CIRCULAR TO SYNERGY SHAREHOLDERS PART I: THE TRANSACTION

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Synergy is a retail-focused REIT listed on the JSE, with a portfolio of 14 medium-sized community and small regional shopping centres throughout South Africa, valued at approximately R2.475 billion. In the period to February 2015, Vukile increased its shareholding in Synergy to 65.0%, subsequently also assuming the property and asset management function in respect of Synergy’s portfolio of properties through the acquisition of 100% of the issued share capital in VAM.

1.2 Arrowhead is an internally managed REIT listed on the JSE, with a portfolio of retail, office and industrial properties. Its subsidiary, Cumulative, will house a portfolio of approximately 100 exclusively high yielding properties across South Africa.

1.3 As announced on SENS on 29 August 2016, Synergy has entered into the transaction agreements, in terms of which:

1.3.1 Synergy will internalise its asset and property management function through the acquisition of 100% of the issued share capital of VAM from Vukile, in consideration for which Synergy will issue 22 945 522 “B” shares to Vukile, as more fully described in paragraph 4.8;

1.3.2 Synergy will exchange the Synergy portfolio for the Vukile portfolio, as more fully described in paragraph 4.9;

1.3.3 Synergy will acquire 100% of the issued share capital of Cumulative, in consideration for which Synergy will issue 271 412 267 “B” shares to the Cumulative shareholders, as more fully described in paragraph 4.10;

1.3.4 Synergy’s name will be changed to “Gemgrow Properties Limited”, as more fully described in paragraph 4.11;

1.3.5 the MoI will be amended, as more fully described in paragraph 4.12; and

1.3.6 the board of directors will be reconstituted, as more fully described in paragraph 4.13.

Page 16: Synergy Income Fund Limited · 1 CORPORATE INFORMATION Registered office of Synergy Synergy Income Fund Limited (Registration number 2007/032604/06) One-on …

14

1.4 The transaction will result in Arrowhead holding 61.7% of issued SGB shares (and 55.2% of Synergy’s total issued share capital), with Vukile holding 29.5% of SGB shares (and 27.4% of Synergy’s total issued share capital). Insofar as the actual income generated by the Vukile portfolio and/or the Cumulative portfolio for the 12 months to 30 September 2017 materially differs from the forecasted income, arrangements have been agreed to between Vukile on the one hand and Arrowhead and Vividend on the other hand in terms of which they will, amongst themselves, adjust their relative holdings of SGB shares.

1.5 Upon implementation of the transaction, Synergy will effectively be repositioned as a specialist high yielding, high growth fund with an internally managed portfolio comprising retail, office and industrial assets, forming part of Arrowhead’s core portfolio. The portfolio will be run by a strongly incentivised, dedicated and proven executive management team, subject to strategic oversight by Arrowhead.

1.6 The board of directors has filed the requisite notice of a change in the financial year of the company to 30 September, in terms of section 27(4) of the Companies Act. This change is required in order to align with the financial year of Synergy with that of Arrowhead. The rights of “A” shareholders to distributions on their SGA shares will not be diminished or adversely affected by the change of year end.

1.7 Following implementation of the transaction, Synergy will trade in the “Diversified REITs” sector of the JSE.

1.8 The purpose of this circular is to:

1.8.1 provide Synergy shareholders with information relating to the transaction and the manner in which it will be implemented, so as to enable shareholders to make an informed decision as to whether or not they should vote in favour thereof; and

1.8.2 give notice convening the general meeting at which the resolutions necessary to approve and implement the transaction, as more fully detailed in this circular, will be considered and, if deemed fit, approved with or without modification. The notice convening general meeting of Synergy shareholders is attached to and forms part of this circular.

1.9 The transaction, if implemented, will result in a reverse take-over of Synergy in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements and revised listing particulars have accordingly been posted to shareholders together with this circular.

2. RATIONALE FOR THE TRANSACTION

2.1 Synergy has been operating as a specialist retail property fund with a specific focus on medium-sized community and small regional shopping centres in high growth nodes, but illiquidity in its shares has hamstrung its growth. As a small capitalisation fund with limited capacity to aggressively acquire assets and grow the company to a meaningful size, Synergy’s prospects for future growth remain constrained.

2.2 The transaction will reposition Synergy as a high yielding, high growth income-focused property fund internally managed by an executive team with proven credentials and experience relevant to its new investment strategy. The board is of the view that the revised strategy will best utilise Synergy’s dual-class share capital structure, which remains a valuable differentiator in the listed property sector. A high yielding, high growth fund with a dual-class share capital structure will present an exciting proposition for income-focused property investors and it is expected to result in renewed interest in and tradability of both the “A” and “B” shares.

2.3 From an “A” shareholder’s perspective, the transaction will result in a significantly higher cash cover ratio, as well as a potential to enhance the liquidity of “A” shares over time. From a “B” shareholder’s perspective, the transaction will be yield-enhancing and is expected to deliver sector-beating growth in distributions through a targeted acquisition strategy. Synergy’s debt hedging policy, requiring 75% of interest-bearing debt to be hedged, will also mean less interest rate risk.

2.4 The transaction will increase Synergy’s market capitalisation to approximately R3.3 billion, with a value of approximately R451 million and R2.8 billion for the “A” and “B” shares, respectively.

3. STRATEGY AND PROSPECTS

3.1 Post-implementation of the transaction, Synergy will be repositioned itself as a high yielding, high growth income-focused investment vehicle with a property portfolio valued at over R4.3 billion. Importantly, the transaction will re-energise Synergy and differentiate it within the listed property sector, with the company seeking to make only yield-enhancing acquisitions that grow sustainable earnings, thereby providing a platform for growth going forward. In this regard, the new directors and management see significant opportunity in properties valued from R20 million to R75 million; a niche space currently largely ignored by most listed property funds.

Page 17: Synergy Income Fund Limited · 1 CORPORATE INFORMATION Registered office of Synergy Synergy Income Fund Limited (Registration number 2007/032604/06) One-on …

15

3.2 The transaction will also see Synergy optimising the earnings accretive value of its dual-class share capital structure. The SGA shares offer income-focused investors preferential rights to distributions, capped at 5% growth (or, from the income period ending 30 June 2018 and thereafter, the lesser of 5% and the most recent CPI figure) per annum, representing secure and predictable earnings, while the SGB shares are ideal for investors looking for a higher yielding proposition. This dual-class share capital structure will be fortified by the transaction, with the MoI amendment inter alia ensuring that any conversion of “A” shares to “B” shares, or vice versa, or any redemption of any class of shares in whole or in part, is subject to approval by the holders of both “A” shares and “B” shares by way of a separate special resolution taken at a separate general meeting of each class of shareholder.

3.3 Synergy’s revised strategy will be enhanced by a relative low loan-to-value ratio and the hedging of interest rates on approximately 75% of its total borrowings, up from 66% as at 31 March 2016.

3.4 Synergy’s new board and management team will leverage off Arrowhead’s expertise and experience in actively managing portfolios that are designed for strong growth and higher yields.

4. MECHANICS OF THE TRANSACTION

The transaction will involve a reverse take-over of Synergy, with Synergy’s property portfolio reconstituted to comprise exclusively high yielding assets across the retail, office and industrial sectors, which portfolio will be managed internally with strategic and managerial oversight by Arrowhead. More specifically, the transaction will be implemented as follows:

4.1 the asset and property management function of Synergy will be internalised through the acquisition of the VAM equity in consideration for the issue of SGB shares to Vukile, with Synergy’s property management function subsequently outsourced to JHI in terms of the Arrowhead property management agreement (subject to paragraph 4.8.7);

4.2 Synergy will swap its entire portfolio of retail properties for a portfolio of 29 high yielding Vukile properties;

4.3 Synergy will fix the interest rate on a number of its debt facilities, such that 75% of its total borrowings is hedged;

4.4 Synergy will acquire 100% of the issued share capital of Cumulative, a subsidiary of Arrowhead that will own 100 high yielding retail office and industrial properties, in consideration for the issue of SGB shares to the Cumulative shareholders;

4.5 the name of Synergy will be changed to “Gemgrow Properties Limited”;

4.6 the MoI will be amended; and

4.7 the board of directors will be reconstituted, with the resignation of the current board,

all of which are inter-conditional and form part of the composite transaction, as more fully described below.

4.8 The VAM internalisation

4.8.1 In terms of the VAM internalisation agreement, Synergy will acquire the VAM equity from Vukile, in consideration for which Synergy will issue 22  945  522 “B”  shares to Vukile at a price per share equivalent to the five-day clean VWAP of a “B” share immediately preceding the implementation date. Unless Arrowhead agrees otherwise, Vukile will be required to retain its VAM consideration shares until 30 September 2017.

4.8.2 The pricing of the VAM internalisation has been calculated with reference to the anticipated management fees to be earned and retained by VAM for a forward 12 month period to 31 March 2017, and represents a significant discount to the contractual exit provided for in terms of the VAM asset management agreement, as more fully detailed in Annexure 15.

4.8.3 From an economic perspective, the VAM internalisation will take effect from the effective date, being 1 October 2016. This means that all risk and all benefit attaching to the shares in VAM will be deemed to have passed to Synergy on the effective date, notwithstanding that possession and control of the shares in VAM will only be given to Synergy, and the VAM consideration shares will only be issued to Vukile, on the implementation date.

4.8.4 VAM will declare and pay to Vukile (as a clean out dividend) an amount equal to VAM’s net profits after tax for the period up to the effective date. For the avoidance of doubt, the VAM equity to be acquired by Synergy in terms of the VAM internalisation will be acquired ex-entitlement to such dividend.

Page 18: Synergy Income Fund Limited · 1 CORPORATE INFORMATION Registered office of Synergy Synergy Income Fund Limited (Registration number 2007/032604/06) One-on …

16

4.8.5 Save that the VAM consideration shares will be issued ex-entitlement to the 30 September 2016 dividend, the VAM consideration shares will rank pari passu with existing “B” shares and will be fully paid up and freely transferable.

4.8.6 Pursuant to the implementation of the VAM internalisation:

4.8.6.1 Synergy’s asset management function will be undertaken internally;

4.8.6.2 Synergy’s property management function will be outsourced to JHI in terms of the Arrowhead property management agreement, subject to paragraph 4.8.7 below;

4.8.6.3 the board of directors of VAM will be reconstituted by directors nominated and appointed by the company; and

4.8.6.4 the name of VAM will be changed to “Gemgrow Asset Management Proprietary Limited”.

4.8.7 Notwithstanding the provisions of 4.8.6 above, for the period from 1 October 2016 to 30 September 2017, management of the Vukile portfolio will be outsourced to Vukile (or its appointed property manager) on the same basis as such properties were managed prior to the implementation date. Asset management functions relating to capital expenditure exceeding the forecast budget in respect of the Vukile portfolio by more than R1 000 000, as well as property sales in respect of the Vukile portfolio, will, however, at all times be evaluated and approved by Synergy. From 1 October 2017, the provisions of paragraph 4.8.6.2 above will apply in respect of the Vukile portfolio, in that the property management in respect thereof will be outsourced to JHI in terms of the Arrowhead property management agreement.

4.8.8 The provisions of the memorandum of incorporation of VAM (the “VAM MoI”) will not frustrate Synergy in any way from compliance with its obligations in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements and nothing contained in the VAM MoI will relieve Synergy from compliance with JSE Listings Requirements.

4.8.9 The VAM internalisation agreement contains warranties standard for a transaction of its nature.

4.8.10 The VAM internalisation constitutes a related party transaction in terms of section 10 of the JSE Listings Requirements, as well as the issue of shares by Synergy to a related or inter-related person, as contemplated in section 41(1)(b) (read with section 2) of the Companies Act.

4.9 The Vukile asset exchange

4.9.1 In terms of the Vukile asset exchange agreement, Synergy will dispose of its current portfolio of retail properties to Vukile, in exchange for which Vukile will transfer a higher yielding portfolio of retail, office and industrial assets to Synergy.

4.9.2 The Vukile asset exchange entails Vukile acquiring the Synergy portfolio for R2 450 000 000, representing a 1% discount to the value of the portfolio. In exchange, Synergy will acquire the Vukile portfolio (externally valued as at 31 July 2016 at R2 431 800 000) plus an amount of R18 200 000 in cash, with interest levied for the period from the effective date to the implementation date. Jhb Isle of Houghton (being the property numbered 7 in Annexure 6) is the subject of a pre-emptive right to acquire the property, in favour of one of its tenants. Insofar as Vukile is not able to obtain a written waiver in respect of such pre-emptive right and such right is then exercised such that Jhb Isle of Houghton is disposed of by Vukile at any time prior to the implementation date, Vukile will transfer the cash amount received from the purchaser of the property to Synergy, in lieu of the rental enterprise conducted in respect of such property, on the implementation date.

4.9.3 The Vukile asset exchange will result in a significant yield enhancement for “B” shareholders and a significant improvement of the “A” share cash cover ratio.

4.9.4 The Vukile asset exchange is an exchange of each relevant portfolio as a going concern. Accordingly, subject to the terms of the Arrowhead property management agreement and paragraphs 4.8.6 and 4.8.7 above, Synergy will continue to conduct the acquired Vukile portfolio as far as possible in the same manner as it was conducted by Vukile, and will to the fullest extent possible be substituted for Vukile in respect of each of the relevant leases and other contracts that may be in place in respect of the Vukile portfolio.

4.9.5 All risk and benefit in respect of the Synergy portfolio will be given to Vukile, and all risk and benefit in respect of the Vukile portfolio will be given to Synergy, on the effective date, being 1 October 2016, from which date:

4.9.5.1 Vukile or Synergy will be entitled to any rentals accruing from the relevant portfolio, as the case may be; and

Page 19: Synergy Income Fund Limited · 1 CORPORATE INFORMATION Registered office of Synergy Synergy Income Fund Limited (Registration number 2007/032604/06) One-on …

17

4.9.5.2 Vukile or Synergy will be liable for all rates, taxes and other imposts levied on the relevant portfolio, as the case may be.

4.9.6 Notwithstanding the effective date, the delivery and transfer of occupation and control of the Vukile portfolio to Synergy and of occupation and control of the Synergy portfolio to Vukile, as going concerns, will take place on the implementation date. Registration of transfer of the properties forming part of the Synergy and Vukile portfolios, in the name of Vukile and Synergy, respectively, shall occur as soon as reasonably possible following the implementation date.

4.9.7 The Vukile asset exchange agreement contains warranties standard for a transaction of its nature.

4.9.8 The Vukile asset exchange constitutes a related party category one disposal and category one acquisition in terms of sections 9 and 10 of the JSE Listings Requirements, as well as the disposal of all of Synergy’s assets, as contemplated in section 112 of the Companies Act.

4.10 The Cumulative acquisition

4.10.1 Mechanics of the Cumulative acquisition

4.10.1.1 In terms of the Cumulative acquisition agreement, Synergy will acquire the Cumulative equity, in exchange for the issue to the Cumulative shareholders (in proportion to their shareholding in Cumulative as at the implementation date) of 271 412 267 “B” shares at a price per share equivalent to the Cumulative consideration share issue price.

4.10.1.2 Unless Vukile agrees otherwise, Arrowhead and Vividend will be required to retain their Cumulative consideration shares, being, in aggregate, 247  412  267 “B” shares, until 30 September 2017.

4.10.1.3 Cumulative will own the Cumulative portfolio, being a portfolio of 100 exclusively high yielding retail, office and industrial properties across South Africa, externally valued as at 31 July 2016 at R1 893 300 000.

4.10.1.4 Synergy will fix the interest rate on a number of its debt facilities, such that 75% of its total borrowings is hedged. As the Cumulative portfolio is effectively being acquired ungeared, the transaction will result in a reduction of Synergy’s loan-to-value ratio to under 25%.

4.10.1.5 From an economic perspective, the Cumulative acquisition will take effect from the effective date, being 1  October  2016. This means that all risk and all benefit attaching to the Cumulative equity (including the right to rentals accruing from the Cumulative portfolio) will pass to Synergy on the effective date, notwithstanding that possession and control of the Cumulative equity will only be given to Synergy, and the Cumulative consideration shares will only be issued to the Cumulative shareholders, on the implementation date.

4.10.1.6 Cumulative will declare and pay to its shareholders as at the effective date (as a clean out dividend) an amount equal to Cumulative’s net profits after tax for the period up to the effective date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Cumulative equity to be acquired by Synergy in terms of the Cumulative transaction will be acquired ex-entitlement to such dividend.

