FIRM INTENTION TO MAKE AN OFFER TO UNITHOLDERS OF HYPROP INVESTMENTS LIMITED
("HYPROP")
INTRODUCTION
Redefine unitholders are referred to the previous announcements in relation to:
- the proposed acquisition by Redefine (which currently holds 55 323 970
Hyprop units)of a further 19 686 558 Hyprop units from Coronation Asset
Management (Pty) Ltd at a price of R50 per Hyprop unit (the "acquisition");
and
- the mandatory offer (the "mandatory offer") to Hyprop unitholders that will
be triggered as a result of the increase in Redefine`s interest in Hyprop
from 33.3% to 45.2% pursuant to the implementation of the acquisition,
(collectively, the "transactions") .
As announced on 28 July 2010 the transactions remain conditional on Redefine
unitholder approval. In this regard a circular in relation to the transactions
has been dispatched to Redefine unitholders convening a general meeting of
unitholders for Thursday, 12 August 2010 to consider and, if deemed fit, approve
the implementation of the transactions ("Redefine unitholder approval").
Although the mandatory offer is only triggered on the implementation of the
acquisition Redefine has elected to anticipate its obligations under the SRP
Code by making an offer (the "offer") to Hyprop unitholders that is conditional
upon Redefine unitholder approval and has addressed a letter to the board of
Hyprop to this effect.
