REIT DISTRIBUTION ANNOUNCEMENT IN RELATION TO THE RDF INSTALMENT

Notice is hereby given that as a result of the REIT distribution declaration
relating to
REDEFINE PROPERTIES LIMITED (RDF) shares, the holders of RDFSTH share
instalments will receive a REDEFINE PROPERTIES LIMITED (RDF) REIT distribution
of cents 47.18 (gross) per Instalment.

As per the Redefine SENS announcement issued on 06/11/2017:
Tax implications

Redefine was granted REIT status by the JSE with effect from 1 September 2013 in
line with the REIT structure as provided for in the Income Tax Act, No 58 of
1962, as amended (the Income Tax Act), and section 13 of the JSE Listings
Requirements. The REIT structure is a tax regime that allows a REIT to deduct
qualifying distributions paid to investors, in determining its taxable income.
The cash dividend of 47.18000 cents per share meets the requirements of a
qualifying distribution for the purposes of section 25BB of the Income Tax Act
(a qualifying distribution) with the result that:

- Qualifying distributions received by resident Redefine shareholders must be
included in the gross income of such shareholders (as a non-exempt dividend in
terms of section 10(1)(k)(aa) of the Income Tax Act), with the effect that the
qualifying distribution is taxable as income in the hands of the Redefine
shareholder. These qualifying distributions are, however, exempt from dividends
withholding tax, provided that the South African resident shareholders provided
the following forms to their CSDP or broker, as the case may be, in respect of
uncertificated shares, or the Company, in respect of certificated shares:

A declaration that the dividends are exempt from dividends tax; and
A written undertaking to inform the CSDP, broker or the Company, as the case
may be, should the circumstances affecting the exemption change or the
beneficial owner cease to be the beneficial owner, Both in the form prescribed
by the Commissioner for the South African Revenue Service. Shareholders are
advised to contact their CSDP, broker or the Company, as the case may be, to
arrange for the abovementioned documents to be submitted prior to payment of the
distribution, if such documents have not already been submitted; and

- Qualifying distributions received by non-resident Redefine shareholders will
not be taxable as income and instead will be treated as ordinary dividends but
which are exempt in terms of the usual dividend exemptions per section 10(1)(k)
of the Income Tax Act. It should be noted that until 31 December 2013,
qualifying distributions received by non-residents were not subject to dividends
withholding tax. On 22 February 2017, the dividends withholding tax rate was
increased from 15.0% to 20.0% and accordingly, any qualifying distribution will
be subject to dividends withholding tax at 20.0%, 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 shareholder. Assuming
dividends withholding tax will be withheld at a rate of 20.0%, the net dividend
amount due to non- resident shareholders is 37.74400 cents per share. A reduced
dividend withholding rate in terms of the applicable DTA may only be relied upon
if the non-resident shareholder has provided the following forms to their CSDP
or broker, as the case may be, in respect of uncertificated shares, or the
Company, in respect of certificated shares:

A declaration that the dividend is subject to a reduced rate as a result of the
application of a DTA; and A written undertaking to inform their CSDP, broker or
the Company, as the case may be, should the circumstances affecting the reduced
rate change or the beneficial owner cease to be the beneficial owner Both in the
form prescribed by the Commissioner for the South African Revenue Service.

Non-resident shareholders are advised to contact their CSDP, broker or the
Company, as the case may be, to arrange for the abovementioned documents to be
submitted prior to payment of the dividend if such documents have not already
been submitted, if applicable.
