FINALISATION ANNOUNCEMENT IN RESPECT OF THE INTERIM DIVIDEND FOR THE SIX
MONTHS ENDED 29 FEBRUARY 2016


Redefine International shareholders are referred to the announcement released on 26 April 2016 wherein they were
advised that that the board of directors of the Company (the “board”) had approved an interim dividend of
1.625 pence per share in respect of the six months ended 29 February 2016 and that the board intends offering
shareholders a cash dividend or the election to receive 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 Company is now pleased to announce as follows:

    (i)     Of the total UK dividend of 1.625 pence to be paid, whether as a cash dividend or scrip dividend:

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

    (ii)    The GBP to Rand conversion rate is 21.5022. Accordingly, the Rand equivalent of the cash dividend of
            1.625 pence is 34.94108 ZAR cents. Of the total Rand equivalent dividend of 34.94108 ZAR cents to be
            paid, whether as a cash dividend or scrip dividend:

            -      27.95286 ZAR cents (80%) will comprise a PID. The PID will be subject to a deduction of 20%
                   UK withholding tax unless exemptions apply.
            -      6.98822 ZAR cents (20%) will comprise a non-PID. As a non-PID, this will be treated as an
                   ordinary UK company dividend, with no withholding tax deducted.

    (iii)   The scrip dividend reference price applicable to the scrip dividend is 44.239 pence, being 2% discount to
            the average closing price of Redefine International shares traded on the LSE over a period five days (less
            the amount of the cash dividend).

    (iv)    For shareholders on the South African share register who elect to participate in the scrip dividend, the
            scrip reference price equivalent is R9.51236.

The salient dates for payment of the dividend published in the announcement dated 26 April 2016 remain unchanged.

Further details on the scrip dividend are contained in the circular issued on 26 April 2016 (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.
(i)     Shareholders receiving the cash dividend

        Shareholders who do not make an election to receive shares will receive a cash dividend calculated as follows:

                                                                                      Shareholders on the          Shareholders on the
                                                                                        UK share register            SA share register
         Non-PID element                                                                      0.325 pence            6.98822 ZAR cents
         Plus/or
         PID element (gross)                                                                  1.300 pence           27.95286 ZAR cents
         *Less 20% withholding tax                                                            0.260 pence            5.59057 ZAR cents
         PID element (net)                                                                    1.040 pence           22.36229 ZAR cents
       * 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

        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, 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 (i) above x 100):                                                        32.5 pence                       R6.98822
          No. of shares entitled to receive:
          Calculation:                                                     32.5 pence/44.239 pence              R6.98822/R9.51236
          No. of new shares:                                                                     1                              1

          Net amount of PID dividend entitled to receive
          (per (i) above x 100):                                                       104.0 pence                      R22.36229
          No. of shares entitled to receive:
          Calculation:                                                    104.0 pence/44.239 pence             R22.36229/R9.51236
          No. of new shares:                                                                     2                              2

        * R is the equivalent of 100 ZAR cents.
(iii)   Notes for shareholders on the South African share register

        On application by shareholders on the South African 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.
