demand and increasing yield requirements.

Past experience has shown that consumer and investor behaviour can quickly change during periods of such heightened volatility. You should note that the conclusions set out in this report are only valid as at the valuation date. Where appropriate, we would recommend that the valuation is kept under review and that specific marketing advice is obtained should you wish to effect a disposal.

Rental Income

Unless specifically requested, we do not make detailed enquiries into the covenant strength of occupational tenants but rely on our judgement of the market's perception of them. Any comments on covenant strength should therefore be read in this context. Furthermore, we assume, unless otherwise advised, that the tenant is capable of meeting its financial obligations under the lease and that there are no arrears of rent or other payments or undisclosed breaches of covenant.

The valuation we have provided reflects the rental income as at the date of valuation, as set out within this report, which you have confirmed to be correct and comprehensive. It also reflects any issues concerning the anticipated cash-flow that you have advised us of, as set out within this report.

Compliance with Valuation Standards

The valuation has been prepared in accordance with the RICS Valuation – Global Standards (2022) ("Red Book"). The property details on which the valuation is based are as set out in this report.

The valuation is compliant with the International Valuation Standards and the JSE Listing Requirements.

We confirm that we have sufficient current local and national knowledge of the particular property market involved, and have the skills and understanding to undertake the valuation competently. Where the knowledge and skill requirements of The Red Book have been met in aggregate by more than one valuer within CBRE, we confirm that a list of those valuers has been retained within the working papers, together with confirmation that each named valuer complies with the requirements of The Red Book.

This Valuation is a professional opinion and is expressly not intended to serve as a warranty, assurance or guarantee of any particular value of the subject property. Other valuers may reach different conclusions as to the value of the subject property. This Valuation is for the sole purpose of providing the intended users with the Valuer's professional opinion of the value of the subject property as at the valuation date.

Sustainability Considerations

Wherever appropriate, sustainability and environmental matters are an integral part of the valuation approach. 'Sustainability' is taken to mean the consideration of such matters as environment and climate change, health and well-being and corporate responsibility that can or do impact on the valuation of an asset. In a valuation context, sustainability encompasses a wide range of physical, social, environmental, and economic factors that can affect value. The range of issues includes key environmental risks, such as flooding, energy efficiency and climate, as well as matters of design, configuration, accessibility, legislation, management, and fiscal considerations – and current and historic land use.

Sustainability has an impact on the value of an asset, even if not explicitly recognised. Valuers reflect markets, they do not lead them. Where we recognise the value impacts of sustainability, we are reflecting our understanding of how market participants include sustainability requirements in their bids and the impact on market valuations.

Assumptions [13.23(f)]

We have made various assumptions as to tenure, letting, town planning, and the condition and repair of buildings and sites – including ground and groundwater contamination – as set out below.

If any of the information or assumptions on which the valuation is based are subsequently found to be incorrect, the valuation figures may also be incorrect and should be reconsidered.

122


123

Variation from Standard Assumptions

None.

Methodology [13.23(d)]

We have adopted the Income Approach – Discounted Cash Flow Method (DCF) for the Property.

DCF was applied due to potential volatile revenues caused by lease expirations and expiry voids, potential market rental changes, rental indexation etc. It is also a market practice in Slovenia to value shopping centres on the basis of DCF.

Alternative Use

With regard to 13.27 of the JSE Listing Requirements, the Property is a modern, purpose-built shopping centre which is c. 99% let and as such not appropriate for alternative uses.

Value

The Property has been valued by a valuer who is qualified for the purpose of the valuation in accordance with the RICS – Valuation – Global Standards (2022).

Independence

The total fees, including the fee for this assignment, earned by CBRE d.o.o. (or other companies forming part of the same group of companies within Serbia) from the Addressee(s) (or other companies forming part of the same group of companies) are less than 5.0% of the total Serbian revenues.

It is not anticipated this situation will vary in the financial year to 31 December 2022.

We confirm that neither CBRE nor the valuers involved have any material interest in the Company or the Property.

We do not consider that any conflict of interest arises in us preparing this Valuation Report and the Addressee(s) have confirmed to us that they also consider this to be the case.

Disclosure

In accordance with the Red Book we make the following disclosures:

The following valuation work in respect of the Property has been undertaken by Nebojsa Nesovanovic, Head of Valuation Department SEE and Petar Jovanovic, Director in the past 24 months.

We confirm that we had previous involvement in property valuations for Lighthouse Investments d.o.o. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lighthouse) as follow:

  • 30th June 2022 – financial reporting purpose
  • 31st December 2021 – financial reporting purpose
  • 30th November 2021 – financial reporting purpose
  • 31st December 2020 – financial reporting purpose
  • 30th September 2020 – financial reporting purpose
  • 31st October 2019 – financial reporting purpose

In our opinion, this previous involvement will not prevent us from exercising the required levels of independence and objectivity for the current instruction. By signing of the Terms of Engagement, the Company confirmed that they have been informed of our previous involvement, as stated above – and are content that we should proceed with the instruction.

