POSTING OF THE ANNUAL REPORT, NOTICE OF AGM AND NO CHANGE STATEMENT


RDI, the income-focused FTSE 250 UK-REIT, is pleased to announce that the following documents have
been sent to shareholders today: -

  -   the Annual Report incorporating the audited annual financial results for the year ended 31 August 2017
      (the “Annual Report”)
  -   the notice of the Annual General Meeting to be held on 25 January 2018 (“AGM”); and
  -   the form of proxy in respect of the AGM

      (together, the “Documents”).

Please note that the Annual Report contains no material changes to the results for the year ended 31 August
2017, released on SENS and RNS on 26 October 2017.

The AGM will be held at the Company’s UK Head Office at 33 Regent Street, London SW1Y 4NE on
Thursday 25 January 2018 at 11.00am (UK time). The record date to attend and vote at the AGM will be close
of business on Friday, 19 January 2018 for shareholders on the South African register, and close of business
on Tuesday, 23 January 2018 for shareholders on the UK register.

The Company advises that, as Redefine Properties Limited (“RDF”) is no longer considered to be a controlling
shareholder of the Company due to its shareholding in RDI now being below 30%, the relationship agreement
between RDF and RDI has ceased to operate and the dual election of Independent Non-executive Directors at
the AGM will therefore no longer be required under LR 9.2.2E.

The Company also wishes to draw shareholders’ attention to Greg Clarke’s statement in the Annual Report
that he intends to step down as Chairman of the Company during the course of 2018. The exact timing will
be determined by the process to recruit a new Chairman and execute an appropriate handover. Michael
Farrow, the Company’s Senior Independent Director, will be appointed the Chair of the Nominations
Committee, with immediate effect, and will oversee the appointment of a new Chairman. An announcement
in this regard will be released as soon as a successor to Greg Clarke has been appointed,

Copies of the Documents will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism in the UK and will shortly be
available for inspection at: http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM and can also be viewed on the Company’s
website, www.rdireit.com
