REIT DISTRIBUTION ANNOUNCEMENT IN RELATION TO THE RDF SHARE INSTALMENT

Notice is hereby given that as a result of the REIT Distribution declaration
relating to REDEFINE PROPERTIES LIMITED (RDF) shares, the holders of RDFSTF
share instalments will receive a REDEFINE PROPERTIES LIMITED (RDF) REIT
Distribution of 41,00 cents (gross) per Instalment.

As per the Redefine SENS announcement issued on 05/11/2015:

Redefine was granted REIT status by the JSE with effect from 1 September 2013 in
line with the REIT structure as provided for in the Income Tax Act, 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.

Qualifying distributions received by resident Redefine shareholders must be
included in the gross income of such shareholders (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
shareholder. These qualifying distributions are however exempt from dividends
withholding tax, provided that the South African resident shareholders provided
the following forms to their CSDP or broker, as the case may be, in respect of
uncertificated shares, or the company, in respect of certificated shares:

- a declaration that the dividends are exempt from dividends tax; and
- 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.
Shareholders are advised to contact their CSDP, broker or the company, as the
case may be, to arrange for the above mentioned documents to be submitted prior
to payment of the distribution, if such documents have not already been
submitted.

Qualifying distributions received by non-resident Redefine shareholders 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 section 10(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 shareholder. Assuming dividends
withholding tax will be withheld at a rate of 15%, the net dividend amount due
to non-resident shareholders is 34,85000 cents per share. A reduced dividend
withholding rate in terms of the applicable DTA, may only be relied upon if the
non-resident shareholder has provided the following forms to their CSDP or
broker, as the case may be, in respect of uncertificated shares, or the company,
in respect of certificated shares:
- a declaration that the dividend is subject to a reduced rate as a result of
the application of a DTA; and
- 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
shareholders are advised to contact their CSDP, broker or the company, as the
case may be,to arrange for the above mentioned documents to be submitted prior
to payment of the dividend if such documents have not already been submitted, if
applicable.
