the tenant for carrying out tenant installations at the premises;
- on expiry of the lease agreements, CPA will return the properties in the same condition as at 1 July 2023,
subject to fair wear and tear; and
- CPA may terminate the lease agreements should the asset management agreement between CPA and
Octodec be terminated.
3. Small related party transaction
CPA and Octodec are related parties due to the fact that Jeffrey Wapnick and Sharon Wapnick are directors of
Octodec and City Property and members of the Wapnick family are material shareholders of both companies.
In terms of section 10 of the JSE Listings Requirements, the signature of the lease agreements constitutes a
small related party transaction. Accordingly, BDO Corporate Finance Inc., an independent expert acceptable to
the JSE, has been appointed to provide a fairness opinion in this regard.
A further announcement will be published on the finalisation of the independent expert's fairness opinion in
respect of the lease agreements.
