This information is provided for clarity and education only and should be read together with the full investor documentation.

Section 1: The Opportunity & Strategy

1. What are the 27four offerings on Mesh?

The 27four offerings on Mesh allow qualified investors (eligible investors as defined in the investor documents) to participate directly in institution-grade private commercial property equity through tokenised structures. The current opportunities are:

• Van Rijn Meent (VRM) is a mixed-use precinct in Stellenbosch anchored by blue-chip tenants and diversified income streams.
• Dorpstraat Property Investments (DPI) is a curated national portfolio of convenience retail centres focused on daily-needs tenants and disciplined development.

Both are offered via private placement and are therefore only available to qualified investors who meet eligibility criteria and minimum investment requirements.

2. What is Van Rijn Meent (VRM)?

Van Rijn Meent is a mixed-use precinct development in Stellenbosch that combines:

• Office space (with high pre-let levels to blue-chip tenants)
• Daily-needs retail anchored by household brands
• An aparthotel catering to tourism, short-stay and student demand

The precinct benefits from strong local demand, limited supply, and growth drivers that include Western Cape “semigration” trends and the resilient Stellenbosch economy.

3. What is Dorpstraat Property Investments (DPI)?

Dorpstraat Property Investments is a diversified portfolio of 17 “daily-needs” convenience retail centres located in affluent, high-growth nodes. The strategy focuses on:

• Stable and defensive cash flows from essential retail tenants
• Lower risk development aligned with disciplined pre-lets
• A mix of existing trading centres and targeted pipeline projects

By investing in DPI, you gain equity exposure to a portfolio built around daily consumer demand rather than discretionary spend categories.

4. Why tokenise these assets on Mesh?

Tokenisation on Mesh enables:

• Direct ownership of equity in private commercial property developments, previously accessible only to institutions
• Transparent reporting, digital documentation, and smart-contract-enabled administration
• Potential secondary market liquidity, meaning some investors may trade portions of their holdings before traditional exit events. Liquidity is not guaranteed and is dependent on platform rules, eligibility requirements, and there being willing buyers/sellers

Mesh simplifies participation in private markets while maintaining institution-grade governance and reporting.

Section 2: Eligibility & Participation

5. Who can invest, and what are the minimum requirements?

These offerings are currently structured as private placements and are therefore only available to qualified investors who meet the eligibility criteria outlined in the investor documents.

6. How do I participate?

To participate in these private property placements on Mesh:

1. Create and verify your Mesh account
2. Confirm your eligibility as a qualified investor
3. Review and sign the investor documentation
4. Place an order on the Mesh platform

Participation is not guaranteed, and each potential investor is subject to the eligibility criteria contained in the investor documents, as well as a successful onboarding journey.

Section 3: Structure & Ownership

7. How does token ownership relate to ownership of the underlying shares?

Each Ordinary Share in the Company is represented on the Mesh platform by a corresponding digital token. The token serves as a digital record of ownership and a mechanism to facilitate administration and potential transfers of shares via the Mesh platform.

Importantly, the token itself is not a separate security and does not create additional rights. All economic and governance rights, including voting rights, dividend entitlements, and rights on liquidation, attach to the underlying Ordinary Share and are governed by the Company’s constitutional documents, shareholder agreements, and applicable law. Ownership of the token is therefore intended to mirror ownership of the corresponding share.

Mesh acts as a technology platform and transfer agent, maintaining records of token balances and reconciling them to the Company’s share register. The Company remains the legal issuer of the shares and retains responsibility for ensuring that tokens in circulation correspond to issued shares.

This is a general description of how tokenisation may work on Mesh; refer to the investor documents for the specific instrument. Nothing here is an invitation to invest.

8. If I acquire a token, will I be recognised as a legal shareholder of these 27four assets?

In tokenised share structures, legal ownership depends on being recorded in the issuer’s securities/share register.

Section 4: Risk & Governance

9. What are the key risks?

Private market investments can be illiquid and may not have guaranteed secondary market access. Returns are not guaranteed and may be affected by market conditions. Investors should consult their own financial, legal, tax, and/or other professional advisors and review full documentation before investing.

All risks and eligibility requirements are detailed in the offer’s investor documentation.

10. Who will oversee the investment on behalf of shareholders?

27four Investment Managers will be responsible for overseeing and managing the SPV on behalf of shareholders. This includes responsibility for strategic oversight, financial management, performance monitoring, and governance, with the objective of protecting shareholder interests and maximising risk-adjusted returns over the life of the investment.

27four will also coordinate with key service providers, monitor the underlying asset and funding arrangements, and ensure ongoing reporting and transparency to investors.

11. How are 27four’s interests aligned with those of shareholders?

27four, together with related parties, has an equity interest in the investment, ensuring meaningful capital at risk alongside external shareholders. As a result, 27four participates in returns on the same basis as investors, benefiting from value creation and bearing downside risk.

In addition, 27four’s remuneration is structured to be linked to the long-term performance of the investment rather than short-term transactional outcomes. This incentivises disciplined capital allocation, prudent risk management, and a focus on sustainable net asset value growth.

Collectively, this alignment ensures that 27four’s decisions are guided by the same objectives as shareholders: capital preservation, risk-adjusted returns, and long-term value creation.
