Notes
The above dates and times are subject to change. Any changes will be released on RNS and SENS.
Share certificates may not be dematerialised or rematerialised, between Wednesday, 11 July 2018 and
Friday, 13 July 2018, nor may transfers of shares between sub-registers in the United Kingdom and South
Africa take place between Friday, 8 June 2018 and Friday, 13 July 2018, both days inclusive
The Final Dividend has been declared in Euro and Shareholders on the UK Register who wish to receive
their entitlement to the Final Dividend fully in cash in Euro need take no further action, unless they have
previously made a valid Sterling currency election (in which case they will need to revoke this election).
Shareholders on the UK Share Register may, however, elect to receive their entitlement to the Final
Dividend fully in cash in Sterling. Shareholders that elect to receive part of their entitlement in New Shares
will receive any balance of their entitlement in cash in Sterling. Shareholders on the South African Share
Register (SA Share Register) will receive any entitlement to the cash dividend in Rand.
As set out in the Scrip Dividend Alternative Circular, Sirius Real Estate today announces the posting of the
Scrip Dividend Alternative Circular and accompanying forms, as well as the Scrip Dividend Reference Prices
and the Euro to Rand Conversion Rate and the Euro to Sterling Conversion Rate for the purposes set out
in the Scrip Dividend Alternative Circular.
The Scrip Dividend Reference Prices are as follows:
Shareholders on the UK Share Register: £0.64994 (Sterling)
Shareholders on the SA Share Register: R11.01770 (Rand)
The Euro to Sterling Conversion Rate and the Final Dividend authorised in Sterling (UK Share Register
only)
Shareholders on the UK Share Register may elect to receive their entitlement to the Final Dividend fully
in cash in either Euro or Sterling. For Shareholders on the UK Share Register that make a valid Sterling
currency election, the conversion rate for the purposes of calculating the Final Dividend authorised in
connection with the year ended 31 March 2018 payable to Shareholders on the UK Share Register will be
0.87873 GBP to 1 Euro.
On this basis, Shareholders on the UK Share Register who have elected to receive their entitlement to the
Final Dividend fully in cash in Sterling will receive a gross dividend of £0.01406 (Sterling) per Ordinary
Share.
Alternatively Shareholders on the UK Share Register may elect to receive New Shares by way of the Scrip
Dividend Alternative.
The Euro to Rand Conversion Rate and the Final Dividend authorised in Rand (SA Share Register only)
The conversion rate for the purposes of calculating the Final Dividend authorised in connection with the
year ended 31 March 2018 payable to Shareholders on the SA Share Register will be 15.05 Rand to 1 Euro.
On this basis, Shareholders on the SA Share Register will receive a gross dividend of R0.24080 (Rand) per
Ordinary Share, which they may take in cash or in New Shares by electing to do so by way of the Scrip
Dividend Alternative.
The number of New Shares which Shareholders electing to take the Scrip Dividend Alternative will receive
are as follows:
Shareholders on the UK Share Register: 1 New Share for every 46.22723 Ordinary Shares held
Shareholders on the SA Share Register: 1 New Share for every 45.75457 Ordinary Shares held
Information for Shareholders on the SA Share Register
In accordance with the Listings Requirements of the JSE, the Company confirms that the net cash dividend
received by SA Shareholders who are not exempt from dividend withholding tax of 20%, is expected to be
R0.19264 (Rand) per Ordinary Share. The Company had 991,904,506 Ordinary Shares in issue (comprising
574,892 shares held in treasury and 991,329,614 shares with voting rights) on Monday, 4 June 2018 the
authorisation date of the dividend. The Company is incorporated in Guernsey with Company number
46442 and its tax registration number in Guernsey is 1EC.956 and its UK tax number is GB 203993015.
Receipt of the cash dividend is likely to be regarded as a foreign dividend in the hands of South African tax
resident shareholders.
As set out in the Scrip Circular, South African tax resident shareholders who have elected to receive the
dividend in scrip form should not be subject to income tax on receipt of New Shares or dividend
withholding tax. Receipt of New Shares should not be regarded as a foreign dividend in the hands of South
African tax resident shareholders.
The above should not be construed as tax advice and shareholders are advised to seek their own tax advice
from an independent tax adviser regarding the tax consequences of electing to receive New Shares or a
full cash dividend or should they be in any doubt as to the appropriate election to be made.

Background to Sirius Real Estate:
Sirius is a property company listed on the Main Market and premium segment of the London Stock
Exchange and the Main Board of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. It is a leading operator of branded
business parks, providing conventional space and flexible workspace in Germany. The Company's core
strategy is the acquisition of industrial and office business parks at attractive yields, the integration of
these business parks into its network of sites under the Company's own name as well as offering a range
of branded products within those sites, and the reconfiguration and upgrade of existing and vacant
space to appeal to the local market through intensive asset management and investment. The
Company's strategy aims to deliver attractive returns for shareholders by increasing rental income and
improving cost recoveries and capital values, as well as by enhancing those returns through financing its
assets on favourable terms. Once sites are mature and net income and values have been optimised, the
Company may take the opportunity to refinance the sites to release capital for investment in new sites
or consider the disposal of sites in order to recycle equity into assets which present greater opportunity
for the asset management skills of the Company's team.
