(“Redefine International” or the “Company”)


FINALISATION ANNOUNCEMENT IN RESPECT OF THE SECOND INTERIM DIVIDEND FOR THE
YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2015


Redefine International shareholders are referred to the announcement released on 30 October 2015 wherein
shareholders were advised that the board of directors (“the board”) of the Company had declared a second interim
dividend of 1.65 pence per share (the “dividend”) in respect of the year ended 31 August 2015 and that the board
intended to offer to shareholders the election to receive either a cash dividend (“cash dividend”) or 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”).

The total dividend to be paid, whether as a cash dividend or scrip dividend, will be paid as follows:

       -         0.330 pence (20%) will comprise a property income distribution (“PID”). The PID will be subject to a
                 deduction of a 20% UK withholding tax unless exemptions apply.
       -         1.320 pence (80%) will comprise a non-PID. As a non-PID, this will be treated as an ordinary UK company
                 dividend, with no withholding tax deducted.

The Company is now pleased to announce the scrip dividend reference price applicable to the scrip dividend and, for
shareholders on the SA share register, the exchange rate applicable to the cash dividend. The salient dates for payment
of the dividend published in the announcement dated 30 October 2015 remain unchanged.

Further details on the scrip dividend are contained in the circular which was posted on 30 October 2015 (the
“circular”), and the related election form, copies of which are available at www.redefineinternational.com. Terms
defined in the circular shall bear the same meaning in this announcement.

           which will be paid as follows:

* Certain categories of UK shareholders may apply for exemption, in which case the PID element will be paid gross.

(ii)       Shareholders who elect to receive shares

           (a)      Dividend equivalent values:

                    Shareholders who make an election to receive the scrip dividend instead of the cash dividend will receive
                    shares with a value equivalent to a dividend per share as follows:
                                                                                     Shareholders on the         Shareholders on the

* Certain categories of UK shareholders may apply for exemption, in which case the PID element will be paid gross.

       (b)     Share entitlement: Shareholders on the UK share register:

               For Redefine International shares traded on the LSE, the scrip dividend reference price is calculated as a
               2.5% discount on 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 5 November 2015, less the amount of the
               dividend per Redefine International share. Accordingly the scrip dividend reference price applicable to
               shareholders on the UK share register is 52.365 pence. The scrip dividend share allocation will be as
               follows:

                                                                                                  PID element
                                                                     Non-PID element                   (Gross)      PID element (Net)
               No. of shares required to be held for one
               new Redefine International share                             38.73151                154.92604              193.94444

               The number of shares to be allocated will be calculated by dividing the total value of the dividend
               otherwise receivable by the shareholder by the scrip dividend reference price. Any fractional entitlement
               which:

               -         is less than one half of a new Redefine International share, will be rounded down to the nearest
                         whole number;

               -         is equal to or greater than one half of a new Redefine International share but less than a whole
                         new Redefine International share, will be rounded up to the nearest whole number; and

               -         no fractions of scrip dividend shares will be issued, nor will any residual entitlements be carried
                         forward to any future scrip dividend issue, and any amount of dividend not represented by scrip
                         dividend shares will not be paid or payable to the relevant shareholders in respect of that
                         dividend, but will be retained by the Company.

       (c)     Share entitlement: Shareholders on the South Africa share register:

               For Redefine International shares traded on the JSE, the scrip dividend reference price will be calculated
               as a 2.5% discount on 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 5 November 2015, less the amount
               of the dividend per Redefine International share as converted into Rand at the exchange rate of 21.32550
               ZAR to 1 GBP. Accordingly the scrip dividend reference price applicable to shareholders on the SA share
               register is 1,115.11793 ZAR cents. The scrip dividend share allocation will be as follows:

                                                                                                  PID element
                                                                     Non-PID element                   (Gross)      PID element (Net)
               No. of shares required to be held for one
               new Redefine International share                             38.67629                154.70517              193.38132


               The number of shares to be allocated will be calculated by dividing the total value of the dividend
               otherwise receivable by the shareholder by the scrip dividend reference price. Any fractional entitlement
               which:

               -      is less than one half of a new Redefine International share, will be rounded down to the nearest
                      whole number;

               -      is equal to or greater than one half of a new Redefine International share but less than a whole
                      new Redefine International share, will be rounded up to the nearest whole number; and

               -      no fractions of scrip dividend shares will be issued, nor will any residual entitlements be carried
                      forward to any future scrip dividend issue, and any amount of dividend not represented by scrip
                      dividend shares will not be paid or payable to the relevant shareholders in respect of that
                      dividend, but will be retained by the Company.

              By way of illustration of the above, the scrip dividend share calculation will be as follows for a
              shareholder who holds 100 shares:

                                                                        Shareholders on the       Shareholders on the
                                                                          UK share register         SA share register
              Amount of non-PID dividend entitled to receive
              (per (a) above x 100):                                            135.2 pence                 R28.83208

              Amount of PID dividend entitled to receive (per
              (a) above x 100):                                                  27.0 pence                  R5.76642

(iii)   Notes for shareholders on the SA share register

        On application by shareholders on the SA share register, 5% of the 20% UK withholding tax deducted, in
        respect of the PID element of the cash dividend, is claimable from the UK’s HM Revenue & Customs
        (“HMRC”), resulting in an effective UK withholding tax rate of 15%. The Company will account to HMRC in
        Pounds Sterling for the total UK withholding tax deducted. Settlement of any claims for refund will be
        calculated and settled in Pounds Sterling by HMRC.

        The information given in section (i) and (ii) above, as applicable, will assist with applications for refunds. For
        information on PIDs and refund claims, including claim forms and guidance on how to complete them, visit
        http://www.redefineinternational.com/investor-relations/real-estate-investment-trust/.

        The number of shares in issue as at the declaration date was 1,474,331,331 ordinary shares of 8 pence each.