4.10.1.7 Save that the Cumulative consideration shares will be issued ex-entitlement to the 30 September 2016 dividend, the Cumulative consideration shares will rank pari passu with existing “B” shares and will be fully paid up and freely transferable.

4.10.1.8 The provisions of the memorandum of incorporation of Cumulative (the “Cumulative MoI”) will not frustrate Synergy in any way from compliance with its obligations in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements and nothing contained in the Cumulative MoI will relieve Synergy from compliance with the JSE Listings Requirements.

4.10.1.9 The Cumulative acquisition agreement contains warranties standard for a transaction of its nature.

4.10.1.10 The Cumulative acquisition constitutes a category one acquisition in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements, as well as the issue of shares with a combined voting power that will exceed 30% of the voting power of all “B” shares in issue, as contemplated in section 41(3) of the Companies Act.

4.10.2 Waiver of mandatory offer

4.10.2.1 Details of waiver of mandatory offer

4.10.2.1.1 The issue of the Cumulative consideration shares to the Cumulative shareholders will result in Arrowhead being able to exercise at least 35% of the total voting rights attached to securities of Synergy.

4.10.2.1.2 Accordingly, in terms of:

• sections 123 of the Companies Act, Arrowhead would, upon the issue of the Cumulative consideration shares, be obliged to make an offer to the remaining “B” shareholders to acquire their “B” shares at the same price at which Arrowhead acquires the Cumulative consideration shares (being the Cumulative consideration share issue price); and

• section 125 of the Companies Act read with Takeover Regulation 87, Arrowhead would be obliged to make an offer to the remaining “A” shareholders to acquire their “A” shares at a price comparable to the Cumulative consideration share issue price (being the five-day clean VWAP of a Synergy “A” share on the implementation date).

4.10.2.1.3 The making of the mandatory offer is not part of Arrowhead’s strategy. The Cumulative acquisition agreement accordingly provides that the Cumulative acquisition is conditional on the mandatory offer being waived as contemplated in Takeover Regulation 86(4) and dispensed with by the TRP. In this regard, shareholders are advised that the independent expert has concluded that the waiver of mandatory offer is fair and reasonable insofar as Synergy shareholders are concerned, with their opinion in this regard set out in Annexure 1.

4.10.2.1.4 The TRP is willing to consider the application to grant an exemption from the obligation to make a mandatory offer if independent Synergy “A” and “B” shareholders waive their entitlement to receive the mandatory offer, by majority vote, in accordance with Takeover Regulation 86(4). It is recorded that independent shareholders, as contemplated in the Takeover Regulations, control more than 50% of the general voting rights of all Synergy shares.

4.10.2.1.5 On this basis, an ordinary resolution for the waiver of the mandatory offer will be put to independent “A” and “B” shareholders for consideration at the general meeting. Arrowhead and any other non-independent shareholders will not be able to vote on these resolutions. If such resolutions are duly passed by a majority of votes exercised by independent shareholders, Synergy will inform the TRP, together with supporting documents, that the resolutions have been passed in terms of Takeover Regulation 86(4). The TRP will then consider the application for the waiver of the mandatory offer and make a ruling.

4.10.2.1.6 Any shareholder who wishes to make representations relating to the exemption shall have 10 business days from the date of the issue of this circular to make such representations to the TRP before the ruling is considered. Representations should be made in writing and emailed, delivered by hand, posted or faxed to:

and should reach the TRP by no later than the close of business on Tuesday, 11 October 2016 in order to be considered. If any representations are made to the TRP within the permitted timeframe, the TRP will consider the merits thereof before making a ruling.

4.10.2.1.7 Synergy will announce the outcome of the TRP’s ruling on SENS on Thursday, 20 October 2016 and remind shareholders that they may request the Takeover Special Committee to review the ruling within five business days of the announcement, being by Thursday, 3 November 2016. After expiry of the five business day notice period, and subject to no Synergy shareholders having requested a review of the TRP ruling, the TRP waiver proceedings will be regarded as complete.

4.10.2.2 Intentions of the incoming majority shareholder

4.10.2.2.1 As most recently announced in its annual report for the year ended 30 September 2015, Arrowhead has for some time intended to transfer the Cumulative portfolio into a separate subsidiary to be listed on the JSE, with its own dedicated management team focused on growing the portfolio on an accretive basis. The Cumulative acquisition, considered within the broader context of the transaction, sees Synergy become the vehicle for the implementation of this strategy.

4.10.2.2.2 By transferring a number of its smaller high yielding assets into Synergy, Arrowhead will effectively create a separately listed high growth subsidiary, benefitting from Synergy’s strategic dual-class “A” and “B” share capital structure. Arrowhead considers there to be significant opportunities for growth within this market and believes that its dedicated and experienced management team can add significant value to the company.

4.10.2.2.3 Further detail as to the prospects of Synergy post-implementation of the transaction are set out in paragraph 3.

4.11 Change of name

4.11.1 With the repositioning of the company as a specialist high yielding, high growth fund, the board proposes that the name of the company be changed from “Synergy Income Fund Limited” to “Gemgrow Properties Limited”, which change has been approved by the Companies and Intellectual Properties Commission. The JSE will implement such name change following the implementation date by:

4.11.1.1 reclassifying the “A” shares under share code “GPA”, short name “GemPropA” and ISIN ZAE0000223269; and

4.11.1.2 reclassifying the “B” shares under share code “GPB”, short name “GemPropB” and ISIN ZAE0000223277.

4.11.2 Should the transaction be implemented, shareholders will have their account held at their CSDP or broker updated to reflect the change of name.

4.11.3 For a period of not less than one year, the company will reflect the former name “Synergy Income Fund Limited” on all documents of title beneath the new name of “Gemgrow Properties Limited”. In addition, for a period of not less than a year, the company will reflect the former name “Synergy Income Fund Limited” on all circulars beneath the new name “Gemgrow Properties Limited” in accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements.

4.11.4 In terms of clause 7.5 of the MoI and section 16 of the Companies Act, a special resolution to approve the amendment of the company’s name as set out above will be put to Synergy shareholders at the general meeting.

4.12 MoI amendment

4.12.1 The board proposes that the MoI be amended as follows:

4.12.1.1 to ensure that any conversion of “A” shares to “B” shares, or vice versa, or any redemption of any class of shares in whole or in part, is subject to approval by the holders of both “A” shares and “B” shares by way of a separate special resolution taken at a separate general meeting of each class of shareholder;

Page 22: Synergy Income Fund Limited · 1 CORPORATE INFORMATION Registered office of Synergy Synergy Income Fund Limited (Registration number 2007/032604/06) One-on …

20

4.12.1.2 to reflect the change of name, as more fully detailed in paragraph 4.11;

4.12.1.3 to reflect the change in year-end to 30 September 2016; and

4.12.1.4 to provide for the payment of quarterly distributions to “A” and “B” shareholders on the same terms as half-yearly distributions are determined in terms of Synergy’s existing MoI, so as to align the company’s distribution policy with that of Arrowhead.

4.12.2 Save as set out above, the existing MoI will remain unchanged. In particular, the rights of “A” shareholders to distributions on their SGA shares will not be diminished or adversely affected by the MoI amendment (including the change of year-end).

4.12.3 A special resolution to approve the amendment of the MoI as set out above will be put to shareholders at the general meeting.

4.12.4 The salient features of the existing MoI are set out in Annexure 16. The salient features of the MoI (as amended as set out in this paragraph 4.12) are set out in Annexure 5 of the revised listing particulars.

4.13 Reconstitution of the board of directors

4.13.1 The board of directors of the company will be reconstituted on and with effect from the implementation date.

4.13.2 Resolutions to elect the new directors as directors of the company will be put to shareholders at the general meeting. Subject to the approval of shareholders at the general meeting, the new directors will be appointed to the board with effect from the implementation date. Concurrently, Sedise Moseneke, Rob Hawton, Laurence Rapp, Michael Potts, Martin Kuscus, Lizwi Mtumtum, Sean Segar and Ilan Zwarenstein will resign as directors of the company with effect from the implementation date.

4.13.3 A brief CV of each of the new directors is set out is set out in paragraph 3.1 of the revised listing particulars. Annexure 3 of the revised listing particulars contains the terms of appointment of the new directors.

4.13.4 The company is also in advanced negotiations with a new chief operating officer and financial director, to be appointed with effect from the implementation date. Their appointment as directors will be subject to confirmation by shareholders at the first annual general meeting of the company to be held following the implementation date. Until such time as the new financial director has been formally appointed, and notwithstanding that he will resign as a director with effect from the implementation date, Rob Hawton is designated as financial director for purposes of the revised listing particulars.

4.14 Conditions precedent

The implementation of the transaction remains subject to the fulfilment of the following conditions precedent:

4.14.1 the transaction agreements becoming unconditional and of full force and effect in accordance with their terms;

4.16.1 Vukile holds 65.0% of the total voting rights in the company and is a “material shareholder” of Synergy as contemplated in the JSE Listings Requirements. The transaction accordingly constitutes a transaction with a related party in terms of section 10.4 of the JSE Listings Requirements. In addition, the transaction constitutes the disposal of the greater part of Synergy’s assets, as contemplated in section 112 of the Companies Act.

4.16.2 As required in terms of section 10.4(f) of the JSE Listings Requirements and the Takeover Regulations, the independent board has appointed the independent expert to provide an opinion as to both the fairness and reasonableness of the transaction. The report of the independent expert in this regard is set out in Annexure 1.

4.16.3 The independent board, having been so advised by the independent expert and after due consideration of the report by the independent expert, confirms that the transaction is fair and reasonable insofar as Synergy “A” and “B” shareholders are concerned and accordingly recommends that Synergy shareholders vote in favour of the resolutions to be proposed at the general meeting.

6.2 In addition, and notwithstanding that the special resolution required for the approval of the Vukile asset exchange in terms of section 115(2) of the Companies Act may have been adopted, Synergy may not proceed to implement the Vukile asset exchange without the approval of the court if:

6.2.2 the court, on application within 10 business days after the vote by any person who voted against such special resolution grants that person leave to apply to a court for a review of the Vukile asset exchange.

6.3 If the special resolution approving the Vukile asset exchange requires approval by a court as contemplated in terms of paragraph 6.2.1 above, Synergy must either:

6.3.1 within 10 business days after the vote apply to the court for approval, and bear the costs of that application; or

6.3.2 treat the relevant special resolution as a nullity.

10.3.1 The Cumulative portfolio was valued by Theuns Behrens of Real Insight, an independent external registered professional valuer.

10.3.2 Detailed valuation reports have been prepared in respect of each of the properties within the Cumulative portfolio and are available for inspection. A summary of the detailed valuation report in respect of the Cumulative portfolio has been included in Annexure 4.

11. VENDORS

11.1 Details of the vendors of the VAM equity, the Vukile portfolio and the Cumulative equity (collectively, the “vendors”) are set out in Annexure 14.

11.2 No vendor has guaranteed book debts or other assets. The agreements in terms of which the relevant material assets were or are to be acquired (the “vendor agreements”) contain warranties standard for transactions of their nature.

11.3 The vendor agreements do not preclude the vendors from carrying on business in competition with the Synergy group, VAM and/or Cumulative nor do they impose any other similar restrictions on the vendors. No payment in cash or otherwise has been made in this regard.

11.4 There are no liabilities for accrued taxation that are required to be settled in terms of the vendor agreements.

11.5 The purchase consideration for the VAM equity is being settled through an issue by Synergy of the VAM consideration shares at an equivalent price equivalent to the clean VWAP at which “B” shares traded for the five business days preceding the implementation date. The net asset value of VAM was R356 000 as at 31 March 2016. Based on the clean VWAP at which “B” shares traded for the five business days preceding the last practicable date, the current indicative price at which the VAM consideration shares will be issued is R6.77, and accordingly the price being paid by Synergy for the VAM equity is approximately R155 341 184. The difference between the purchase price payable and the net asset value of the VAM equity to be acquired by Synergy will be recognised as goodwill.

11.6 The purchase consideration for the Cumulative equity is being settled through an issue by Synergy of the Cumulative consideration shares at an equivalent price equivalent to the clean VWAP at which “B” shares traded for the five business days preceding the implementation date. The indicative net asset value of Cumulative is R2 055 780 000, being the fair value of the Cumulative portfolio as at 31 July 2016, plus indicative trade and other receivables of R162 480 000 in respect of the executive loans. Based on the clean VWAP at which “B” shares traded for the five business days preceding the last practicable date, the current indicative price at which the Cumulative consideration shares will be issued is R6.77, and accordingly the price being paid by Synergy for the Cumulative equity is approximately R1 837 461 047. The difference between the purchase price payable and the proportionate value of the net asset value acquired by Synergy will be recognised as a gain on bargain purchase, resulting in an increase to retained earnings.

11.7 Save for the directors’ interests as set out in paragraph 4.17.1 and Annexure 3 of the revised listing particulars, no director or promoter of Synergy (or any partnership, syndicate or other association in which a promoter or director had an interest) had any direct or indirect beneficial interest in the acquisition of the material assets from the vendors.

11.8 No cash or securities have been paid or any benefit given within the three years preceding this circular or is proposed to be paid or given to any promoter (not being a director).

11.9 The VAM equity will be transferred to Synergy on the implementation date. All risk and all benefit to such equity will however vest in Synergy on the effective date. The VAM equity has not, to the knowledge of Synergy, been ceded or pledged to any party.

11.10 The properties comprising the Vukile portfolio will be transferred to Synergy as soon as possible after the implementation date. All risk and benefit to such properties will however vest in Synergy on the effective date. The properties comprising the Vukile portfolio have not, to the knowledge of Synergy, been ceded or pledged to any party. However, the properties comprising the Vukile portfolio will, following the implementation of the transaction, be provided as security for borrowings as set out in Annexure 10 of the revised listing particulars.

11.11 The Cumulative equity will be transferred to Synergy on the implementation date. All risk in and all benefit to such equity will however vest in Synergy on the effective date. The Cumulative equity has not, to the knowledge of Synergy, been ceded or pledged to any party.

Annexure 1

INDEPENDENT EXPERT’S FAIR AND REASONABLE OPINION IN RESPECT OF THE TRANSACTION, INCLUDING THE WAIVER OF MANDATORY OFFER

15 September 2016

The DirectorsSynergy Income Fund LimitedOne-on-NinthCnr Glenhove Road and Ninth StreetMelrose Estate, 2196

Dear Sirs,

INDEPENDENT EXPERT REPORT IN RESPECT OF THE PROPOSED STRATEGIC REPOSITIONING OF SYNERGY INCOME FUND LIMITED

1. INTRODUCTION

In terms of a joint SENS announcement release by Synergy Income Fund Limited (“Synergy” or the “Company”), Vukile Property Fund Limited (“Vukile”) and Arrowhead Properties Limited (“Arrowhead”) on 29 August 2016, shareholders were advised of an indivisible proposed transaction in terms of which, inter alia:

i) Synergy would acquire 100% of the issued ordinary share capital in Vukile Asset Management Proprietary Limited (“VAM”) from Vukile, to be settled through the issue of 22 945 522 Synergy B shares (“B Shares”) (the “VAM Internalisation”);

ii) Synergy would exchange its entire portfolio of retail properties, valued at R2.475 billion, for a portfolio of high yielding retail, office and industrial assets of Vukile valued at R2.431 billion, plus a cash consideration of R18.2 million (the “Vukile Transaction”); and

iii) Synergy would acquire 100% of the issued shares in Cumulative Properties Limited (“Cumulative”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Arrowhead, in return for the issue to shareholders of Cumulative of 271 412 267 B Shares (the “Cumulative Acquisition”),

(together the “Proposed Transaction”).

From a Synergy perspective, the Proposed Transaction:

• constitutes a related party transaction in terms of section 10.4 of the JSE Listings Requirements (“Listings Requirements”), in respect of the VAM Internalisation;

• constitutes a category 1 related party acquisition and disposal in terms of section 10.4 of the JSE Listings Requirements and affected transaction in terms of section 112 of the Companies Act 2008 (the “Companies Act”) (“Section 112 Disposal”), in respect of the Vukile Transaction; and

• triggers a mandatory offer by Arrowhead (the “Mandatory Offer”) to remaining Synergy A and B shareholders due to Arrowhead acquiring a shareholding in excess of 35% in Synergy, in terms of section 125 and 123 respectively of the Companies Act.

