Section 2: Transaction Summary and relevant considerations for Shareholders Section 3: Action to be taken by Shareholders Section 4: Independent Expert’s Report Section 5: ASX and Corporations Act Requirements Schedule 1: Definitions Annexure A: Independent Expert’s Report

2. Transaction Summary and Relevant Considerations for Shareholders

2.1 Background

Mayfield Industries Pty Ltd ( Mayfield Industries ), a 100% subsidiary of Mayfield Group Holdings Limited ( Mayfield ), proposes to enter into a sale and purchase agreement ( Purchase Agreement) with Mayfield Property Holdings Pty Ltd ACN 166 321 464 ( Vendor ) in relation to the acquisition of the property known as 3 Gidgie Court, Edinburgh, SA ( Property ).

The Vendor is an entity in which two of Mayfield’s directors, Lindsay Phillips and Alan Steele, are shareholders and directors. Details of shareholdings and directors of the Vendor are set out in section 2.6 below.

Mayfield Industries is the current lessee of the Property and uses it as its main manufacturing facility. The lease commenced in December 2013 and will expire in December 2023 with no right of renewal. The current rent is $499,157 per year (excluding outgoings) and is subject to annual CPI increase.

Mayfield Industries is a 100% subsidiary of Mayfield. Mayfield Industries is Mayfield’s largest subsidiary and produces customised switchboards, kiosks and transportable switch rooms for critical, electrical infrastructure for industries and utilities. Switchboard products are of ‘modular’ or ‘custom-built’ design. Modular configurations include the Okken-licensed, ‘fully-withdrawable’ solution and Mayfield’s own Moducell, ‘demountable’ solution, for industrial and infrastructure applications where process safety and reliability are critical. Products are characterised by high customisation, innovation and client collaboration.

The Property is used by Mayfield Industries as its main manufacturing facility where design, fabrication, assembly and commissioning operations take place.

The Property is expected to remain eminently suitable for Mayfield Industries business for the foreseeable future. Significant improvements have been made to the Property throughout the life of the lease and, if the Transaction proceeds, Mayfield Industries expects to continue to improve and expand the facilities.

Further information on the Property is set out in section 2.10 below and in the Independent Expert’s Report in Annexure A to this Explanatory Statement.

4

2.2 Purchase Agreement

Under the proposed Purchase Agreement, Mayfield will acquire the Property ( Transaction ) for total consideration of $7,425,000 (excluding GST) paid on settlement.

The Purchase Agreement does not contain any material conditions precedent to Completion.

It is presently anticipated that Completion will occur on or around 28 May 2021.

2.3

Funding

A loan facility of approximately $5.2 million has been secured from the Commonwealth Bank of Australia to fund the purchase price. The loan facility is interest only at 2.8% per annum, a term of three years and is otherwise on normal commercial terms that would be expected for a facility of this kind. The balance of the consideration will be funded from cash reserves of Mayfield and Mayfield Industries.

2.4 Rationale for the Transaction

The Directors consider that the Property is the best facility available in Adelaide in which to locate the business of Mayfield Industries for the foreseeable future. It is therefore considered in the best interests of Mayfield to permanently secure the facility by acquiring the Property.

As owner, Mayfield will be able to expand and modify the Property in order to optimise its use without any restrictions imposed by the owner and ensuring that it will obtain the permanent benefit of the capital expenditure incurred.

2.5

Details of the Property

The Property includes 26,590 sqm of land located 27 km north of the Adelaide CBD. Other major industrial facilities near the Property include a Coles distribution centre, a food processing centre for Inghams Chickens, and distribution centres for DHL and Toll. Other major facilities in the area are Edinburgh RAAF base and the former GMH automotive plant.

The building on the Property consists of an office and warehouse, with a total floor area of approximately 8,373 sqm. Extensive parking areas have been constructed. Mayfield Industries has made improvements during the lease term of over $1.1 million.

2.6 Details of the Vendor

The details of the Vendor are:

  • (a) Shareholders
Shareholder Number of shares
Alan Steele and Teresa Steele 303
Think Pech Pty Ltd 92
Nightingale Partners Pty Limited 302
Total 697
  • (b) Directors

Alan Steele – Mr Steele is a director of Mayfield. Mr Steele controls Amteal Pty Limited which is a substantial shareholder of Mayfield, having an interest in 14,987,275 MYG ordinary shares (17.68% of shares on issue).

