Financial Effects of the Accelerated Book Build and Total Voting Rights
Posted on: 17 April 2014
Shareholders are referred to the results of the book build announcement released on 8 April 2014 in terms of which shareholders
were advised that a total of 13 848 743 new shares (“new shares”) would be issued and listed today, 17 April 2014.
As the number of new shares issued in terms of the book build is in excess of 5% of the number of NEPI shares in issue prior to
the book build, the company is in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements, required to publish the financial effects of the issue of
the new shares.
Accordingly, the table below sets out the unaudited pro forma financial effects of the distribution election for the six months
ended 31 December 2013 (“the distribution election”) and the book build that has been based on NEPI’s audited statement of
income for the year ended 31 December 2013 and NEPI’s audited statement of financial position as at 31 December 2013. These
financial effects are the responsibility of the directors of NEPI and they have been prepared for illustrative purposes only, in order
to provide information about the financial results and the financial position of NEPI assuming that the distribution election and the
book build had been implemented on 1 January 2013 and 31 December 2013, respectively.
Due to their nature the unaudited pro forma financial effects may not give a fair reflection of NEPI’s financial position, changes in
equity, results of operations and cash flows subsequent to the distribution election and the book build. The unaudited pro forma
financial effects have not been reviewed or reported on by the independent reporting accountants or external auditors.
The unaudited pro forma financial effects have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies of the NEPI group that
were used in the preparation of the results for the year ended 31 December 2013. The issue price of R83.50 per new share
represents a 2.1% discount to the 30 business day volume weighted average traded price prior to the date that the book build was
agreed between NEPI and the parties subscribing for the new shares. The proceeds of the book build will be used to fund future
developments and acquisitions of further operating assets.
The table below reflects the unaudited pro forma financial effects of the book build on a NEPI shareholder:

adjustment, from the audited statement of income for the year ended 31 December 2013 and the audited statement of
financial position as at 31 December 2013. - The book build and the distribution are assumed to have been implemented on 1 January 2013 for basic weighted average
earnings, diluted weighted average earnings, distributable earnings, headline earnings and diluted headline earnings per
share purposes and on 31 December 2013 for net asset value, adjusted net asset value and net tangible asset value per share
purposes. - In respect of the distribution election the following assumptions and adjustments have been made:

opportunities in direct property, there are no firm commitments at the date of this announcement to deploy the
proceeds which will be received from the book build. Accordingly, there is no factually supportable financial
information regarding potential investments. Consequently, it has been assumed that the net proceeds of the
book build (after payment of estimated costs of approximately EUR0.43 million) are held in cash and cash
equivalents; - finance income of EUR1.7 million is assumed to be earned throughout the year ended 31 December 2013 on the

Total Voting Rights

Exchange and the Bucharest Stock Exchange today, 17 April 2014 (“admission”).
Following admission, the total issued share capital of the company will increase to 223 049 658 ordinary shares with voting rights.

for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in,
NEPI.