Accordingly, the Synergy board of independent directors (the “Independent Board”), must retain an independent expert to compile a report on the terms and conditions of the inter-conditional Proposed Transaction and opine as follows:

• As to the fairness of the VAM Internalisation and Vukile Transaction in terms of section 10.4(f) of the Listings Requirements;• As to the fairness and reasonableness in respect of the Vukile Transaction as a section 112 Disposal, in terms of

Regulation 90 of the Companies Regulations (the “Regulations”), and• As to the fairness and reasonableness of the waiver of the Mandatory Offer (the “Waiver”), which waiver will be

sought as part of the Proposed Transaction, in terms of Regulation 86(4) of the Regulations.

(together the “Opinion”).

Full particulars of the Proposed Transaction are contained in the circular to Synergy shareholders (the “Circular”) to be dated on or about 21 September 2016, of which this opinion forms part.

2. SCOPE

PSG Capital Proprietary Limited (“PSG Capital”) has been appointed by the Independent Board as the independent expert to advise, in accordance with the Companies Act and Listings Requirements on whether the terms and conditions of the VAM Internalisation, the Vukile Transaction and the Cumulative Acquisition, are fair and reasonable as far as Synergy shareholders are concerned.

Due to transaction steps on which PSG Capital are required to opine being conditional on the implementation of the Proposed Transaction, the terms of the Proposed Transaction in its entirety were considered to determine the fairness and reasonableness of the said steps.

3. RESPONSIBILITY

Compliance with the Companies Act is the responsibility of the Independent Board. PSG Capital’s responsibility is to report on the terms and conditions of the Proposed Transaction as they relate to Synergy shareholders.

We confirm that our Opinion has been provided to the Independent Board, and that it will be distributed to shareholders in connection with the Proposed Transaction. We understand that the results of our work will be used by the Independent Board to satisfy the requirements of the Companies Act and the Listings Requirements.

4. DEFINITION OF THE TERMS “FAIR” AND “REASONABLE”

A transaction will generally be considered fair to a company’s shareholders if the benefits received by shareholders, as a result of a corporate action, are equal to or greater than the value surrendered by a company.

The assessment of fairness is primarily based on quantitative considerations. The Proposed Transaction may be considered fair if the per share value attributable to Synergy shareholders post the Proposed Transaction is considered to be equal to or more than the attributable value per share prior to the Proposed Transaction.

In terms of the Companies Regulations, a transaction will be considered reasonable if the value received by the shareholders in terms of the corporate action is higher than the market price of the company’s securities at the time that the corporate action was announced, if same is applicable. In addition, the assessment of reasonableness is also based on qualitative considerations surrounding a transaction. Even though the consideration may differ from the market value of the assets being acquired, a transaction may still be reasonable after considering other significant qualitative factors.

We have applied the aforementioned principles in preparing our opinion. This fair and reasonable opinion does not purport to cater for an individual shareholder’s position but rather the general body of shareholders subject to the Proposed Transaction. A shareholder’s decision regarding fair and reasonableness of the terms of the Proposed Transaction may be influenced by their particular circumstances (for example taxation and the original price paid for the shares).

5. SOURCES OF INFORMATION

In the course of our valuation analysis, we relied upon financial and other information, including prospective financial information, obtained from Synergy management (“Management”), its advisors and from various public, financial and industry sources. Our conclusion is dependent on such information being complete and accurate in all material respects.

The principal sources of information used in formalising our opinion include:

• A draft of the Circular to be sent to Synergy shareholders;• The audited annual financial statements of Synergy for the financial years ended 31 March 2014, 31 March 2015

and 31 March 2016;• The Synergy distribution forecasts for the year ending 31 March 2017 and 31 March 2018, with and without the

effects of the implementation of the Proposed Transaction;• Independent property valuers report on the value of the Synergy, Vukile (“Vukile Portfolio”) and Cumulative

(“Cumulative Portfolio”) property portfolios as at 31 July 2016 (“Property Valuation Reports”);• The Proposed Transaction agreements entered into between the various parties (“Transaction Agreements”);• Other financial and non-financial information and assumptions made by Management;• Discussions with Management regarding the financial information relating to prevailing market, economic, legal

and other conditions which may affect the underlying value and the rationale for the Proposed Transaction;• Publicly available information relating to Synergy, the Vukile Portfolio and the Cumulative Portfolio that we

deemed to be relevant; and• Publicly available information relating to the industry in which Synergy, Vukile and Cumulative operates that we

deemed relevant, including company announcements, analysts’ reports and media articles.

6. ASSUMPTIONS

We have arrived at our opinion based on the following assumptions:

• That the terms, conditions and structure of the Proposed Transaction are legally enforceable and suspensive conditions to the Proposed Transaction, as set out in the Transaction Agreements will be duly fulfilled;

• That reliance can be placed on the Property Valuation Reports;• That the steps forming part of the Proposed Transaction are inter-conditional;• The current economic, regulatory and market conditions will not change materially;• The company is not involved in any material legal proceedings;• The company has no outstanding disputes with any regulatory body, including the South African Revenue Service;• There are no undisclosed contingencies that could affect the value of the relevant securities;• The final agreed terms of the Proposed Transaction shall not materially adversely differ from the steps, and values

as presented in the draft agreements;• The structure of the Proposed Transaction will not give rise to any undisclosed tax liabilities; and• Reliance can be placed on the representations made by Management and the advisors during the course of forming

this opinion.

7. APPROPRIATENESS AND REASONABLENESS OF UNDERLYING INFORMATION AND ASSUMPTIONS

We satisfied ourselves as to the appropriateness and reasonableness of the information and assumptions employed in arriving at our opinion by:

• Considering the historical trends of provided information and assumptions;• Comparing and corroborating such information and assumptions with external sources of information, if such

information is available; and• Determining the extent to which representations from Management and other industry experts were confirmed by

documentary evidence as well as our understanding of Synergy and the economic environment in which it operates.

8. PROCEDURES

In arriving at our opinion, we relied upon financial and other information, obtained from Management and the advisors together with industry-related and other information in the public domain. Our conclusion is dependent on such information being accurate in all material respects.

In arriving at our opinion we have, inter alia, undertaken the following procedures in evaluating the fair and reasonableness of the Proposed Transaction:

• Reviewed and analysed the financial information and the terms and conditions as stipulated in the Transaction Agreements;• Reviewed the reasonableness of the information made available by and from discussions held with Management and

the advisors, such as, inter alia: – the rationale for the Proposed Transaction; – the events leading up to the Proposed Transaction; – such other matters as we considered necessary; – a comparison of the forecast financial information for Synergy to forecasted financial information as per analyst

reports; and – the current market conditions relating to the Synergy and its underlying operations.

• Where relevant, corroborated representations made by Management to source documents;• Reviewed certain publicly available information relating to Synergy that we have deemed relevant;• Determined the expected impact of the Proposed Transaction on future distributions to Synergy shareholders;• Calculated the current clean market price of Synergy A and B shares;• Obtained comfort to place reliance on the Property Valuation Reports by reviewing selective valuations performed

on Synergy, Vukile and Cumulative’s current property portfolios by comparing the inputs applied in the valuations to PSG Capital’s best estimate of inputs. Procedures performed by PSG Capital in deriving its best estimate of inputs applied included analysis of independent comparable properties valuations, extensive market research and discussions with a reputable third party property valuation expert;

Page 47: Synergy Income Fund Limited · 1 CORPORATE INFORMATION Registered office of Synergy Synergy Income Fund Limited (Registration number 2007/032604/06) One-on …

45

• Determined the internal rate of return (“IRR”) for Synergy shareholders before and after the Proposed Transaction. The IRR calculation factors in the differing growth profiles of Synergy before and after the Proposed Transaction and takes into consideration the medium-term outlook for shareholders. The expected IRR’s for shareholders before and after the Proposed Transaction were calculated with reference to the current market price of Synergy A and B shares, the forecast distributions for Synergy and an exit price based on forecast distributions for 2019 and the current one-year forward clean yield;

• Obtained letters of representation from Management and the advisors asserting that we have been provided with all relevant information and that no material information was omitted and that all such information provided to us is accurate in all respects; and

• Considered other relevant facts and information relevant to concluding this opinion.

9. VALUATION APPROACH

In considering the Proposed Transaction, PSG Capital performed an independent valuation of Synergy.

The valuation methodology applied in our valuation included:

• applying the income approach, as determined by the Discounted Cash Flow valuation approach on Synergy prior to and assuming the Proposed Transaction is effected;

• performing an accretion/dilution cash flow analysis by calculating the cash flow forecasted to be earned by a Synergy A and B shareholder pre- and post-implementation of the Proposed Transaction;

• determining the fair value per Synergy A and B share pre- and post-implementation of the Proposed Transaction based on a net asset value basis; and

• applying the distribution yield to determine the intrinsic value of a security based on the current calculated return on equity and distribution to Synergy shareholders.

Key external and internal value drivers identified include:

• the forward distribution and the forecasted distribution growth for Synergy. Any increase in the forecasted distribution would result in an increase in the value of the Synergy A and B share value and vice versa; and

• the distribution yield for Synergy. Any increase in the distribution yield would result in a decrease in the value of Synergy A and B share value and vice versa.

The key value drivers as set out above are influenced by various internal and external factors, including, inter alia:

• the quality of the property portfolio;• the lease expiry profile, vacancy levels and rent escalations of the property portfolio; and• forecasted interest rates and the entities relationships to bond yields.

Sensitivity analyses were conducted, where practical, utilising key value drivers, which included, inter alia, a variance range of 1.0% in the projected distribution yield for Synergy, which analysis resulted in a variation range on the calculated value of Synergy of 10.7%.

10. OPINION

We have considered the terms and conditions of the inter-conditional transactions forming part of the Proposed Transaction as set out above and based on the aforementioned, we are of the opinion, subject to the limiting conditions as set out below, that the indicative market value of:

• A Synergy B ordinary share, prior to Proposed Transaction amounts to between R6.37 and R7.45 with a likely core value of R6.91, being the midpoint of the value range;

• A Synergy B ordinary share, post the Proposed Transaction amounts to between R6.74 and R7.55 with a likely core value of R7.15, being the midpoint of the value range; and

• A Synergy A ordinary share, prior to Proposed Transaction amounts to between R9.90 and R11.37 with a likely core value of R10.64, being the midpoint of the value range and will not differ materially after the Proposed Transaction is completed.

We considered the terms of conditions of the Waiver and, based upon and subject to the conditions set out herein, are of the opinion that the Waiver is fair and reasonable to Synergy shareholders.

We considered the terms of conditions of the section 112 Disposal and, based upon and subject to the conditions set out herein, are of the opinion that the section 112 Disposal is fair and reasonable to Synergy shareholders.

46

In considering the values listed above, Synergy shareholders should take particular notice of the following factors:

The actual market value achieved in a specific transaction may be higher or lower than our estimate of the market value depending upon the circumstances of the transaction (for example strategic considerations of the purchaser) and the nature of the business (for example the purchaser’s perception of potential synergies); and

The above market value represents a standalone valuation of Synergy under current management, strategies and business plans.

The Proposed Transaction does not have any material adverse effect on Synergy or the rights and interests of the holders of the relevant classes of shares in Synergy as, the value per Synergy A share does not change due to the Proposed Transaction and the value range per Synergy B share is higher post the Proposed Transaction.

Subject to the aforegoing assumptions, based on our analysis and after taking into account all financial and non-financial considerations, we are of the opinion that the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable to the Synergy A and Synergy B shareholders.

51

(c) the day the company received a demand as contemplated in subsection (7) (b), if applicable, the company must send to each shareholder who has sent such a demand a written offer to pay an amount considered by the company’s directors to be the fair value of the relevant shares, subject to subsection (16), accompanied by a statement showing how that value was determined.

(12) Every offer made under subsection (11)—

(a) in respect of shares of the same class or series must be on the same terms; and

(14) A shareholder who has made a demand in terms of subsections (5) to (8) may apply to a court to determine a fair value in respect of the shares that were the subject of that demand, and an order requiring the company to pay the shareholder the fair value so determined, if the company has—

(a) all dissenting shareholders who have not accepted an offer from the company as at the date of the application must be joined as parties and are bound by the decision of the court;

the action approved by the resolution is effective, until the date of payment;(iv) may make an appropriate order of costs, having regard to any offer made by the company, and the final

determination of the fair value by the court; and(v) must make an order requiring—

(aa) the dissenting shareholders to either withdraw their respective demands or to comply with subsection (13) (a); and

(bb) the company to pay the fair value in respect of their shares to each dissenting shareholder who complies with subsection (13) (a), subject to any conditions the court considers necessary to ensure that the company fulfils its obligations under this section.

Page 54: Synergy Income Fund Limited · 1 CORPORATE INFORMATION Registered office of Synergy Synergy Income Fund Limited (Registration number 2007/032604/06) One-on …

52

(15A) At any time before the court has made an order contemplated in subsection (15) (c) (v), a dissenting shareholder may accept the offer made by the company in terms of subsection (11), in which case—

(a) that shareholder must comply with the requirements of subsection 13 (a); and

(b) the company must comply with the requirements of subsection 13 (b).

(16) The fair value in respect of any shares must be determined as at the date on which, and time immediately before, the company adopted the resolution that gave rise to a shareholder’s rights under this section.

(17) If there are reasonable grounds to believe that compliance by a company with subsection (13) (b), or with a court order in terms of subsection (15) (c) (v) (bb), would result in the company being unable to pays its debts as they fall due and payable for the ensuing 12 months—

(a) the company may apply to a court for an order varying the company’s obligations in terms of the relevant subsection; and

(b) the court may make an order that—

(i) is just and equitable, having regard to the financial circumstances of the company; and(ii) ensures that the person to whom the company owes money in terms of this section is paid at the earliest

possible date compatible with the company satisfying its other financial obligations as they fall due and payable.

(18) If the resolution that gave rise to a shareholder’s rights under this section authorised the company to amalgamate or merge with one or more other companies, such that the company whose shares are the subject of a demand in terms of this section has ceased to exist, the obligations of that company under this section are obligations of the successor to that company resulting from the amalgamation or merger.

(19) For greater certainty, the making of a demand, tendering of shares and payment by a company to a shareholder in terms of this section do not constitute a distribution by the company, or an acquisition of its shares by the company within the meaning of section 48, and therefore are not subject to—

(a) the provisions of that section; or

(b) the application by the company of the solvency and liquidity test set out in section 4.

(20) Except to the extent—

(a) expressly provided in this section; or

(b) that the Panel rules otherwise in a particular case, a payment by a company to a shareholder in terms of this section does not obligate any person to make a comparable offer under section 125 to any other person.

KNIGHT FRANK SUMMARY VALUATION REPORT IN RESPECT OF THE PROPERTIES COMPRISING THE SYNERGY AND VUKILE PORTFOLIOS

The DirectorsSynergy Income Fund LimitedGround Floor, One-on-NinthCorner Glenhove Road and Ninth StreetMelrose Estate2196

15 September 2016

Dear Sirs

RE: INDEPENDENT PROPERTY VALUERS’ REPORT OF THE PROPERTY PORTFOLIO FOR SYNERGY INCOME FUND LIMITED (“SYNERGY”) AS DETAILED IN THE SUMMARY SCHEDULE ATTACHED AND FOR WHICH THERE ARE DETAILED VALUATION REPORTS HELD BY SYNERGY

In accordance with your instruction of 1 March 2016, I confirm that we have visited and inspected the 21 properties listed in the attached schedule (“the properties”) during March and April 2016 (Section 13.23 (a) (iii)) and have received all necessary details required to perform a valuation in order to provide you with my opinion of the properties’ market values as at 31 July 2016 (Section 13.23 (c)).

1. INTRODUCTION

The valuation of the properties has been carried out by the valuer who has carefully considered all aspects of all the properties. These properties each have a detailed valuation report which has been given to the management of Synergy. The detailed reports include commentary on the current economy, nature of the properties, locality, tenancy, risk profile, forward rent and earning capability and exposure to future expenses and property risk. All these aspects have been considered in the individual valuation reports of the properties. The detailed reports have further addressed the tenancy income capability and expenditure for each property and tenant. Historic expenditure profile as well as future expenditure increases have been considered. The value thus indicates the fair market value for each property which is detailed in the detailed report and which has been summarised on a summary schedule, attached hereto, for each property. There are 21 properties and the important aspects of the detailed valuation report including the property market value for all of the properties have been summarised in the attached schedule.