Christopher Ware - Mr Ware is the General Manager of Mayfield Industries Pty Ltd and controls Think Pech Pty Ltd. Mr Ware is a substantial shareholder of Mayfield, having an interest in 5,968,384 MYG ordinary shares (7.04% of shares on issue

5

Lindsay Phillips - Mr Phillips is a director of Mayfield. Mr Phillips is a director of Nightingale Partners Pty Limited which is a substantial shareholder of Mayfield. Mr Phillips and Nightingale Partners Pty Limited together have an interest in 41,147,139 MYG shares (48.2% of shares on issue).

2.7

Advantages of the Mayfield acquisition

The Directors are of the view that the following non-exhaustive list of advantages may be relevant to a Shareholder's decision on how to vote on the Resolution:

  • (a) the acquisition of the Property represents an investment opportunity for the Company to acquire a significant property interest;

  • (b) Mayfield will achieve security of tenure of a property which is crucial to the current and future business of Mayfield Industries;

  • (c) Mayfield will be able to further invest in improvements to the Property without the risk of losing the benefit of those improvements if it were not able to renew the lease in the future;

  • (d) Mayfield will be able to make improvements to the Property without the need to obtain landlord consent;

  • (e) Mayfield will no longer be required to renegotiate renewal of the lease or relocate to an alternative property; and

  • (f) Mayfield will no longer incur rental expenses in relation to the Property.

2.8

Disadvantages of the Mayfield acquisition

The Directors are of the view that the following non-exhaustive list of disadvantages may be relevant to a Shareholder's decision on how to vote on the Resolution:

  • (a) as a result of borrowing approximately $5.2 million, Mayfield will be subject to increased interest expenses in the event interest rates rise after the first three-year term of the loan;

  • (b) in the event that the business of Mayfield Industries changes in the future, the Property may either become no longer suitable or less suitable. This may require Mayfield to either sell the Property or to continue to use it in less than efficient terms.

2.9

Recommendations of the Directors

Each of Mr Case, Mr Hobbs and Ms Chase determined that acquiring the Property is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders and each recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution.

Neither Mr Case, Mr Hobbs nor Ms Chase has an interest in the outcome of the Resolution, other than as shareholders of Mayfield.

In arriving at the recommendation, each of the Directors considered and made an assessment of the advantages and disadvantages referred to in Sections 2.7 and 2.8 respectively and determined that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Each of the Directors concluded that the completion of the Transaction is far more beneficial to the Shareholders than if the Transaction did not proceed.

Each of Mr Case, Mr Hobbs and Ms Chase agreed with the analysis of the Independent Expert that acquiring the Property is fair and reasonable to the non-associated Shareholders. In particular the Directors recommend Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution on the basis that the value of the Property being acquired is, based on the analysis of the Independent Expert, fair and reasonable.

6

Each of Mr Case, Mr Hobbs and Ms Chase are not aware of any other information other than as set out in this Notice of Meeting that would be reasonably required by Shareholders to allow them to make a decision whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pass the Resolution.

Mr Phillips and Mr Steele abstained from the directors’ resolution to enter into the Transaction as they each have an interest in the outcome of the Resolution as shareholders of the Vendor.

2.10 Independent Expert's Report

The Independent Expert, Hall Chadwick, has concluded that the proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable to the non-associated Shareholders – see Section 4 for further details.

The Board strongly recommends that you read the Independent Expert's Report in full, a copy of which is in Annexure A to this Explanatory Statement.

3. Action to be taken by Shareholders

Shareholders should read the Notice and this Explanatory Statement carefully before deciding how to vote on the Resolutions.

A Proxy Form is attached to the Notice. This is to be used by Shareholders if they wish to appoint a representative (a "proxy") to vote in their place. All Shareholders are invited and encouraged to attend the General Meeting or, if they are unable to attend in person, sign and return the Proxy Form to the Company in accordance with the instructions thereon. Lodgement of a Proxy Form will not preclude a Shareholder from attending and voting at the General Meeting in person.

