South African Reserve Bank Approval

On 1 December 2016, the Board of Globalworth announced ("Announcement") it had agreed with Growthpoint Properties Limited ("GRT") and certain funds and/or accounts managed by Oak Hill Advisors (Europe), LLP and its affiliates ("Oak Hill") the terms upon which GRT (through its wholly owned subsidiary Growthpoint Properties International Proprietary Limited) will conditionally subscribe for 23,300,000 and Oak Hill will conditionally subscribe for 1,700,000 Shares respectively (together the "Subscription Shares") in each case at an amount of €8 per Subscription Share to raise €200 million before expenses (the "Subscription").

The Board of Globalworth is pleased to announce that GRT has received approval from the Financial Surveillance Department of the South African Reserve Bank in relation to the investment in the Company by GRT.  This represented a principal condition to the Subscription that was dependent on third party action, the others being the requirement for Shareholder approval (in relation to which irrevocable undertakings representing approximately 75.81% of the existing issued Shares have been received to vote in favour of the Resolutions) and admission of the Subscription Shares and the first tranche of the Fee Shares to trading on AIM.  The Company currently expects all remaining conditions to be satisfied and the Subscription to become unconditional by 20 December 2016.

Terms which are not otherwise defined in this announcement have the meanings given to them in the Announcement.