2. BASIS OF VALUATION

The valuation is based on market value. Market value means the best price, at which the sale of an interest in a property may reasonably be expected to have been completed, unconditionally for a cash consideration on the date of valuation, assuming:

2.1 a willing seller and a willing buyer in a market;

2.2 that, prior to the date of valuation, there had been a reasonable period (having regard to the nature of the property and the state of the market) for the proper marketing of the property, for the agreement of price and terms and for the completion of the sale; and

2.3 that the state of the market, level of values and other circumstances are, on any earlier assumed date of exchange of contracts, the same as on the date of the valuation.

3. VALUE CALCULATION

The calculation of the market value of these properties has been based on the discounted Cashflow of contracted income and the income capitalisation of reversionary market rentals.

This is the fundamental basis on which commercial income-producing properties are traded on the market in South Africa. This is also due to there being supporting evidence of open market rental rates and capitalisation rates which are evidenced by sales in the market.

Properties traded in the current market reflect a yield-rate relationship between revenue and capital value. This rate is an accurate determinant of the capitalisation rate.

Page 56: Synergy Income Fund Limited · 1 CORPORATE INFORMATION Registered office of Synergy Synergy Income Fund Limited (Registration number 2007/032604/06) One-on …

54

The income capitalisation has, however, also been calculated for each property as a check to ensure that the discounted Cashflow value calculated is consistent with market norms and expectations.

The considerations for the valuations are as follows:

3.1 calculating the forward cash flow of all contractual and other income from the properties;

3.2 calculating the forward contractual and other expenditure as well as provisions for various expenses in order to provide for void or future capital expenditure to which the property may be exposed;

3.3 the current area vacancy as a percentage of the properties is approximately 2.8%. In order to apply a conservative approach, I have deducted approximately 3.47% of the net income as a provision for rental that may not be collected as a consequence of vacancy, tenant failure or tenant refitting during the course of the coming year. The current vacancy is market-related. The void provision used in the valuation is therefore adequate. (Section 13.23 (f) (i));

3.4 there is no loss of rental due to renovations or refurbishments currently being carried out on the buildings. There is, however, ongoing external maintenance work and some tenant installation fitting that is currently in progress. There is no loss of rental as a result of these activities.

3.5 generally the rentals are market-related. This has been determined by comparing similar buildings in comparable areas to the properties valued, in terms of rental per square metre. The rental rate has also been checked against various published indices including the Rode Report. There are two properties, namely Cape Town Belville Suntyger and Roodepoort Robertville Industrial Park, that are slightly over-rented by a measured 4.3% and 7.3% against current market rentals. These are, however, considered to be within tolerable levels for renewal by sitting tenants and are not seen to be a significant reversionary downside risk to the investments. There is therefore minimal potential for rental flow reversion. There is, however, a positive upside potential for real growth in rental, given the low base off which the average rentals flow. This is provided that the economy remains in a slow recovery pattern as currently being experienced as that there are no major economic fluctuations which may upset the economy;

3.6 capitalising the net contractual income derived from the properties for a period of 1 year in advance, calculated from 1 August 2016;

3.7 the valuation has considered published market statistics regarding rental rates and expenditure for the different types of properties. It has also considered numerous other portfolios of similar properties in order to determine if any properties are over-rented or have excessive expenditure; and

3.8 various provisions for capital contingencies were deducted from the capitalised value.

4. SPARE LAND

There are no properties with large tracts of vacant zoned and serviced spare land.

5. BRIEF DESCRIPTION

The properties have been well constructed, have good architectural merit, aesthetic appeal, sufficient parking facilities and are virtually fully tenanted. The leases tend to be of a general contractual rental nature with provision for the recovery of services consumed by the lessee’s and turnover rental from various retail outlets. Escalations are market-related but are high enough to ensure a more than positive growth rate is ensured without creating an over-rent potential in the medium-term. The properties are generally highly visible and dominate their environment.

In respect of the properties, the current net annual rental and the estimated future net annual rentals at specified dates and for specified periods are included in each individual detailed property valuation report.

6. VALUATION QUALIFICATIONS

Qualifications are usually detailed as a consequence of: leases under negotiation that have not yet been formalised; leases of a large nature where the premises are difficult to re-let; specialised properties; large exposure to a single tenant; potential tenant failure due to over-rent; expenses required for major repairs; maintenance or other exposure to maintain the lettability of the building; contingent expropriations or servitudes that may be enforced; poor lease recordals whereby the lease may be disputed or rendered invalid.

I have, to the best of my knowledge, considered all of these aspects in the valuation of all the properties. There are no properties that are prejudiced in value by the influence of the above factors.

Page 57: Synergy Income Fund Limited · 1 CORPORATE INFORMATION Registered office of Synergy Synergy Income Fund Limited (Registration number 2007/032604/06) One-on …

55

The valuer is, however, not responsible for the competent daily management of these properties that will ensure that this status is maintained, or for the change of any laws, services by local authority or economic circumstances that may adversely impact on the integrity of the buildings or the tenant profile.

7. OPTIONS OR BENEFIT DETRIMENT OF CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENTS

To my knowledge there are no contractual arrangements on the properties other than the leases as detailed in the report that have a major benefit or are detrimental to the fundamental value base of the properties. (Section 13.23 (g)).

To the best of my knowledge, there are no options in favour of any parties for any purchase of any of the properties. (Section 13.23 (h)).

8. INTRA-GROUP OR RELATED-PARTY LEASES

Having inspected all the tenant schedules and leases it is noted that there are no intra-group or related party leases.

9. CURRENT STATE OF DEVELOPMENT

There are no properties which are currently being developed.

10. RENTALS USED IN VALUATIONS

Note that all these properties are all rented out. The current annual rental and future annual rentals have been calculated in a separate discounted cash flow check schedule. It is noted that there are no material rental reversions and that the rentals for all the properties increase on average by approximately 8%, compounding per annum.

11. EXTERNAL PROPERTY

None of the properties are situated outside the Republic of South Africa.

12. OTHER GENERAL MATTERS AND VALUATION SUMMARY (SECTIONS 13.30 AND 13.31)

A full valuation report is available on a property-by-property basis. These have been given to the directors of Synergy. Full tenancy details, with budgeted income and expenditure schedules for 2016 have been disclosed to us by the property managers.

13. ALTERNATIVE USE FOR A PROPERTY

The properties have been valued in accordance with their existing use which represents their market value. No alternative use for the properties have been considered in determining their value.

14. OTHER COMMENTS

Our valuation excludes any amounts of value-added tax, transfer duty, or securities transfer duty.

15. CAVEATS

15.1 Source of information and verification

Information on the properties regarding rental income, recoveries, turnovers and other income detail has been provided to me by the current owners and their managing agents.

We have carried out a representative sampling of lease documents for each of the 22 properties. This sampling has been determined by the valuer and covers the major tenant leases of the property as well as the full range of shop uses (supermarket anchor; department stores; food and restaurant; furniture; clothing; apparel; banks/ATM’s; specialty stores; pharmacy and office suites (private and public entities)). The leases have been read to check against management detail, in order to ensure that management has correctly captured tenant information as per contractual agreement. This has been done to test management information against the underlying agreements.

I have further compared certain expenditures given to me, to the market norms of similar properties.

Page 58: Synergy Income Fund Limited · 1 CORPORATE INFORMATION Registered office of Synergy Synergy Income Fund Limited (Registration number 2007/032604/06) One-on …

56

This has also been compared to historic expenditure levels of the properties themselves. Historical contractual expenditures and municipal utility services were compared to the past performance of the properties in order to assess potential expenditure going forward. The municipal values on the properties are very low. At the current transaction values there is some potential for the municipal value to increase by a considerable amount, should the municipality revalue these properties, in which event the rates could increase to three or four times their current amount.

15.2 Full disclosure

This valuation has been prepared on the basis that full disclosures of all information and factors that may affect the valuation have been made to myself.

I have, to the best of my ability, researched the market as well as taken the steps detailed in paragraph 15.3 below.

15.3 Leases

Our valuation has been based on a review of actual tenants’ leases (which includes material terms such as repairing obligations, escalations and break options) and other pertinent details supplied to us by the managing agents and by Vukile and Synergy. All recovery details in respect of the existing leases e.g. utility cost and other recoveries as provided for in the leases have been disclosed by way of the forward monthly summary schedule supplied to us. Option terms and other lease information have been supplied to us by the owners and managing agents.

15.4 Mortgage bonds, loans, etc.

The properties have been valued as if wholly-owned with no account being taken of any outstanding monies due in respect of mortgage bonds, loans and other charges. No deductions have been made in our valuation for costs of acquisition.

The valuation is detailed in a completed state and no deductions have been made for retention or any other set-off or deduction for any purposes which may be made at the discretion of the purchaser when purchasing the properties.

15.5 Calculation of areas

All areas quoted within the detailed valuation reports are those stated in the information furnished and verified where plans were available. To the extent that plans were not available, reliance was placed on the information submitted by the managing agents, together with our own on-site verification of occupancies and tenant placements within each property.

Updated plans were not available for all the properties in respect of internal configuration. The properties generally appear to have the stated square meterage which could only be more accurately determined if re-measured by a professional.

15.6 Structural condition

The properties have been valued in their existing state. I have not carried out any structural surveys, nor inspected those areas that are unexposed or inaccessible, neither have I arranged for the testing of any electrical or other services.

15.7 Contamination

The valuation assumes that a formal environmental assessment is not required and further that none of the properties are environmentally impaired or contaminated, unless otherwise stated in our report.

15.8 Town planning

Full town planning details and title deeds have been supplied in the detailed valuation reports including conditions and restrictions and the properties have been checked against such conditions. This is to ensure that they comply with town planning regulations and title deeds. There do not appear to be any infringements of local authority regulations or deeds by any of the property.

The valuation has further assumed that the improvements have been erected in accordance with the relevant Building and Town Planning Regulations and on inspection it would appear that the improvements are in accordance with the relevant town planning regulations for these properties.

There is no contravention of any statutory regulation, or town planning local authority regulation or contravention of title deed relating to any of the properties which infringement could decrease the value of the properties as stated.

16. MARKET VALUE

I am of the opinion that the aggregate market value of the properties as at 31 July 2016 is ZAR2 481 800.00 (excluding VAT), with the market value of the properties comprising the Synergy portfolio and Vukile portfolio being R1 428 800 000 (excluding VAT) and R1 053 000 000 (excluding VAT), respectively. A summary of the individual valuations and details of each of the properties is attached.

To the best of our knowledge and belief there have been no material changes in circumstances between the date of the valuation and the date of the valuation report which would affect the valuation.

I have more than 25 years’ experience in the valuation of all nature of property and I am qualified to express an opinion on the fair market value of the properties.

I trust that I have carried out all instructions to your satisfaction and thank you for the opportunity of undertaking this valuation on your behalf.

Yours faithfully,

for Knight Frank Gauteng Proprietary LtdRoger Martin FitchetMRICS FIV(SA)Registered Professional Valuer SACPVP 1373

The valuation of the properties has been carried out by the valuer who has carefully considered all aspects of all the properties. These properties each have a detailed valuation report which has been given to the management of Vukile and Synergy funds. The detailed reports include commentary on the current economy, nature of the properties, locality, tenancy, risk profile, forward rent and earning capability and exposure to future expenses and property risk.

All these aspects have been considered in the individual valuation reports of the properties. The detailed reports have further addressed the tenancy income capability and expenditure for each property and tenant. Historic expenditure profile as well as future expenditure increases have been considered. The value therefore indicates the fair market value for each property which is detailed in the attached report and which has been summarised on a schedule as attached hereto, for each property. There are 22 properties in total comprising the portfolio. All essential aspects of information of the properties have been summarised in the attached schedule.

2. BASIS OF VALUATION

The valuation is based on market value.

Market value is “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 and wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.” (IVS 7th edition).

Furthermore the principles of fair value measurement have been applied in the determination of value which is defined as “The price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” (IFRS 13).

Note that the values and calculation methodology have been sensitivity tested by way of quantitative analysis by analysing the capitalisation rates, discount rates, rental growth potential, expenditure increase, risk consideration and other inputs in various discounted cash flow models.

3. VALUE CALCULATION

The calculation of the market value of these properties has mainly been based on a discounted cash flow basis which considers the present value of the properties which are calculated from the forward income flow potential.

This is the fundamental basis on which the value of larger multi-tenanted investment properties are calculated. Investment properties produce a perpetual income stream, and the discounted cash flow of such revenue stream is an accurate means of determining the market value.

Properties traded in the current market reflect a yield, discount and growth expectation rate relationship between the revenue potential and the properties’ capital value. This rate is an accurate determinant of the discount rate and forward yield potential.

The capitalised value has also been calculated for each property as a check to ensure that the discounted cash flow value calculated is consistent with market norms and expectations. Where there is additional revenue from property as a result of rentalisations or other specialised rental, these incomes have then been regarded as finite income streams and the cashflow has been discounted at an appropriate rate.

The considerations for the valuations are as follows:

3.1 Calculating the forward cash flow of all contractual and other income derived from the properties.

3.2 Calculating the forward contractual and other expenditure as well as provisions for various expenses in order to provide for void or future capital expenditure to which the property may be exposed.

3.3 The current area vacancy as a percentage of the properties is approximately 5.28%. Industrial has a 2.89% vacancy rate, retail has a 3.66% vacancy rate, and offices have a 9.55% vacancy rate. The current vacancy is lower than the weighted average at approximately 3.4% for industrial properties – SAPOA December 2015, Retail 4.5 % SAPOA June 2016 and 10.9% for offices 1st quarter 2016) for this nature of property type.

3.4 In the cash flow calculation I have provided for non-recovery of income due to vacancy or other reason. Approximately 1.88% of the net rental income (R4 298 347.76 ) has been deducted as a provision for rental that may not be collected as a consequence of vacancy, tenant failure or tenant refitting cost, i.e. voids. This has penalised the property in perpetuity. Management should be able to improve on this aspect in future, indicating good internal growth potential from the properties themselves, if managed aggressively.

3.5 Other cash flow expenditure has been raised as a provision for tenant installation of R756 607.83, for general repairs and maintenance of R1 351 594.28 and agents commission of R720 620.08.

3.6 There is no loss of rental due to renovations or refurbishments currently being carried out on the buildings. There is some external maintenance work on various buildings and some tenant installation fitting that is currently in progress. There is no loss of rental as a result of these activities.

3.7 Generally the rentals are market-related. Some rentals are marginally lower than market. The portfolio is a mix of developments and a mix of property grades. There is one building with rentals that are marginally higher than market – it is: Pretoria Lynnwood Sanlynn. The rental relationships have been determined by comparing similar buildings in comparable areas to the properties valued, in terms of rental per square metre. The rental rate has also been checked against various published indices including the South African Property Owners Association (SAPOA) index. There are no properties that are highly over-rented, or that cannot be re-rented at the same or higher rental rate should such property become vacant. There is therefore average potential for rental flow reversion. This is provided that the economy remains in a slow growth pattern as currently being experienced and that there are no major economic fluctuations which may upset the economy. Current growth rate projected at approximately 1.1% for 2016.

3.8 Values have been determined by discounting the forward cash flows at a rate of approximately 15.3% per annum which represents a market-related yield and reasonable growth potential of 6% from the properties at this level. The cash flows have been calculated for five years in advance, with due consideration to the high increases in property-related expenditure which tends to be in the range of 6% up to 7.48%, excluding electricity, which is generally fully recoverable.

3.9 The valuation has considered published market statistics regarding rental rates and expenditure for the different types of properties. It has also considered numerous other portfolios of similar properties in order to benchmark and determine if any properties are over-rented or have excessive expenditure.

3.10 Various capital provisions for repairs and commissions were calculated. These provisions amount to R10 726 877.03 for repairs and R1 735 000.00 for commissions which were deducted from the capital value of the properties.

3.11 Other capital contingency expenditure has been deducted from the capital value for tenant installation of R6 395 767.00 loss of rental for vacant space is R4 643 692.63 and upgrades to retain tenant R2 780 000.00.

4. SPARE LAND

The portfolio comprises numerous properties which are of a commercial industrial or retail nature. There may be some additional bulk available for development on the properties, however such spare land is not material enough to impact on the valuation of the relevant properties. None of this future potential development has been considered and no value has been attributed for such potential.

6. VALUATION QUALIFICATIONS

Qualifications are usually detailed as a consequence of:

Leases under negotiation that have not yet been formalised; leases of a large nature where the premises are difficult to re-let; specialised properties; large exposure to a single tenant; potential tenant failure due to over-rent; expenses required for major repairs; maintenance or other exposure to maintain the lettability of the building; contingent expropriations or servitudes that may be enforced; poor lease recordals whereby the lease may be disputed or rendered invalid.