4. Independent Expert’s Report

All of the Directors resolved to appoint Hall Chadwick as an Independent Expert and commissioned it to prepare a report to provide an opinion as to whether or not the Transaction is fair and reasonable to the Shareholders not associated with the Vendor.

What is fair and reasonable must be judged by the Independent Expert in all the circumstances of the Transaction. This requires taking into account the likely advantages to Shareholders if the Transaction is approved and comparing them with the disadvantages to them if the Transaction is not approved.

Hall Chadwick has concluded that the proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable to the nonassociated Shareholders.

The Board strongly recommends that you read the Independent Expert's Report in full, a copy of which is in Annexure A to this Explanatory Statement.

5. ASX and Corporations Act Requirements

5.1 Information required by Listing Rule 14.1A

Mayfield is proposing to acquire the Property from an entity in which two of Mayfield’s directors have a shareholding interest.

ASX Listing Rule 10.1 provides that a listed company must not acquire or agree to acquire a “substantial asset” from:

  1. a related party;

  2. a child entity;

  3. a substantial holder of the entity; or

  4. an associate of a substantial holder of the entity,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

An asset is regarded as substantial for the purposes of Listing Rule 10 if the value of the consideration being paid is 5% or more of the “equity interests” of MYG, as set out in its latest accounts. The equity interests of Mayfield in its accounts for the half year ended 31 December 2020 were approximately $17.6 million. The consideration being paid for the Property is approximately 42% of the equity interests. Accordingly, the Transaction falls within ASX Listing Rule 10.1.1 and involves the acquisition of a “substantial asset” from a related party. It therefore requires the approval of Mayfield’s shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 10.1.1.

The Resolution seeks the required shareholder approval to the Transaction under and for the

purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.1.1.

If the Resolution is passed, Mayfield will be able to proceed with the Transaction and acquire the Property.

If the Resolution is not passed, Mayfield will not be able to proceed with the Transaction and will not be able to acquire the Property.

5.2

Information required by Listing Rule 10.5

The following information is provided in relation to Listing Rule 10.5:

  • (a) Mayfield is acquiring the Property from Mayfield Property Holdings Pty Ltd ACN 166 321 464 ( Vendor ).

  • (b) The Vendor is in the category described in Listing Rule 10.1.1. The Vendor is controlled by Lindsay Phillips and Alan Steele, each of whom is a related party of Mayfield.

  • (c) The asset being acquired is the Property as described in sections 2.1 and 2.5 above.

  • (d) The Property is being acquired for consideration of $7,425,000.

  • (e) Mayfield will fund the acquisition with a loan from the Commonwealth Bank of Australia of $5.2 million and the balance from cash at hand (see section 2.3 above).

  • (f) Completion of the Transaction is expected around 28 May 2021.

  • (g) See section 2.2 above for material conditions of the Purchase Agreement.

5.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits a public company from giving a financial benefit to a Related Party of the public company unless providing the benefit falls within a prescribed exception to the general prohibition. Relevantly, there is an exception if the company first obtains the approval of its shareholders in a general meeting in circumstances where certain requirements specified in Chapter 2E in relation to the convening of that meeting have been met.

8

A Related Party is defined widely in section 228 of the Corporations Act and includes, relevantly, a proposed director of a public company, any entity that controls (or is reasonably likely to control) a public company, and any entity that is controlled by a person or entity which is otherwise a Related Party, or there are reasonable grounds to believe that a person/entity is likely to become a Related Party of the public company. As Mr Phillips and Mr Steele are directors of Mayfield each fall within the definition of Related Party of Mayfield for the purposes of section 228.

A financial benefit for the purposes of the Corporations Act has a very wide meaning. It includes the public company paying money or issuing securities to the Related Party. In determining whether or not a financial benefit is being given, it is necessary to look to the economic and commercial substance and effect of what the public company is doing (rather than just the legal form). Any consideration which is given for the financial benefit is to be disregarded, even if it is full or adequate. The Company is seeking Shareholder approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act for the Transaction.

Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act prohibits the Company from giving a financial benefit to related parties of the Company unless either:

(a) the giving of the financial benefit falls within one of the nominated exceptions to the relevant provisions of the Corporations Act; or

  • (b) prior shareholder approval has been obtained for the giving of the financial benefit.

