Change In South African Dividend Witholding Tax Rate

Mara Delta Property Holdings Limited
(previously Delta Africa Property Holdings Limited)
(Registered by continuation in the Republic of Mauritius)
(Registration number 128881 C1/GBL)
SEM share code: DEL.N0000
JSE share code: MDP
ISIN: MU0473N00028
(“Mara Delta” or “the Company”)


                              CHANGE IN SOUTH AFRICAN DIVIDEND WITHOLDING TAX RATE

Shareholders are referred to the announcement by the South African Minister of Finance on 22 February 2017, that the South
African dividend withholding tax rate has been increased from 15% to 20%, effective for dividends declared with a payment date
on or after 22 February 2017.

Accordingly, shareholders are advised that the dividend declaration timetable as announced on Wednesday, 8 February 2017,
remains unchanged. South African shareholders are hereby advised that the net dividend amount as announced to market on 21
February 2017 has been amended as set out below.

As previously advised, shareholders on the South African share register will receive the interim dividend in South African Rand
(“ZAR”), converted from United States Dollars (“USD”) at an exchange rate of USD1.00: ZAR13.10040. Accordingly, the interim
dividend of 6.12000 USD cents per share will be equal to 80.17445 cents per share.

In terms of the JSE Listings Requirements regarding Dividends Tax, the following information is only of direct application to
shareholders on the South African share register, as the dividend is regarded as a foreign dividend for shareholders on the South
African register:
-     the gross local interim dividend amount is 80.17445 ZAR cents per share for shareholders exempt from paying South
      African Dividends Tax; and
-     the net local interim dividend amount is 64.13956 ZAR cents per share for shareholders liable to pay South African
      Dividends Tax.

A dividend withholding tax will be applicable to shareholders who are not exempt.

For the avoidance of doubt, dividend tax, and therefore the information provided in this announcement, is only of direct
application to shareholders on the South African register.

By order of the board
28 February 2017