We have had further involvement as follows:

  • 31st December 2021 – secured landing purpose on behalf of NLB Bank

We have disclosed the relevant facts to you and NLB Bank, and have received everyone’s written, informed consent that it is in order for us to carry out your valuation instruction.

SCOPE OF WORK & SOURCES OF INFORMATION [13.23(a)(xiii)]

Sources of Information

We have carried out our work based upon information supplied to us by Lighthouse, which we have assumed to be correct and comprehensive, including the following information:

  • Rent roll, dated May 2022;
  • Floor plans;
  • Schedule of additional income, other revenues, operating costs and NOI calculation;
  • CAPEX schedule;
  • Energy Certificate, dated 18.4.2015;
  • Audited financial reports of Lighthouse Investments d.o.o., dated 14.2.2022.

The Properties

Our report contains a brief summary of the property details on which our valuation has been based.

Inspection [13.23(a)(iii)]

We inspected the Property internally on 14th July 2022. The inspection was undertaken by Nebojsa Nesovanovic MRICS, Senior Director.

Areas

We have not measured the Property but have relied upon the floor areas provided, which we have assumed to be correct and comprehensive. We have not checked these on site.

All areas quoted in this Valuation Report are approximate. Unless advised specifically to the contrary, we have made the Assumption that net leasable areas supplied to us have been calculated in accordance with local practice as appropriate.

We have relied upon the floor areas given in the rent rolls provided for Planet Koper which the shopping centre manager advise us are correct and comprehensive.

Environmental Matters

We have not undertaken, nor are we aware of the content of, any environmental audit or other environmental investigation or soil survey which may have been carried out on the Property and which may draw attention to any contamination or the possibility of any such contamination.

We have not carried out any investigations into the past or present uses of the Property, nor of any neighbouring land, in order to establish whether there is any potential for contamination and have therefore assumed that none exists.

Repair and Condition

We have not carried out building surveys, tested services, made independent site investigations, inspected woodwork, exposed parts of the structure which were covered, unexposed or inaccessible, nor arranged for any investigations to be carried out to determine whether or not any deleterious or hazardous materials or techniques have been used, or are present, in any part of the Property. We are unable, therefore, to give any assurance that the Property is free from defect.

Town Planning [13.23(a)(vi)(vii)]

We have made unofficial online Planning enquiries only. Information given within the online planning portals is given without liability on their part and we cannot therefore accept responsibility for incorrect information or for material omissions in the information supplied to us.

Titles, Tenures and Lettings

Details of title/tenure under which the Property is held and of lettings to which it is subject are as supplied to us. We have not generally examined nor had access to all the deeds, leases or other documents relating thereto. Where information from deeds, leases or other documents is recorded in this report, it represents our understanding of the relevant documents. We should emphasise, however, that the interpretation of the documents of title (including relevant deeds, leases and planning consents) is the responsibility of your legal advisor.

We have not conducted credit enquiries on the financial status of any tenants. We have, however, reflected our general understanding of purchasers' likely perceptions of the financial status of tenants.


126

Options or Benefit/Detriment of contractual arrangements

With reference to 13.23 (h) of the JSE Listings Requirements, since no information to the contrary has been provided, we have assumed that there are no contractual arrangements on the property (including any options) other than the leases which have a major benefit or are detrimental to the fundamental value base of the properties/details of options to purchase etc.

Other Matters – JSE Listing Requirements

With reference to the following JSE Listing Requirements:

13.23 (a) (ii) “registered description” does not apply to properties in Slovenia.

13.23 (a) (vii): Regarding town planning, see above and Appendix B below.

We refer you to “Title, Tenure, Planning and Lettings” (b) – (e) below.

13.23 (f) (iii): the rental reports and indexes stated therein do not apply to Slovenia.

VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS

Introduction

An Assumption is defined in the Red Book Glossary and VPS 4 to be a “supposition taken to be true” (an “Assumption”).

Assumptions are facts, conditions or situations affecting the subject of, or approach to, a valuation that it has been agreed need not be verified by the valuer as part of the valuation process. Assumptions are made when it is reasonable for the valuer to accept that something is true without the need for specific investigation.

The Company has confirmed and we confirm that our Assumptions are correct as far as the Company and we, respectively, are aware. In the event that any of these Assumptions prove to be incorrect then our valuations should be reviewed. The principal Assumptions which we have made are stated within this Valuation Report.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Assumptions made do not affect compliance with the approach to Market Value under the Red Book.

Capital Values

Each valuation has been prepared on the basis of “Market Value”, which is defined as:

“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 valuation represents the figure that would appear in a hypothetical contract of sale at the valuation date. No allowances have been made for any expenses of realisation nor for taxation which might arise in the event of a disposal. Acquisition costs have not been included in our valuation.

No account has been taken of any inter-company leases or arrangements, nor of any mortgages, debentures or other charges.

No account has been taken of the availability or otherwise of capital based Government or other grants.

