NOTICE OF SCHEME MEETING OF THE APEXHI "C" DEBENTURE HOLDERS
1. Under authority of an Order of the South Gauteng High Court
(Johannesburg) ("the Court") issued in the above matter on Tuesday, 10
March 2009, this notice serves to convene a meeting ("the debenture
holders` scheme meeting") of the "C" linked unitholders of the Applicant
in their capacity as creditors of the Applicant in respect of the "C"
debentures in the Applicant held by them (other than Redefine Income Fund
Limited ( "the proposer")) who are recorded in the register of the
Applicant as such at 17:00 on Wednesday, 1 April 2009 ("the scheme
members").
2. The debenture holders` scheme meeting will be held at 14:30 (or ten
minutes after the conclusion of the scheme meeting of the "C" linked
unitholders of the Applicant in their capacity as shareholders of the
Applicant, in respect of the "C" ordinary shares in the Applicant held by
them, whichever is the later) on Friday, 3 April 2009, at 2 Arnold Road,
Rosebank, Johannesburg, 2196. Mr Kevin John Trudgeon (or failing him, Mr
Gareth Walter Driver) has been appointed by the Court as Chairman of the
debenture holders` scheme meeting and the Chairman`s address is c/o
Werksmans Inc., 155 - 5th Street, Sandown, Sandton, Johannesburg, 2196,
Gauteng (Private Bag 10015, Sandton, 2146).
3. The purpose of the debenture holders` scheme meeting is to consider and,
if deemed fit, agree (with or without modification agreed to between the
proposer and the Applicant) to the scheme of arrangement ("the scheme")
proposed by the proposer between the Applicant and the scheme members in
their capacity as creditors of the Applicant in respect of the "C"
debentures in the Applicant held by them. The object of the scheme is
that, subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions precedent which are
stated in paragraph 5.2 of the scheme of arrangement contained in the
circular to the Applicant`s "C" linked unitholders dated 12 March 2009
("the circular"), the proposer will acquire all of the "C" linked units
in the Applicant that it does not already own from the Applicant`s "C"
linked unitholders (other than the proposer) who are recorded in the
register as such on the scheme consideration record date (as referred to
in the circular and which is expected to be Friday, 3 July 2009) ("the
scheme participants"). In terms of the scheme, the scheme participants
will receive 104 linked units in the proposer for every 100 "C" linked
units in the Applicant held on the scheme consideration record date
(rounded up or down to the nearest whole number according to the rounding
principle).
4. Copies of the scheme, the Explanatory Statement in terms of sections
312(1)(a)(i) and 312(2) of the Companies Act, 1973 (Act 61 of 1973) ("the

sections 312 (1)(a)(ii) and 312(2) of the Act, the Statement of the
interests of the directors and trustees of the Applicant`s debenture
trust in terms of sections 312(1)(a)(iii) and 312(2) of the Act, the
Additional Information required by the JSE Limited and Securities

Street, Sandown, Sandton, Johannesburg (Private Bag 10015, Sandton, 2146)

5. Each scheme member who holds certificated "C" linked units in the
Applicant ("certificated scheme member") or who holds dematerialised "C"
linked units in the Applicant through a Central Securities Depository
Participant ("CSDP") and has "own name" registration ("dematerialised own
name scheme member"), may attend, speak and vote in person at the
debenture holders` scheme meeting or any postponed or adjourned debenture
holders` scheme meeting, or may appoint one or more proxies (who need not
be "C" linked unitholders of the Applicant) to attend, speak and vote at
the debenture holders` scheme meeting in the place of such certificated
scheme member or dematerialised own name scheme member. A form of proxy
(white) for this purpose, for completion by certificated scheme members
and dematerialised own name scheme members only, is included in the
circular, which was posted to the "C" linked unitholders of the Applicant
at their addresses as recorded in the register of certificated "C" linked
unitholders and the sub-register of holders of dematerialised "C" linked
units of the Applicant with "own name" registration as at the close of
business on the date being not more than five business days before the
date of such posting. If more than one person is appointed on a single
form of proxy, then only one of those proxies (in order of appointment)
will be entitled to exercise that proxy. In the case of joint
certificated scheme members and joint dematerialised own name scheme
members, the vote of the senior certificated scheme member or senior
dematerialised own name scheme member (seniority will be determined by
the order in which the names of the joint certificated scheme members or
joint dematerialised own name scheme members appear in the Applicant`s
register or sub-register, as the case may be, of "C" linked unitholders)
who tenders a vote (whether in person or by proxy) will be accepted to
the exclusion of the vote/s of the other joint certificated scheme
member/s or joint dematerialised own name scheme member/s.
6. Properly completed forms of proxy (white) must be lodged with or posted
to the transfer secretaries of the Applicant, Link Market Services South
Africa (Proprietary) Limited, 5th Floor, 11 Diagonal Street,
Johannesburg, 2001 (PO Box 4844, Johannesburg, 2000) to be received by
them by no later than 14:30 on Wednesday, 1 April 2009, or on the
business day immediately preceding any postponed or adjourned debenture
holders` scheme meeting, or handed to the Chairman of the debenture
holders` scheme meeting no later than ten minutes before the debenture
holders` scheme meeting or any postponed or adjourned debenture holders`
scheme meeting is due to commence or recommence. Notwithstanding the
aforegoing, the Chairman of the debenture holders` scheme meeting may
approve in his discretion the use of any other form of proxy.
7. Each person who holds a beneficial interest in dematerialised "C" linked
units in the Applicant and who does not have "own name" registration
("dematerialised scheme member") may attend, speak and vote in person at
the debenture holders` scheme meeting or any postponed or adjourned
debenture holders` scheme meeting only if such dematerialised scheme
member informs his/her CSDP, banker or broker timeously of his/her
intention to attend and vote at the debenture holders` scheme meeting or
any postponed or adjourned debenture holders` scheme meeting or be
represented by proxy thereat in order for his/her CSDP, banker or broker
to issue him/her with the necessary letter of representation to do so.
Should any dematerialised scheme member not wish to attend the debenture
holders` scheme meeting or any postponed or adjourned debenture holders`
scheme meeting in person, such dematerialised scheme member should
timeously provide his/her CSDP, banker or broker with his/her voting
instructions in order for his/her CSDP, banker or broker to vote in
accordance with his/her instruction at the debenture holders` scheme
meeting or any postponed or adjourned debenture holders` scheme meeting.
The CSDP, banker or broker will then provide the transfer secretaries of
the Applicant with a proxy form (white) in respect of such individual
dematerialised scheme members` instruction.
8. The Order of Court convening the debenture holders` scheme meeting
requires the Chairman to report on the debenture holders` scheme meeting

Applicant`s registered office referred to in paragraph 4.
