RESULTS OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF GROWTHPOINT PROPERTIES LIMITED (THE “AGM”) AND CHANGES TO THE BOARD

     
 Growthpoint’s AGM was held on 12 November 2019. All resolutions proposed at the AGM were
      decided on a poll. The results of the poll on each resolution dealt with are reflected in the table
      below.

      On the record date for the AGM (1 November 2019) Growthpoint had 2,970,981,288 ordinary
      shares in issue and 2,946,611,046 shares (excluding Treasury Shares) were eligible for voting.

      During the year, Growthpoint had engaged extensively with shareholders on both remuneration
      and general AGM matters. This positive engagement is evident in the outcome of the voting at the
      AGM and we would like to thank shareholders for their time and valuable guidance.
