(“Ingenuity” or the “Company”)
ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING THE DISPOSAL OF PROPERTIES AND WITHDRAWAL OF CAUTIONARY
ANNOUNCEMENT
1. Introduction
Ingenuity shareholders are advised that the Company has entered into a sale of letting
enterprises/properties agreement (the “Agreement”) with Sanlam Life Insurance Limited (the
“Purchaser”), in terms of which Ingenuity will dispose of the following properties:
• Aurecon East, situated at 1 Century City Drive, Waterford Precinct, Century City, Cape Town,
being Erf number 6952, Montague Gardens, Cape Town;
• Aurecon West, situated at 5 Century City Drive, Waterford Precinct, Century City, Cape Town,
being Erf number 7054, Montague Gardens, Cape Town;
• The Gateway, being Erf number 6569, Montague Gardens, Cape Town;
• Mazars House, situated at Corner Rialto Road and Century City Boulevard, Century City, Cape
Town, being Section Number 2 in the scheme known as Crystal Towers; and
• Virgin Active, situated at Century City Boulevard, Century City, Cape Town, being Erf number
6563, Montague Gardens, Cape Town,
(collectively the “Properties”) (the “Disposal”).
The Disposal will become effective on date of transfer of the Properties into the name of the
Purchaser which shall be 1 September 2018 or as soon as is reasonable and practicable thereafter,
provided that the conditions precedent set out in paragraph 5 below have been fulfilled or waived
(the “Transfer Date”).
2. Rationale for the Disposal
Ingenuity’s strategy is focused on maximising net asset value and growth to shareholders.
Periodically Ingenuity reviews its asset allocation and the opportunity to realise value. The sale of
the Properties will provide Ingenuity with the means to initially materially reduce debt, strengthen
its balance sheet and provide additional means to unlock some further development initiatives
that Ingenuity has identified and held in the Company for some time. This will further enhance
Ingenuity’s focus to create shareholder value through development and trading opportunities.
3. Consideration for the Disposal
The total consideration for the Disposal is R949.2 million (the “Purchase Consideration”) and will
be allocated as follows:
• Aurecon East – R265 142 022;
• Aurecon West – R132 203 771;
• The Gateway – R233 839 454;
• Mazars House – R195 190 761; and
• Virgin Active – R122 823 992.
The Purchase Consideration has been determined on the basis that transfer of the Properties will
be effected on 1 September 2018. If for any reason whatsoever, transfer of the Properties takes
place after 1 September 2018, the Purchase Consideration will automatically be increased by an
amount equal to 7% thereof from 1 September 2018, compounded daily up to and including the
Transfer Date.
The Purchase Consideration will be settled in cash and payable on the Transfer Date.
4. Application of sale proceeds
The Purchase Consideration will be used to reduce borrowings and provide equity through access
facilities for investment and development opportunities when they arise.
5. Conditions precedent
The Disposal is subject to the following conditions precedent:
5.1. Ingenuity procuring that at least 51% of its shareholders provide written irrevocable
undertakings to vote in favour of the conclusion and implementation of the Agreement
where such approval is required within 21 days of the date of signature of the Agreement
(the “Signature Date”);
5.2. Ingenuity and the current tenant, Virgin Active South Africa Proprietary Limited, concluding
a renewal of the existing lease agreement in respect of the Virgin Active property on terms
and conditions agreed with the Purchaser;
5.3. Competition Authority approval by no later than 90 days after Ingenuity board approval,
which board approval was granted on 19 April 2018 and which time period may be extended
by written agreement; and
5.4. Ingenuity shareholders approving the Disposal as may be required by the JSE Limited (“JSE”)
Listings Requirements within 120 days from the Signature Date, which time period may be
extended by written agreement.
