The above dates and times are subject to change. Any changes will be released on RNS and SENS.

2016, both days inclusive.

As set out in the Scrip Dividend Alternative Circular, Sirius Real Estate today announces the Scrip
Dividend Reference Prices and the Conversion Rate for the purposes of converting the Final Dividend
declared in connection with the year ended 31 March 2016 from Euros into Rand (for Shareholders on
the SA Share Register).

The Scrip Dividend Reference Prices are as follows:

Shareholders on the UK Share Register:                    48.22 cents (Euro)

Shareholders on the SA Share Register:                    830.45839 cents (Rand)

The number of New Shares, which Shareholders electing to take the Scrip Dividend Alternative will
therefore receive, are as follows:

Shareholders on the UK Share Register:                1 New Share for every 37.09231 Ordinary Shares
held

Shareholders on the SA Share Register:                1 New Share for every 36.84113 Ordinary Shares held

The Conversion Rate
The Conversion Rate (which will also be the Euro to Rand Conversion Rate in the Scrip Dividend
Alternative Circular) for the purposes of calculating the Final Dividend declared in connection with the
year ended 31 March 2016 payable to Shareholders on the SA Share Register will be 17.3397 Rand to
1 Euro. For purposes of South African shareholders the Scrip Dividend is regarded as a foreign
dividend.

On this basis, Shareholders on the SA Share Register will receive a dividend of 22.54161 cents (Rand)
per Ordinary Share, which they may take in cash or in New Shares by electing to do so by way of the
Scrip Dividend Alternative.

In accordance with the Listings Requirements of the JSE, the Company confirms that any cash dividend
received by SA Shareholders who are not exempt from dividend withholding tax of 15%, is expected
to be 19.16037 cents (Rand) per Ordinary Share. As set out in the Scrip Dividend Alternative Circular,
South African Shareholders who have elected to receive the dividend in scrip form should not be
subject to income tax on receipt of New Shares or dividend withholding tax.
