NOTICE TO REDEFINE INTERNATIONAL SHAREHOLDERS IN RESPECT OF AN ELECTION
TO RECEIVE EITHER A CASH DIVIDEND OR A SCRIP DIVIDEND


CASH DIVIDEND OR SCRIP DIVIDEND

Shareholders were advised today Wednesday, 30 April 2014 that the board of directors (the “board”) of the Company has
declared an interim dividend of 1.50 pence per share (the “dividend”) in respect of the six months ended 28 February
2014 and that the board intends offering to shareholders the election to receive a scrip dividend by way of an issue of new
Redefine International shares (of the same class as existing shares) credited as fully paid up (“scrip dividend”) or a cash
dividend (“cash dividend”). The dividend will be paid as follows:

    -   If taken in cash, the cash dividend will comprise a property income distribution (“PID”) element of 0.43 pence
        per share and a non-PID element of 1.07 pence per share. The PID will be subject to a deduction of a 20 per cent
        UK withholding tax unless exemptions apply. The non-PID element will be treated as an ordinary UK dividend,
        with no withholding tax deducted.

    -   Shareholders who make an election to receive shares will receive shares based on the full 1.50 pence being paid
        as a non-PID. As a non-PID, this will be treated as an ordinary UK company dividend, with no withholding tax
        deducted.

A cash dividend will be paid to shareholders unless shareholders elect to receive the scrip dividend. Should a shareholder
elect to receive the scrip dividend, such shareholder will become entitled to a number of new Redefine International
shares, the value of which will be as near as possible to the cash dividend which they would have otherwise received. A
shareholder’s entitlement to new Redefine International shares will be calculated by multiplying the number of shares
held by that shareholder at the record date by the gross dividend per share of 1.50 pence and dividing it by the scrip
dividend reference price which will be calculated as follows:

    -   for Redefine International shares traded on the LSE, the average of the middle market quotations of a Redefine
        International share derived from the daily Official List for the last five dealing days prior to the announcement of
        the Pound Sterling to Rand conversion rate, less the amount of the dividend per Redefine International share; and

    -   for Redefine International shares traded on the JSE, the average of the middle market quotations of a Redefine
        International share as provided by the JSE for the last five dealing days on the JSE prior to the announcement of
        the Pound Sterling to Rand conversion rate, less the amount of the dividend per Redefine International share as
        converted into Rand at the exchange rate.

    -
Where UK withholding tax has to be accounted for, the calculation will be by reference to the gross amount of the
dividend per share less the current applicable withholding tax rate of 20 per cent.

The rationale for the scrip dividend is to afford shareholders the opportunity to increase their shareholding in Redefine
International and to retain flexibility with regard to the Company’s cash resources.

The cash dividend will be paid out of the Company’s distributable profits.

As at the date of this announcement, the Company had 1 270 328 654 ordinary shares of 8 pence each in issue.
A circular to Redefine International shareholders in respect of the election being offered to Redefine International
shareholders to receive either the cash dividend or the scrip dividend, together with an election form, has been posted to
shareholders on Wednesday, 30 April 2014 (the “circular”) and is available on the Company’s website at
www.redefineinternational.com. Terms defined in the circular shall bear the same meaning in this announcement.
