Acquisitions Update

ACQUISITIONS UPDATE

Further to the Company's previous announcements (Pipeline Acquisitions Update, released on 25 October 2019 and Acquisition of Club Med Cap Skirring Hotel in Senegal through a sale and leaseback, released on 24 July 2019), the board of Directors (the "Board") of Grit is pleased to announce today the completion of the acquisition of Club Med Cap Skirring Hotel ("Club Med") and to also provide an update on other acquisitions.

The Company is making good progress on a number of potential opportunities with existing tenants and partners, including Club Med and other high-quality multi-national companies operating across the African continent. These attractive prospective acquisitions, underpinned by predominantly US$ and Euro denominated long-term leases, will facilitate further diversification of the Company's portfolio and are each expected to be accretive, whilst delivering economies of scale benefits across the countries the Company already operates in.

The Company is continuing to explore a number of financing options to fund its attractive and accretive pipeline.

Bronwyn Corbett, Chief Executive Officer of Grit, commented:

"Concluding this first transaction with Club Med is a significant milestone and I look forward to progressing a number of the other opportunities with them across Africa, delivering real estate solutions and creating further value for Grit's shareholders and for Club Med.

I am also pleased to report that the Company's cost of debt continues to decline, helped by reductions in LIBOR. Furthermore, the Group's high-quality diversified portfolio and strong multi-national tenant base leave us confident of providing shareholders with strong and sustainable income, with the potential for income and capital growth."

COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OF CLUB MED CAP SKIRRING HOTEL IN SENEGAL

Further to the announcement on 24 July 2019, the Company, following the satisfaction and/or waiver of the conditions precedent in the sale and purchase agreement, signed the completion agreements on 27 January 2020 with Club Med SAS, which provided for the conversion of the EUR4.0 million shareholder's loan into equity and, when combined with a further pre-development expense to be incurred by Club Med SAS, increased the total acquisition from EUR15.6 million to EUR16.2 million, subject to an adjustment based on the final balance sheet and the related profit and loss accounts of Société Immobiliére et de Gestion Hôteliére du cap Skirring (as stated in the Company's announcement on 24 July 2019).

The Company has taken transfer of the shares and effective ownership of the Cap Skirring Hotel asset on 27 January 2020.

Furthermore, subject to all development and regulatory approvals being forthcoming, the Company expects to commence with the renovation and development works, which are capped at a cost of EUR28.0 million, by the end of Q1 2020.

The large-scale renovation project of the 4-trident hotel, which has traded successfully since opening in 1971, will re-position the resort in line with modern standards and provide an unrivalled offering in the Senegalese leisure market. Upon completion of the development works, the lease term is renewed in the form of a 12-year triple net Euro lease underpinned by a Club Med parent company guarantee.

COMPLETION OF ADDITIONAL CORPORATE ACCOMMODATION UNITS AT VDE HOUSING ESTATE, TETE, MOZAMBIQUE

Grit, through its subsidiary company, Delta Tete Limitada, appointed Vale Dos Embondeiros Limitada ("VDE") in the turnkey delivery of 60 additional corporate accommodation units upon the 25-hectare property owned by the company in Tete, Mozambique. The additional units further consolidate the scheme and add to the 142 corporate accommodation units which are leased on a long-term basis.

The 60 additional units have since been successfully completed and were handed over from October through December 2019, with Vale Mocambique Limitada ("Vale") taking occupation on the back of a newly executed five-year US$ lease. The development was completed on programme and within the budgeted US$13.7 million contract value.

Knight Frank's formal valuation of the additional 60 units in December 2019 has been confirmed at US$17.35 million, representing a valuation uplift over the value at 30 June 2019 of US$3.65 million (an increase of 26.6%).
