BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Dipula is an internally managed, South African-focused REIT that owns a portfolio of retail, office,
industrial and residential property assets throughout South Africa, with the majority of the portfolio located
in Gauteng. Dipula's strategy is to own a defensive portfolio with a bias towards convenience, rural and
township retail centres. The portfolio has yielded a solid performance since listing. The company focuses
on specific market segments and continuously repositions the portfolio to adapt to changing market dynamics.
CAPITAL RESTRUCTURE
On 7 April 2022, Dipula shareholders voted in favour of the repurchase of all Dipula A-shares in
consideration for the issue of 2.4 Dipula B-shares for every Dipula A-share by way of a scheme of
arrangement (the "scheme"). The scheme was implemented on 6 June 2022 and resulted in Dipula's issued
share capital at 31 August 2022 now consisting of 895 747 744 ordinary shares compared to 264 665 819
Dipula A-shares and 264 665 819 Dipula B-shares in issue in 2021. The figures reported for this period may
therefore not be comparable to prior reporting periods.

Dipula has declared 100% of its distributable earnings as dividends. The board has approved, and notice
is hereby given of a final gross dividend (dividend number 21) for the period 1 March 2022 to 31 August 2022
