UPDATE ON THE STATUS OF NEPI AND ROCKCASTLE


Pursuant to the merger of New Europe Property Investments plc (“old NEPI”) and Rockcastle Global Real Estate
Company Limited (“old Rockcastle”) (the “merger transaction”), the company issued NEPI Rockcastle shares (“NRP
shares”) in settlement of the rights to NRP shares distributed by old NEPI and old Rockcastle as dividends or capital.
On 18 July 2017, old NEPI was delisted from the JSE Limited (“JSE”) and the Bucharest Stock Exchange, and old
Rockcastle was delisted from the JSE and the Mauritius Stock Exchange Ltd. Shareholders (other than old NEPI
shareholders who elected to have their old NEPI shares repurchased) were issued share statements reflecting their
unlisted shareholding in each company (“unlisted shares”).

To implement the merger transaction, old NEPI and old Rockcastle transferred 100% of their respective assets and
liabilities to NEPI Rockcastle. Old NEPI and old Rockcastle no longer own any assets and are effectively shell
companies. Unlisted shares evidenced by old NEPI and old Rockcastle share statements therefore do not have any
underlying value, with the NEPI Rockcastle shares that were received by shareholders pursuant to the implementation
of the merger transaction reflecting the full value of the merged old NEPI and old Rockcastle entities.

At the extraordinary general meeting of old NEPI shareholders held on 6 July 2017, shareholders authorised the
administrative dissolution of old NEPI as soon as reasonably practicable following the settlement of all liabilities of old
NEPI. This administrative dissolution is well advanced and is expected to be completed by 31 January 2018. Similarly,
at the general meeting of old Rockcastle shareholders held on 3 July 2017, shareholders authorised the board of directors
to initiate, as and when it deems fit, procedures for the winding-up of the company under section 102 of the Mauritian
Insolvency Act or an application for removal of the company from the register of companies in Mauritius under section
309 of the Mauritian Companies Act at any time following the implementation of the merger transaction.

Shareholders will be advised if and when the above processes have been completed. There will be no distribution to
shareholders upon dissolution or winding-up of either old NEPI or old Rockcastle.