The Transaction will constitute a financial benefit for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • (a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in section 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval, unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The Transaction constitutes the giving of a financial benefit to Mr Phillips and Mr Steele and each are a related party of Mayfield. It is the view of Mayfield that the exceptions set out in section 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act may not apply in the current circumstances. The Resolution therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under section 208 of the Corporations Act.

5.4 Valuation of the Property

The value of the Property was determined by the Independent Expert as being in the range of $7 million to $7.5 million - see section 12.1.4 of the Independent Report. Accordingly, the amount of the financial benefit received by Mr Philips and Mr Steele is $7 million to $7.5 million.

5.5 Technical information required by Chapter 2E, section 219 of the Corporations Act

Pursuant to and in accordance with section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in relation to the Transaction:

  • (a) Mr Phillips and Mr Steele are the related parties to whom the Resolution would permit financial benefits to be given.

  • (b) The financial benefit is the receipt by the Vendor of the consideration from the Transaction.

  • (c) See section 2.9 for recommendations by and interests of Directors in the Transaction.

3 PURPOSE OF REPORT

  • 3.1 The purpose of this report is to advise the Non-Associated Shareholders of Mayfield of the fairness and reasonableness of the Transaction. This report provides an opinion on whether or not the terms and conditions in relation to the Transaction are fair and reasonable to the Mayfield shareholders whose votes are not to be disregarded in respect of the Transaction (that is, the Non-Associated Shareholders).

  • 3.2 The ultimate decision whether to accept the terms of the Transaction should be based on each shareholders’ assessment of their own circumstances, including their risk profile, liquidity preference, tax position and expectations as to value and future market conditions. If in doubt about the Transaction or matters dealt with in this report, shareholders should seek independent professional advice.

  • 3.3 This report has been prepared to satisfy the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 (“Corporations Act”) and the ASX Listing Rules.

Corporations Act

  • 3.4 Section 208 of the Corporations Act specifies a public company must not give a financial benefit (including acquisition of an asset) to a related party without shareholder approval.

  • 3.5 The Transaction is one to which Section 208 of the Corporations Act applies given the Property proposed to be acquired is owned by Directors and shareholders of the Company.

  • 3.6 ASIC Regulatory Guide 74 "Acquisitions Agreed to by Shareholders" requires, amongst other things, that directors of a company need to provide shareholders with an analysis of whether a transaction is fair and reasonable, when considered in the context of the interests of the non-associated shareholders. Regulatory Guide 74 states that the directors may satisfy their obligation to provide this analysis by the independent directors commissioning an independent expert’s report. The independent expert is required to state whether, in their opinion, the proposal is fair and reasonable having regard to the interests of non-associated shareholders and state the reasons for forming that opinion. This report provides such an opinion.

ASX Listing Rules

  • 3.7 ASX Listing Rule 10.1 prescribes in general terms that the Company must not acquire a substantial asset from a Related Party or a substantial holder, or an associate of a Related Party or a substantial holder, without Shareholder approval.

  • 3.8 Given the Property proposed to be acquired by a wholly owned subsidiary of Mayfield would constitute a substantial asset being acquired from related parties, shareholder approval is required for the Transaction to proceed.

  • 3.9 ASX Listing Rule 10.5 requires a report on the Transaction from an independent expert stating whether the transaction is fair and reasonable to holders of Mayfield ordinary securities whose votes are not to be disregarded.

5

4. OPINION

  • 4.1 In our opinion, the proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable to the Non-Associated Shareholders of Mayfield.

  • 4.2 Our opinion is based solely on information available as at the date of this report. The principal factors that we have considered in forming our opinion are summarised below.

Fairness

  • 4.3 For the Transaction to be fair, the value of the Property must be equal to or greater than the consideration being paid by Mayfield.

  • 4.3.1 Based on the analysis contained in section 8 of this report, the indicative value of the Property is in the range of $7,100,000 and $7,500,000 (excluding GST).

  • 4.3.2 The Cash Consideration being paid by Mayfield for the Property is $7,425,000 (excluding GST).

