 COMMENTARY

Property as an asset class has bricks and mortar value therefore has real tangible value. Commercial property forms
an integral part of a sound investment strategy and is suitable for long-term investors. Commercial property also
offers stable growth and income returns coupled with a reasonable level of inflation protection. The valuations,
rentals and subsequent returns on commercial property have a low correlation to other asset classes such as fixed
income instruments, listed and private equity. This low correlation makes property an excellent diversifying asset in
a multi asset investment portfolio.

OMNIGRO is well positioned to take advantage of the above attributes by investing in commercial properties that
have the potential of unlocking additional value beyond their existing yields. Each property will be treated as a
business for which a growth strategy is developed and executed through the appropriate skill set. Our aim is to
acquire properties with portfolio average net yield of 9%.

We also aim to appoint two more directors with high ethical standards who can add value through their astute
business skills and/or knowledge of the property industry.
