FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE ACCELERATED BOOK BUILD AND TOTAL VOTING RIGHTS

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE BOOK BUILD

Shareholders are referred to the results of the book build announcement released on 15 April 2013 in terms
of which shareholders were advised that a total of 11 290 323 new shares (“new shares”) would be issued
and listed today, 24 April 2013.

As the number of new shares issued in terms of the book build is in excess of 5% of the number of NEPI
shares in issue prior to the book build, the company is in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements, required to
publish the financial effects of the issue of the new shares.

Accordingly the table below sets out the unaudited pro forma financial effects of the book build based on
NEPI’s audited consolidated statement of income for the year ended 31 December 2012 and NEPI’s audited
consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2012. These financial effects are the
responsibility of the directors of NEPI and they have been prepared for illustrative purposes only, in order to
provide information about the financial results and the financial position of NEPI assuming that the book
build had been implemented on 1 January 2012 and 31 December 2012, respectively.

Due to their nature the unaudited pro forma financial effects may not give a fair reflection of NEPI’s
financial position, changes in equity, results of operations and cash flows subsequent to the book build. The
unaudited pro forma financial effects have not been reviewed or reported on by the independent reporting
accountants or external auditors.

The unaudited pro forma financial effects have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies of
the NEPI group that were used in the preparation of the results for the year ended 31 December 2012.

The issue price of R62.00 represents a 2.61% discount to the 30 business day volume weighted average
traded price prior to the date that the book build was agreed between NEPI and the parties subscribing for
the new shares. The proceeds of the book build will be used to fund developments and acquisitions of
further operating assets.

The table below reflects the unaudited pro forma financial effects of the book build on a NEPI shareholder:

Notes and assumptions:

1.   The figures set out in the “Before the book build” column above have been extracted from the audited
     consolidated statement of income for the year ended 31 December 2012 and the audited consolidated
     statement of financial position as at 31 December 2012.

2.   The book build is assumed to have been implemented on 1 January 2012 for basic weighted average
     earnings, diluted weighted average earnings, distributable earnings, headline earnings and diluted
     headline earnings per share purposes and on 31 December 2012 for net asset value, adjusted net asset
     value and net tangible asset value per share purposes.

3.   11 290 323 new shares are assumed to be issued pursuant to the book build, thereby raising capital of
     €59 million (R700 million).

4.   Although the proceeds of the book build are intended to be used to finance yield enhancing investment
     opportunities in direct property, there are no firm commitments at the date of this announcement to
     deploy the proceeds which will be received from the book build. Accordingly, there is no factually
     supportable financial information regarding potential investments. Consequently, it has been assumed
     that the net proceeds of the book build (after payment of estimated costs of approximately EUR0.3
     million) are held in cash and cash equivalents.

5.   Finance income of €1.5 million is assumed to be earned throughout the year ended 31 December 2012
     on the net proceeds from the book build at a rate of 3.27%, being the historical interest rate on NEPI’s
     deposits.

6.   Estimated costs relating to the book build of approximately €0.3 million have been written off against
     share premium.

7.   A EUR:ZAR exchange rate of €1.00:R11.8656 is assumed to apply.

8.   Distributable earnings are assumed to be earned evenly throughout the year ended 31 December 2012.

9.   All statement of income adjustments have a continuing effect.
                                                                                                           

TOTAL VOTING RIGHTS

The new shares issued under the book build have been admitted to trading on the JSE Limited, AIM and the
Bucharest Stock Exchange (“BVB”) today, 24 April 2013 (“admission”).

Following admission, the total issued share capital of the company will increase to 159 277 789 ordinary
shares with voting rights. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in NEPI will be 159 277 789 which
may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are
required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, NEPI under the UK Financial Services
Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
