UK guidelines and the Board is aware that such guidelines differ to those in South Africa and will continue to
liaise with South African shareholders on such matters.

delivering superior distributions to its shareholders throughout the property cycle.
The Company’s income driven total returns are underpinned by a diversified portfolio, together with an efficient capital
structure. The continued transformation of both the corporate structure and asset base offer a solid foundation to drive
further value. The diversified portfolio, independently valued at £1.53 billion, is focused in Europe's two strongest
economies, being the United Kingdom and Germany. The portfolio is weighted towards well located properties across
a range of sectors, including retail, offices, distribution and hotels, which benefit from strong demand and from which
they can capture income and value growth by attracting high calibre occupiers on long leases. The Company’s
investment philosophy is to effectively allocate recycled capital from mature assets into sectors and locations with
strong occupier fundamentals and individual assets with realisable upside.
Currently the secure income stream is supported by a diversified portfolio and tenant base, with a WAULT of 7.8 years
complemented by an average debt maturity of 6.9 years of which over 95% of interest costs are either fixed or
capped. The Company is focused on all aspects impacting shareholder distributions and boasts one of the lowest cost
ratios in the industry whilst continuously driving a lower cost of debt.

Johannesburg Stock Exchange and is included within the FTSE 250, EPRA and GPR indices.
