ANNOUNCEMENT OF DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PRICE AND CONFIRMATION OF FINALISATION
INFORMATION


Further to the announcement of the declaration of the cash dividend (“Cash Dividend”) and dividend reinvestment
alternative (“Share Alternative”) included in the Fund’s results for the year ended 31 March 2014 (“Results
Announcement”) released on SENS on Thursday, 22 May 2014 and in the press on Friday, 23 May 2014, the price
applicable to Investec Property Fund shareholders (“Shareholders”) electing the Share Alternative and recorded in
the register on Friday, 13 June 2014 (“Record Date”), is R13.70 (“Reinvestment Price”).

The Reinvestment Price is based on a 3.8% discount to the 5-day volume weighted average price of R14.24
(ex the dividend for the half year ended 31 March 2014), as at the close of business on Wednesday, 28 May 2014.

The Reinvestment Price equates to a cum price of R14.24, which is a discount of 3.6% to the 5-day volume
weighted average cum price of R14.78 and a discount of 4.4% to the closing price of R14.90 on Wednesday, 28
May 2014.

Included in the Reinvestment Price is an estimated antecedent divestiture of 22 cents per share for the period 1 April
2014 to 17 June 2014 in respect of the 2015 interim dividend period 1 April 2014 to 30 September 2014.


Dividend withholding tax (“Dividend Tax”) implications

Dividend Tax implications for South African resident Shareholders

Dividends received from a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) are exempt from Dividend Tax in the hands of
South African resident Shareholders provided that the Shareholders have provided the requisite declaration as to
residence as detailed in paragraph 5 of the circular to Shareholders dated and posted on Thursday, 22 March 2014
(“Circular”). South African resident Shareholders who have submitted the requisite documentation and are exempt
from Dividend Tax, will accordingly receive a net dividend of 57.74400 cents per share.

Dividend Tax implications for non-resident Shareholders

Dividends received from a REIT by a non-resident Shareholder will be subject to Dividend Tax at 15%, unless the
rate is reduced in terms of any applicable agreement for the avoidance of double taxation (“DTA”) between South
Africa and the country of residence of the non-resident Shareholder. A reduced dividend withholding rate in terms of
the applicable DTA may only be relied upon if the non-resident Shareholder has provided the requisite
documentation as detailed in paragraph 5 of the Circular. Non-resident Shareholders who have submitted the
requisite documentation and assuming that a Dividend Tax rate of 15% is applicable, will accordingly receive a net
dividend of 49.08240 cents per share.

The impact of Dividend Tax on shareholders has been illustrated by way of the example below:
                                                  South African resident         Non-resident

Due to the fact that the Cash Dividend or Share Alternative may have tax implications for resident and non-resident
Shareholders, Shareholders are encouraged to consult their professional advisors should they be in any doubt as to
the appropriate action to take.

Other information:
    - The dividend portion has been declared from income reserves and no secondary tax on companies' credit
      has been used.
    - A dividend withholding tax of 15% will be applicable on the dividend portion to all Shareholders who are not
      exempt.
    - The issued share capital at the finalisation date is 359,033,548 ordinary shares of no par value.


Trading of Investec Property Fund shares

As published in the Results Announcement, Shareholders electing the Share Alternative are requested to note that
the new shares will be listed on LDT + 3 and that these new shares can only be traded on LDT + 3, being
Wednesday, 11 June 2014, due to the fact that settlement of the shares will be three days after the Record Date,
which differs from the conventional one day after Record Date settlement process.

Shareholders are reminded that the last day to elect to receive the Share Alternative is 12:00 (South African time) on
Friday, 13 June 2014.

The salient dates, timetable and all other information relating to the Cash Dividend and Share Alternative disclosed
in the Results Announcement remain unchanged.
