In the Circular, the committee of the Globalworth board comprising independent directors (the "Independent Committee") confirmed that it continues to believe that the Offer significantly undervalues Globalworth, its assets and its prospects.

The Independent Committee refers to the statement by the Growthpoint Board that it " agrees with the Independent Committee's belief that the Offer significantly undervalues the Company, its assets and its prospects and herewith confirms that Growthpoint does not intend to accept the Offer ".

The Independent Committee values the opinion and support of Growthpoint, which holds 29.5% of the entire issued share capital of the Company.