I have, to the best of my knowledge, considered all of these aspects in the valuation of all the properties. There are no properties that are prejudiced in value by the influence of the above factors.

I am, however, not responsible for the competent daily management of these properties that will ensure that this status is maintained, or for the change of any laws, services by local authority or economic circumstances that may adversely impact on the integrity of the buildings or the tenant profile, or legal dispute which may result in any cash flow hiatus.

7. OPTIONS OR BENEFIT DETRIMENT OF CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENTS

To my knowledge there are no contractual arrangements on the properties other than the leases as detailed in the report that have a major benefit or are detrimental to the fundamental value base of the properties.

To the best of my knowledge, there are no options in favour of any parties for any purchase arrangement on any of the properties.

8. INTRA-GROUP OR RELATED-PARTY LEASES

Having inspected all the tenant schedules and leases it is noted that there are no intra-group or related party leases.

9. CURRENT STATE OF DEVELOPMENT

There are no properties which are currently under development.

10. EXTERNAL PROPERTY

None of the properties are situated outside the Republic of South Africa.

11. RENTALS USED IN VALUATIONS

Note that all these properties are generally rented out. The current annual rental and future annual rentals have been calculated in a separate discounted cash flow schedule. It is noted that there are no material rental reversions and that the rentals for all the properties increase on average by approximately 7.31%, compounding per annum.

12. OTHER GENERAL MATTERS AND VALUATION SUMMARY

A full valuation report is available on a property-by-property basis detailing tenancy, town planning, valuer’s commentary, expenditure and other details. This has been given to the directors of Vukile and Synergy funds.

13. ALTERNATIVE USE FOR A PROPERTY

The properties have all been valued in accordance with their existing use which represents their best use and market value. No alternative uses for the properties have been considered in determination of their value.

14. OTHER COMMENTS

Our valuation excludes any amounts of value-added tax, transfer duty, or securities transfer duty.

15. CAVEATS

15.1 Source of information and verification

Information on the properties regarding rental income, recoveries, turnovers and other income detail has been provided to me by the current owners and their managing agents.

I have received copies of all of the leases of the existing properties where such leases are the major tenant or tenants comprising anything higher than 5% occupancy of the property. The leases have been read to check against management detail records, in order to ensure that management has correctly captured tenant information as per the contractual agreements. This has been done to test management information accuracy against the underlying lease agreements.

I have further compared certain expenditures given to me, to the market norms of similar properties. This has also been compared to historical expenditure levels of the properties themselves. Historical contractual expenditures and municipal utility services were compared to the past performance of the properties in order to assess potential expenditure going forward. The municipal values on the properties are generally market-related and reasonable with little potential to increase dramatically.

15.2 Full disclosure

This valuation has been prepared on the basis that full disclosure of all revenue and expenditure information and factors that may affect the valuation have been made to myself.

I have, to the best of my ability, researched the market as well as taken the steps detailed in paragraph 15.3 below.

15.3 Leases

Our valuation has been based on a review of actual tenants’ leases (which includes material terms such as repair obligations, escalations, break options etc.) and other pertinent details which have been supplied to us by the managing agents and by Vukile and Synergy funds. These have been detailed in the tenant schedules attached to each individual valuation report.

All recovery details in respect of the existing leases, e.g. utility cost and other recoveries as provided for in the leases, have been disclosed by way of the monthly tenant invoices and summary schedule supplied to us. Option terms and other lease information have been supplied to us by the owners and managing agents and we are familiar with such documents.

15.4 Lessee’s credibility

In arriving at our valuation, cognisance has been taken of the lessee’s security and rating. In some cases this has influenced the capitalisation rate by way of a risk consideration. The current portfolio is 53% occupied by national or international tenant base.

15.5 Mortgage bonds, loans, etc.

The properties have been valued as if wholly-owned with no account being taken of any outstanding monies due in respect of mortgage bonds, loans and other charges. No deductions have been made in our valuation for costs of acquisition. Proportionate shareholding has been detailed.

The valuation is detailed in a completed state and no deductions have been made for retention or any other set-off or deduction for any purposes which may be made at the discretion of the purchaser when purchasing the properties.

15.6 Calculation of areas

All areas quoted within the detailed valuation reports are those stated in the information furnished and verified from leases and where plans were available. To the extent that plans were not available, reliance was placed on the information submitted by the managing agents and lease information.

Updated plans were not available for all the properties in respect of internal configuration. The properties generally appear to have the stated square meterage as per lease, which could only be more accurately determined if remeasured by a professional.

15.7 Structural condition

The properties have been valued in their existing state. I have not carried out any structural surveys, nor inspected those areas that are unexposed or inaccessible, neither have I arranged for the testing of any electrical or other services.

15.8 Contamination

The valuation assumes that a formal environmental assessment is not required, and further that none of the properties are environmentally impaired or contaminated, unless otherwise stated in our report.

15.9 Town planning

Full town planning details and title deeds have been noted in the detailed valuation reports including conditions and restrictions and the properties have been checked against such conditions. This is to ensure that they comply with town planning regulations and title deeds. There do not appear to be any infringements of local authority regulations or deeds by any of the properties.

The valuation has further assumed that the improvements have been erected in accordance with the relevant Building and Town Planning Regulations and on inspection it would appear that the improvements are in accordance with the relevant town planning regulations for these properties. Certificates of occupation are available and on file for each building.

There is no contravention of any statutory regulation, or town planning local authority regulation or contravention of title deed relating to any of the properties which infringement could decrease the value of the properties as stated as at current date of local authority legislation.

16. MARKET VALUE

I am of the opinion that the aggregate market value of the property portfolio value as at 31 July 2016 is R2 424 600 000.00 (excluding VAT) with the market value of the properties comprising the Synergy portfolio and Vukile portfolio being R1 045 800 000 (excluding VAT) and R1 378 800 000 (excluding VAT), respectively. A summary of the individual valuations and details of each of the properties is attached.

To the best of my knowledge and belief there have been no material changes in circumstances between the date of the valuation and the date of the valuation report which would affect the valuation.

I have more than 30 years’ experience in the valuation of all nature of property and I am qualified to express an opinion on the fair market value of the properties.

I trust that I have carried out all instructions to your satisfaction and thank you for the opportunity of undertaking this valuation on your behalf.

Yours faithfully,

REAL INSIGHT SUMMARY VALUATION REPORT IN RESPECT OF THE PROPERTIES COMPRISING THE CUMULATIVE PORTFOLIO

The DirectorsSynergy Income Fund Limited2nd Floor, 18 Melrose BoulevardMelrose ArchJohannesburg

15 September 2016

Dear Sirs

RE: INDEPENDENT PROPERTY VALUERS’ REPORT OF THE PROPERTY PORTFOLIO FOR SYNERGY INCOME FUND LIMITED AS DETAILED IN THE SUMMARY SCHEDULE ATTACHED AND FOR WHICH THERE ARE DETAILED VALUATION REPORTS HELD BY SYNERGY INCOME FUND LIMITED

In accordance with your instruction of 9 May 2016, I confirm that we have visited and inspected the 100 properties listed in the attached schedule (“the properties”) during May and June 2016 (Section 13.23 (a) (iii)) and have received all necessary details required to perform a valuation in order to provide you with my opinion of the properties’ market values as at 31 July 2016.

1. INTRODUCTION

The valuation of the properties has been carried out by the valuer who has carefully considered all aspects of all the properties. These properties each have a detailed valuation report which has been given to the management of Synergy Income Fund Limited. The detailed reports include commentary on the current economy, nature of the properties, locality, tenancy, risk profile, forward rent and earning capability and exposure to future expenses and property risk. All these aspects have been considered in the individual valuation reports of the properties. The detailed reports have further addressed the tenancy income capability and expenditure for each property and tenant. Historic expenditure profile as well as future expenditure increases have been considered. The value thus indicates the fair market value for each property which is detailed in the detailed report and which has been summarised on a summary schedule, attached hereto, for each property. There are 100 properties and the important aspects of the detailed valuation report, including the property market value for all of the properties, have been summarised in the attached schedule.

2. BASIS OF VALUATION

The valuation is based on market value.

Market value means the best price, at which the sale of an interest in a property may reasonably be expected to have been completed, unconditionally for a cash consideration on the date of valuation, assuming:

2.1 a willing seller and a willing buyer in a market;

2.2 that, prior to the date of valuation, there had been a reasonable period (having regard to the nature of the property and the state of the market) for the proper marketing of the property, for the agreement of price and terms and for the completion of the sale; and

2.3 that the state of the market, level of values and other circumstances are, on any earlier assumed date of exchange of contracts, the same as on the date of the valuation.

3. VALUE CALCULATION

The calculation of the market value of these properties has been based on income capitalisation. This is the fundamental basis on which commercial income-producing properties are traded on the market in South Africa. This is also due to there being strong supporting evidence of open market rental rates and capitalisation rates which are evidenced by sales in the market.

Properties traded in the current market reflect a yield-rate relationship between revenue and capital value. This rate is an accurate determinant of the capitalisation rate.

Page 71: Synergy Income Fund Limited · 1 CORPORATE INFORMATION Registered office of Synergy Synergy Income Fund Limited (Registration number 2007/032604/06) One-on …

69

The considerations for the capitalised valuations are as follows:

3.1 Calculating the forward cash flow of all contractual and other income from the properties.

3.2 Calculating the forward contractual and other expenditure as well as provisions for various expenses in order to provide for void or future capital expenditure to which the property may be exposed.

3.3 The current area vacancy as a percentage of the property portfolio is approximately 9.51%. In order to apply a conservative approach, we have deducted approximately 9.51% of the gross income as a provision for rental that may not be collected as a consequence of vacancy, tenant failure or tenant refitting during the course of the coming year. The current vacancy is market-related. The void provision used in the valuation is therefore adequate.

3.4 There is no loss of rental due to renovations or refurbishments currently being carried out on the buildings. There is, however, ongoing external and internal maintenance work and some tenant installation fitting out that is currently in progress. There is no loss of rental as a result of these activities.

3.5 Generally, the rentals are market-related. This has been determined by comparing similar buildings in comparable areas to the properties valued, in terms of rental per square metre. The rental rate has also been checked against various published indices, including the Rode Report. There are no properties that are over-rented, or that cannot be re-rented at the same or higher rental rate should such property become vacant. There is therefore minimal potential for rental flow reversion. There is however, a positive upside potential for real growth in rental, given the low base of which the average rentals flow. This is provided that the economy remains in a slow recovery pattern as currently being experienced as that there are no major economic fluctuations which may upset the economy.

3.6 Capitalising the net contractual income derived from the properties for a period of one year in advance, calculated from 1 August 2016.

3.7 The valuation has considered published market statistics regarding rental rates and expenditure for the different types of properties. It has also considered numerous other portfolios of similar properties in order to determine if any properties are over-rented or have excessive expenditure.

3.8 Various provisions for capital contingencies were deducted from the capitalised value.

4. SPARE LAND

As far as could be established, there are no properties with large tracts of vacant zoned and serviced spare land.

5. BRIEF DESCRIPTION

The properties comprise of retail, office and industrial accommodation. Please refer to the summary of properties below:

The properties have been well constructed and generally have acceptable architectural merit, aesthetic appeal and sufficient parking facilities and are virtually fully tenanted. The leases tend to be of a general short-to-medium-term contractual rental nature with provision for the recovery of utility services consumed by the lessees. Escalations are market-related, but are high enough to ensure a more than positive growth rate is ensured without creating an over-rent potential in the medium-term. The properties are generally highly visible and dominate their environment.

In respect of the properties, the current net annual rental and the estimated future net annual rentals at specified dates and for specified periods are included in each individual detailed property valuation report.

6. VALUATION QUALIFICATIONS

Qualifications are usually detailed as a consequence of: leases under negotiation that have not yet been formalised; leases of a large nature where the premises are difficult to re-let; specialised properties; large exposure to a single tenant; potential tenant failure due to over-rent; expenses required for major repairs; maintenance or other exposure to maintain the lettability of the building; contingent expropriations or servitudes that may be enforced; poor lease records whereby the lease may be disputed or rendered invalid.

We have, to the best of our knowledge, considered all of these aspects in the valuation of all the properties. There are no properties that are prejudiced in value by the influence of the above factors.

Page 74: Synergy Income Fund Limited · 1 CORPORATE INFORMATION Registered office of Synergy Synergy Income Fund Limited (Registration number 2007/032604/06) One-on …

72

The valuer is, however, not responsible for the competent daily management of these properties that will ensure that this status is maintained, or for the change of any laws, services by local authority or economic circumstances that may adversely impact on the integrity of the buildings or the tenant profile.

7. OPTIONS OR BENEFIT DETRIMENT OF CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENTS

To my knowledge there are no contractual arrangements on the properties other than the leases as detailed in the report that have a major benefit or are detrimental to the fundamental value base of the properties.

To the best of my knowledge, there are no options in favour of any parties for any purchase of any of the properties.

8. INTRA-GROUP OR RELATED-PARTY LEASES

Having inspected all the tenant schedules and leases it is noted that there are no intra-group or related party leases.

9. CURRENT STATE OF DEVELOPMENT

There is no property which is currently being re-developed. Note, however, that there is spare land capacity for expansion on certain properties, subject to current usage, soil conditions, zoning and road reserves.

10. RENTALS USED IN VALUATIONS

Note that all these properties are all generally rented out. The current annual rental and future annual rentals have been calculated in a separate discounted cash flow check schedule. It is noted that there are no material rental reversions and that the rentals for all the properties increase on average by approximately 7 – 9 %, compounding per annum.

11. EXTERNAL PROPERTY

None of the properties are situated outside the Republic of South Africa.

12. OTHER GENERAL MATTERS AND VALUATION SUMMARY

A full valuation report is available on a property-by-property basis, detailing tenancy, town planning, valuer’s commentary, expenditure and other details. This has been given to the directors of Synergy Income Fund Limited.

13. ALTERNATIVE USE FOR A PROPERTY

The properties have been valued in accordance with their existing use, which represents their market value. No alternative use for the properties has been considered in determining their value.

14. OTHER COMMENTS

Our valuation excludes any amounts of value-added tax, transfer duty, or securities transfer duty.

15. CAVEATS

15.1 Source of information and verification

Information on the properties regarding rental income, recoveries and other income detail has been provided to us by the current owners and their managing agents.

We have received copies of all of the leases of the existing properties where such leases are the major tenant or tenants comprising anything higher than 10% occupancy of the property. The leases have been read to check against management detail, in order to ensure that management has correctly captured tenant information as per contractual agreement. This has been done to test management information against the underlying agreements.

We have further compared certain expenditures given to us to the market norms of similar properties. This has also been compared to historic expenditure levels of the properties themselves. Historical contractual expenditures and municipal utility services were compared to the past performance of the properties in order to assess potential expenditure going forward.

73

The municipal values on the properties are very low. At the current transaction values there is some potential for the municipal value to increase by a considerable amount, should the municipality revalue these properties, in which event the rates could increase to three or four times their current amount.

15.2 Full disclosure

This valuation has been prepared on the basis that full disclosures of all information and factors that may affect the valuation have been made to me.

We have, to the best of our ability, researched the market as well as taken the steps detailed in paragraph 15.3 below.

15.3 Leases

Our valuation has been based on a review of actual tenants’ leases (which includes material terms such as repairing obligations, escalations and break options) and other pertinent details supplied to us by the managing agents and by Synergy Income Fund Limited. All recovery details in respect of the existing leases, e.g. utility costs and other recoveries as provided for in the leases, have been disclosed by way of the monthly tenant invoices and the summary schedule supplied to us. Option terms and other lease information have been supplied to us by the owners and managing agents and we are familiar with such documents.

15.4 Lessees credibility

In arriving at our valuation, cognisance has been taken of the lessee’s security and rating. In some cases this has influenced the capitalisation rate by way of a risk consideration.

15.5 Mortgage bonds, loans, etc.

The properties have been valued as if wholly-owned, with no account being taken of any outstanding monies due in respect of mortgage bonds, loans and other charges. No deductions have been made in our valuation for costs of acquisition.

The valuation is detailed in a completed state and no deductions have been made for retention or any other set-off or deduction for any purposes which may be made at the discretion of the purchaser when purchasing the properties.

