                   Completion of Acquisition in Hamburg for €8.4m
                  and completion of a Land Sale in Berlin for €0.95m


Sirius Real Estate, the leading operator of branded business parks providing conventional space and
flexible workspace in Germany, is pleased to announce the completion of an acquisition for €8.4
million and the sale of non-income producing land in Berlin for €0.95 million. Dates of notarisation
and the details of the two transactions were announced with the Company’s trading statement on 9
October 2017.

In summary:

    •   The Hamburg-Hummelsbüttel acquisition for €8.4 million (including acquisition costs) is an
        office building and has 11,223 sqm of lettable space and is currently 100% vacant providing
        substantial value-add potential.

    •   The sale of 5,000 sqm of non-income producing land on the outskirts of the Tempelhof
        business park in Berlin for €0.95 million, represents a significant premium to book value and
        a major opportunity for this site to re-invest the proceeds into accretive new projects.

Andrew Coombs Chief Executive Officer of Sirius Real Estate, said:

“These are two good transactions for Sirius and in the case of the Hamburg acquisition, it provides
excellent scope to use our intensive asset management skills to add recurring income and increase
capital values. Additionally, Hamburg is a new and key market for us, and with this site and another
currently under notarisation we are well positioned to make a strong entry.

The land sale at a significant premium to book value reflects our strategy to maximise shareholder
returns at the asset level by crystallising profits on non-income producing assets and finding the most
accretive sources to fund our capex programme. The proceeds from this sale will be invested to
convert suboptimal space into high-quality offices on the same business park from which we expect
to generate a high return.”

About Sirius Real Estate

Sirius is a property company listed on the main market and premium segment of the London Stock
Exchange and the main board of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. It is a leading operator of branded
business parks providing conventional space and flexible workspace in Germany. The Company's core
strategy is the acquisition of business parks at attractive yields, the integration of these business parks
into its network of sites under the Company's own name as well as offering a range of branded
products within those sites, and the reconfiguration and upgrade of existing and vacant space to
appeal to the local market, through intensive asset management and investment. The Company's
strategy aims to deliver attractive returns for shareholders by increasing rental income and improving
cost recoveries and capital values, as well as by enhancing those returns through financing its assets
on favourable terms. Once sites are mature and net income and values have been optimised, the
Company may take the opportunity to refinance the sites to release capital for investment in new sites
or consider the disposal of sites in order to recycle equity into assets which present greater
opportunity for the asset management skills of the Company's team.
