Acquisition of City Park, Constanta

INTRODUCTION

Shareholders are advised that, on 17 December 2013, NEPI through its subsidiaries NEPI Four Real Estate Solutions
S.R.L. and NEPI Bucharest Two S.R.L. (collectively, “the Purchasers”), concluded an agreement to acquire all the
issued shares in and the shareholder’s claims against Everest Investitii Si Consultanta S.A. (“EIC” or “the Project
Company”) from Triad Trading B.V. and to repay all the outstanding debt of EIC (“the Transaction”).
The Project Company owns a shopping mall of 29 284 square metre of retail GLA situated in Constanta, Romania,
known as City Park (“the Property”).

RATIONALE FOR THE TRANSACTION

City Park is well located on a busy intersection close to the Constanta city centre and a short distance from Mamaia,
the most popular sea-side resort in Romania. The Constanta metropolitan area has approximately 425,000 residents
whilst Mamaia attracts large numbers of visitors from elsewhere to the area each summer holiday. City Park contains a
wide range of international fashion brands such as Bershka, Koton, LC Waikiki, Mango, Marks and Spencer, Orsay,
Oysho, Pull&Bear, Stradivarius and Zara. Other tenants include a Cora supermarket, several international fast food
brands such as KFC, McDonalds and Pizza Hut and various other international and national tenants. City Park
benefits from substantial additional approved building rights which NEPI intends to use for the development of a
fashion and leisure extension.

SALIENT TERMS OF THE TRANSACTION

The aggregate purchase price for all the issued shares in and shareholder’s claims against the Project Company,
including the outstanding debt is approximately EUR81 million, which was settled in cash. The Transaction was
funded partly from the proceeds of the accelerated book build announced on 28 November 2013, in terms of which
9 020 844 new NEPI shares were placed at ZAR77 per share raising approximately ZAR695 million (approximately
EUR50 million) (“the Book build”), with the balance of the purchase price being funded from NEPI’s existing cash
resources.
Although the Transaction was completed on 17 December 2013, the effective date is 31 October 2013 (“Effective
Date”).
The purchase agreement for the Transaction contains warranties typical for acquisitions of this nature.
The change of the management of the Property is subject to the approval of Competition Council in Romania.

DETAILS OF THE PROPERTY

The details of the Property, including the valuation, effective as at 17 December 2013, attributed to the Property by
NEPI, are as follows:

* The purchase price reflects the price for the acquisition of the issued shares in and shareholder’s claims against EIC and settlement of debt, as noted above, whilst the valuation amount reflects the value attributed to the Property by the Company.
** The difference between the purchase price and valuation amount is represented by the estimated deferred taxation liability.
