DECLARED CASH DISTRIBUTION ANNOUNCEMENT ON REDEFINE PROPERTIES LIMITED HOT ENHANCED DIVIDEND
SECURITIES – (“RDFIHH”)


The Directors of Redefine Properties Limited have declared a cash distribution of 39.00 cents payable on Monday,
1 June 2015 to ordinary holders recorded in the books of the company at the close of business on Friday, 29 May
2015.

Redefine Properties Limited was granted REIT status by the JSE Limited with effect from 1 September 2013 in line
with the REIT structure as provided for in the Income Tax Act, No. 58 of 1962, as amended (the Income Tax Act)
and section 13 of the JSE Listings Requirements.

The REIT structure is a tax regime that allows a REIT to deduct qualifying distributions paid to investors, in
determining its taxable income.

The cash distribution of 39.00 cents per linked unit meets the requirements of a “qualifying distribution” for the
purposes of section 25BB of the Income Tax Act (a qualifying distribution) with the result that:

1)         qualifying distributions received by resident Redefine linked unit-holders must be included in the gross
           income of such linked unit-holders (as a non-exempt dividend in terms of section 10(1)(k)(aa) of the
           Income Tax Act), with the effect that the qualifying distribution is taxable as income in the hands of the
           Redefine linked unit-holder. These qualifying distributions are however exempt from dividends
           withholding tax, provided that the South African resident linked unit-holders provided the following
           forms to their CSDP or broker, as the case may be, in respect of uncertificated linked units, or the
           company, in respect of certificated linked units:

 2)        a declaration that the distribution is exempt from dividends tax; and

 3)        a written undertaking to inform the CSDP, broker or the company, as the case may be, should the
            circumstances affecting the exemption change or the beneficial owner cease to be the beneficial
           owner, both in the form prescribed by the Commissioner for the South African Revenue Service. Linked
            unit-holders are advise to contact their CSDP, broker or the company, as the case may be, to arrange
            for the abovementioned documents to be submitted prior to payment of the distribution, if such
            documents have not already been submitted.

4)          qualifying distributions received by non-resident Redefine linked unit-holders will not be taxable as
             income and instead will be treated as ordinary dividends but which are exempt in terms of the usual
             dividend exemptions per section10(1)(k) of the Income Tax Act. It should be noted that until 31
            December 2013 qualifying distributions received by non-residents were not subject to dividends
            withholding tax. From 1 January 2014, any qualifying distribution will be subject to dividends withholding
            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 unit-holder. Assuming
            dividends withholding tax will be withheld at a rate of 15%, the net distribution amount due to non-
            resident linked unit-holders is 33,1500 cents per linked unit. A reduced dividends withholding rate in
terms                 of the applicable DTA, may only be relied upon if the non-resident linked unit-holder has
provided the                    following forms to their CSDP or broker, as the case may be, in respect of
uncertificated linked units, or                    the company, in respect of certificated linked units:

                     4.1.     a declaration that the distribution is subject to a reduced rate as a result of the
                              application of a DTA; and
                     4.2.     a written undertaking to inform their CSDP, broker or the company, as the case may
                              be, should the circumstances affecting the reduced rate change or the beneficial
                              owner cease to be the beneficial owner, both in the form prescribed by the
                              Commissioner for the South African Revenue Service. Non-resident linked unit-
                              holders are advised to contact their CSDP, broker or the company, as the case may
                             be, to arrange for the abovementioned documents to be submitted prior to payment of
                             the distribution if such documents have not already been submitted, if applicable.
