Proposed disposal of Chambers of Change

DELTA PROPERTY FUND LIMITED
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)
(Registration number 2002/005129/06)
JSE share code: DLT
ISIN: ZAE000194049
(Approved as a REIT by the JSE)
("Delta" or the "Company")


PROPOSED DISPOSAL OF CHAMBERS OF CHANGE


1.    Introduction

      Delta shareholders are hereby advised that the Company (the "Seller") has entered into a sale of letting enterprise
      agreement (the "Agreement") with Suki Properties Close Corporation (the "Purchaser"), to dispose of the
      property situated at 62-72 Pritchard Street, Johannesburg, including immovable and movable assets, and as more
      commonly known as "Chambers of Change" (the "Property"), for a cash consideration of R25.0 million (the
      "Disposal Consideration") (the "Disposal").

2.    Rationale and use of proceeds

      As part of the Company's business and portfolio optimisation strategy, it was decided to dispose of assets which
      are no longer strategic to the Company and are deemed to be "non-core". In keeping with this strategy, the
      Company has taken a decision to dispose of the Property given its "non-core" status. The net proceeds from the
      Disposal will be utilised by the Company to reduce its debt balance.

3.    Terms and conditions of the Disposal

      3.1   Purchaser

            The ultimate beneficial owner of the Purchaser is Rael Suckerman. The Purchaser is not a 'related party'
            as defined in the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited ("JSE").

      3.2   Effective date

            The Disposal will become effective on the date on which the registration of transfer of the Property into
            the name of the Purchaser is effected, which date the Company anticipates will be approximately
            30 September 2025 (the "Transfer Date").

      3.3   Disposal Consideration

            The Disposal Consideration is R25 million exclusive of VAT, payable in cash, as follows:

            -    a non-refundable deposit of R1.25 million upon signature of the Agreement, and

            -    R23.75 million secured by way of guarantees, acceptable to the Seller, which guarantees shall be
                 expressed as payable on the Transfer Date. The guarantees are to be delivered within forty five
                 business days from the date of signature of the Agreement (the "Signature Date").

            Failure by the Purchaser to pay the non-refundable deposit timeously will render the Agreement void, in
            which case the Disposal will not proceed. Should the Agreement become void, the Purchaser will still be
            required to pay the non-refundable deposit to the Seller.

      3.4   Conditions precedent

            The Disposal is subject to fulfilment of the following condition precedent:

            -    within 120 calendar days after the Signature Date, the Seller has complied with the JSE Listings
                 Requirements (insofar as this may be applicable), and obtained such consents and approvals as may
                 be required; and
            -    within 120 days after the Signature Date, any requisite regulatory approvals for the implementation
                 of the Disposal having been obtained from the Competition Authorities (if applicable).

      3.5   Representations and warranties

            The Agreement contains representations and warranties by the parties in favour of one another which are
            standard for transactions of this nature.
