DIPULA INCOME FUND LIMITED
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)
(Registration number 2005/013963/06)
JSE share code: DIB ISIN: ZAE000203394
(Approved as a REIT by the JSE)
(“Dipula” or “the company”)


DECLARATION OF A CASH DIVIDEND WITH THE ELECTION AVAILABLE TO DIPULA B ORDINARY SHAREHOLDERS TO REINVEST THE CASH DIVIDEND IN 
RETURN FOR B ORDINARY SHARES


On 11 November 2015 it was announced in the company’s results for the year ended 31 August 2015 (the “year end results”) that
the board of directors of Dipula has declared a final cash dividend of 44.95016 cents per B ordinary share (the “cash dividend”).

B ordinary shareholders are advised that they have an election, in respect of all or part of their B ordinary shareholding, to re-
invest the cash dividend in return for B ordinary shares (the “share re-investment alternative”), failing which they will receive
the cash dividend. The share re-investment alternative is not being offered to Dipula A ordinary shareholders, who will all receive
the cash dividend detailed in the year end results.

A circular to Dipula B ordinary shareholders providing further information in respect of the cash dividend and share re-investment
alternative will be posted to Dipula B ordinary shareholders today, 12 November 2015.

Shareholders who have dematerialised their shares through a Central Securities Depository Participant (“CSDP”) or broker should
instruct their CSDP or broker with regard to their election in terms of the custody agreement entered into between them and their
CSDP or broker.

Notes:
1. B ordinary shareholders electing to participate in the share re-investment alternative are alerted to the fact that the
   new B ordinary shares will be listed on LDT + 3 and can therefore only be traded on LDT + 3. This is due to the fact
   that settlement of the B ordinary shares will be two days after the record date, which differs from the conventional one
   day after record date settlement process.
2. B ordinary shares may not be dematerialised or rematerialised between Monday, 30 November 2015 and Friday, 4 December
   2015, both days inclusive.
3. The above dates and times are subject to change. Any changes will be released on SENS.
                                                                                                                              

Tax implications

B ordinary shareholders are referred to the announcement released on SENS on 11 November 2015 for details as to the tax
implications of the cash dividend and share re-investment alternative. B ordinary shareholders are advised that pre-taxation funds
are utilised for the purposes of the share re-investment alternative and that tax will be due on the total cash dividend amount of
44.95016 cents per B ordinary share.

The cash dividend and share re-investment alternative may have tax implications for South African resident as well as non-
resident shareholders. Shareholders are therefore encouraged to consult their professional advisors should they be in any doubt as
to the appropriate action to take.