  • 4.3.3 Therefore, as the Cash Consideration is within the range of the indicative market value of the Property, in our opinion the Transaction is fair.

Reasonableness

  • 4.4 ASIC Regulatory Guide 111 states that a transaction is reasonable if:

  • The Transaction is fair; or

  • Despite not being fair the expert believes that there are sufficient reasons for security holders to accept the offer in the absence of any higher bid before the close of the offer.

  • 4.4.1 We have concluded that the Transaction is reasonable. In forming our opinion we have considered the following relevant factors.

  • Mayfield will achieve security of tenure of a property which is crucial to the current and future business of Mayfield Industries. The Directors consider that the Property is the best facility available in Adelaide in which to locate the business of Mayfield for the foreseeable future. It is therefore considered in the best interests of Mayfield to permanently secure the facility by acquiring the Property.

  • The acquisition of the Property represents an investment opportunity for the Company to acquire a significant property interest.

  • As owner, Mayfield will be able to expand and modify the Property in order to optimise its use without any restrictions imposed by the owner or requiring landlord consent.

  • The Transaction ensures that the Company will obtain the permanent benefit of the capital expenditure incurred without the risk of losing the benefit of those improvements if it were not to renew the lease in the future.

  • Mayfield will no longer incur rental expenses in relation to the Property.

  • 4.5 Accordingly, in our opinion, the Transaction is fair and reasonable to the Non-Associated Shareholders of Mayfield.

5 BASIS OF EVALUATION

  • 5.1 In our assessment of whether the Transaction is fair and reasonable to Mayfield NonAssociated Shareholders, we have given due consideration to the Regulatory Guides issued by the ASIC, in particular, Regulatory Guide 74 “Acquisitions Agreed to by Shareholders”, Regulatory Guide 111 “Content of Experts Reports” and Regulatory Guide 112 “Independence of Experts Reports”.

  • 5.2 ASIC Regulatory Guide 74 requires, amongst other things, that shareholders are provided with sufficient information to make an effective, informed decision on whether the proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable. Under Regulatory Guide 111, a transaction is “fair” if the value of the asset being acquired is equal to or greater than the value of the consideration offered. Additionally, under Regulatory Guide 111 an offer is “reasonable” if it is fair or if shareholders would obtain an overall benefit if the transaction proceeds. It is possible for an offer to be reasonable despite being unfair, if after considering other nonfinancial factors the shareholders should still accept the offer.

  • 5.3 Our report has compared the likely advantages and disadvantages to non-associated shareholders if the Transaction is agreed to, with the advantages and disadvantages to those shareholders if it is not. Comparing the consideration to be paid under the transaction and the value of the asset(s) being acquired is only one element of this assessment.

  • 5.4 Normal valuation practice is to determine the fair market value of an asset assuming a counter party transaction between a willing and not anxious buyer and a willing but not anxious seller, clearly at arm’s length. We have adopted this approach in determining the market value of the Property.

  • 5.5 We consider that the Transaction will be reasonable if, on balance, the Non-Associated Shareholders in Mayfield will be better off if the Transaction is approved. We will also consider the Non-Associated Shareholder’s interests should the Transaction not proceed.

  • 5.6 In our assessment of the Transaction we have considered, in particular, the following:

  • The operational and financial position of Mayfield;

  • The independently assessed market value of the Property;

  • The Cash Consideration and ability of the Company to fund the purchase of the Property;

  • The advantages and disadvantages associated with approving the Transaction.

  • 5.7 The documents and information relied on for the purpose of this valuation are set out in Appendix I. We have considered and relied upon this information and believe that the information provided is reliable, complete and not misleading and we have no reason to believe that material facts have been withheld. The information provided was evaluated through analysis, enquiry and review for the purpose of forming an opinion as to whether the Transaction is fair and reasonable. However, in assignments such as this, time is limited and we do not warrant that our enquiries have identified or verified all of the matters which an audit or more extensive examination might disclose. None of these additional tasks have been undertaken.

  • 5.8 We understand the accounting and other financial information that was provided to us has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

7

  • 5.9 An important part of the information used in forming an opinion of the kind expressed in this report is the opinions and judgement of management. This type of information has also been evaluated through analysis, enquiry and review to the extent practical. However, it must be recognised that such information is not always capable of external verification or validation.