15.6 Calculation of areas

All areas quoted within the detailed valuation reports are those stated in the information furnished and verified where plans were available. To the extent that plans were not available, reliance was placed on the information submitted by the managing agents. Updated plans were not available for all the properties in respect of internal configuration. The properties generally appear to have the stated square meterage which could only be more accurately determined if remeasured by a professional. The reported square meterage is therefore considered as correct as possible without a full re-measurement exercise being undertaken.

15.7 Structural condition

The properties have been valued in their existing state. We have not carried out any structural surveys, nor inspected those areas that are unexposed or inaccessible, neither have we arranged for the testing of any electrical or other services.

15.8 Contamination

The valuation assumes that a formal environmental assessment is not required, and further that none of the properties are environmentally impaired or contaminated, unless otherwise stated in our report.

15.9 Town planning

Full town planning details and title deeds have been supplied in the detailed valuation reports, including conditions and restrictions, and the properties have been checked against such conditions. This is to ensure that they comply with town planning regulations and title deeds. There do not appear to be any infringements of local authority regulations or deeds in respect of the properties.

The valuation has further assumed that the improvements have been erected in accordance with the relevant Building and Town Planning Regulations and on inspection it would appear that the improvements are in accordance with the relevant town planning regulations for these properties.

There is no contravention of any statutory regulation, or town planning local authority regulation or contravention of title deed relating to any of the properties, where infringement could decrease the value of the properties as stated.

16. MARKET VALUE

I am of the opinion that the aggregate market value of the properties as at 31 July 2016 is R1 893 300 000 (excluding VAT). A summary of the individual valuations and details of each of the properties are attached.

To the best of our knowledge and belief there have been no material changes in circumstances between the date of the valuation and the date of the valuation report which would affect the valuation.

I have more than 25 years’ experience in the valuation of all nature of property and I am qualified to express an opinion on the fair market value of the properties.

I trust that I have carried out all instructions to your satisfaction and thank you for the opportunity of undertaking this valuation on your behalf.

Yours faithfully,for Real Insight Proprietary Ltd

Annexure 8

FORECAST STATEMENTS OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME IN RESPECT OF SYNERGY

Set out below are the forecast statements of comprehensive income in respect of Synergy (“forecasts”) for the six months ending 30 September 2016 and year ending 30 September 2017 (“forecast periods”), prepared on the basis that the forecasts include forecast results for the duration of the forecast periods.

The forecasts, including the assumptions on which they are based and the financial information from which they are prepared, are the responsibility of the directors. The forecasts must be read in conjunction with the independent reporting accountants’ assurance report which is presented in Annexure 9.

As the transaction constitutes a disposal by Synergy of its entire portfolio of property, with the effective acquisition of an entirely new portfolio of properties through the acquisition of the Vukile portfolio and the Cumulative equity, the forecasts represent both a forecast in respect of the assets being acquired pursuant to the transaction and a forecast in respect of Synergy post-implementation of the transaction.

The forecasts have been prepared in compliance with IFRS and in accordance with Synergy’s accounting policies.

100.0 100.0

Notes and assumptions:

The forecasts incorporate the following material assumptions in respect of revenue and expenses that can be influenced by the directors:

1. The forecasts for the six months ending 30 September 2016 and year ending 30 September 2017 are based on information derived from the property manager and historic information.

2. Synergy will not acquire or dispose of any properties during the forecast periods other than acquisitions and disposals contemplated as part of the transaction.

3. Contracted revenue is based on existing lease agreements including stipulated increases, all of which are valid and enforceable. Contractual rental income amounts to 93.1% plus 0.6% short-term rental revenue and 74.3% plus 1.9% short-term rental revenue of rental income and recoveries for the six months ending 30 September 2016 and the year ending 30 September 2017 respectively. Short-term rental income relates to contracted rental revenue where the period specified in the legally binding agreement, excluding automatic renewals, is for a period of less than 18 months.

4. Turnover rental (rental income based on the actual turnover of the tenant) has not been included in the forecast.

Page 90: Synergy Income Fund Limited · 1 CORPORATE INFORMATION Registered office of Synergy Synergy Income Fund Limited (Registration number 2007/032604/06) One-on …

88

5. Current vacant space has been forecast on a property-by-property basis and has been assumed to remain vacant for the duration of the forecast period unless a tenant has been identified and a legally binding agreement is being finalised or a warranty/guarantee has been agreed in respect of such premises, in which case the rental income has been included as uncontracted rental income comprising 0.3% and 2.3% of rental income for the six months ending 30 September 2016 and the year ending 30 September 2017 respectively.

6. Leases expiring during the forecast periods have been forecast on a lease-by-lease basis, and have been assumed to renew at current market rates unless the lessee has indicated its intention to terminate the lease. This comprises near-contracted rental income and amounts to 6.0% and 21.6% of rental income for the six months ending 30 September 2016 and the year ending 30 September 2017 respectively.

7. Property operating expenditure has been forecast on a line-by-line basis for each property based on management’s review of historic expenditure and discussion with the property manager.

8. No fair value adjustments to investment properties, other than the adjustment as a result of straight-line rental accrual have been provided for.

9. A gain on bargain purchase has been recognised in respect of the Cumulative acquisition for the year ended 30 September 2017 as the resultant difference between the fair value of the acquisition, being R2.056 billion and the Cumulative consideration shares as determined by the Cumulative consideration share issue price.

10. The effective date of the transaction is 1 October 2016, with all property transfers being implemented from the implementation date.

The forecasts incorporate the following material assumptions in respect of revenue and expenses that cannot be influenced by the directors:

11. There will be no unforeseen economic factors that will affect the lessees’ abilities to meet their commitments in terms of existing lease agreements.

12. Consumption based recoveries are consistent with the independent property valuers’ property income statements.

13. The only item of expenditure forecast to increase by greater than 15% is electricity.

14. Material items of expenditure are in respect of rates and taxes and municipal expenses.

Annexure 9

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ LIMITED ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE FORECAST STATEMENTS OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME IN RESPECT OF SYNERGY

The board of directorsSynergy Income Fund LimitedOne-on-NinthCorner Glenhove Road and Ninth StreetMelrose Estate2196

16 September 2016

Dear Sirs

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE FORECAST STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME OF SYNERGY INCOME FUND LIMITED (“SYNERGY”)

Report on the identified property forecast information

We have undertaken a reasonable assurance engagement in respect of the accompanying property forecast of Synergy for the years ending 30 September 2016 and 30 September 2017 set out in Annexure 8 of the Synergy circular to be issued on or about 23 September 2016 (“the circular”), comprising the forecast statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and the vacancy and lease expiry profile of the property portfolio as a whole during the forecast periods(“the forecast information”), as required by paragraph 13.15 of the JSE Limited (“JSE”) Listings Requirements.

We have also undertaken a limited assurance engagement in respect of the directors’ assumptions used to prepare and present the forecast information, disclosed in Annexure 8 of the circular to the forecast information, as required by paragraph 13.15 of the JSE Listings Requirements.

Directors’ responsibility for the forecast information and for the assumptions used to prepare the forecast information

The directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the forecast information and for the reasonableness of the assumptions used to prepare the forecast information as set out in the notes to Annexure 8 of the circular to the forecast information in accordance with paragraphs 13.12 – 13.14 of the JSE Listings Requirements (JSE Listings Requirements for forecast information). This responsibility includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and presentation of the forecast information on the basis of those assumptions that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Inherent limitations

Actual results are likely to be different from the forecast information since anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected and the variation may be material. Consequently, readers are cautioned that this forecast may not be appropriate for purposes other than described in the purpose of the report paragraph below.

Our independence and quality control

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Professional Conduct for Registered Auditors issued by the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors (IRBA Code), which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour. The IRBA Code is consistent with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (Part A and B).

The firm applies International Standard on Quality Control 1 and, accordingly, maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Limited assurance engagement on the reasonableness of the directors’ assumptions

Reporting accountant’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a limited assurance conclusion on whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the assumptions do not provide a reasonable basis for the preparation and presentation of the forecast information in accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements for forecast information, based on the procedures we have performed and the evidence we have obtained. We conducted our limited assurance engagement in accordance with International Standard

Page 92: Synergy Income Fund Limited · 1 CORPORATE INFORMATION Registered office of Synergy Synergy Income Fund Limited (Registration number 2007/032604/06) One-on …

90

on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3400, The Examination of Prospective Financial Information (ISAE 3400), issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. That standard requires that we plan and perform this engagement to obtain limited assurance about whether the directors’ assumptions provide a reasonable basis for the preparation and presentation of the forecast information.

A limited assurance engagement undertaken in accordance with ISAE 3400 involves assessing the source and reliability of the evidence supporting the directors’ assumptions. Sufficient appropriate evidence supporting such assumptions would be obtained from internal and external sources including consideration of the assumptions in the light of historical information and an evaluation of whether they are based on plans that are within the entity’s capacity. A limited assurance engagement is substantially less in scope than a reasonable assurance engagement in relation to both the risk assessment procedures, including an understanding of internal control, and the procedures performed in response to the assessed risks.

The procedures we performed were based on our professional judgement and included inquiries, observations of processes performed, inspection of documents, analytical procedures, evaluating the reasonableness of best-estimate assumptions and agreeing or reconciling with underlying records.

Our procedures included evaluating the directors’ best-estimate assumptions on which the forecast information is based for reasonableness.

The procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature from, and are less in extent than for, a reasonable assurance engagement. As a result, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been obtained had we performed a reasonable assurance engagement. Accordingly, we do not express a reasonable assurance opinion about whether the directors’ assumptions provide a reasonable basis for the preparation and presentation of the forecast information.

Limited assurance conclusion on the reasonableness of the directors’ assumptions

Based on the procedures we have performed and evidence we have obtained, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the directors’ assumptions do not provide a reasonable basis for the preparation and presentation of the forecast information for the years ending 30 September 2016 and 30 September 2017.

Reasonable assurance engagement on the forecast information

Reporting accountant’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion based on the evidence we have obtained about whether the forecast information is properly prepared and presented on the basis of the directors’ assumptions disclosed in the notes to the forecast information (the assumptions) and in accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements for forecast information. We conducted our reasonable assurance engagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3400, The Examination of Prospective Financial Information (ISAE 3400), issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. That standard requires that we plan and perform this engagement to obtain reasonable assurance about whether such forecast information is properly prepared and presented on the basis of the directors’ assumptions disclosed in the notes to the forecast information and in accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements for forecast information.

A reasonable assurance engagement in accordance with ISAE 3400 involves performing procedures to obtain evidence that the forecast information is properly prepared and presented on the basis of the assumptions and in accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements for forecast information. The nature, timing and extent of procedures selected depend on the reporting accountant’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, of the forecast information. In making those risk assessments, we considered internal control relevant to Synergy’s preparation and presentation of the forecast information.

Our procedures included:

• inspecting whether the forecast information is properly prepared on the basis of the assumptions;

• inspecting whether the forecast information is properly presented and all material assumptions are adequately disclosed, including a clear indication as to whether they are best-estimate assumptions; and

• inspecting whether the forecast statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income is prepared on a consistent basis with the historical financial statements, using appropriate accounting policies.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion on the forecast information

In our opinion, the forecast information is properly prepared and presented on the basis of the assumptions and in accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements for forecast information for the years ending 30 September 2016 and the 30 September 2017.

Purpose of the report

This report has been prepared for the purpose of satisfying the requirements of paragraph 13.15 of the JSE Listings Requirements and for no other purpose.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

In accordance with our responsibilities set out in the JSE Listings Requirements, paragraph 13.15(b), we have performed the procedures set out therein. If, based on the procedures performed, we detect any exceptions; we are required to report those exceptions. We have nothing to report in this regard.

3. Represents the disposal of the entire Synergy retail portfolio, with a fair value as at 31 July 2016 of R2.475 billion as reported on by the independent property valuer’s report’s contained in Annexures 2 and 3, which further details are set out in Annexure 5.

5. Represents the adjustment for the Cumulative acquisition, with a net asset value of R2.056 billion, comprises of a property portfolio with fair value of R1.893 billion at 31 July 2016, as determined by the independent property valuer which details are set out in Annexure 4 and loans receivable in respect of executive loans. The Cumulative acquisition was settled via the Cumulative consideration shares as determined by the Cumulative consideration share issue price, with the difference between the net asset value received and purchase consideration being recognised in reserves.

7. Transaction costs amounting to R12.4 million have been capitalised to stated capital.

8. The net asset value per Synergy A share has been calculated based on the 60-day volume weighted average trading price at 31 March 2016 limited to the combined net asset value in accordance with the provisions of Synergy’s Memorandum of Incorporation.

9. The effective date of the disposal to Vukile, acquisition of Vukile portfolio and VAM are all assumed to be 1 October 2016.

10. Save for the adjustments set out above, there are no other material events requiring adjustments to the pro forma statement of financial position.

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE COMPILATION OF THE PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF SYNERGY

The Board of DirectorsSynergy Income Fund LimitedOne-on-NinthCorner Glenhove Road and Ninth StreetMelrose Estate2196 16 September 2016

Dear Sirs

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE COMPILATION OF THE  PRO  FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF SYNERGY INCOME FUND LIMITED (“SYNERGY” OR “THE COMPANY”)

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of pro forma financial information of Synergy by the directors. The pro forma financial information, in Annexure 10 of the circular, consists of the pro forma statement of financial position and related notes. The pro forma financial information has been compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria specified in the JSE Limited (“JSE”) Listings Requirements.

The pro forma financial information has been compiled by the directors to illustrate the impact of the corporate action or event, described in Annexure 10, on the company’s financial position as at 31 March 2016 as if the corporate action or event had taken place at 31 March 2016. As part of this process, information about the company’s financial position has been extracted by the directors from the company’s financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Pro Forma Financial Information

The directors are responsible for compiling the pro forma financial information on the basis of the applicable criteria specified in the JSE Listings Requirements and described in Annexure 10 and as described in the notes to the consolidated pro forma statement of financial position.

Our Independence and quality Control

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirement of the Code of Ethics for Profession Accountants issued by the international Ethics Standards Board for Accountants, which is founded on fundamental principle of integrity, objectively, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour.

The firm applies International Standard on Quality Control 1 and accordingly maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Reporting Accountants’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion about whether the pro forma financial information has been compiled, in all material respects, by the directors on the basis specified in the JSE Listings Requirements based on our procedures performed. We conducted our engagement in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (“ISAE”) 3420: Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus. This standard requires that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform our procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the pro forma financial information has been compiled, in all material respects, on the basis specified in the JSE Listings Requirements.

For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial information.

As the purpose of pro forma financial information included in a prospectus is solely to illustrate the impact of a significant corporate action or event on unadjusted financial information of the entity as if the corporate action or event had occurred or had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the event or transaction would have been as presented.

Page 98: Synergy Income Fund Limited · 1 CORPORATE INFORMATION Registered office of Synergy Synergy Income Fund Limited (Registration number 2007/032604/06) One-on …

96

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the pro forma financial information has been compiled, in all material respects, on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used in the compilation of the pro forma financial information provides a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the corporate action or event, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:

• the related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and

• the pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.

Our procedures selected depend on our judgment, having regard to our understanding of the nature of the company, the corporate action or event in respect of which the pro forma financial information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.

Our engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the pro forma financial information.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the pro forma financial information has been compiled, in all material respects, on the basis of the applicable criteria specified by the JSE Listings Requirements and described in Annexure 10.

Consent

This report on the pro forma statement of financial position is included solely for the information of the Synergy shareholders. We consent to the inclusion of our report on the pro forma statement of financial position and the references thereto, in the form and context in which they appear.

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ REVIEW REPORT ON THE VALUE AND EXISTENCE OF THE CUMULATIVE AND VUKILE PORTFOLIOS

The Board of DirectorsSynergy Income Fund LimitedOne-on-NinthCorner Glenhove Road and Ninth StreetMelrose Estate2196 16 September 2016

Dear Sirs

REVIEW CONCLUSION ON THE VALUATION AND EXISTENCE OF THE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES ACQUIRED BY SYNERGY INCOME FUND LIMITED (“SYNERGY”)

Introduction

We have reviewed the assets and liabilities acquired by Synergy reflected in the “Acquisition of Vukile portfolio” and the “acquisition of Cumulative portfolio” adjustment columns (“the adjustment columns”) of the pro forma statement of financial position included in Annexure 10 of the circular to be issued on or about 23 September 2016 (“the circular”) as required by paragraph 13.16(e) of the JSE Limited (“JSE”) Listings Requirements.

