(“Fairvest”)


ANNOUNCEMENT OF DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PRICE AND CONFIRMATION OF FINALISATION INFORMATION


REINVESTMENT ALTERNATIVE

Shareholders are referred to Fairvest’s summarised consolidated results for the six months ended
31 December 2017, as announced on the JSE’s Stock Exchange News Service (“SENS”) on 1 March 2018, advising
that Fairvest’s board of directors has approved and declared an interim gross distribution, made out of income
reserves, of 9.806 cents per share for the six-month period ended 31 December 2017, with a reinvestment
alternative (“Reinvestment Alternative”). Additional information regarding the dividend and the Reinvestment
Alternative, including the tax treatment and timetable, was released by Fairvest in a separate SENS announcement
on 1 March 2018 (“Detailed Announcement”).

In terms of the Reinvestment Alternative, shareholders will be entitled, in respect of all or part of their
shareholdings, to elect to reinvest the cash dividend of 9.806 cents per share, in return for Fairvest ordinary shares,
failing which they will receive the cash dividend. Further details regarding the Reinvestment Alternative can be
found in the circular distributed to Fairvest shareholders on Wednesday, 14 March 2018 (“Circular”).

REINVESTMENT PRICE

Fairvest confirms that the price applicable to shareholders electing the Reinvestment Alternative and recorded in
the register on Friday, 6 April 2018 (“Record Date”), is R2.08524 per new Fairvest share (“Reinvestment Price”).

The Reinvestment Price is equal to a 2.5% discount to the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of R2.23677
at which Fairvest shares traded on the JSE over the five days prior to the finalisation date of 22 March 2018, less
the dividend for the six months ended 31 December 2017 of 9.806 cents per share.

DIVIDEND WITHHOLDING TAX (“DIVIDEND TAX”) IMPLICATIONS

Dividend Tax implications for South African resident shareholders

Dividends received from a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) are exempt from Dividend Tax in the hands of
South African resident shareholders provided that the shareholders have provided the requisite documentation,
as detailed in paragraph 4 of the Circular. South African resident shareholders, who have submitted the requisite
documentation and are exempt from Dividend Tax, will accordingly receive a net dividend of 9.806 cents per share.
Dividend Tax implications for non-resident shareholders

Dividends received from a REIT by a non-resident shareholder are subject to Dividend Tax at 20%, 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 non-resident shareholder. A reduced dividend withholding rate in terms
of the applicable DTA may only be relied upon if the non-resident shareholder has provided the requisite
documentation as detailed in paragraph 4 of the Circular. Non-resident shareholders who have not submitted the
requisite documentation, and assuming that a Dividend Tax rate of 20% is applicable, will accordingly receive a
net dividend of 7.8448 cents per share.

The impact of Dividend Tax on shareholders has been illustrated by way of the example below:

                                                 South African resident        Non-resident shareholder

 Total net dividend per share (cents)                          9.80600                           7.84480
 Reinvestment Price (R)                                        R2.08524                          R2.08524

Due to the fact that the cash dividend or Reinvestment Alternative may have tax implications for resident and
non-resident shareholders, shareholders are encouraged to consult their professional advisors should they be in
any doubt as to the appropriate action to take.

TRADING OF FAIRVEST SHARES

Further to the Detailed Announcement, shareholders electing the Reinvestment Alternative are reminded of the
fact that the new shares will be listed on last day to trade (“LDT”) + 3 and that these new shares can only be traded
on LDT + 3, being Friday, 6 April 2018, due to the fact that settlement of the shares will occur on Wednesday,
11 April 2018, three business days after Record Date, which differs from the conventional one business day after
Record Date settlement process.

Shareholders are reminded that the last day to elect to receive Reinvestment Alternative is 12:00 (South African
time) on Friday, 6 April 2018.

The salient dates and all other information relating to the cash dividend and Reinvestment Alternative disclosed
in the Detailed Announcement and the Circular remain unchanged.

Alternative in jurisdictions other than South Africa may be restricted by law and a failure to comply with any of
these restrictions may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdictions. The shares have not