Taxation, Costs and Realisation Costs

As stated above, no allowances have been made for any expenses of realisation nor for taxation which might arise in the event of a disposal.

Our valuation reflects purchasers’ statutory and other normal acquisition costs.

VAT

We have not been advised whether the property is elected for VAT. All rents and capital values stated in this report are exclusive of VAT.

Passing Rent

Passing rents quoted in this report are the rents which are currently payable under the terms of the leases.

Passing rents exclude service charges and VAT and are prior to deduction of any non-recoverable costs. Passing rents exclude turnover rents, mall incomes and other miscellaneous incomes.

Net Annual Rent

Net annual rent is defined for the purposes of this transaction as “the current income or income estimated by the valuer:

(i) ignoring any special receipts or deduction arising from the property;

(ii) excluding Value Added Tax and before taxation (including tax on profits and any allowances for interest on capital or loans); and

(iii) after making deductions for superior rents (but not for amortisation), and any disbursements including, if appropriate, expenses of managing the property and allowances to maintain it in a condition to command its rent”.

Estimated Net Annual Rental Value

The estimated net annual rental value is based on the current rental value of the Property. The rental value reflects the terms of the leases where the Property, or parts thereof, is let at the date of valuation. Where the Property, or parts thereof, is vacant at the date of valuation, the rental value reflects the rent we consider would be obtainable on an open market letting as at the date of valuation.

Rental Values

Rental values indicated in our report are those which have been adopted by us as appropriate in assessing the capital value and are not necessarily appropriate for other purposes nor do they necessarily accord with the definition of Market Rent.

Lease Expiries

Fixed-term leases frequently incorporate either tenants’ options to extend or tenants’ break clauses; other leases are rolling to indeterminate, subject to stated notice periods. For the purposes of our valuations, we have made assumptions as to appropriate presumed expiry dates.

Any weighted average unexpired terms indicated in our Valuation report reflect these assumptions.

The Property

Where appropriate we have regarded the shop fronts of retail and showroom accommodation as forming an integral part of the building.

Landlord’s fixtures such as lifts, escalators, central heating and other normal service installations have been treated as an integral part of the building and are included within our valuations.

Process plant and machinery, tenants’ fixtures and specialist trade fittings have been excluded from our valuations.

Environmental Matters

All measurements, areas and ages quoted in our report are approximate.

In the absence of any information to the contrary, we have assumed that:

(a) the Property is not contaminated and are not adversely affected by any existing or proposed environmental law;

(b) any processes which are carried out on the Property which are regulated by environmental legislation are properly licensed by the appropriate authorities.

(c) the Property is either not subject to flooding risk or, if it is, that sufficient flood defences are in place and that appropriate building insurance could be obtained at a cost that would not materially affect the capital value.

(d) that invasive species such as Japanese Knotweed are not present on the Property

Energy Performance Certificates

High voltage electrical supply equipment may exist within, or in close proximity of, the Property. There may be a risk, in specified circumstances, to the health of certain categories of people. Public perception may, therefore, affect marketability and future value of the property. Our valuation reflects our current understanding of the market and we have not made a discount to reflect the presence of this equipment.

We have assumed that the Property possesses or will possess current Energy Performance Certificates as required under Government Directives.


128

Repair and Condition

In the absence of any information to the contrary, we have assumed that:

(a) there are no abnormal ground conditions, nor archaeological remains, present which might adversely affect the current or future occupation, development or value of the property;

(b) the Property is free from rot, infestation, structural or latent defect;

(c) no currently known deleterious or hazardous materials or suspect techniques, including but not limited to Composite Panelling, have been used in the construction of, or subsequent alterations or additions to, the Property; and

(d) the services, and any associated controls or software, are in working order and free from defect.

Title, Tenure, Planning and Lettings

We have otherwise had regard to the age and apparent general condition of the Property. Comments made in the property details do not purport to express an opinion about, or advice upon, the condition of uninspected parts and should not be taken as making an implied representation or statement about such parts.

Unless stated otherwise within this report, and in the absence of any information to the contrary, we have assumed that:

(a) the Property possesses a good and marketable title free from any onerous or hampering restrictions or conditions;

(b) all buildings have been erected either prior to planning control, or in accordance with planning permissions, and have the benefit of permanent planning consents or existing use rights for their current use;

(c) the Property is not adversely affected by town planning or road proposals;

(d) all buildings comply with all statutory and local authority requirements including building, fire and health and safety regulations;

(e) only minor or inconsequential costs will be incurred if any modifications or alterations are necessary in order for occupiers of the Property to comply with the provisions of the relevant disability discrimination legislation;

(f) there are no tenant's improvements that will materially affect our opinion of the rent that would be obtained on review or renewal;

(g) tenants will meet their obligations under their leases;

(h) there are no user restrictions or other restrictive covenants in leases which would adversely affect value;

(i) where appropriate, permission to assign the interest being valued herein would not be withheld by the landlord where required; and

(j) vacant possession can be given of all accommodation which is unlet or is let on a service occupancy.