Directors’ responsibility for the pro forma statement of financial position

The directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the financial information in accordance with paragraph 13.16 (a)-(d) of the JSE Listing Requirements (the JSE Listings Requirements for the adjustment columns of the pro forma statement of financial position), as set out in Note 4 and 5 of the pro forma statement of financial position, and for such internal controls as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Independent reviewers’ responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the financial information. We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2400 (Revised), Engagements to Review Historical Financial Statements (ISRE 2400 (Revised). ISRE 2400 (Revised) requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the financial information, taken as a whole, is not prepared in all material respects in accordance with JSE Listings Requirements for the adjustment columns of the pro forma statement of financial position. This Standard also requires us to comply with relevant ethical requirements.

A review of financial information in accordance with ISRE 2400 (Revised) is a limited assurance engagement. The reporting accountant performs procedures, primarily consisting of making inquiries of management and others within the entity, as appropriate, and applying analytical procedures, and evaluates the evidence obtained.

The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on this financial information.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements for the adjustment columns of the pro forma statement of financial position, as set out in Note 4 and 5 to the pro forma statement of financial position.

Purpose of the report

This report has been prepared for the purpose of satisfying the requirement of paragraph 13.16(e) of the JSE Limited Listing Requirements, and for no other purpose.

NOTES TO THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the year ended 31 March 2016

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1 Presentation of financial statements

The annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Reporting Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council, the JSE Listings Requirements, and the Companies Act of South Africa, 2008, as amended. The audited annual financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for investment properties and derivative financial instruments which are measured at fair value, and incorporate the principal accounting policies set out below.

Page 105: Synergy Income Fund Limited · 1 CORPORATE INFORMATION Registered office of Synergy Synergy Income Fund Limited (Registration number 2007/032604/06) One-on …

103

Except for the new amendments adopted as set out below, all accounting policies applied by Synergy in the preparation of these financial statements are consistent with those applied by Synergy as at and for the period ended 31 March 2015. Synergy has adopted the following new standards:

• Amendments to IAS 40, relating to investment properties• Amendments to IFRS 2, relating to share-based payments• Amendments to IFRS 3, relating to business combinations• Amendments to IFRS 8, relating to operating segments• Amendments to IFRS 10, relating to consolidated financial statements• Amendments to IFRS 13, relating to fair value measurement• Amendments to IAS 16, relating to property, plant and equipment• Amendments to IAS 19, relating to employee benefits• Amendments to IAS 24, relating to related party disclosures• Amendments to IAS 38, relating to intangible assets• The above amendments did not have a material impact on Synergy’s financial statements presented.

1.2 Significant judgements and sources of estimation uncertainty

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts represented in the financial statements and related disclosures. Use of available information and the application of judgement are inherent in the formation of estimates. Actual results in the future could differ from these estimates which may be material to the financial statements. Significant judgements include:

Tenant arrears

Synergy assesses its tenant arrears for impairment at the end of each reporting period. In determining whether an impairment loss should be recorded in profit or loss, Synergy considers the security held, historic experience with similar tenants, the period the amount is overdue and knowledge of the tenant’s circumstances.

Taxation

Judgement is required in determining the provision for income taxes due to the complexity of legislation. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Synergy recognises liabilities for anticipated tax issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

As Synergy has obtained REIT status effective 1 July 2013, it is not liable for capital gains tax on the disposal of directly held properties and local REIT securities. In addition, deferred tax is not recognised on the straight-line rental income accrual as the rental income accrual forms part of Synergy’s dividends. Given the REIT status, such dividends are fully deductible for tax purposes and hence no tax liability arises on rental income accruals.

Valuation of investment properties

Investment properties are held to earn investment income. Investment properties are treated as long-term investments and are carried at market value, determined annually. Principal to this valuation is the determination of the discount rate, capitalisation rate and long-term vacancy rate applicable to the investment property.

Changes in market conditions may result in capitalisation rates being revised and the fair value of investment properties adjusting significantly.

Initial recognition of investment properties

Investment properties were acquired as standalone assets for investment purposes. The inputs and processes required to produce outputs, and therefore an integrated set of activities are provided by Synergy’s property and asset manager, VAM. Accordingly, the acquisitions of investment properties do not constitute a business for Synergy.

An assessment is made with each acquisition of investment property as to whether the specific property meets the definition of a business and accordingly whether the initial recognition thereof should be in terms of IFRS 3: Business Combinations or alternatively IAS 40: Investment Properties.

1.3 Investment property

Investment property is recognised as an asset when, and only when, it is probable that the future economic benefits that are associated with the investment property will flow to the enterprise, and the cost of the investment property can be measured reliably.

Investment property is initially recognised at cost. Transaction costs are included in the initial measurement. Costs include costs incurred initially and costs incurred subsequently to add to, or to replace a part of a property. If a replacement part is recognised in the carrying amount of the investment property, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. Tenant installation costs are capitalised to investment property.

Subsequent to initial measurement, investment property is measured at fair value. A gain or loss arising from a change in fair value is included in net profit or loss for the period in which it arises. Fair market value is the open-market value, which, in the opinion of the directors, is the fair market price at which the property would have been sold unconditionally on a willing buyer/willing seller basis for a cash consideration on the date of the valuation. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment properties are recognised in net profit or loss for the period in which they arise. Such gains or losses are transferred to a non-distributable reserve in the statement of changes in equity and excluded from the calculation of distributable earnings.

Letting commissions are capitalised and amortised over the lease period. The carrying value of letting commissions is included in investment property.

All properties are valued by the directors of Synergy. External, independent valuation companies, having appropriate recognised professional qualifications and recent experience in the location and category of property being valued, values in excess of one-third of Synergy’s investment property portfolio every year (in line with JSE requirements). Any differences between the external valuations and the directors’ valuations are reported in the notes to the annual financial statements. The valuations are done on an open-market basis with consideration to the estimated cash flows expected to be received from renting out the property and an appropriate discount and capitalisation rate that reflects the specific risks inherent in the net cash flows per property. The fair values are based on market values, being the estimated amount for which the property could be exchanged in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.

Valuations reflect, when appropriate, the type of tenants actually in occupation or responsible for meeting lease commitments or likely to be in occupation after letting vacant occupation, and the market’s general perception of their creditworthiness, the allocation of maintenance and insurance responsibilities between Synergy and the lessee, and the remaining economic life of the property.

1.4 Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are capitalised to the extent that they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. Capitalisation of borrowing costs commences when the activities necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use are in progress and expenditures and borrowing costs are being incurred. Capitalisation of borrowing costs continues until the assets are substantially ready for their intended use. The capitalisation rate is arrived at by reference to the actual rate payable on borrowings for development purposes, net of any investment income earned on the temporary investment of those borrowings, or, with regard to that part of development cost financed out of general funds, the weighted average cost of borrowings. No borrowing costs have been capitalised during the year.

1.5 Financial instruments

Classification

Synergy classifies financial assets and financial liabilities into the following categories:

Loans and receivables

Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost

Derivative financial instruments.

Classification depends on the purpose for which the financial instruments were obtained or incurred and takes place at initial recognition. Classification is reassessed on an annual basis, except for derivatives and financial assets designated as at fair value through profit or loss, which shall not be classified out of the fair value through profit or loss category.

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial instruments are recognised initially when Synergy becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Page 107: Synergy Income Fund Limited · 1 CORPORATE INFORMATION Registered office of Synergy Synergy Income Fund Limited (Registration number 2007/032604/06) One-on …

105

Synergy classifies financial instruments, or their component parts, on initial recognition as a financial asset, a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement.

For financial instruments which are not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs are included in the initial measurement of the instrument.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investment have expired or have been transferred and Synergy has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

Synergy derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired.

Impairment of financial assets

At each reporting date Synergy assesses all financial assets, other than those at fair value through profit or loss, to determine whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets have been impaired.

For amounts due to Synergy, significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy and default of payments are all considered indicators of impairment.

Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses are reversed when an increase in the financial asset’s recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to the restriction that the carrying amount of the financial asset at the date that the impairment is reversed shall not exceed what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

Reversals of impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss except for equity instruments classified as available for sale.

Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are measured at initial recognition at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts are recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments (more than 30 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The allowance recognised is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition.

The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account, and the amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss within operating expenses. When a trade receivable is uncollectable, it is written off against the allowance account for trade receivables. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against operating expenses in profit or loss.

Trade and other receivables are classified as loans and receivables.

Trade and other payables

Trade payables are initially measured at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss except for derivatives designated as hedging instruments in cash flow hedge relationships, which require a specific accounting treatment. Synergy does not hold or use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. To qualify for hedge accounting, the hedging relationship must meet several strict conditions with respect to documentation, probability of occurrence of the hedged transaction and hedge effectiveness.

For the reporting periods under review, Synergy has designated certain interest rate swap contracts as hedging instruments in cash flow hedge relationships. These arrangements have been entered into to mitigate interest rate risk arising from Synergy’s borrowings incurred.

All derivative financial instruments used for hedge accounting are recognised initially at fair value and reported subsequently at fair value in the statement of financial position.

To the extent that the hedge is effective, changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as hedging instruments in cash flow hedges are recognised in other comprehensive income and included within the cash flow hedge reserve in equity. Any ineffectiveness in the hedge relationship is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Page 108: Synergy Income Fund Limited · 1 CORPORATE INFORMATION Registered office of Synergy Synergy Income Fund Limited (Registration number 2007/032604/06) One-on …

106

At the time the hedged item affects profit or loss, any gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and presented as a reclassification adjustment within other comprehensive income. However, if a non-financial asset or liability is recognised as a result of the hedged transaction, the gains and losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income are included in the initial measurement of the hedged item.

If a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, any related gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income is transferred immediately to profit or loss. If the hedging relationship ceases to meet the effectiveness conditions, hedge accounting is discontinued and the related gain or loss is held in the equity reserve until the forecast transaction occurs.

Other non-derivative financial instruments

Other non-derivative financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Other non-derivative financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These are initially measured at fair value and subsequently recorded at amortised cost.

Bank overdraft and other financial liabilities

Bank overdrafts and other financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the settlement or redemption of borrowings is recognised over the term of the borrowings in accordance with Synergy’s accounting policy for borrowing costs.

Offset

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position when Synergy has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts, and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

1.6 Tax

Current tax assets and liabilities

Current tax for current and prior periods is, to the extent unpaid, recognised as a liability. If the amount already paid in respect of current and prior periods exceeds the amount due for those periods, the excess is recognised as an asset.

Current tax liabilities (assets) for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be paid to (recovered from) the tax authorities, using the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities

A deferred tax liability is recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except to the extent that the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit/loss.

A deferred tax asset is recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilised. A deferred tax asset is not recognised when it arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit/loss.

A deferred tax asset is recognised for the carry forward of unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses can be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Tax expenses

Current and deferred taxes are recognised as income or an expense and included in profit or loss for the period, except to the extent that the tax arises from:

• a transaction or event which is recognised, in the same or a different period, to other comprehensive income, or• a business combination.

Page 109: Synergy Income Fund Limited · 1 CORPORATE INFORMATION Registered office of Synergy Synergy Income Fund Limited (Registration number 2007/032604/06) One-on …

107

Current tax and deferred taxes are charged or credited to other comprehensive income if the tax relates to items that are credited or charged, in the same or a different period, to other comprehensive income.

Current tax and deferred taxes are charged or credited directly to equity if the tax relates to items that are credited or charged, in the same or a different period, directly in equity.

1.7 Impairment of assets

Synergy assesses at each reporting date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, Synergy estimates the recoverable amount of the asset.

An impairment loss of assets carried at cost less any accumulated depreciation or amortisation is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Synergy assesses at each reporting date whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognised in prior periods for assets other than goodwill may no longer exist or may have decreased. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amounts of those assets are estimated.

The carrying amount of an asset, other than goodwill, attributable to a reversal of an impairment loss shall be increased to the recoverable amount, provided that such recoverable amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior periods.

A reversal of an impairment loss of assets carried at cost less accumulated depreciation or amortisation other than goodwill is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Any reversal of an impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation increase.

1.8 Stated capital and equity

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

1.9 Revenue

Revenue includes operating lease rental income and recovery of expenses from investment properties excluding value added tax. Rental income under operating leases is recognised in profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the rental income over the lease period. Interest is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest rate method.

1.10 Segmental reporting

Synergy identifies and presents operating segments based on the information that is provided internally to the board via its asset manager. The board reviews the performance of its investment properties held by Synergy on an individual basis. Synergy’s directors have approved the operating segments reflected in the financial statements presented.

The measurement policies Synergy uses for segment reporting under IFRS 8 are the same as those used in its financial statements, except that the following item is not included in arriving at operating profit of the operating segments:

• Administration costs.

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Synergy has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:

• Credit risk• Liquidity risk• Market risk.

This note represents information about Synergy’s exposure to each of the above risks, Synergy’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and its management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these financial statements.

The board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of Synergy’s risk management framework. The board has delegated the responsibility for developing and monitoring Synergy’s risk management policies to the executive directors. The executive directors report to the board of directors on their activities. Synergy’s audit and risk committee oversees how the executive directors monitor compliance with Synergy’s risk management policies and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by Synergy.

Page 110: Synergy Income Fund Limited · 1 CORPORATE INFORMATION Registered office of Synergy Synergy Income Fund Limited (Registration number 2007/032604/06) One-on …

108

Synergy’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and procedures are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and Synergy’s activities.

2.1 Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to Synergy if a tenant or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from Synergy’s trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents.

Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables relate mainly to Synergy’s tenants and deposits with municipalities.

Synergy’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each tenant. Synergy’s widespread tenant base and high national tenant ratio reduces credit risk.

Management has established a credit policy under which each new tenant is analysed individually for creditworthiness before Synergy’s standard payment terms and conditions are offered which include, in the majority of cases, the provision of a deposit of at least one month’s rental. When available, Synergy’s review includes external ratings.

Investments, cash and cash equivalents

Synergy limits its exposure to credit risk by only placing funds with reputable financial institutions for investing and cash handling purposes.

2.2 Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that Synergy will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. Synergy’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it always has sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to its reputation.

Synergy monitors cash flow requirements taking account of rentals receivable on a monthly basis. Typically Synergy ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses, including the servicing of financial obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters. In addition Synergy has negotiated certain lines of credit with financial institutions, refer note 8.

2.3 Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates, will affect Synergy’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

Interest rate risk

Synergy is mainly exposed to interest rate risk and adopts a policy of ensuring that an appropriate amount of its exposure to changes in interest rates on borrowings is on a fixed rate basis. This is achieved by entering into interest rate swaps as hedges of the variability in cash flows attributable to interest rate risk. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the board of directors.

Currency risk

Synergy has no exposure to currency risk.

2.4 Fair values

A number of Synergy’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

Trade and other receivables

The fair value of trade and other receivables is estimated at present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date.

Page 111: Synergy Income Fund Limited · 1 CORPORATE INFORMATION Registered office of Synergy Synergy Income Fund Limited (Registration number 2007/032604/06) One-on …

109

Derivatives

The fair value of interest rate swaps is based on broker quotes. This is the estimated amount that Synergy would receive or pay to terminate the swap at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates and the current creditworthiness of the counterparties.

Non-derivative financial liabilities

Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date.

2.5 Fair value measurement of non-financial assets (investment properties)

Synergy’s property portfolio has been valued at R2.442 billion as at 31 March 2016 (2015: R2.422 billion).The portfolio was valued by the directors. In total seven of the 15 investment properties (47% of the portfolio by number, and 58% by portfolio value), were also independently valued at 31 March 2016 by Knight Frank (Pty) Ltd (Knight Frank) and Quadrant Properties (Pty) Ltd (Quadrant) (professional valuers registered with the South African Institute of Valuers) with consideration to the future earnings potential and an appropriate discount and capitalisation rate for each property to evaluate the directors’ valuations.

The external valuations performed by Knight Frank and Quadrant are in line with the directors’ valuations of the same properties.

The fair value measurement for investment property of R2.442 billion (2015: R2.422 billion) has been categorised as a recurring level 3 fair value in terms of the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs to the valuation technique used. The fair value of all investment property determined is supported by market evidence.

All properties are valued under the discounted cash flow (DCF) method, which capitalises the estimated rental income stream, net of projected operating costs, using a discount rate derived from market yields. The estimated rental stream takes into account current occupancy levels, estimates of future vacancy levels, the terms of in-place leases and expectations of rentals from future leases over the remaining economic life of the buildings.