  • 5.10 HCC are not the auditors of Mayfield. We have analysed and reviewed information provided by the directors and advisers of Mayfield and made further enquiries where appropriate.

  • 5.11 This report has been prepared after taking into consideration the current economic and market climate. We take no responsibility for events occurring after the date of this report which may impact upon this report or which may impact upon the assumptions referred to in the report.

6.1 Business Overview

7 VALUATION METHODOLOGIES

7.1 Selection of Methodology

  • 7.1.1 In order to assess the fairness of the Transaction a value needs to be attributed to the Property. Normal valuation practice is to determine the fair market value of an asset assuming a counter party transaction between a willing and not anxious buyer and a willing but not anxious seller, clearly at arm’s length.

  • 7.1.2 The Company engaged Knight Frank to provide an independent market valuation of the Property, which was undertaken in December 2020, and a report issued for the purposes of inclusion with this report ( “Property Valuation Report”).

  • 7.1.3 The Property Valuation Report is included as an Annexure to this report and the Company’s Notice of Meeting.

  • 7.1.4 We have used and relied on the Property Valuation Report in assessing the fairness of the Transaction, noting that Knight Frank:

  • a) is a suitable valuation firm and has relevant property valuation experience;

  • b) are independent from the Company, and all other parties involved in the Transaction;

  • c) have employed recognised methodologies in the preparation of the valuation; and

  • d) has provided and not withdrawn consent for the reference and inclusion of their Property Valuation Report in this report.

7.2 Methodologies Selected

  • 7.2.1 Knight Frank has considered the most appropriate method of valuing the Property to be the Direct Comparison Approach, supported by the Capitalisation of Net Market Income Approach as the secondary valuation method.

  • 7.2.2 We have reviewed the Property Valuation Report and believe the selected valuation methodologies and the application of those methodologies to the valuation of the Property are reasonable and appropriate for our reliance.

  • 7.2.3 Direct Comparison Approach : The direct comparison or market data approach is based on an estimate of value derived by comparing a property with recently sold properties with similar characteristics. These similar properties are referred to as comparables in terms of size (dollar rate per square metre of lettable or site area), features and location. The market value estimate of the subject property will fall within the range formed by the adjusted sales prices of the comparables.

  • 7.2.4 Capitalisation of Net Market Income Approach : The capitalisation or income approach is based on the relationship between the rate of return an investor requires and the net income that a property produces. It is used to estimate the value of income-producing properties. This approach comprises three components

  • i) Estimation of sustainable net income;

  • ii) Capitalisation rate; and

  • iii) Capital adjustments being the deduction of one-off or non-recurring items, such as rental reversions, vacancies, lease incentives and immediate capital expenditure.

12

8 VALUE OF PROPERTY

8.1 Valuation Inputs

  • 8.1.1 As outlined in Section 7, Knight Frank has assessed the valuation of the Property based on the following two approaches:

  • Direct Comparison Approach; and

  • Capitalisation of Net Income Approach

  • 8.1.2 In undertaking the valuation Knight Frank undertook the following:

  • Obtained relevant information for the Property, including title information and building plans.

  • A physical inspection of the Property.

  • Market research to obtain relevant sales and leasing information from real estate agents and other market participants.

  • Use of Knight Frank Valuation and Advisory South Australia proprietary computer model for comparison and analysis to facilitate a conclusion.

  • 8.1.3 We have reviewed the inputs used in determining the valuation of the Property. Nothing has come to our attention which causes us to believe that the evidence and assumptions made by Knight Frank do not provide reasonable grounds for the conclusion on the valuation of the Property.

  • 8.1.4 A short form Property Valuation Report prepared by Knight Frank specifically for reference in this report is included as Annexure IV.

8.2 Conclusion on the Value of the Property

  • 8.2.1 Knight Frank has assessed the market value range of the freehold interest in the Property with vacant possession, as at 8[th] December 2020 to be $7,100,000 - $7,500,000 (excluding GST). The subject price of $7,425,000 (excluding GST) is within this valuation range.

