Announcement of dividend reinvestment price and confirmation of finalisation information

REDEFINE PROPERTIES LIMITED
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)
(Registration number 1999/018591/06)
JSE share code: RDF ISIN: ZAE000190252
(Approved as a REIT by the JSE)
(“Redefine” or the “company”)


ANNOUNCEMENT OF DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PRICE AND CONFIRMATION OF FINALISATION INFORMATION


Further to the declaration of a cash dividend of 44.30 cents per share (the “cash dividend”) with an election to
reinvest the cash dividend in return for Redefine shares (the “share reinvestment alternative”), announced on SENS
on 3 November 2016 (the “declaration announcement”), the price per share, as determined on 15 November 2016,
applicable to Redefine shareholders electing the share reinvestment alternative and recorded in the register on Friday,
25 November 2016 (i.e. the “record date”), is R10.53 per share (the “reinvestment price”). The reinvestment price is
a 0.20622% premium to the five-day volume weighted average traded price (less the cash dividend) and a 3.26567%
premium to the closing spot price (less the cash dividend) of Redefine shares on the JSE prior to the finalisation date.

The ratio in respect of the share reinvestment alternative is 4.20703 shares for every 100 shares held on the record date
by South African resident shareholders exempt from dividend tax and 3.57597 shares for every 100 shares held on the
record date by non-resident shareholders subject to dividend tax at 15%.

Where a shareholder’s entitlement to the shares in relation to the share reinvestment alternative, calculated with
reference to the above share ratio, gives rise to an entitlement to a fraction of a new share, such fraction will be
rounded down to the nearest whole number with the cash balance of the dividend being retained by the shareholder.

Dividend withholding tax (“dividend tax”) implications

Dividend tax implications for South African resident shareholders

Dividends received from a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) are exempt from dividend tax in the hands of South
African resident shareholders provided that the shareholders have provided the requisite declaration as to residence as
detailed in paragraph 5 of the circular to Redefine shareholders dated and posted on Friday, 4 November 2016 (the
“circular”). South African resident shareholders, who have submitted the requisite documentation and are exempt
from dividend tax, will accordingly receive a net dividend of 44.30 cents per share.

Dividend tax implications for non-resident shareholders

Dividends received from a REIT by a non-resident shareholder will be subject to dividend 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 non-resident shareholder. A reduced dividend withholding rate in terms of the
applicable DTA may only be relied upon if the non-resident shareholder has provided the requisite documentation as
detailed in paragraph 5 of the circular. Non-resident shareholders who have submitted the requisite documentation and
assuming that a dividend tax rate of 15% is applicable, will accordingly receive a net dividend of 37.655 cents per
share.

Due to the fact that the cash dividend or share reinvestment alternative may have tax implications for resident and
non-resident shareholders, shareholders are encouraged to consult their professional advisors should they be in any
doubt as to the appropriate action to take.

Illustrative example on the application of rounding and the impact of dividend tax

The application of the rounding principle of rounding down to the nearest whole number and the impact of dividend
tax on shareholders has been illustrated by way of the example below:

Trading of Redefine shares

Shareholders are advised that, as per the published timetable, the last date to trade is Tuesday, 22 November 2016 and
the shares will trade ex-dividend on Wednesday, 23 November 2016.

As published in the declaration announcement, shareholders electing the share reinvestment alternative are once again
alerted to the fact that the new shares will be listed on LDT + 3 and that these new shares can only be traded on
LDT + 3 being Friday, 25 November 2016, due to the fact that settlement of the shares will be three days after the
record date, being Wednesday, 30 November 2016, which differs from the conventional one day after record date
settlement process.

Shareholders are reminded that the last day to elect to receive the share reinvestment alternative is 12:00 (South
African time) on Friday, 25 November 2016. No action is required if you wish to receive the cash dividend.

The salient dates, timetable and all other information relating to the dividend (including the tax implications) and
share reinvestment alternative disclosed in the declaration announcement remain unchanged.