Under the DCF method, the property’s fair value is estimated using explicit assumptions about the benefits and liabilities of ownership over the asset’s life including the exit or terminal value.

The most significant inputs, all of which are unobservable, are the estimated rental value, assumptions regarding vacancy levels, the discount rate and the reversionary capitalisation rate. The estimated fair value increases if the estimated rental increases, vacancy levels decline or if discount rate (market yields) and reversionary capitalisation rate decline. The overall valuations are sensitive to all four assumptions. Management considers the range of reasonable possible alternative assumptions is greatest for reversionary capitalisation rate rental values and vacancy levels and that there is also an interrelationship between these inputs.

The following table reflects the levels within the hierarchy of non-financial assets measured at fair value at 31 March 2016:

2016Level 3

2015Level 3

R000

2014Level 3

R000

Investment properties 2 441 574 2 421 900 2 422 100

The range of discount rates and reversionary capitalisation rates applied to the portfolio are between 13.3% and 16.3% (2015: 13.2% and 14.9%), and between 8.3% and 11.6% (2015: 8.2% and 9.9%) respectively, depending on the risk profile of each portfolio asset.

Sensitivity analysis

The effect on the fair value of the portfolio of a 1% increase in the discount rate would result in a decrease in the fair value of R251.9 million (10.3%) (2015: R256.5 million (11.8%) the average discount rate on the portfolio would increase from 14.0% to 15.0% (2015: 13.7% to 14.7%) and the average exit capitalisation rate would increase from 9.4% to 10.4% (2015: 8.8% to 9.8%) due to the interlinked nature of the rates.

The effect on the fair value of the portfolio of a 1% increase in the long-term vacancy rate would result in a decrease in the fair value of R29.2 million (1.2%) (2015: R45 million (1.9%)). The analysis has been prepared on the assumption that all other variables remain constant.

The sensitivity information presented above represents a 12-month period ended 31 March 2016, compared to prior period information, representing a nine-month period ended 31 March 2015.

18.4 Fair value measurement

18.4.1 Grouping

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are grouped into three levels of a fair value hierarchy. The three levels are defined based on the observability of significant inputs to the measurement, as follows:

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly

Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

18.4.2 Fair value hierarchy

The following table presents financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position in accordance with the fair value hierarchy.

The level within which the financial asset or liability is classified is determined based on the lowest level of significant input to the fair value measured.

The financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are grouped into the fair value hierarchy as follows:

2016 (R000) 2015 (R000)Level 1 Level 2 Total Level 1 Level 2 Total

AssetsDerivative financial instruments – 763 763 – – –

Total – 763 763 – – –LiabilitiesDerivative financial instruments – (938) (938) – (1 008) (1 008)

Total – (938) (938) – (1 008) (1 008)

Net fair value – (175) (175) – (1 008) (1 008)

There have been no significant transfers between levels 1 and 2 in the reporting period under review. There were no transfers into or out of level 3 in the reporting period under review.

Measurement of fair value

The methods and valuation techniques used for the purpose of measuring fair value are unchanged compared to the previous reporting period.

Derivative financial instruments

The fair values of these swap contracts are determined by Nedbank Limited and Standard Bank of South Africa Limited, using valuation techniques that maximise the use of observable market inputs. Derivatives entered into by Synergy are included in level 2 and consist of interest rate swap contracts.

Page 132: Synergy Income Fund Limited · 1 CORPORATE INFORMATION Registered office of Synergy Synergy Income Fund Limited (Registration number 2007/032604/06) One-on …

130

18.4.3 Financial instruments by category

Synergy uses widely recognised valuation models for determining the fair value of common and more simple financial instruments, like interest rate swaps that use only observable market data and require little management judgement and estimation. Observable prices and model inputs are usually available in the market for listed debt and equity instruments, exchange traded derivatives and simple over-the-counter derivatives like interest rate swaps. Availability of observable market prices and model inputs reduces the need for management judgement and estimation and also reduces the uncertainty associated with determination of fair values.

Note 1.5 of Synergy’s accounting policies provides a description of each category of financial assets and financial liabilities and related accounting policies. The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities in each category are as follows:

Management assesses Synergy’s capital requirements in order to maintain an efficient overall financing structure which avoids excessive leverage. Synergy manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure Synergy may issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.The board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base comprising its shareholders’ interest so as to maintain investor creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. It is Synergy’s stated purpose to deliver long-term sustainable growth in dividends per share.There were no changes in the approach to capital management during the year. The company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. Synergy has complied with its bank and corporate bond covenants.

21. INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS AND AMENDMENTS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE

At the date of approval of these annual financial statements, certain new accounting standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been published but are not yet effective, and have not been adopted early by the entity. Management anticipates that all of the pronouncements will be adopted in the entity’s accounting policies for the first period beginning after the effective date of the pronouncement. Information on new standards, amendments and interpretations that are expected to be relevant to Synergy’s financial statements is provided below. Certain other new standards and interpretations have been issued but are not expected to have a material impact on Synergy’s annual financial statements.

Synergy has chosen not to early adopt the following standards and interpretations which have been published and are mandatory for its accounting periods beginning on or after the dates shown:

Standard Details of amendmentsAnnual periods on/or

beginning after

IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations Annual improvements 2012 to 2014 cycle: Amends IFRS 5 to clarify that when an entity reclassifies an asset (or disposal group) directly from being held for sale to being held for distribution (or vice versa), the accounting guidance in paragraphs 27 to 29 of IFRS 5 does not apply. The amendments also state that when an entity determines that the asset (or disposal group) is no longer available for immediate distribution or that the distribution is no longer highly probable, it should cease held-for-distribution accounting and apply the guidance in paragraphs 27 to 29.

Standard Details of amendmentsAnnual periods on/or

beginning after

IFRS 7 Financial Instruments:Disclosures Annual improvements 2012 to 2014 Cycle: The amendments provide additional guidance to help entities identify the circumstances under which a servicing contract is considered to be ‘continuing involvement’ for the purposes of applying the disclosure requirements in paragraphs 42E – 42H of IFRS 7. Such circumstances commonly arise when, for example, the servicing fee is dependent on the amount or turning of the cash flows collected from the transferred financial asset or when a fixed fee is not paid in full due to non-performance of that asset.

1 July 2016

Annual improvements 2012 to 2014 Cycle: These amendments clarify that the additional disclosure required by the recent amendments to IFRS 7 Disclosure – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities is not specifically required for all interim periods. However, the additional disclosure is required to be given in condensed interim financial statements that are prepared in accordance with lAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting when its inclusion would be necessary in order to meet the general principles of lAS 34.

SPECIAL RESOLUTION 1: ISSUE OF SHARES IN TERMS OF THE VAM INTERNALISATION

“Resolved in terms of section 41(1)(b) of the Companies Act that the issue of the VAM consideration shares to Vukile pursuant to the implementation of the VAM internalisation agreement, be and is hereby authorised.”

In order for special resolution 1 to be adopted, the support of at least 75% of the voting rights exercised on the resolution by shareholders, present in person or by proxy at the general meeting, is required. Only shareholders reflected on the register as such on the voting record date are entitled to vote on special resolution 1.

Reason and effect

The issue of the VAM consideration shares to Vukile, in terms of the VAM internalisation, constitutes the issue of shares to a person related or inter-related to Synergy, as contemplated in section 41(1)(b), read with section 2, of the Companies Act. Accordingly, such issue of shares is required to be approved by a special resolution of Synergy shareholders. The effect of special resolution 1 will be that Synergy is authorised to issue the VAM consideration shares to Vukile as contemplated in the VAM internalisation agreement.

SPECIAL RESOLUTION 2: APPROVAL OF THE DISPOSAL OF ALL OR THE GREATER PART OF SYNERGY’S ASSETS IN TERMS OF SECTIONS 112 AND 115 OF THE COMPANIES ACT

As required in terms of Takeover Regulation 110 read with Takeover Regulation 90, the independent board has appointed the independent expert to provide a report on fairness and reasonableness of the transaction, which incorporates the Vukile asset exchange, insofar as Synergy shareholders are concerned. The independent expert has concluded that the transaction is fair and reasonable, and their report in this regard is set out in Annexure 1 of the circular.

Shareholders are advised that, notwithstanding the approval of special resolution 2, they may be entitled to seek relief in terms of section 115 of the Companies Act in certain circumstances. In addition, shareholders are advised that they are entitled to seek relief in terms of section 164 of the Companies Act in relation to the Vukile asset exchange. Complete extracts of sections 115 and 164 of the Companies Act are included as an Appendix to Annexure 1 of the circular.

Reason and effect

The exchange by Synergy of the Synergy portfolio for the Vukile portfolio, in terms of the Vukile asset exchange, constitutes the disposal of all or the greater part of Synergy’s assets, as contemplated in section 112 of the Companies Act. Accordingly, in terms of section 115 of the Companies Act, the Vukile asset exchange is required to be approved by a special resolution of Synergy shareholders. The effect of special resolution 2 will be that Synergy is authorised to dispose of the Synergy portfolio as contemplated in the Vukile asset exchange agreement.

SPECIAL RESOLUTION 3: REVOCATION OF SPECIAL RESOLUTION 2 IN THE EVENT OF THE VUKILE ASSET EXCHANGE LAPSING

“Resolved that, subject to and in the event that (i) special resolution 2 has been passed; and (ii) any dissenting shareholder has sent a demand to Synergy in terms of sections 164(5) to (8) of the Companies Act to be paid the fair value of its shares and (iii) Synergy announces that the Vukile asset exchange agreement has lapsed for any reason and will not be further pursued except in terms of a new approval from Synergy shareholders, special resolution 2 is revoked with effect from the date of the said announcement in (ii), as contemplated in section 164(9)(c) of the Companies Act, and accordingly any such dissenting shareholder shall have no rights to be so paid under section 164 of the Companies Act in that the Vukile asset exchange did not and shall not become effective.”

In order for special resolution 3 to be adopted, the support of at least 75% of the voting rights exercised on the resolution by shareholders, present in person or by proxy at the general meeting, is required. Only shareholders reflected on the register as such on the voting record date are entitled to vote on special resolution 3.

Reason for and effect

The reason and effect of special resolution 3 is to remove the rights to payment of dissenting shareholders if the Vukile asset exchange is terminated. Special resolution 3 shall become effective only if: (i) special resolution 2 is approved at the meeting in terms of the Companies Act and it is announced that the Vukile asset exchange agreement has lapsed or been terminated.

SPECIAL RESOLUTION 4: ISSUE OF SHARES IN TERMS OF THE CUMULATIVE ACQUISITION

“Resolved in terms of section 41(3) of the Companies Act that the issue of the Cumulative consideration shares to the Cumulative shareholders pursuant to the implementation of the Cumulative acquisition agreement, be and is hereby authorised.”

Only shareholders reflected on the register as such on the voting record date are entitled to vote on special resolution 4.

Reason and effect

The voting rights associated with the Cumulative consideration shares will equal 60.6% of the total voting rights associated with the issued shares as at the implementation date. Accordingly, the issue of the Cumulative consideration shares to Arrowhead, in terms of the Cumulative acquisition, is required to be approved by a special resolution of Synergy shareholders in terms of section 41(3) of the Companies Act. The effect of special resolution 4 will be that Synergy is authorised to issue the Cumulative consideration shares to Arrowhead as contemplated in the Cumulative acquisition agreement.

SPECIAL RESOLUTION 5: CHANGE OF NAME

“Resolved in terms of clause 7.5 of the MoI and section 16 of the Companies Act that the name of the company be and is hereby changed from “Synergy Property Fund Limited” to “Gemgrow Properties Limited” on and with effect from the implementation date.”

The person whose name stands first on the form of proxy and who is present at the general meeting will be entitled to act as proxy to the exclusion of those whose names follow.

7. The completion and lodging of this form of proxy will not preclude the relevant shareholder from attending the general meeting and speaking and voting in person thereat to the exclusion of any proxy appointed, should such shareholder wish to do so. In addition to the aforegoing, a shareholder may revoke the proxy appointment by:

7.1 cancelling it in writing, or making a later inconsistent appointment of a proxy; and

7.2 delivering a copy of the revocation instrument to the proxy, and to Synergy.

8. The revocation of a proxy appointment constitutes a complete and final cancellation of the proxy’s authority to act on behalf of the shareholder as of the later of the date:

8.1 stated in the revocation instrument, if any; or

8.2 upon which the revocation instrument is delivered to the proxy and Synergy as required in section 58(4)(c)(ii) of the Companies Act.

9. Should the instrument appointing a proxy or proxies have been delivered to the transfer secretaries, as long as that appointment remains in effect, any notice that is required by the Companies Act or the MoI to be delivered by the company to the shareholder must be delivered to:

9.1 the shareholder; or

9.2 the proxy or proxies if the shareholder has in writing directed Synergy to do so and has paid any reasonable fee charged by Synergy for doing so.

10. A proxy is entitled to exercise, or abstain from exercising, any voting right of the relevant shareholder without direction, except to the extent that the existing MoI or the instrument appointing the proxy provide otherwise.

11. If Synergy issues an invitation to shareholders to appoint one or more persons named by Synergy as a proxy, or supplies a form of instrument appointing a proxy:

11.1 such invitation must be sent to every shareholder who is entitled to receive notice of the meeting at which the proxy is intended to be exercised;

11.2 Synergy must not require that the proxy appointment be made irrevocable; and

11.3 the proxy appointment remains valid only until the end of the relevant meeting at which it was intended to be used, unless revoked as contemplated in section 58(5) of the Companies Act.

12. Any alteration or correction made to this form of proxy must be initialled by the signatory/ies. A deletion of any printed matter and the completion of any blank space(s) need not be signed or initialled.

13. Documentary evidence establishing the authority of a person signing this form of proxy in a representative capacity must be attached to this form unless previously recorded by the transfer secretaries or waived by the chairman of the general meeting.

14. A minor must be assisted by his/her parent/guardian unless the relevant documents establishing his/her legal capacity are produced or have been registered by the transfer secretaries.

15. A company holding shares in Synergy that wishes to attend and participate at the general meeting should ensure that a resolution authorising a representative to act is passed by its directors. Resolutions authorising representatives in terms of section 57(5) of the Companies Act must be lodged with the transfer secretaries prior to the general meeting.

16. Where there are joint holders of shares any one of such persons may vote at any meeting in respect of such shares as if he were solely entitled thereto; but if more than one of such joint holders wishes to be present or represented at the general meeting, that one of the said persons whose name appears first in the register of such shares or his proxy, as the case may be, shall alone be entitled to vote in respect thereof.

17. The chairman of the general meeting may reject or accept any proxy which is completed and/or received other than in accordance with the instructions, provided that he shall not accept a proxy unless he is satisfied as to the matter in which a shareholder wishes to vote.

18. A proxy may not delegate his/her authority to act on behalf of the shareholder, to another person.

19. A shareholder’s instruction to the proxy must be indicated by the insertion of the relevant number of shares to be voted on behalf of that shareholder in the appropriate space provided. Failure to comply with the above will be deemed to authorise the chairperson of the general meeting, if the chairperson is the authorised proxy, to vote in favour of the resolutions at the general meeting or other proxy to vote or to abstain from voting at the general meeting as he/she deems fit, in respect of the shares concerned. A shareholder or the proxy is not obliged to use all of the votes exercisable by the shareholder or the proxy, but the total of votes cast in respect whereof abstention is recorded may not exceed the total of the votes exercisable by the shareholder or the proxy.

20. Forms of proxy are requested to be deposited at the transfer secretaries, Link Market Services South Africa Proprietary Limited, 13th Floor, Rennie House, 19 Ameshoff Street, Braamfontein, 2001, posted to PO Box 4844, Johannesburg, 2000, faxed to 086 674 2450 or emailed to [email protected] so as to arrive no later than 10:00 on Friday, 21 October 2016. Forms of proxy not lodged with the transfer secretaries in time may be handed to the chairman of the general meeting immediately before the commencement of the general meeting. Any shareholder who completes and lodges a form of proxy will nevertheless be entitled to attend, speak and vote in person at the general meeting should the shareholder decide to do so.

21. This form of proxy may be used at any adjournment or postponement of the general meeting, including any postponement due to a lack of quorum, unless withdrawn by the shareholder.

22. The aforegoing notes include a summary of the relevant provisions of section 58 of the Companies Act, as required in terms of that section.