9 ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES OF THE TRANSACTION

9.1 Approach to assessing Fairness and Reasonableness

HCC has followed the guidelines of ASIC Regulatory Guide 111 in assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Transaction. In forming its conclusions in this report, HCC compared the advantages and disadvantages for Non-Associated Shareholders if the Transaction proceeds.

9.2 Advantages of the Transaction

  • 9.2.1 Mayfield will achieve security of tenure of a property which is crucial to the current and future business of Mayfield Industries. The Directors consider that the Property is the best facility available in Adelaide in which to locate the business of Mayfield for the foreseeable future. It is therefore considered in the best interests of Mayfield to permanently secure the facility by acquiring the Property.

  • 9.2.2 The acquisition of the Property represents an investment opportunity for the Company to acquire a significant property interest.

  • 9.2.3 As owner, Mayfield will be able to expand and modify the Property in order to optimise its use without any restrictions imposed by the owner or requiring landlord consent.

  • 9.2.4 The Transaction ensures that the Company will obtain the permanent benefit of the capital expenditure incurred without the risk of losing the benefit of those improvements if it were not to renew the lease in the future.

  • 9.2.5 Mayfield will no longer incur rental expenses in relation to the Property.

  • 9.2.6 Mayfield will no longer be required to renegotiate renewal of the lease or relocate to an alternative property.

9.3 Disadvantages of the Transaction

  • 9.3.1 There may be other opportunities Mayfield will not be able to undertake due to the outlay of funds to acquire the Property. These other opportunities may potentially earn a higher return on capital.

  • 9.3.2 As the owner of the Property, Mayfield will be exposed to fluctuations in the value of the Property.

  • 9.3.3 As a result of borrowing approximately $5.2 million, Mayfield will be subject to increased finance costs in the event interest rates rise during the course of the loan.

  • 9.3.4 In the event that the business of Mayfield Industries changes in the future, the Property may either become no longer suitable or less suitable. This may require Mayfield to either sell the Property or to continue to use it in less than efficient terms.

14

10 CONCLUSION AS TO FAIRNESS AND REASONABLENESS

10.1 Fairness

  • 10.1.1 For the Transaction to be fair, the value of the Property must be equal to or greater than the consideration being paid by Mayfield.

  • 10.1.2 Based on the analysis contained in section 8 of this report, the indicative value of the Property is in the range of $7,100,000 and $7,500,000 (excluding GST).

  • 10.1.3 The Cash Consideration being paid by Mayfield for the Property is $7,425,000 (excluding GST).

  • 10.1.4 Therefore, as the Cash Consideration is within the range of the indicative market value of the Property, in our opinion the Transaction is fair.

10.2 Reasonableness

  • 10.2.1 ASIC Regulatory Guide 111 states that a transaction is reasonable if:

  • The Transaction is fair; or

  • Despite not being fair the expert believes that there are sufficient reasons for security holders to accept the offer in the absence of any higher bid before the close of the offer.

  • 10.2.2 We have concluded that the Transaction is reasonable. In forming our opinion we have considered the fact that the Transaction is fair, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the Transaction detailed at section 9.

  • 10.2.3 Accordingly, in our opinion, having considered the advantages of the Transaction and the alternatives of not proceeding with the Transaction, in our opinion the Non-Associated Shareholders of Mayfield should benefit if the Transaction proceeds and therefore, in our opinion, the Transaction is reasonable.

Yours faithfully

We note that we only have two (2) post COVID-19 investment sales. This is not therefore conclusive evidence as to the state of the market post COVID-19. Anecdotal evidence has suggested that capitalisation rates for industrial property post COVID-19 have actually compressed (increased leased investment values) since COVID-19, particularly given the low interest rate environment and the attractiveness of industries such as logistics and manufacturing.

Valuation Rationale & Calculations

Based on the comparable sales evidence analysed herein, properties such as the subject have transacted to predominantly owner occupiers. Therefore, we consider Direct Comparison approach is the most appropriate valuation methodology, with a check by Capitalisation of Imputed Net market Income. The calculations for both approaches are summarised below as follows:

Capitalisation Approach - Explanatory Notes:

Note 1 - Net Present Value of Rental Reversions

Rental reversions are nil. $0 Note 2 - Current Vacancy Allowances Leasing downtime has been applied to any vacant areas as follows: Office: 12.0 mths leasing downtime 15.0% 5.0% 0.0%

Note 3 - Imminent Expiry Allowances

Imminent Expiry allowances are nil.

The incentive probability is considered to reflect a balance between the full incentive granted to incoming tenants and the reduced incentives typically provided to sitting tenants.

Note 4 - Agents Fees & Leasing Costs

Agents fees and Leasing costs for both current vacancies and imminent expiries are as follows: Lease/Agents Fees - Vacant - Current/Future 13.00% Lease renewal Fees - Existing Tenants 5.00%

Note 5 - Outstanding Leasing Incentives Outstanding Lease Incentives are nil.

Note 6 - Capital Expenditure Immediate Capital Expenditure is nil.

Valuation Summary

We assessed the market value range of the freehold interest in the property with vacant possession, as at the date of valuation, 8[th] December 2020 to be $7,100,000 - $7,500,000 (Excluding GST). The subject price has subsequently contracted within this range, at $7,425,000 (Excluding GST), which reflects the below analysis:

Results Summary
Passing Initial Yield -0.81%
Fully Leased Initial Yield 8.48%
Core Market Yield 7.28%
Year 1 Passing Yield -0.81%
Effective Core Market Yield (approx) 6.44%
Rate per square metre of GBA $943/m²
Rate per square metre of Improved Site Area $279/m²

Risk Assessment:

Market Investment The property is owner occupied and we have assessed with vacant
possession, which has less appeal to the investor market.
The subject property is currently under contract (Executed Agreement to
Purchase only) for $7,425,000 (excluding GST) after off market
negotiations between related parties.
We consider a marketing campaign of up to six (6) months would be
required to sell the property at or around the valuation amount.
Tenant
Owner occupied by Mayfield Industries, a manufacturer for electrical
switchboards and switchboard rooms

We have assessed the property with vacant possession.

Mayfield Industries is part of Mayfield Group Holdings Ltd. Mayfield
Group Holdings Ltd includes STE Solutions, Walker Control and Power
Parameters – companies specialised in electrical infrastructure
services
Asset Key Positives:

Modern improvements

Insulated and evaporative cooled warehouse

Semi-enclosed canopy
Key Negatives:

The warehouse has internal ‘bays’, as opposed to more generic ‘clear span’ warehouse
accommodation.

Secondary outer northern industrial location

Hammerhead allotment with limited street frontage to Gidgie Court. There is good frontage
to Tugger Way, however, this is a private road.
Cashflow Profile
Assessed with vacant possession.

In arriving at a market rent for the property, we have based the figure on the rent we consider
an alternate occupier would pay for the accommodation. We have imputed an overall
‘blended’ market rental rate of $80/m² p.a. net of GBA (including enclosed canopy &
excluding mezzanine).

Estimated outgoings of $59,953 per annum ($7.6/m²p.a. of GBA).
Asset Management
We have not made an allowance for property management given the likelihood of a
purchaser being an owner occupier.

This risk assessment analysis must be read in conjunction with our full report, critical assumptions and Mortgage Recommendation.

COVID -19 Commentary

The recent outbreak of the global Coronavirus (COVID-19) is causing heightened uncertainty in both local and global market conditions, which could have a significant impact on property markets. Small businesses and corporations are facing cash flow risk over the coming months due to disruption to business supply chains and shutdowns. Sharp declines have been seen in sharemarkets globally, including Australia. The initial threat to Australian tourism, the education sector and retailers, has quickly broadened to the entire economy and there is a looming threat of recession.

It will take time for the empirical data to be available to more accurately measure the overall impact. Whilst history indicates that some equilibrium can be expected to return to the market once the crisis has passed, it will take time to absorb the various issues. As a result, there is less certainty with regard to valuations in the current market conditions.

This crisis may lead to a material impact upon real estate values in the region however the effects are currently unknown and will largely depend on both the scale and longevity of the outbreak. As such, there remain downside risks for property values over the short to medium term. The situation is volatile and circumstances have deteriorated quickly. We recommend investors and lenders in particular exercise a higher degree of caution and closely monitor market conditions as well as seek property advice and valuation updates on a regular basis.
